Four-Eyes checked the situation..2 mining drones, easy does it with a bullet, little mail drone, bullet..the 2 overhead security drones might be more tough; not to mention they're packing shotguns..frag!...And with the little I know about Ballastor, I bet the bastard told everyone WE were the strike breakers
(OOC: ok, here's the rest)
Something caught Four-Eyes' ear..damn phone ain't no good if it's over 5 inches form a mouth Then, the message was heard..martial law eh?...heh, like's that gonna change our options..
Something else caught his attention, Micro and Nina leaving the shack I hope they manage to get everything ok.
The recorded message was playing again, a playback no doubt "Ok Jakey, grab your kit...those 2 flying drones, they got shotguns, right? Probably the biggest treat around, those mining drones can be shot easy I hope...Keep an eye on the sky, I"ll take that mail drone first, that'll make our sneaking around a bit more easy. While I attract the drones attention, you get to the power supply and get everything running..just wait to get the way clear of any bots, and please don't step in any pool of water this time.." God I hope I"m right about this...
Getting outside with extreme caution, Four-Eyes moved as to get the mail drone in view. Taking good aim (2 single actions), He fires off a shot at the mail drone, timing it with the looping warning message.
(OOC: got smart goggles pugged in, and perso grip)
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6].
Second shot (at the mail drone again, or if he's destroyed at a mining drone guarding the power supply)
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
After shooting at the drones, Four-Eyes will run in the opposite direction, toward any grouping of houses (not the Troll), firing off a shot or two in the air, question of getting the bots' attention[rand=12953134411267886110245183086861044258504662067821312292399910179308]

Man I got one massive head ack, Concentrate must keep the spell going, Man I hope no drones notice us on the way over to E-weasles, Concentratate must concentrate Micro thinks to himself as he makes sure he fallows Nina closes enough to keep an eye on her at all times, Micro pulls out his Ares predetor just incase he does have to start shooting at a drone Man I Hope Not Micro does this as silently as posable knowing its there sound or smell that will give them away if anything.

No probs Oxtwo - Fryer is lurking nearby...doing things.. He is not for Reycyke yet.. Hunter is onstandby as well..
Nina an Micro slip out of the cabin making their way from Portakabin to heap of machinery towards the Troll - and from there across to the mobile homes.. a series of short hops takes you close to the 'Troll' you have not run across any droids on the way..
Behind you there are a spattering of shots - loud and hollow in the still compound.. The hubbub stops from inside the bar - faces push to the window to catch a glimpse of who is doing the shooting. The front doors open up and three orcs spill out to gawp.. two mining bots rise like Preying Mantis' displaying a variety of spinning metal tools - and the group stamps to a halt.. retreating back into the bar with the bots clattering up the steps..
Once the orcs are inside, the bots settle themselves into passive mode outside the door.
There are some bots patrolling the outside of the 'Troll'... four mining bots of different configurations peel off, clattering past your observation point, moving at a brisk walking pace - you rec that most kids could outrun them.
Nina can make an observation (please) , as Micro is maintaining concentration on the spells.
Four-Eyes is the object of their attention.. The little mail droid took one hit, but looked as though it needed a second to douse its lights, it slumps asthe two mining bots activate, rise and begin the persuit.. They are quite slow you realise as you reach the other side of the road - all you need to do is run down the side of the portakabins - turn, and they will be easy targets for a few more rounds...
Looks like more backup is on its way from the 'Troll' in the shape of another four... nothing like stirring up the nest...
Four-Eyes has got the job done up at his end, gaining the attention of the bots.
You see Jakey slide out of his cabin with a bag of tools and climb the side of the power plant onto the roof where a variety of coils, transmitters dishes and antennae sprout from. He hunkers down and begins with a wrench..
Nina - do you want to look into the windows of the 'Troll' or continue snucking around the outskirts..?

