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.]

Maxine backs up, too, quick steps away to give the robot space. Hoping a lot that it'll work. She focuses her wind to try and slow down their opponents, to buy them a little bit more time. Her head is pounding but if this works then they're almost there.

The droid revs to life and opens fire on its fellow droids. Unfortunately for the droids, they're working off of heat sensors to acquire their targets, and are completely unequipped against one of their own. It doesn't matter that Punchy didn't have time t rewrite most of the motor controls; all that matters is that it's firing at everything in the droids' general direction.

When the firing ends, Billy, Maxine and Punchy are still standing in the midst of the carnage of the droids. Their reprogrammed droid stumbles a bit and continues to try and crawl forward towards the sounds of more combat.

Punchy pumps his fist in the air. "That. Was. Bomb."

He grabs Maxine, spins her around, dips her and plants a big kiss on her. And, on second thought, decides he probably doesn't need to celebrate the same way on Billy.

Billy appreciates the consideration, really. He politely averts his eyes and advances on the carnage, studying and salvaging what he can. Good thing there are spare gloves lying around in just the right spot.

"Thanks," he says, turning around when he suspects it's safe to. "You two worked perfectly."

Fortunately, Maxine is a lot more receptive to this form of celebration. She barely has time to even let out a happy noise that it worked before she's in Punchy's arms and kissing him back. And the spinning and dipping her thing certainly worked its charms.

Maxine laughs happily once the kiss is broken and Billy is speaking to them. Though she doesn't let go of Punchy, even if she does blush. "Well, I mostly just tried to buy time. Really it was you and Punchy who worked so well. That was amazing, both of you. If we could do it here, too, maybe it can replicated, and we can help more people with that..."

It's fine that Maxine keeps holding on, because Punchy's totally sniffing her hair.

"Yeah, that was pretty aces." He's preening just a little, especially with a compliment from the boss man. "Now let's end up downtime and get on the field again, whoop more robot ass, a'ight?"
