Xander Morhaime:
Mission 1: Radio Silence
After suiting up and dividing the explosives and ammunition among yourselves, you made your way to the teleporter station. The station itself was rather unremarkable, a small room with the teleporter pad in the middle, with windows overlooking on each side. The pad itself was low to the ground, lights steadily blinking on its sides to signify that it was ready to send.
"We're ready for insertion up here, so if you'd step on through," came a voice over the speaker built in over one window.
Taking a deep breath, you stepped onto the teleport pad, one by one. Each time, once your feet touched down onto the pad, a crackling field of energy surrounded you, pulling you elsewhere...
The feeling of displacement passed quickly. You found yourself elsewhere, and remembered to quickly get off the pad to allow your squad mates to come through behind you. The room you now found yourself in looked like storage. The floor was simple bare concrete, the walls looked quite sturdy, panelled with metal grating and lined with shelves, those in turn filled with what looked like boxes of spare electronic components, a couple of pipes running along the ceiling, two basic lamps providing some illumination. The room was narrow but long, with the teleport pad on one end, and a simple door on the far end. It was rather quiet... at least that meant you hadn't tripped any alarms coming in.
Gargulec:
Preparing and raising his weapon, Viggo approached the door on the other side of the room.
'One... two... three!' he muttered silently, checking whether the doors were open. If not, he would try to force them.
Xander Morhaime:
There was a simple on-off type panel next to the door. A flip of the switch made the door slide to the side into the wall with a faint hiss.
The room beyond also seemed to be used for storage, though of a different size class of material. It was stacked almost up to the ceiling with large containers - if the labels were to be believed, mostly foodstuffs and such. Almost immediately after the door opened, you heard the soft whirring of a servomotor running as a 'bot rolled past. It was a pretty non-threatening thing, barely waist-height to you, moving on a pair of treads mounted on the sides of a rather blocky central piece, topped with a small column with the sensor cluster and a very basic manipulator arm. Said central arm was presently occupied with pushing a forklift, which in turn was carrying another cargo crate.
At least there seemed to be no guards present... though the high stacks of crates made it impossible to see anything on the other end of the room.
Gargulec:
Not saying a word, Viggo approached the mech carefully not to step into it's sight, and then, positioning himself in the back of it, reached towards it's 'head' and ripped of the cable that connected the machine to it's CPU.
Xander Morhaime:
Viggo managed to sneak up to the 'mech without alerting it and grab the thick cable on its back. Pulling it out was more difficult than at first appeared, and he only managed to partially sever it. Rather than risk getting the machine's attention or have it go out of control, he continued pulling on the cable, suffering some electric burns from contact with the exposed wiring, but managing to pull it off completely. With the vital cable severed, the 'mech's failsafe kicked in and its tracks ground to a halt, stopping it dead, though the wire still sent sparks flying onto the floor.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Viggo suffers 1 Endurance damage, but the bot has been disabled.
