"I believe we have a scheduled magic performance at the theatre where the source of that music is coming from! I can tell they are ready to be awed by my Great and Mystifying self!"
Jul 12, 2019 9:33 am
"Well... they seem to have started the show before the cleaning staff confirmed the appropriated directives were cleanly followed. I must conclude traitorous, mutated, twisted and savage commies must have somehow infiltrated the theater and be planned some evil deed of corrupted morals"

Still clueless about what his fellow troubleshooters were going on about, Cart naturally nodded vigorously and enthusiastically. "Masterful maestro! Clearly their equipment must be malfunctioning. I must go and fix it at once!"

Brett leads the march into the tunnel, recording the destruction as he passes.
Jul 17, 2019 1:30 am
Brett leads the group through the rubble of the crashed gates and the Troubleshooters step over their previous clones. The G8R-Bot-006 is aimlessly turning circles at the end of the T-junction seemingly oblivious to the Troubleshooter team.

As you move in the Direction you last saw Zhon run off, you begin to notice little scurrying shapes far away down the tunnels, at the limits of vision. The shapes are similar to human form, but they are too small, distorted and hunched over to be people.



Sheeeeeeee'll beeeee....cloning round the complex when she clones,
She'll be cloning round the complex when she clones,
She'll be dressed in zone red reflec,
She'll be cashing in a paycheck,
she'll be cloning round the complex when she clones...

Oh my, more people!" Brett says aloud as he records the weird creatures. "Huh, they're more uglier than my less attractive audiences! Oops, did I say that too loud?"
OOC:
Are the distorted humans approaching our direction, or the other way?

I add to Brett's remarks "I think they may need to take a shower before the show as well". I start looking for what hygienic products I have. "Heeeellloooo there! Anyone needs some soap?" I shout and raise my hand, my voice echoing through the dark tunnels.

"Blessed bot!" Cart exclaimed in enthusiasm, and whipped out his multi-tool. "This is my expertise, I shall be able to repair this in no time! He fully intended to fix the GR8 bot so that it could accompany and assist them in their endeavours. "Hmm, maybe voice activation, maybe proximity circling..."

At the sound of Will's voice, the shapes scurry off away from the Troubleshooter group and further down the tunnels.

The G8R-Bot is a Frankenstein monster of other bots pieced together, but the main components seems to have been derived from a few older model Scrub-bots. Cart felt right at home.

On closer examination Cart can see a classic NES-Gen-1n external inhibitor on the Bot's main input receptor. There must be a nearby control sending a left turn signal to the bot. With Cart's multi-tool the inhibitor is easy enough to remove.

Cart continued to try and reprogramme the bot, trying to configure it to accept his voice commands.

"Ooh, they ran off! They really do look in need of a thorough cleaning, my hygienic friend! Well, let's wait for our friend here to fiddle with this strange bot before we on continue our journey!" Brett tries to zoom the multicorder onto Cart's tinkering.
Jul 17, 2019 10:31 pm
It's as if dismantling a Computer-issued inhibitor is second nature to the expertly gifted mechanic. In no time the G8R-bot is rolling on it's back and wagging it's tail at Cart-O-YRE's every command.
Jul 18, 2019 12:29 am
Turning to Brett's multicorder, "I declare great success! On behalf of friend Computer I have redeemed a traitorously programmed bot to serve our greater cause! Desirable doggy!" Cart patted its head, pleased to have accomplished this, and ready again to press on.
Jul 18, 2019 7:56 am
"What a nice little bot. Roll over, roll!" I order as I pet the new bot. Then I turn to Brett "I think they are also in need for some amazing showmanship! If this song was all I heard, I'd be as crazy as a disgraced mutant! Shall we check them?"
OOC:
what? someone touched something and we are still alive? :o
Jul 18, 2019 12:57 pm
"Aw, what a cute bot! We got ourselves a pet to join us! This reminds me of a story I believe which is called 'The Computer of OZZ'! Let's head on down the grey stone road!"

I was all prepared to roll another 20 and have Cart's hands bitten off

The tenacious trio of Troubleshooters continue down the tunnel, trotting toward the traitorous tones.

As they approach the direction of the shadowy shapes, they can hear footsteps behind them. When the troubleshooters stop, the footsteps behind them continue for a second and then also stop. When the troubleshooters start moving again, the footsteps continue again.

"Is it me or... that bot's steps are very loud?" I turn back to look as I grab/assemble by blaster

OOC:
Wait, did I forget to declare that doggybot is coming with us?
"Come here G8R-bot, I will take care of you, and you can be my loyal companion and faithful friend!" In his eagerness to press on, he had forgotten to tell the bot to accompany them. "I shall name you GR8-SPOT!
Jul 18, 2019 8:37 pm
GR8-SPOT silently slinks up beside Cart.

Will turns the barrel into the laser pistol and can just make out a couple hunched over humanoid forms now behind them.
The forms dash into the shadows.
