Frontiers and Pioneers (sci-fi, NSFW(violence,possible teases), robots)

@NyantaStarhunt  
following the path further Nyanta would find the repair facilities had beens tripped for parts, an entire fabricator bank apparently ripped away and taken.
 
another reptiloid, this one armed, laid destroyed at the site it used to be.

@Cerebrate  
he looks at the weapon and takes it Hmm i am thinking there is smart life here

@NyantaStarhunt  
Amy: “smart enough to know what a fabricator is good for, and how to transport it in any case… say have you encountered any insectoid units?”

@Cerebrate  
No not yet in my life

@NyantaStarhunt  
“weird there are scarab bots all over our hangar deck. but more to the point a significant number were tasked with the heavy lifting on the first wave. those are driven by a reptiloid overseer or a server hub… with the reptiloids being attacked and the servers gone they may have been hijacked.”

@Cerebrate  
he nods Alright
 
he looks around for more clues

@NyantaStarhunt  
nothing else after the fabricator they apparently lost interest in the workshop.
 
Amy: “nothing else to do here, got a new waypoint for you to check out, i think it’s Imos’ emergency signal.”

@Cerebrate  
he nods i will head out at once

@NyantaStarhunt  
what he finds are a few scaffoldings suspended between rock spires.
 
“they landed in a pretty cliffy environment, but that alone would not have stopped them… there’s a contact ahead of you.”
 
sure enough a beetlebot about the size of a car was gnawing into the rocks.

@Cerebrate  
he watches and chuckles cute

@NyantaStarhunt  
it stops and turns towards the cat, sounding aggravated as its’ rock grinder jaws whirr to life.
 
Amy: “umm… i don’t think he appreciated that…”

@Cerebrate  
Oh my apologies i meant handsome of course!
 
throws his cigar away and puts a psw on the handle of the longsword

@NyantaStarhunt  
it screeches and charges at him.

@Cerebrate  
he gets into a stance and draws his blade OH THE THRILL OF A FIGHT!

@NyantaStarhunt  
“that front is a grinder that will turn you to mincemeat. get at its sides!”

@Cerebrate  
he nods got it.
 
as it charges at him he waits using the new legs to dash ti the side, his blade as it leaves it sheath hums toclife with cackle of electricity and energy he slams it down onto the side of it

@NyantaStarhunt  
said dash wound up more a jump but it had good effect as the grinders screeched over a steel beam instead of his body.
 
Amy: “beetlebots eat rocks like butter, their head and back are heavily armored, but the underbelly is covered in sensors and will emergency shut down if they are damaged.”

@Cerebrate  
he laughs at the sudden jump and nods Yep

@NyantaStarhunt  
it turned to glare at him again, and gave another screech.

@Cerebrate  
his ears lay back and then he hisses at it. He looks around the room for an advantage to get it to flip

he smirked and ran for them
 
Time for a little bit of a boom

@NyantaStarhunt  
(oops. dropped the notification there.)
 
the beetle charged again, seems it was gonna do like a bull and rush him the whole time.

@Cerebrate  
he laughed and ran to the charges dodging the mighty beetle looking to see if the detonator was there

@NyantaStarhunt  
the packs were there wihtout wires, but the charges were of a recent generation that could be linked to any comms equipment.
 
AMy: “jade will turn the ones you pick up into mines, just let beetle run onto them and he’ll be flipped over.”
