[FFRP] The Black City...

[Zoey]

"Well, it would help to if you gave some ideas aswell" said Caine a bit annoyed.

[Harri-chan]

The lights of her goggles searched around the frame of the door after finding it locked. She swept her cloak aside slightly, and looked down at the little spheres strapped to her leather bodysuit. After the battle with the robot and then breaking into the safe, she didn't have many left, but it was no good having a stock of the little explosives if she was stuck inside the door. One was placed on each of the doors two hinges, turning green as she fitted them, leaving only three more as she stepped back to the other side of the room, and crouched down behind the desk as the little explosives turned red and went off!

Nora led Jack quietly through a humming hall of flashing monitors that showed various edges of the city. They eventually ended up at a very large monitor behind a power core. The green tendrils of energy snaked up and down the power core. Nora walked to a console in the back and began ticking at the keyboard, "Keep me covered."

Damian laughed, "You're the one with the initiative. We can't go by sea, the satellite lasers will kill us, there's no rooftops to jump from, and we have no helicopter to airdrop. Your sewer idea has the most merit, I was just saying it looked eerie and I have no idea what's down there."

***

The door blew open. As it did, dust fell from the ceiling and the open portal revealed a long hallway with similar rooms all the way down it (going left and right).

[Knight Errant]

Jack nods and scans the room, he warms up his gun, the barrels spinning rapidly as he waits for someone or something to look at them wrong.

[Harri-chan]

The leather-clad girl moved through the hole she'd blown in the wall, a pistol in each hand as she headed down the corridor. With her supply of explosives low, she hoped the previous occupants hadn't bothered to lock every single door before disappearing. Coming to the first one in the right, she tried opening it...

[Zoey]

Caine face palms with a bit of frustration. "You should've told me that earlier" he says turning around and rubbing his neck. "Fine, then lets go through the sewers then".

[Brnin8r]

The foreboding sound of a siren would tell Jack that the complex had caught on to their hacking. The marching of metal feet could be heard along the catwalks and down the hall. Eventually several metal soldiers similar to the one that had escorted them in the first place began to charge in, their hand lasers firing at Jack.

***

As she opened it, a loud bang echoed around the room and the woman would feel a sharp pain in her shoulder as the bullet grazed just above her bone. "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!!" a frantic voice shouted.

***

Damian smiled in amusement at Caine's frustrations before picking up a very small looking pistol and a shotgun that had obviously been modified. "Taking the truck I guess?"

[Knight Errant]

Jack begins unloading rounds at the robots!

[Harri-chan]

She started to push away from the door frame, but not quick enough. The bullet cut through the leather over her shoulder, sending a little splatter of blood into the air as she fell back, the lights cutting out on her suit as she hit the floor, one of the pistols landing beside her, the one that had been on the same side she'd got hit. Laying on her back, she leaned her head forward, squinting into the darkness and aiming the pistol in her left hand.

"Are you the police?", came a soft, female voice.

[Zoey]

"Unless you wanna do exercise and walk" replied Caine sarcasticly, as he waited for Damian to get ready.

[Brnin8r]

The robots sent to quell the disturbance were cut down like so much grass. The armor piercing rounds melted their way practically through the mass of solider-bots, detroying the primary parts within. After almost a minute of constant waves, it stopped and now Jack and Nora had a pile of robots blocking the hall that was about as tall as Jack's shoulders.

***

Damian laughed, "You're almost funny if I think hard enough." he sarcastically replied as he got in the truck.

***

There was a long pause, then a stuttered reply to the woman's question, "Y-you robots w-won't fool me! I'm not t-telling you anyth-thing!"

[Harri-chan]

She winced, bringing a hand up to her shoulder, closing her hand over the bullet wound, keeping the lights out on her suit still. Slowly, she sat herself up, leaning against the frame of the open door, "I'm not a damn robot... I'm here to try and figure out what the heck happened to this place... ".

She leaned forward, pulling the gloved hand from her shoulder, and then smeared a trail of blood across the floor infront of her before turning the lights on her gloves on to illuminate it. "See this? Blood... you shot me, and I'm bleeding... do robots bleed?!".

[Knight Errant]

Jack grins. "Instant barricade! Just add heap of f***ed up robots!" He sprays off some rounds to a twitching robot and another who is trying to climb over the pile.

[Zoey]

Caine got inside the truck aswell. "Hey, can't kill a guy for trying" he replied, making sure his seatbelt was well tied as he knew the horrors of Damian's driving, but he did know the city better than himself.

[Brnin8r]

Nora paused, a whirring noise in her head, and then she began to laugh. "I get it." she said, her voice almost detached from her laughter, "I remember a commercial like that." After a long while of hacking a loud computer voice echoed in the chamber. "North 31 defense battery disengaged. Automatic restart in 12 hours."

***

Damian pressed a button to open the garage, "All right. I just want you to know that I think you're crazy." Then he pushed his foot to the gas and the two tore out of the garage like a bat out of hell. "Ok, the nearest sewer entrance is just a couple miles deeper into the city, I'll need you on your toes just in case we have uninvited guests."

***

The voice stuttered, "What if you're...what if you're a new...robot?" he said almost unsure of what he said as it came out of his mouth.
