Opening the hatch to the area marked D1 shows you a scene of what appears to have been a battle between the automated weapons turret of the security system (like the one that attacked you previously) and what appears to be a humanoid robot, its "skin" a glistening metal.  The robot stands at the far end of the room, apparently unconcerned, as though it has won its battle against the turret.  It does not seem to see you.  Likewise, the turrent does not turn toward you.

The turret laser has burned away the security door leading to the tunnel (D2), and the airlock hatches at the far end.  It appears to have also damaged the shuttle there (D3).

You are not sure if the turret works, but the robot apparently saw movement and is turning to look and examine the movement in your direction.  It is unarmed.  (It stands one square northeast of the "D1" square.)

Without moving from his position, Yag will look toward the robot and see if he can identify its type.

It is a type of security robot.

It sees Yag looking at it and starts toward you.  Right as it hits the center area of the floor, it dives down.  Just then, the turret starts shooting forward.  You see what has happened.  The robot has disabled the turret so that it can only face forward and cannot pivot, so it is easier (though still difficult) to dodge.

The robot also has vocal capability.  It says to you, "Wait there!" as it approaches.

Surprised to hear the robot talk to him, Yag holds his position. He surreptitiously fishes in his pockets for his robcomkit tools, ready to try to disable the robot at a moment's notice.

To the rest of the party he whispers: "Be ready! If that robot threatens, I need a couple of you to jump on it and hold it down until I can disable it!"

Then he waits for the robot to arrive.

Ospra stands behind Yag, ready to help out.  "We are friends," she says.

Sergi makes sure he isn't pointing his rifle at the approaching Bot, but also makes sure he can do so in a hurry.

"Now what?!!!"

With his hand uneasily near his holstered laser pistol the doctor stays to the back of the group hoping that perhaps the approaching robot is not afflicted with whatever corruption has spread throughout the Jetsum.

Desiraye will step in front of Yagrith and Doc with her laser rifle held at the low-ready.

Seeing the other draw their weapons, Kuurn feels compelled to agree with Yagrith.

"If it does attack," he whispers as he adopts a fighting stance, "lets try not to blow it to pieces, Yagrith might be able to figure whats going on here if he can pick it apart."

The robot approaches, and you are unsure as to its intent.  That unsurety passes as soon as the robot is within arm's length of Desiraye.  It leaps at her, attempting to wrestle her!  It is obviously trying to subdue her, not to kill her.

Just as it grabs at her, Desiraye gets a great shot in, but it is deflected by the outreaching arms of the robot, which make her shot hit its leg.

Its leg is partially crippled, but it also successfully grabs Desiraye in a lock just as everyone is raising their weapons.  Desiraye realizes, too late, that the robot has electrified dermal plating.  As electricity flows through her body, Desiraye is stunned into inaction and unable to resist.

The robot begins pulling her back away from the airlock.

Ospra jumps in and tries to extract Desiraye by wrestling the robot herself.

Being as she is now stunned, she will just try to resist the best she can without shooting, even dropping her rifle and/or kicking at the robot.

"I knew this gauss screen would come in handy!" yells Yag as he prepares to leap at the robot. "Everyone else be careful -- that electrical charge looks like it packs a whallop."

Yag attempts to get into battle rage and fails, but nevertheless leaps onto the robot hoping to tackle it and free Desi. He hopes his gauss screen protects him from the stunning attack.

16:13, Today: Yagrith rolled 41 using 1d100. Yag wrestle attempt.

"Bah! Damn thing!" curses Kuurn as he withdraws his vibroknife and powers it on. He takes a swing at the robot but misses wildly, unprepared as he was without his weapon ready.

19:55, Today: Kuurn rolled 76 using 1d100. vibroknife attack (58% to hit, 2d10 dmg).

Ospra jumps in and is hit by the electrical current. The Osakar flaps about and falls to the floor.

Yag makes a great wrestling attempt, freeing Desiraye, who falls to the floor.

Unfortunately for Yag, the robot also makes a great roll, grabbing Yag in a full nelson and continuing to pull him backward.  It is immediately obvious what the robot is doing because you are so close.  It is pulling Yag into the line of fire of the turret.

The turret, unable to vary much from firing forward, aims at Yag when Yag gets pulled in its narrow range...and fires!

Kuurn misses wildly and will have to brave the turret's fire if he goes in close.

Desiraye, though on the floor, recovers from her stun.  Yag, with the gauss screen, does not have any stunning blow against him but will have to get out of the robot's grip.  Ospra also is not stunned.

Luckily, the turret's fire goes over Yag's head...and just misses the robot too.

Yag tries to break free of the robot with his best wrestling move, hoping to then move back toward the rest of the group. "Shoot the thing!" he yelps.

13:41, Today: Yagrith rolled 5 using 1d100. Yag attempts to break free.

"Take out that damn turret!" cries Kuurn as he holsters his vibroknife and draws his automatic pistol. He levels it at the turret and fires of a burst of rounds with deadly accuracy.

21:56, Today: Kuurn rolled 24 using 1d100. Burst fire at turret (60%, 5d10 dmg)

Ospra shakes herself off, stands up, and likewise fires at the turret.

S'Krllk decides to stop being useless and tries to run past the robot, to get to and disable the turret.

Sergi take aim at the turret and opens fire.

Desiraye is going to reach down and pick up her laser rifle and then turn on her Albedo Screen while she looks to return fire (next round) on the laser turret or the robot, as needed.
