Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Well, now that's a bit better... well, onward and upward!

Jenn, spirits buoyed by having actual pants in addition to the lab coat, moves on, further down the hallway.

(Move South)

Jamie moves down the hallway, noting strange paintings on the walls. The hallway continues to the south.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie, curious by nature, picks a painting at random for closer inspection before moving on.

(Look at a painting, then continue south if nothing attacks. >.>)

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Looking at the painting, she notices that there is a shelf behind it, after a closer examination, she finds a light bulb for her flashlight. Trying it out, she discovers that it works again.

(You can use the flashlight again, you can also use it as a club but you risk breaking it again)

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

That was almost suspiciously fortuitous. Well, never look a gift horse in the mouth. Hrm... unless you don't want it to throw you off, or if you plan to sell it...

After reconsidering her aphorisms, Jamie shines the restored light south before resuming her interrupted trek.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Near the limit of her light beam she can make out a door to her south.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

So... apparently this hallway doesn't connect to any of the other stairwells. Damn. Well, that door is as good as any to try, I guess...

Jamie continues south, intending to try the door if no other alternatives present themselves by that point.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie approaches the door. But before she has the opportunity to open it, a strange metal contraption rolls down the hallway behind her. A robot! It looks almost like a tank, but instead of having a turret, it has several grabbers and all sort of strange attachments. She can't figure out what most of them are, but she can guess. The robot rolls toward her, then pauses for a moment, a single light blinking red on the front.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie takes one good look at the robot, covered in mechanical contraptions whose uses she did not really care to discover.

I wonder if any of those are used for opening doors?

Jamie takes advantage of the brief pause in the robot's advance to try to dart through the door in front of her, hoping to close it between herself and the robot, and then hoping that it further can't open doors.

(Hrm... how would I actually fight this thing without using the flashlight or hurting myself? I mean, fists against metal things... well you might bend some of the grabbing arms, but you're also going to hurt yourself in the process)

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie turns and runs to the door about 10 feet away. Whe makes it about half way before she hears a thump sound and immediately thereafter falls to the ground. Looking around, she realized that the robot has shot some sort of rope that has tangles her legs up. Quickly untangling the rope she gets them undone just in time to have the robot towering over her.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Well... this is a very well prepared robot.

Jamie decides, as she stands up, that there must be some weak point - some flimsy arm she could bend such that none of the other devices work or some exposed circuitry she could break without shocking herself or best of all an 'off switch' - that she can attack. She rapidly tries to identify any such weaknesses and then to attack, sparing her flashlight for the moment in the hopes that it won't be needed.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

While Jamie studies the robot for a weak spot to attack it, the robot turns around and travels away from Jamie at a slight angle. Jamie notices what looks like a loose panel on the robot's backside. Wondering what that could be, she doesn't notice that the robot launched another barrage at her until it is too late. She is hit with what appears to be a large rubber slug in the abdomen, causing her to fall to the ground yet again. This time she does not immediately get up. The robot holds it's ground about 5 feet away.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Ugh, that one hurt... have to reach that panel...

Jamie got back up as quickly as she could and tried to steal past the robot in order to reach that loose panel and damage it in any way she could... preferably without getting knocked unconscious by a rubber bullet.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

She lunges at the robot's exposed rear panel, but the robot is surprisingly maneuverable. She flies harmlessly past it, landing again on the floor. Sitting back up, she turns to see the robot facing her again. It seems to be playing with Jamie and not outright attacking, yet...

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

"What the hell do you want! I know someone's controlling this thing!"

Jamie tries for the attack again, hoping that her improved knowledge of its maneuverability would let her overcome it for at least the time it took to disable.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie again leaps at the back of the robot, trying to grab the loose panel. This time she is successful, pulling several wires out with the panel. As she stands behind the robot with the panel in hand, she sees that the robot it moving much more frantically now. After a few moments it turns 180 and charges Jamie.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie looks at the suddenly frantic-looking robot and again tries to flee through the door to the south, hoping she's done enough damage to stop it following her.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

This time Jamie is able to escape through the door to her south as she closes the door behind her she immediately hears a click and the door locks behind her. Spinning around to face the room she is now locked in, she is shocked to see that she is in the next stairwell! Her joy is short lived, however, when she hears the mechanical sounds of more robot's coming from the top of the stairs, when they round the corner, she sees two robots that appear to be spiders about 2 feet tall. They have similar contraptions on them and both appear to have spotted Jamie.

(For combat purposes two enemies will be treated as one. You can only attack one and only one of them can attack you per turn. The two is just for storytelling purposes)

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Well, I guess I found their robotics center area... and these ones look a little more manageable then the big one outside. Oh, and while I'm here...

"What the hell is wrong with you! Why are you doing this to me!"

Jamie, certain that at least in this area if not in every room someone was watching her, tries to get some answers. In the mean time... well these robots had to be dealt with.

To that end, Jamie decided that something two feet high was the perfect target for a good solid kicking. She pulled her lab-coat out of the way and tried to send the nearest spider flying at high speed into the wall, hoping to get this over with quickly.

Re: Jamie (thetwo)

Jamie swings, but the nearest robot deflects her leg farther upward than she was expecting, causing her to come crashing down on her back. Before she can get back up on her feet, the first robot limbs over her lower legs and wraps its legs around hers, immobilizing them. The heavy robot begins to deploy several apparatuses from it's top "work deck" while the other robot moves over close to Jamie's chest.
