trans_9 | System Shock - Fight the Power!

Gods could be too arrogant. Such was the case of SHODAN, who had turned the Pods into a nightmarish zone where she could freely amuse herself and torture those that had come here.

But arrogance breeds pride which breeds mistakes. Instead of killing everyone off, she had decided to do this more slowly – watch them suffer in a slow agony, and, therefore had not expected them to fight back.

It had been a lucky shot, really, one in a million, But one of the people present that day had accidentally shot a tiny, insignificant object. A tiny little drone, that, once it had been the source of the power damper, had fallen. The tables were turned, and the goddess had been forced to retreat from the pods.

Now she was on a panicked mode, not only because some of the other people on the ship had managed to work their way into her system files, using another AI to send pointless images and sounds to her, distracting her from her task, but they knew how they could defeat her and gain their powers back.

It didn't take long for the message to be sent out, as the word quickly spread. Find the tiny little creatures, and shoot them down. SHODAN couldn't work their shields properly and once they were found, it was only a short matter of time before the powers returned to an area.

It would take time, but, finally, the tide of the battle was turning on the side of the crewmen and women. In vain, she was throwing her all; even more strange robot creatures, attacking in packs, but with hope on their side, they could win this...

[OOC - OKay go for it! NPC players, feel free to NPC as many robots as you like. Players, once your powers return, feel free to make as much scrap metal as you like, no need to have people NPC for you if you just want to write tags of them kicking ass.]

"Can't say I do," Zouichi said. "But robots it is." He veered off toward an upcoming square, where a crowd of Terminators was already gathered and on the move, looking for their next target.

"I did, too," he said of the pods. His face looked grim. "She won't get away with it."

"You bet she won't." There was no trace of a smile on Allenby's face--every part of her was locked into a grim determination to rip apart everything associated with that evil computer.

When she saw the Terminators, she tucked the beam ribbon into her belt and raised herself slightly, raising a hand above her head. "NOBEL SUPERBALL!" The brilliant green energy exploded from her hand as she flung it out, rocketing towards the robots.

That was the ticket, Allenby. Zouichi pulled his gun, firing it into the crowd as Allenby's attack smashed into their new opponents. These damn Terminators were a lot tougher than some of the other robots, but that didn't mean they were invincible -- not be a long shot.

"What do you think they're all clustered around here for?"
