"Great feat of strength Brick. Thou are an impressive warrior." As far as anyone present can recall, this is the first time Helis says something nice about someone; even if it means, "You are good at killing things and I like that."
"Um ... thanks," Ben stammers, clearly thrown by the usually-critical warrior's compliment. Despite Cybermind having powered the robot down, Brick maintains his hold on it.
"Okay, let's gut the power out of this thing before it reboots, yes?" he says nervously.
[sblock=ooc]Hey, nothing wrong with occasionally managing to get things done quickly, I say. [/sblock]
You can try recover the power core with a craft (electronics) check (DC 25). This will take several minutes, unless you to speed up the process (and increase the DC).
BTW, Cybermind has the best chance to do this.

"Ah, yes," Cybermind says. "I should be able to handle this. Please, step back." Cybermind briefly examines the device, assessing the possible pitfalls and areas of concern.
OOC:
Made Craft (Electronics) and Computers checks. Assuming this applies, Cybermind has Comprehend Electronics with Rapid 3, meaning he can understand/communicate 1000x faster than normal humans. His Detect Electronics with the Analytical power feat may also apply.
It takes Cybermind some time to complete the physical task of removing the energy core, but he also nearly effortlessly scans the bases data core to reveal what was going on here:
The aliens continued the bases old purpose of building a robotic army based on the Champion-bot as it's system awakened and continued to malfunction...
He also learns of a sister base specialized in genetic warfare. It sent a distress call three days ago which was obviously not answered...
"Let's get out of here while we can," he agrees. "This place seems trashed well enough on its own, though if we can get the coordinates of the genetics facility, we may want to swing past it. Given what happened here, I have a bad feeling about what kind of distress they were in."