One down, 4 to go..
As Four-Eyes reached the closest group of shack, he turned around it, looking up to the flying drones overhead, since the ground ones were not that threatening just yet.
If the flying drones are ignoring him, he'll fire at the mining drones coming from the power plant, if the flying drones are starting their attack pattern, he'll take aim at the nearest one and fire
1st aim shot [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] next round, another shot at it, or at the other one if he managed to destroy the first one. 2nd aimed shot [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6]
(OOC: By" they will be easy targets for a few more rounds..." how much round are those 'few'?)[rand=9123979821377898605140920592808740300795784253749708325705137876]

Well it sounds Like Four Eyes is drawing attention away from us just hope he is on the other line if we get to call him from E-weasles place. Must Keep these Spells going no time for anything else. My head his killing me, Must Keep Spell going, Man I need a good sleep after this, Must Keep Spells going,I just hope I don't have to start shooting I don't think I could hit the broad side of a barn right now, Must Keep Spells going. Micro Thinks to himself as he keeps Nina in eyesight at all times with sweat dripping down his invisible face none can see it but Micro can feel it.

Bots are trundling past Micro and Nina drawn off by the shots, leaving them a nice little window of opportunity to nip from cover to cover around the 'Troll' on the way to E-Weasle's van. The front has two obvious bots on guard, so you chance the rear.
Nina and Micro whisper to each other about directions and speeds - it is hard for Micro to keep up and to concentrate, so the going is a little slow, but steady.
A bot at the back door fire escape, and a dumper truck looks like it is prowling in a sort of obvious way.. you sidle around the wheelie bins, at the near corner of the building, and decide to walk across the open space as quietly as possible - straight backs, pointed toes - if someone could see you they would laff, it is a little like panto! - or the child-catcher.. (pantomime - traditional comic stage show seen in countries that dont have trids)
You are able to pause and breathe at the far corner, viewing the next area for suspicious moving heaps of junk. Micro sweats copiously - the tricky part over... it should be all plain sailing .... when from behind you,
The Post-bot a small wheeled tripod with a basket for guts and small spindly arms - comes around the corner and bumps into Nina.. it seemed to click through lenses attampting to identify the obstruction.. it is confused by the seeming lack of obstruction...
Four-Eyes waits for one of the circling drones - knowing that he has a good few seconds before the trundling mining bots get close - looking for the big skeets you can ready for the next pass..
BLAM >>> BLAM>>> the first shot rocks the flying tyre, the second damages it more, sending it wobbling off towards the forest.. One more to go! and a few mining bots , when they catch up.. you can hear them closing in from the roadway.
All things concidered, as you reload, these non-combat mechanicals are easy meat - a couple of hits takes them down as there is no protective armour for their electronics or vitals.. just thin sheet steel and plas to stop lumps of rock damaging them..

Man, this is like shooting fish in a barrel..but less dumb....so one flyer down, one to go, and 6 mining bots..wow I got 2 bullets for each, ain't life grand sometimes?
After finishing reloading, Four-eyes will aim at the closest mining bot (I think it's one from the power station, yes?) and fire at it.
aim shot [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
and another shot to finsih it off, or in cae the first shot did the trick, fire at the second closest one (which, I think, should be the second bot from the power supply)
aimed shot again [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
After firing off 2 aimed shot, Four-Eyes will start running again toward another group of shacks, question of keeping a few meters between him and the bots for easy shooting[rand=1286056527076509384432283834184545345735337368416568575522748367]

Oh man I hope that drone doesn't just start shooting at random. Atleast Nina is in front of me I don't have to worry about her shooting me. Keep SPELLS Going. I hope I don't have to start shooting, Maybe Nina can do someting about the drone so I don't have to take a shot. KEEP SPELL GOING. May I got one splitting head ack, I've had worse but not much, Finals in Collage where a pain but atleast then I could crash for a week ,Keep Spell Going. Micro thinks this as he take a step to the side to get a clear line of fire to the drone, and takes aim at the drone with his Ares Preator while keeping an eye on Nina. Praying he doesn't have to shoot. Oh man I hope I don't have to shoot KEEP SPELLS GOING

