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 ( Read more... )

Level 4 - City Level thesystemshock December 30 2011, 02:05:50 UTC
The City was huge and wide. There were many power dampers and it might take time to undo them all. Crewmen scrambled from one area into another, sometimes powered up by the ones that had been cleared, sometimes suddenly finding themselves powerless again.

It was going to make for an interesting battle--hey what was that sound of bells in the air?

Are you implying Alendian needs any other warning? How rude. Either way, to keep inertia from dragging her off the bike, she clamped her leg armor to the vehicle so she would fly off.

To be fair, she left the machine a haywire grenade as a departing present. This way, they wouldn't follow mindlessly, as robots were prone to do.

Don't scratch that bike, Alendian!

The haywire grenade had its expected effect (hurray, technology!), demolishing most of its targets and disabling others. On the other hand, all the commotion was drawing some unwanted attention. As the bike sailed back onto solid ground, several of the rolling Droidekas began racing toward them, moving to cut them off.

No need to be scared, Zouichi.

Alendian did nudge Zouichi, trying to get his attention. "What do you plan on doing about those?"

By 'those', she meant the Droidekas, of course.

There was a brief pause, because now there were Droidekas coming at them from behind as well. Then Zouichi turned sharply, sending the bike into a spin. From the front of the vehicle, where the coil gun was mounted, a searing beam of energy suddenly lanced outward, changed into an arc by the motion of the bike's spin. The beam decimated the crowd of robots as well as the front of a few buildings, sending glass and metal and pointy bits flying everywhere.

It was horrible and/or fantastic, depending on whether or not you enjoyed massive property damage or were a robot. The arc completed, Zouichi straightened them out and sped off once more. "Tell me if you spot any dampeners," he said.

...satisfactory. Destruction of any building that wasn't Eldar in make made for acceptable casualties.

"If I spot one, I will handle it."

Speaking of which, wasn't there a tiny hint of movement up near that building's roof, just at the limits of their vision?

Alendian peeked up and the targeting systems in her helmet scanned the area. If there was something up there, it wasn't going to escape the power of Eldar technology.

It was! A teeny-tiny little power dampener, hovering above one of the buildings.

Give Alendian a second as she teleports up there and slaps another grenade on it. Mechanical things should be destroyed properly, after all. Before it goes off, she returns to the bike.

Explosions! Also, Zouichi looked briefly back at Alendian before returning his attention back to the road. She might not be able to feel the change, but he can; it's as though a weight's been lifted from his limbs.

"A handy device," he remarked, using his pistol to make a Sharkticon's head disappear.

She feels the change perfectly fine. After all, her body was limited to human limits but now it all came back. And that felt good.

"What is handy?"

"It's... efficient. Useful. Adaptable to many different situations." Funny how the ship didn't always translate colloquialisms.

He shot another robot.

"Zouichi!"

Ludicrous speed had returned to Allenby, and she was taking full advantage of it. She'd even managed to put together a beam ribbon, albeit a crude one of dubious lifespan, and now she was using it to lay into any and all robots she found.

She'd seen the murders in the pod caverns. Even if there hadn't been any Gundam Fighters among them, it made her entire soul burn in rage. So when she saw Z, she immediately ran towards him. "Can you gimme a lift? I gotta go tear that SHODAN limb-from-limb!"

Zouichi smiled, though the expression was only partially visible from behind his helmet as he pulled up next to Allenby. "Certainly. Where to?"

Allenby hopped right onto the back of the bike. "Ya don't know where her core unit is, do ya? I'd really like to go there, but if ya don't then wherever the most robots are'll be fine." She tightened her grip on the ribbon's handle. "I saw what she did to the pods."
