The force field seems to block teleportation.

"Good work, Optic! I can try to transmute the door now!"

Viridian switches her efforts to changing the blocking door into something more forgiving. Rice paper, perhaps.

Star sends the plasma balls up the nozzles and into the pipes, and she has more than enough range to get all the way back to the main tank. It seems that there is a switching system that allows Scylla to choose which substance she sends through the pipes. Star ignites the napalm storage tank, causing it to explode and destroy the switching system and possibly the contents of the neighboring tanks. Fire periodically falls from the ceiling, as does rubble, but she is pretty sure she's disabled the pipe and nozzle system.


"Nice!" Hope remarks, grinning at the superhero and then starts to putting out flaming napalm that was already there using a combination of strong winds and cold. "Viridian, it might be good to try to transmute the place where the forcefield generates or comes out of." the Aegis agent offers, while she does have some scientific knowledge, it isn't exactly her strong suit. "Or even better, try to transmute part of the field into something reflective, maybe it'll bounce back and destroy itself," she suggested.

"So what else can't we do? Is this still so dang laughably easy for you?" Shooting Star yells at the AI. Huh. I thought there'd be some sort of valve or something that'd block off the pipe; that I could maybe cause early ignition and force a shutdown. Bonus! Should destroying and ruining more stuff really be a cause for celebration though?

"Nice!" Hope remarks, grinning at the superhero and then starts to putting out flaming napalm that was already there using a combination of strong winds and cold.

"Thanks.?" Megan replies, surprised by the enthusiasm in Hope's comment, but grateful for the save from the napalm drips. I don't like you. I shouldn't care about your praise. Was persistent even supposed to be positive? Focus. There's still the door.

"What do you think the orange field does? Is it something we can smash through or overwhelm - or will we have to find a way to turn off or go around
?" she asks, mostly to Optic. She'll extend her line of inquiry and test its properties with a quick burst of plasma.

Hope sees the effect Star has on the shield and decides to 'help out'.

"Get ready to duck if this doesn't work," Hope remarks as she levels her own attack at the shield, ready to deflect it if the energy shield simply bounces it back. She uses her most powerful attack, the lightening blast.

"Nice shot, Star. I guess 'targeted' property damage can come in handy too"

Something to destroy!

"Here, let me try something"
If Hope's efforts seem to be successful and the group doesn't have a good reason for Nitro to not take a turn as well, he'll shockwave the force field.
 

Star, Nitro, and Hope blast the field sequentially, and it gets weaker each time. meanwhile, Optic struggles to hold back the lasers.

After a few rounds, the field fails, and after a few more blasts, so does the armored door behind it. Nitro's shockwave finally blows it down. Looking out through the hole, you see a massive factory. You are about a floor above the ground floor of the factory, and there are stairs down. There are four boiling vats of molten metal, one in each corner, and a set of mini-vats on tracks suspended above them that can pour the metal into molds. Mostly, the molds are located on individual assembly lines that wrap around the vats, where the molds are apparently loaded in adjacent rooms, and with a crane that moves filled molds into cooling pools next to the vats, then again to the central assembly lines. The cranes are on the same tracks as the mini-vats. In the center is a tangle of welding bots and similar machines attached to a central computer, and the central assembly line wraps around that. Four additional lines worked by human technicians connect to the center loop.

There are a number of doors, mostly on the ground level, but also on scaffolds you, by the tracks. One is labeled Research, and on that side there is a window about three floors up looking down on the factory. Another is labeled Warehouse, and the tracks go there too. Another is labeled Reactor, another is unlabled, and another is labeled Living Quarters.

Scylla says "Excellent progress. I suppose this will be as good a time as any to try out my new prototype Black Knights."


Suddenly, two humanoids in heavy black armor with black longswords appear in the hallway. Optic can detect that they are surrounded by a powerful force field, including their blades.

Nitro turns around in time to see the knight behind him, and the knight swings his sword with both hands, striking him hard and shocking him with energy damage, throwing him to the far side of the factory (1 bruise, staggered, stunned). The sword crackles with orangish energy much like the force filed on the door. The other hits Hope from behind, blasting her into the close part of the factory in a similar fashion (hp spent to void knockout, bruised and stunned instead)

The knights blink out of existence suddenly.

Not even a flesh wound!

But that still hurt. Nitro lays there and gets his bearings (Nitro stays stunned and recovers from Staggered with Regeneration)
 

Hope feels something slam into her from behind, the pain sharp and intense as she slams into another something, the breath whooshing out of her. The shock of it is enough to momentarily cause her to black out, but she somehow regains consciousness, although for the life of her, she can't figure out why. She breathes harshly, seeing stars and neon bright lights flicker on the edges of her sight.