Nina's ocatu intervention shuld be able to override the bot's weedy programming. Nina slumpsfor a few seconds..
its using IR - it can see us, it was confused when it hit into me as I wasnt a registered object - but I know where the programming is coming from - E-Weasle has hijacked Ballastor's comp, the curfew programme is being authenticised from there, wherever Ballastor's comp is.. I cant locate its exact position through this bot.
We should still take out E-Weasle and then shutdown all of the site bots...
Another scurry takes you to E-Weasle's camper - Nina has shown she can override these simple bots and droids as they are run by programming, a droid would be something different, she would have to fight against its internal pilot - rating of 2 generally, so unless you are sitting on top of one, you will be on 4s to overcome them... while being technically prone yourself...
Ah the camper... two mining bots outside as muscle, one post-bot to spot.. and an overhead drone on its figure of eight surveillance run....

Thank heavens I really did not want to start shooting
Micro relaxes a bit and lowers his gun and proceds to step behind Nina to follow her on there way to find E-Weasle. With that out of the way Micro lets out a sigh hoping no bots heard it.

You now have the camper van in your sights, guarded by a couple of big bots and a feeble postdroid, while overhead humms a flying tyre.... searching for curfew-breakers...
It zips away from you, heading towards the power house area, travelling fast and at long range for a pistol.. I know that Four-Eyes has been on the lookout for this - and can have a couple of shots at it (around an 11 sound about right..) it is scouting and doesnt want to follow its other brothers into the greenery...
So Micro and Nina have just the muscle bots to deal with.... then the mighty E-Weasle !

(so 11 shots..if it's ok, I"ll put this as 11 simple actions, so it's easier to count the time I"m doing) Four-Eyes reached the other group of housing, still having time to go make a pot of soycaf, his tax returns, eat, sleep and shaved before the mining drones got halfway to his new position. Damn it's good to be human He smiled as he readied himself to get a few mining drones under his belt, when the vroomishing sound of a flyer drone passes overhead Drek, it's going for Jakey!.
Putting his free arm under his shooting arm, elbow under his gun-holding elbow, He carefully aim at the flyer...aiming,..aiming..aiming. for a good 2-3 seconds, enough to get the barrel of his weapon far in front of it, so the bullet and the drone can meet.
(aimed for 4 simple action,) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] pool [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6][dice=6]
Four-Eyes fired, but he wasn't concerned about the bullet hitting his mark or not. He looked as where the mining drone where, and if still at a distance, will aim again at the drone..aiming..aiming..aiming
(still aiming for 4 simple actions) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] pool [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6][dice=6].
After his second shot, if the drone ain't scrap metal for Jakey to play with, he'll yell out "JAKEEEYYYYYYY!! FLYER DRONE GOING STRAIGHT AT YOU!! SHOOT IT DOWWWN!! SHOOT IT DOWWWWWWWWN!!" Four-Eyes will then make a mad dash to the power supply, evading the ming drones, hoping Jakey did heard him, at or the very least kept his eyes looking around him around sometimes than only in his work.
quickness for running (if need be of course) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][rand=90560422590709233513292225985441629268689213011013818949616588736]

Another of my little beauties is heading for the greenery !
Aireal surveillance is removed. Four-Eyes turns on the mining bots trundling down the road towards him...
Make it right... four against one.. odd in your favour..
Four-Eyes swings around the corner of the cabin, guns holstered, into full view of the mining bots - they adjust course towards you. four steps into the middle of the rough dirt road and a quater turn to face them
Jakey spots you and yells out Look out Four-Eyes - behind you..
The high whine of the small bot racing over the muddy ground has already given it away.. a leisurly turn to put two shots into the drive stops the small bot dead in its tracks..
As if realising the ambush has gone awry the mining bots fan out a little in front of you - now at long range, you know they will take two full turns to reach you...... two shells used.. four bots, sun's behind you, guns back in the holster....your fingers stretch........
