" Jakey where's the rigger hut , ya know the building where the rigger equipmant is located ?" Fryer scans the area again . " Those bots look to me like they are guarding the tavern . So the way i'm thinking is let's go ask the rigger why ? Also we should go check the bus on the way . That is the main reason we are here ."

(occ what other buildings are in the mine area) As I'm Looking I begin to search for anyone who might of been at the meeting or anyone that may have info on why the tavern is so well guarded I think to myself My throat may be dry but I would like to know why there are droids there before I just run up hoping for a drink, I'd just project in but that would leave my meat body open for attack. More info is needed before I can get the dirt out of my throat

I programme the drones, well the intelligent ones anyway - for nearly six months now. I took over from, erm Ballastor called him , erm, wee-wee boy or something.. he is still onsite somewhere - one of the caravans i think..
My workshop is by the powershack - that's where the rigger controls are.. the blue one, with the open door..
hey thats not right, that door was locked up! thats sensitive equipment in there, someone could accidentally tap into the site systems and mess things up .... oh, they already have havnt they.....
Look if I get to the workshop I should be able to over programme the drones and droids - it wont take long to shut them off - it will take a hell of a while to reprogramme though ..
What are you going to do? theres a lot of mechanicals out there
Just as if to prove his point, a flatbed carrier rolls on past carrying a pile of cooling equipment used extensivly around the hot crater. Do its beady LCDs watch you from the corner of its display panel..? Is it relaying information or processing instructions in its low level electronic chattering..? It slows, stops, turns and continues away from you... Beedilly beedilly beedilly

No one around to ask regarding what has happened very recently - you can hear something from the 'Troll' but not make it out.
Those drones and droids look unnaturally still - waiting for something.. orders? people? trouble?
As you said Micro.. you need something more to go on... You could just stroll over to the meeting..
beedily

Looking confused Micro decideds to see if the meeting is still on, thinking with no one around it must still be taking place. Too bad about getting a drink, it's probly for the best anyway drinking too much is not always good for mages, and I never liked drones, manabolts don't effect them. I'll wait and see what is happening around here before I dry my throat. I just hope I don't get in too much trouble for coming to the meeting Late. Note: I am not walking right up to the door I want to see if there are any drones around first. Man I don't like drones

"Well Jakey, first is to get the drones offline, then to get those people freed..'hope they're not being held a gunpoint, it could be trickier.."
Four-eyes ducked behind some rubble when the fladbed passed by. " 'Course, 'never thought of being forced to HIDE in a pile of rubble with only a wood camo jacket..damn frag.."
The truck leaves, silence is back...Four-Eyes looked around, trying to spot where the drones could be hiding, or anyone else for that matter. [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule fo 6 [dice=6]
The silence was starting to bug him..too much is like not enought, if only there was something to listen to, but outside..wait
Four-Eyes gets his micro hearing amp (OOC: rating 8)and listens to the surroundings. perception:[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6] micro hearing amp (R:8) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rule of 6 [dice=6][dice=6][rand=4023935697233367302499055127680849304640282982921839519901497378456023]

Four-Eyes has a very good idea about local sound - you can use this whenever you want to revert to a 'sound test'.... but you are not close enough to distinguish the noises from around the site.. you could probably apply the micro amp to a 30 min time frame, and you would think that you could zero in after about twenty minutes.....
Generall, most of you are peering tentetively around any cover - you are all being very quiet and subtle.. lots of listening (Done) lotsof scrabbling nto cover as well..
First twenty metres ar fine, lots of small machine parts to hide behind. Four-Eyes spots a pair of crete barrier droids scabbling off to the left.. towards the caldera rim..
do you want to scurry past , or sneak , or just blow em away!...?
they are crete pyramids o top of a set of legs - main objective is to move the pyramid when told.

Seeing the 2 concrete drones making their way near him, Four-Eyes will sneak pass them, they don't looked armed according to him, but with machines, you're never too cautious...not to mention they were going to get them off-line anyways, why waste ammo and heat on some stupid drone?

Micro Mage having a dislike for Drones seeing how his best spell wont work on them has desided to get to a hiding place and try astrally finding out what is going on. Preception test to find a great hiding place [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Once the spot is found I've decided to head for the Tavren to find out what is up. Man I hope my meat body hold out for the short trip.Micro thinks to himself[rand=3745355803190037642755001665208342946208592089855502346464818466]

A few big bins provide a temporary resting place for your physical - no sharp-toothed squirrls around, so you feel quite safe...
After astralling the brief trip to the 'Troll and Lettice' the townsfolk are watching the big screen, muttering quips like
Yeah -youre damn right... Slimey twister... He did what..?
And looking at Ballastor - who is shrinking into a corner....If you understood what the vid was saying, then you could make some sense out of it all, but being astral, vid just does not translate...
Overall it does not look good for Ballastor.. - you could easily manifest to find out what is going on... and ask one of the irate crowd of miners..
Where you been for the past ten minutes Mister Micro.. you must have missed the big exposee of the year - this Ballastor has been selling us down the river for years - he slung out E-Weasle to cut costs - and has been raking off the cream for years! Ballastor is a flamin crook! He's been takin us for a ride and sucking us dry .. and were having no more of it!
E has been teling us some home truths about this mining site, and they are pretty dark - we diddnt expect to get shafted by one of our own! He y hear that! an he is right as well !
Hey - youre not here...
A number of eyes turn to you - a couple of their hands pass through your solid-appearance with muted gasps.....
Ballastor sees and realises the opportunity to get a message out..
Micro - its E-Weasle, he's feeding them lies - help me Micro -- Help me! he has to be broadcasting frome somewhere close - a land line - he can get the drones onto a martial law curfew setting - help! Jakey is comng back with a team..
t this point a bundle of miners grab and gag Ballastor - tying hi to his chair.. then they look at you...
Whats it goin to be Mr Micro.....

