Initiatives: Loki 26, Enemy leader 24 (1S, 1VP), Speed Demon 22 (prone, 1S, 1HP), Cosmo 22, MM 16, Amazon 15 (1HP, 4S), MK192's 15(1/NA, 2/NA, 3/1DP), X12 14, Soldiers 14, Stealer 12, Straightjacket 12, Carl 12, Jackal 11 (stunned), Anna 6 (stunned), Multibrain 4, Neutron 3
The Leader nearest X12 nods. "Smart lad," he says in an accent different from the Leader up front. "But you won't be helping the pilot, and anyone else will have to wait until we are gone. "M31, complete gathering the samples. You, and you two," he says, gesturing to the soldier and stewards, put her down." He's looking at Raisa.
The M31 robot extends a long tube with a needle at the end of it towards X12 as the other robotic needles zip in and out of the case, depositing their payloads.
X12
As the arm with the needle comes forward, you get an strange white ceiling with florescent lighting. A hand is guiding a needle right towards your left eye. You scream as it pokes you in the eye! You can feel them making incisions in your arms and legs. You beg them to take the bracelet off and let you heal, but they don't listen.
Everyone
As the needle comes in, X12 gets a distant look in his eyes and collapses to his knees, head forward, hands clutched to his eyes. The robot freezes as his tatoo becomes visible.
OOC: X12 is prone and dazed again, but rapidly gaining his capacity again and can act still.
"Sample collection aborted. Directive 12 override. Orders?" the machine says.
The soldier with the case is rapidly organizing the vials of blood. He inserts each vial into a chamber and a light flashes red. With each one, he mutters a sample number and "No dice" and labels it, moving to another sample. When the robot makes the statement, he looks up. "Um... sir? What is a directive 12 override?" he asks to his com-unit. The Leader nearest Michelle lets out a nervous laugh and backs up, gun trained on the robot.
"Well, that's unexpected," the Leader says.
The soldier near the stair well follows his orders. You can see him adjust his blaster rifle, and he squeezes a round off into combat, hitting Raisa in the shoulder. The stewards train their sights on Raisa as well, firing two shots each. Raisa is hit by three of the four shots in the back.
OOC: Raisa has used her hero point for the round. She gets damage saves of 21 against the rifleman, only getting a bruising and taking a stun hit, and saves of 17, 18 and 24 against the stewards shots, taking three more stun hits. Your back feels like it's on fire, but you are still on your feet.
Up front, the soldier cuts three shots at Loki. Two strike his crawling illusion, and one impacts the wall just above his foot. The soldier looks down at him and grins. "Found you." As he says that, a needle streaks in and manages to steal a blood sample before flying off.
OOC: The soldier would have hit, but nailed your illusion instead. His last shot missed you. Next folks up: Stealer, Straighjacket, Multibrain and Neutron can also make their moves and Carl is the only one left to go in the back of the car.
