Best Gadget Buddies [Open]

[morphitudinous]

There was only one destination in mind when the war started: work. Billy had dashed down to the transportation tubes, arriving on the first floor when he'd hit a snag: a robot swarm already assaulting the Med Bay and Special Weapons. But that wouldn't stop him: his coworkers and friends could be there, and the lab could easily hold the key to fighting back. He'd struggled and shoved his way through, roughed up very well by the time he crossed the threshold of his lab.

The hordes were closing in. Only his guns and a narrow doorway stood between Billy and death, and so far it seemed that death was gaining the upper hand. Would there ever be time to cobble together a better solution or escape? He doubted it. Not unless help arrived for them.

(ooc: Defend the laboratory? Your characters can be trapped with Billy rigging together some kind of defense system or trying to get through to him. If it gets bad, though, they might all have to escape and blow up the tech...)

"Why won't you stay down?!" Ruff roared at a particularly stubborn group of bots who kept trying to get back onto their feet. Finally Ruffnut began knocking the heads with her spear trying to take them clean off, or failing that bring her heavy shield down ontop of them. But with her injury the spear was getting harder to swing each time. Her muscles already burned begging her for rest.

But she fought on, regardless of the price.

Hana turned his head to look over when he heard Ruffnut yell.

Big mistake.

You shouldn't look away in a fight.

There was a sudden pain in the back of his leg and he felt it give way.

The stench of charred flesh made him gag as he pushed himself up off the floor.

One of the bot's had shot him when his back was turned, but he resisted looking at the wound and instead moved to pay the machine man back.

"Back it up!" Hit Girl yelled to Hana, taking the robot out. Dan it all and damn this fucking leg! She didn't need any more reminders that she was just a fucking human!

And now Hana got hit too: that was just about the last thing that needed to happen. Her leg was in pain, but his was actually hurt: she couldn't allow him to face this all with his actually BURNED.
