Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM_Matt" data-source="post: 3934466" data-attributes="member: 1213">Nightweaver throws a globe of darkness over the unconcious Aegis agent, "You worry about the robots, Nitro I'll...get her outside" she calls, moving towards the darkness as fast as her exhausted body will take her.The knight appears in the computer room, and attacks Optic, but Optic manages to keep hacking (bruise...yay toughness-shifted regenerators)Shayuri can't move Hope from the darkness (since Nightweaver needs it to TP out), but she CAN TK Nightweaver the rest of the way over to the darkened area, sending Nightweaver gently flying through the air and giving her a soft landing.(I assume she'll tp somewhere with Hope this round?)Nitro actually has to break free of the snare to use a shockwave, and he does, prying the crane's jaws over and snapping them, then jumping onto the ground before it reached its destination and dumped him in a cauldron  full of molten metal.  He fails to bluff the robot (rolled a 1 vs rolled a 20!). Ignoring the battle raging around her, the new super runs to the door marked "Reactor," actually phasing through it.  Severely injured an half-crazed, Shooting Star manages to rise and initiate the most powerful and controlled plasma attack she as ever performed.  Many dozens of plasma balls appear around her and streak towards numerous targets "BADROBOTS!" she screams.The plasma barrage destroys all seven robots, the whole mess of welding bots that had been troubling Nitro, wrecks the track in several places, and severely damages the computer system in the center of the room.The room cleared of threats, other than one more blinking knight, everyone momentarily breathes a sigh of relief...and then the shooting starts, as the windows coming from the research lab explode into shards of glass.   Normals from the research lab (with possibly a few security bots mixed in), equipped with targeting headband+monocle setups and shotguns and rifles, come out from cover and pepper the floor with slugs and bullets, from all three floors, and the door swings open.  It seems that several are making a run for the warehouse, firing as they go.  There are well over a dozen shooters, even twenty perhaps.(I assume that Hope and Nightweaver have jumped to the hallway or somewhere else safe, and they cant hit Optic in the other room, and most can't hit Viridian in the front of the hallway, so mainly Shooting Star and Nitro will take the brunt.  Optic did not see them with x-ray vision because they set themselves up when he was already hacking in the other room)Viridian sees two rifle flashes on the third floor, and sees a bullet hit the floor near her.  The other one hits her in the shoulder and brings her down (1 injury, bruise, stun...missed by exactly 5)Star is already reeling when bullets rush past her and two big shotgun slugs and a bullet hit her in the back. (injury/bruise for the first one, autohp to reroll  avoid Dying result from the second, but still gets another injury/bruise, yet another injury/bruise from the last one)Many shots bounce off Nitro or miss him altogether, but one slug hits him square in the chest (crit, hit, stunned, staggered) and takes him down.As some run and shoot, a pair in the middle of the group seem to be carrying a large metal cube, each then firing a pistol at Star with their extra hand.  Both miss.The facility's power suddenly goes down and it moves to backup power.  Scylla says to Optic "Thanks to your new friend, you will be able to defeat me, but you will never get out of here alive.  She has altered the nuclear reaction in my reactor and destroyed the safety devices.  Meltdown is imminent."Optic, already overpowering Scylla due to direct physical access to her core, can indeed take near-full control of the system now, and is finding the useful information, downloading as much useful stuff as he can fit into his suit's storage.Meanwhile, Wren blasts the central railgun, as missiles from the plane's two missile tubes destroy the other two.  Topside is clear.</blockquote>
