Vatican [Open]

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

Once Atom had read the initial comm post, he headed over to the closest place where he thought people would be -- the Vatican, once converted into a fortress against outside attack. It had since been mostly restored to its original state, but some fortifications still remained -- hopefully, some food and supplies, too. He'd heard people had used it as a safe area before, so maybe some of them would head there now. As he touched down within its limits, his rocket boosters kicked off. His footsteps seemed to echo through the tall construction as he walked along the paved stone... but for now, he seemed to be alone, in the midst of dead silence.

Or was he?

"Hello?" he called. "Is anyone there? Does anyone need help?"

[Robutts will be forthcoming 83. I'll bring some Terminators, but if anyone else could NPC some other robots, that'd be great!

P.S. I will be waiting for more people to tag in before I add robots.]

Grif twisted to set both shoulders against the wall, slump down it a bit, and just lean. (Good job scraping the paint, Grif.)

"Look. That's awesome and all but right now this is just facts. If you're not with them then we're cool. Before we do anything like talking to psychotic computer bitches we need to make sure nothing is going to stab us in the face with a laser."

For a long moment, Atom just looked at him without speaking. Then he turned away, looking back toward the entrance.

"You go hide," he said. "I'll protect this place."

"Dude. By yourself? No way." He straightened up.

The truth was, Atom didn't really think Grif could help much. In fact, Grif, being human, was liable to get injured, which was something Atom wanted to avoid even if Grif was a big mean jerk >8(

"I'll be fine."

Grif exhaled heavily. "Look, ordinarily I'd be all over somebody else doing all the work? But..."

He was a kid. Or at least, he looked like a kid. Grif was the king of the lazy jackasses, but even he had a few things he had to put his foot down on.

"You can't be in two places at once," he lied. "And besides, I know my way around."

Atom shook his head. "Then you should use that knowledge to escape. I'm sure the others will need someone like you alive." With that, he flew himself upward to the roof of one of the nearby buildings, looking out for any approaching robots.

Sorry, Grif. You just don't look like a very reliable guy.
