"Probably the same thing the old tech was killed over." |

--- Quote from: Gojira on May 19, 2015, 03:51:54 PM ---"...huh. Wonder what those are." --- End quote --- Someone who overheard you fills you in. Apparently, all sorts of captured enemy equipment are coming in from Taiton. As you go over you see just what sort of equipment they're talking about, you notice that there appears to be a bit of a scuffle going on; An Aesthian marine (note: not Jurgen) is standing over an unarmed Helian automaton, brandishing a pipe wrench. The machine's self-preservation protocols are readily apparent as it attempts to shield its more vulnerable parts from each incoming blow, but it makes no attempts to counterattack. : The hell kind of fightin' robot is this? It's not even tryin' to hit back! |

Yes-Man responds to the marine's rhetorical question. "Because it doesn't know what attacking is, silly! When you hit it, it thinks of "falling box", or "collapsing shelf". Why would they make a hauler capable of fighting? Wait, why are you breaking it, anyway? I'm not sure we can get our hands on many of these..." |

No, no, this is one of their combat bots. I saw them back in Taiton during the fighting, I saw these killing people left and right! : This unit has logged 0 incapacitated hostiles since last boot phase. : Nah, I think sunshine over here might be right. The fighting ones have a protective visor over their "eyes", and that antenna on the side of their head is longer. And there's another on the other side. And- The marine throws down the wrench in frustration and storms off to vent his anger somewhere else. : Ugh, just shut up already. The machine remains sprawled out on the floor of the hangar as the crowd begins to disperse. It looks relatively intact, and seems to have weathered the beating much better than any human would have, but is having difficulty moving. Also, now that there isn't as much of a crowd around the pile of captured goods, you're able to inspect what sort of gear has been brought from the front lines. |
