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.

John attempts to make his powers active, but nothing happens. Even so, the robot doesn't give you the impression of being unstoppable nor unpinnable. He doesn't pause when his powers don't work, and leaps towards the robot, pushing his arm under its head, and knocking out its gun arm as it fires at him when he advances. The blast hits the ceiling sparking against roof.
OOC: The robot, with attack prepared, fires but misses. John rolls a natural 20 for the hit, making the hit on this round a crit if he makes his grapple check. Grapple check is an opposed roll. John gets a 9, hero point used and gets a 19, the robot scores a 15, and John ties it up.
John spins over the robot, locking its arms in front of it with one hand. He reaches around, locking his hands together and squeezes. The robot lets out a fizzle and sparks fly before the robot stops moving.
OOC: I assumed you'd do damage, since you can't pin and do damage. Robot fails its damage save, badly, and is rendered inoperable, it's systems crushed by the bear hug.
Once Stealer makes his move, I'll resolve Johan's duplication and Carl's actions. If you want to change your plan with Johan, feel free. Neutron won't be posting till tomorrow.

"No... Get it out... take your filthy hands off of me!" X12 screams. Rising to his feet, X12 turns to 'the closest animate being (robot or person)*' and bellows, "I'LL KILL YOU! KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME!!"
OOC: I'm assuming I'm delusional at this point; if I can't actually make out who people are when I rise, feel free to point me at the closest person and sic me on them. If I can actually make out who people are when I rise, point me at the nearest Leader, and sic me on him.

You grab hold of the nearby medical bot angrily, the flashback still fresh in your mind. It's repeated voicings of "Directive 12 override. Orders?" as it stares at you bring you back to reality, if a bit confused. You aren't in that room anymore, you can tell. But why are you wearing the same bracelet?
OOC: Nope, you have no weakness really; the flashbacks are painful and disjointed memories, leaving you dazed, but typically are very important pieces of information or links to your forgotten past. Your reaction was definitely right, but the flashbacks won't make you attack your friends, though show emotion, you bet your buscuit!
I'll resolve the rest of the first round of combat once Neutron does his action. For some reason I left off Dara, who, amazingly, got lower than Neutron with a 2 for initiative! See, it can get worse!