I leave the tavren and return to my body. On doing so I decide that walking around unprotected is a bad plain, things could get out of control fast so I will cast my armor spell and sustain it with my focus after which I'll wait for my spell pool to come back and cast my Imp. Invisibility (Good thing I never cheaped out this spell works on drones)
(Armor TN=6 , Drain=4M)(sorcery=7 for TN Will+spellPool =12 for Drain) TN=6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] Drain=4m [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Since i failed at getting the thing to work but no Drain I'll try again
TN=6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Drain=4M [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Ok Micros A little bit up set I went to all those years of school to throw theses spells and now I can't get my main defence to work. ONE MORE TIME (until drain hits, success or someone notices) Thankfully I'm not in a shoot out right now TN=6 (armor Again sorry for all the rolls) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] Drain=4M [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
After a small breath of releaf and a L stun wound all TN+1
Now it is time to turn invisable(TN was 4 now 5 Drain was 3m now 4m) same thing 7 for TN and 12 Drain With a dizzy head Micro decides that even with the head ack it would be better to stay out of the drones sight . TN=5 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] Drain=4M [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][rand=48871482634420256757476658595394996612249691741314740601113388563]

(OCC Since I got NaN rolling the last 11 over sorry for all the rolling) Drain=4M 11 left to roll [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] With a big sigh and a head ack micro stands up streches his legs from where he was hiding and starts to move out making as little noise as posable. Man My head hurts I guess that is one of the prices you pay for using magic I still think it is worth it. I got to get more info and I may need help if things go bad Micro thinks to himself Now I'm off looking for where E-Weasle may be casting from and to see if there is any miners I can get to help, knowing my spells give a kick back and with one being sustaned I pull out my Area Preator with the laser sight off I know It only makes a dot but you never know thoses drones make think something is up if they keep seeing the dot
(OOC Sorry again for all the rolling I did get burned I now have L stun)[rand=4227062251507304641699358381672462010420798128315853842041975909]

(OOC dont waste those spots! whats NaN?) Miners are few and far between out on the streets - you could try knocking on every door - or the astral equivalent - pass through their cabins eash one taking a round or two to view it would take aaaages! The Miners are - it seems mostly at the 'Troll', quite a few bots outside. Jakey and his team are.. where? They were supposed to be back last night Theres the landline connection Ballastor mentioned leading to E_Weasle who seems to be the instigator of this whole thang. you want to contact people, problem is - it seemed like many miners were supporting E-Weasle in some form of coup - or a mutiny! Who could you trust if you did get some help? Being invisible, and not the cheapskate version either... you have the run of the site - but you are limited to where you wish to scurry .. you realise you are near enough on your own unless you can contact anyone else who may help. Meanwhile... The repair Team have made it into the site, and are currently sliding from large rock to machine parts to pool of shadow.. A suggestion is that anyone not able to sneak, stays back a little, bringing up a rearguard...First thirty yards are the stickkiest - blood pumping, sweat starts to roll - making the gungrip looser, your eyes trying to take everything in at once in the bright sunshine. Behind you at the fence - a buggy bot runs the perimeter, running its extended arm across the fencing, making a buzzing rattling noise on the chain links as it scurries along.. You know what comes next.. the non-sound where the pannel has been cut, and a brief investigation. It moves through the breach towards the forest edge - scanning for.. Heat signatures ? Next twenty yards you have the choice of covered sheds and lots of cover or a dash across open ground. this will bring you to the first of the cabins. Four-Eyes I think of your hearing amplification as a radio tuner - to start you can hear everything - which is not much use - so it takes time to filter out noise you do not want, eventually you can hear a single source - but it takes a while to filter.. Or you lock onto the source you want , great for tracing a rare bird call - hear it once then tune into it the next time, that will then pinpoint it. That weaving surveillance drone has stopped the lazy patrol an looks like it is hareing its way in a straight line to the fence-hole... The two mining bots you passed, rise up on their six pointed legs - heads turning slowly to scry the site... they have an array of hard metal tools. Unarmoured- if you cut them you could easily pop a hydraulics line - shooting them may be trickier - there is a lot of steel rods and casing - but a well placed slug will no doubt hit a vital engine part.. If only you knew what was going on.. Please provide your ideas for what you would all like to do in this potentially dangerous situation... beedlly beedily Looks like someone has a good idea that you have arrived...

(OOC I rolled 12 dice at the end of my first post just like the ones above it but it came out NaN me and Braddoc thought it may be Not avalible Now, because I rolled too many times in one post but that is just a quess may be a 55 roll limit) Micro fiqures the best way to find out what is happening is to find E-weasle and talk to him unless he starts shooting first. So I will make my way to the landline leading to Weasle but on the way I plain on looking for any miners I can trust enouph for some help, but the way it looks to me is I'm all alone. And maybe I'll find the team Jakey was leading but I don't know if they will help or hurt we will see. (Man I hope I don't have to start shooting, but atleast these drones don't have feels that makes it alittle easyer for me to grip the possablity of having to one fire Micro thinks to himself)
