Micro thinks Nina should be able to deal with these bots the same way as the other's but just to see what he is up against Micro dicided to give a preception test to see what kind of fire power these bots are packing. It may not work because I still got to keep my spells going but doesn't hurt to try (preception test if needed Note +6 to TN) int =6 [dice=6] [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Oh well I don't think I noticed anything but doesn't hurt. Well if Nina has troubles hacking these bots I may have to start shooting I hope not I don't think I'll be able to hit much but we have to deal with them some way I don't think they are going to let us open the door and walk in.[rand=7412283277614818886568734819294935478345034221669945873339408801]

(Nice one wolflet..I"ll try writting down the tN for every shot, from now on, need the practice and the math...if I calculated something wrong tell me)
OOoooh man...just like in General Rodrigo's treasure mine..'cept it's fraggin' bots instead of Mexican mercenaries...well, might as well do it for the crowd..aaaw what am I saying no one's around to see that. Four-Eyes quickly draws his revovler reaction for quick draw (TN4, cause of quick draw holster) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] He got his Marshall from under his camo jacket with great speed and finesse, rapidly shooting twice at the bot on the left, using his off-hand to move the hammer back, wild west style (TN6 for range, -1 for Smartlink2 with goggles, so TN5, got perso grip, RC of 1, so second shot ain't got the +1 for recoil) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6][dice=6] (4 hits, moved from 9M to 9D) second shot [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] (2 hits, 9M to 9S)
The bots were getting closer. Time to rince, wash, repete soon. He alling his revovler toward the next bot, quickly letting out a shot before moving from them. (TN6 again, -1 for smartlink, +1 recoil)
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] pool [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]. (nothing!) (Hope I calculated it all correctly)
The bots were moving closer, not enought to be too close for confort, but enought to be a problem. Four-Eyes ran off in the open for a few meters, before positionning himself to do his routine again.
Damn, what are Nina and Micro doing? doesn't take long to run to a building, punch an Ork behind the had and reprogram some bots....Well I think..[rand=663192969707377546670670830078722558235541068467136066536386287]

It's drill arm spins in a lazy arc, just before the second slug sparks into the drive motor housing, sending a shower of sparks out of every gap in the housing - the shower abruptly stops with the bot torso slumping backwards at an un-botlike angle..
the second rapid fire connect with steel bar - sending out a resounding high-pitched PaaNNnn DzeeeyyoowwNN a bright pair of sparks where the shots hit solid steel , and the machine keeps coming for ya....
The other two are making groung to the right , you open the distance by a short sprint - it was probably the run that put your aim off....
Nina and Micro have a choice - try to get closer to affect the droids - but you know that they do have Infra Red vision - or shoot them, but you run the risk of alerting E-Weasle.......
From Where you think Four-Eyes is comes another smattering of shots..
Micro is still concentrating on keeping up the spell, unless it is obvious, like the two mining bots in front of you, you will not notice it..... Magic doesnt like high tec !

I figure trying to get up close wont hurt, at worst we have to start shooting which is our other option anyway. Knowing they could be using IR vision I think we should try and aproch in a way that we can't be seen as easly like the side of them. hopefully this will work so Nina can take control over the drones but if it doesn't we will just have to use our guns to vent there metal shells a bit.
Unless Nina decides to start shooting that is my plan.
Man I hope I don't have to start shooting all this spell cast sure does take it out on a Mage, oh well I'll be able to rest when this is all done and maybe I'll beable to join a magic group in a little bit and learn some of that meta magic I heard was so good. Until then keep the spells going and hope for the best Micro thinks to himself hoping the sweat dripping off his face doesn't give away his location

You advange gingerly by going around the back of your current cabin in order to tak the mining bots from the rear. Nina freezes- there is one of the postdriods quietly roaming the area, folowing a route that keeps it close to any obstructions,walls, places where people could potentially hide... after watching for a few rounds, it clears the camper van - trundling over to the cabin you are watching from....
Bag, droid, droid bag as Tommy Cooper would say... it does not take more than a twinkling for Nina to decommission the now heap of junk. It powers down.
Both of you decide to sneak to the camper van door, peering in through the dusty windows - there is a long-haired youth jacked into an array of equipment, concentrating hard. The door is locked as you quietly try it.... This has to be E-Weasle..
Can you do the lock Nina ? A shake of the head shows her inability... Micro does know a little about the electronics of locks - this one seems easy enough, so
elec [dice=6][dice=6] one success (it is an easy lock!)

After a sweaty minute while Micro has to drop the spell - leaving the two of you in the glare of the sun - but no overhead drones though.. just two maulers around the corner... dzzztt..
Open and in you both go.. Nina gun out, Micro ready with wiggling fingers...
Not a peep from E-Weasle
Nina knows that it is dangerous to eject anyone jacked in - and her sympathies stop her from dumping him out of the system... sooo a quick peek into E-Weasle's deckand his Riggerinterface reveal... E-Weasle is out cold!
Nina goes through the safe eject procedure - then refoccusses ten seconds later. uncoupling the lad from the jacks - you quietly decide what to do next.. It is probably dumpshock - Four-Eyes may have taken out some of the bots, in fact Nina disabled two... If E-Weasle was piloting them he would be taking a lot of feedback....
A few more shots ring out - sounds like Four-Eyes is still leading the mining bots away from the camper van..... You both wonder if his flesh is being rent by those sets of grippers and drills....

