[Trespassers IC] Enter The Orcish Gungeon: Out of the Frying Barrier, and into the Firing Squad.

[Hal Henderics]

  As an Orc, a Robot, and a lady IN a Robot fire high capacity weaponry into the Ammunition Manufacturing room, something happens, a flash of bright light that sends everyone sprawling back onto the ground, Even Alexandria is sent flying like a child wearing cardboard from the gravity waves. A horrible noise erupts from the room as reality itself collapses like a glass floor, the room twists, and a naked black hole begins stretching light towards itself like a greedy hand, grasping at all warmth and light, before exploding violently, sending colorful everythingness across the walls, which stretch and grow, the door is ripped off it's hinges, then it grows back, then it's ripped off again, slightly differently, then it grows back again, this repeats the entire time the room is being distorted.

 

Anyone looking inside at this point would see the mortal eye of god collapsing in on itself into neverending one-ness.

 

Eventually, this ends, and the door slams shut.  Now, it seems, the door has transformed itself into a door of a different aesthetic, one shaped like a stylized bullet, brown on top, with a copper shell below.

 

It smells like Ozone and Sulfur, and the smell does not seem to be ceasing any time soon.

"Such wonderful new experiences!" Alexandria exclaims, rising to her feet, "I did not think it was possible for me to be safely thrown about like that.  Quite bracing.  Should be an interesting place to explore.  Let's go have a look around, shall we?"  

 

Alexandria attempts to open the door.

The Door opens, and then the top of the door promptly pops, firing a flat bullet into the ceiling, where the full metal Jacket embeds itself.

 

Inside, A wide open room seems to beacon.  It is made from shiny metal tiles, shaped like hexagons.  Only one path forward exists, it too is shaped like a Bullet.

 

In the room, (15, 2) A robot of some kind seems to be grazing, slowly attempting to pull a tile out of the floor with it's teeth.  It is quadrupedal, and has a Brain in a jar as it's primary source of thinking.  It has two humps on it's back, like that of a camel, only these are cubic, and packed with Ammunition and Turrets instead of water for a long journey.

 

While it is benign, it's armaments seem touchy at best, turning rapidly, and shakily as it moves.

 

Also in the room is a bench with some pliers and vice grips on it, off to the right side.

 

To the left, a Large Cannon juts from the wall, pretending it isn't an oddity.  It is arranged in such a way that it points towards the CAM16L.

 

The room is faintly lit with some rusty, but glowing metal plates that are riveted to the walls in odd places.

[Sutoratosu]

"This is...." Tesla looked around the room, through the violet tinted, shining eyes of her mech, What caught her attention most were the mechanical entity in the middle of the area, especially the brain in a jar. Even more interesting was the massive cannon embedded at the wall and the rock bench on the opposite side of the room from it...those glowing plates though... she might have to harvest a few while they were down here "Well, we don't definitely don't have anything as crazy as this back home. And I'm kinda glad, not gonna lie..."

 

With that said, she proceeded to stay where she was and Scan the grazing robot using her Mech's Sensor array, trying to obtain any information she could about it's specifications, capabilities, functions, etc.

Tesla's Scan completes, with adequate results.  It seems to be a well crafted machine, whose only purpose is to have a cannon on top of it, and act like an Aptonoth, some kind of herbivorous animal.

 

[Sutoratosu]

"Whoever built this knew what they were doing," the woman relayed as she turned her sights on the cannon jutting out of the wall, aimed at the entity for whatever reason "Even though it's piss weak and the scans show that its most likely harmless. The cannon on it's back might as well be for show really. Anyways... enough standing around, it's time to see what else this place has to offer."

 

And with that said... a whirring hum could be heard, as suddenly a massive wave of violet electricity surged over her armor and poured forth into the room, expanding at blinding speeds and heading right for the robotic lifeform...

 

Tesla Scans the Cannon embedded in the wall

She also activates the Tesla Pulse effect on her Tesla Spheres, firing an EMP at the Aptonoth with the intent to disable it non-lethally

Tesla Spheres
Description: A series of several dozen small, spherical constructs which buzz with a constant hum, utilizing a bit of Favor, advanced knowledge of electromagnetism, and the salvaged components from some broken droids. They each transmit specialized EMFs which are designed to amplify one another, and under the right configurations can create powerful electrical currents that can be used to directly power a vast myriad of devices, without the need for wires or complex hookups… in other words, these things are the equivalent to wireless energy.
Type: [Machine Item] Bauble
Mods:
-Sentry Droid Scrap x3
Minimum Stats: 1 Str, 1 Syn
Weight: 3
SYN/ Int Threshold/Bonus:
-[5 Int] Tesla Pulse: [Active. User is able to perform a check of Syn vs Con on a group of up to  three Mechanical Enemies. If the targets fail, they suffer an Init penalty equal to the User’s Syn. 2 CD]
-[10 Int] adds Electrocution status [dealing Syn/2 electrical damage for 1 turn] to Tesla Pulse, in addition to the init penalty 
Qualities:
-Sentry: [+1 Init per 2 levels](2)
-Wireless Energy: [+1 Syn per 2 levels](2)

Blasting the creature, it falls to the ground paralyzed.  It's cannon fires, hitting Telsa for (Roll) Zero damage...

 

The Cannon in the wall, under intense Scrutiny, seems to serve no purpose?

[Sutoratosu]

"Ha!" Tesla laughed as the single cannon round pinged harmlessly off her mech and landed somewhere off in the distance. Silently, she hovered over to the downed Robot, and once she was close enough the front section of her mech split and opened with a great torrent of hissing vapor. The young vigilante tinkerer dropped down right near the Robots head, taking out her head and going to work immediately. The Mech itself hummed as it hovered nearby idly, awaiting it's pilot to return. She had no fear of potential bodily harm, for the exact same reason she had no fear when she'd repaired Hiroki in Tempest; so long as one's Mech was still actively manifested into reality, they were protected by the Favor it was produced from. Attacks against her exposed body would do no more than pass through harmlessly- she would feel some degree of pain if struck, of course, but nothing permanent would be inflicted, in terms of injury.

 

"Well, looks like the scans weren't kidding when they said it was harmless. Come on in, you guys! That Cannon on the wall? It does jack, from the looks of it, probably just there for decoration"

 

Tesla removes the head of the Robot Aptonoth, she then dismantles the body for Scrap Material

 

[Hal Henderics]

Doing so, Tesla recieves the Robot Aptonoth head and Scrap Material of choice.

[DragonRage]

"Hm.  How interesting.  Perhaps a closer examination will reveal a purpose if one exists?  Or if nothing else, it could be repurposed as scrap or spare parts."  Alexandria attempts to grab the cannon and pull it off the wall.