"So Nina should we call Four Eyes now or do you think you can down the bots safely well Four eyes is shooting them down, I leave the chose to you, you know alot more about this tech stuff then I do." After Micro says this he does a quick look around the camper van too see if there is anything he can thinks may come in handy or is important.
"I'm just going to take a look around Nina see if I find anything I might want"

I (Nina) would like to take control and turn off the marital law program (and encrypt it so it can only be used by unencryptin it) and have all the bots gather in one spot neer the entrance of the mine in position to go back to work.

Goddamn! I need a dempter..that was a little to sharp for me..'should have aimed carefully
Four-Eyes kept running, until he was at a good distance of the bots. He then stopped turned, and aimed at the remaining bot at his left before firing aimed shot (thought of keeping a long range distance, so TN6, -1 for goggles, -1 for aimed shot, so TN4) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] (4 hits, so from 9M to 9D) He took a second shot, for good measure. (non-aimed, TN6, -1 for goggles, perso grip gives RC:1, so no +1 for recoil) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] (3 hits, 9M to 9S) (since in your last post describing my situation, the bots were in melee range in 2 rounds, starting from long range, I"ll assume that after one round they're at medium, it that's ok) The bots were getting closer, almost time to run off again, but he took a chance and fired off 2 quick shots at one of the bots at his right, before running off.
fist shot (TN5, -1 for goggles, +1 for recoil) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6] (2 hits, 9M to 9S) second shot (TN5,-1 goggles, +2 recoil so TN6) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6] (one hit, 9M) His revovler switched to the side a little, the second cylinder taking his place in the chassis. He then took off, not really wanting to be cut to shreds by the drills and pliers of the bots' mechanical arms. [rand=4877610276177272943421731918205483364204632122766684816624115538]

Four-Eyes whaps another few rounds into the mechanics, stopping a second machine.. run stop shoot.. run stop shoot the last one stays still while the two slugs smash neatly into the engine cowling one inch apart..
Good grouping even if I say so myself..
no more moving parts heading your way.. time for a smoke and a reload. The shell cases tinkle lightly onto the stones underfoot. The air has a light acid taste to it, the cigarrette tastes kinda different and the sun warms your shoulders.. good to be alive.
Hunter and Fryer move into the open
Twenty creds you owe me Fryer, all four in under fifteen seconds..
Fryer puts his fingers into the holes oW still hot!
The martial law programme is easy to trace down - E-Weasle has already accessed it - all you need to do is lock it down again with a swift encrypt. The machines resume their earlier tasks - A call to the others warns them to leave the machines alone... You two leave the camper van, Micro noted the deck that E-Weasle was using...
Miners spill onto the streets out of the 'Trolland Leuttice'.... twenty or so dusty orcs...
Theres that quiet moment just before they all cheer and rush up to carry you high for saving their lives.. splintered by:
Who the frags gonna pay for my fraggin minin fraggin bot?
An they dont cheer. They seem well pissed.
In fact it looks like you got some diplomacy to dish out..... Now who amongst you has skills appropiate for calming irate miners..? And why are they so pissed off at you anyway ?
It just doesnt get any easier...
Hey I got the power link up ! Jakey seems to have missed the point about whats happening right now, but he seems good at his job!

Four-Eyes reloaded his weapon and holstered it back. The hot barrel resting under his arm made the whole experience as more rewarding.
The miners came out of the Trolland, Four-Eyes smiled ready to get the praises and cheers. "Who the frags gonna pay for my fraggin minin fraggin bot?"
Drek, 'save their hides, and they still think about their losses..hmmm..they don't look happy, not one bit..great what did Ballastor told them?
Jakey came around "Hey I got the power link up !"
Right the antenna! 'Almost forgot about that.
"Good work Jakey, but I don't think those guy knew what was happenin'." He turn to the pissed-off miners "So wanna know who's gonna pay for everythin' huh? Well I"ll tell 'ya; it's the same guy who chopped the wires at the fraggin' antenna. Nice cut it was too, all clean 'prolly with a monowire or somethin'..'cause in case 'ya didn't know, you're all the victim of sabotage, fraggin' sabotage. Somebody's been playin' you like a bunch of puppets man, fraggin' puppets and he's laughing while he's playin' your strings man." Four-Eyes radiply puff his smoke, slowly getting mad 'them frags better calm down before I loose my temper..

Micro reaches over and grabs the deck after he sees that Nina is done with her reprograming of the bot.
"You don't need this do you Nina? I'd love to keep it if I get a good price I may sell it if not I may be able to find some one that can use the programs or the whole thing."
Micro places the deck under his long coat thinking that it's his unless anyone says anything other wise, but still knowing if he sells it he will give everone there cut. With that over and thinking it's the end of the troubles Micro wipes a bead of sweat from his forehead and smiles. Until he walks out side with Nina and hears a load angry sound coming from the 'Troll'.
"Nina I think we should go and see what is taking place at the 'Troll' it doesn't sound good"
Micro begins to walk over to the 'Troll' thankful he doesn't have to keep those two spells going any more.

Nina looks at Micro and says "You can have it, doing it with one of those is like doing it the hard way. However i would like to look at the data on it first to see if i might be able to sell it."

" Thanks Nina, If you find anything worth selling I think we have to cut Four eyes and the rest of the group in. I always wondered what the matrix was like, if I get a grade or two of intiate (OOC higher magic that ups your magic rating) I may use it for my self get a data jake and see the matrix up close and personal. OH! but it may be Jakeys oh well I'll see if it is his, if not it's our's to sell or keep we haven't decided yet. Man I hope I get to keep it, Ever since I traveled in astal space and loved it so much I have always wanted to check the matrix out. I guess if we sell it I could always get a cheap one to start but I want to up my magic first I get enouph backlash from my spells with out burning my mage powers off."
Micro says smileing happy at his find, even if he may not get to get to keep it. ;D
