IC SOLITARUS: HOSTILE WATERS

When the gunshot sets off, Cream immediately knows what's coming. She immediately dodges the former two bullets coming at her, but completely isn't aware of the last one-

-thankfully that only hits her left arm. That does hurt though, as the girl flinches, staring at the security unit with shock. The shock soon turns into seriousness.
"We be going dirty, huh?"

It screeches in pain, before making a sound akin to something held underwater. The wounds in its body rapidly begin to mend itself, and judging by the noises it generates, this process is not a pleasant one. The bullets are ejected out of it as the destroyed flesh fills back in, its efforts taken up by this move. Its form remains stationary, remaining as cover for whoever chooses to use its services.

((10)) (9) THE MACHINE WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID THE SECOND BLOW.. IF THE FIRST HAD NOT BLOWN ITS HEAD CLEAN APART. THE BODY RATTLES UPRIGHT FOR A MOMENT, SLUMPING OVER IN PLACE.

THE OTHER SUPPORT UNIT MANAGES TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO ITS ALLY, EVADING WITH A WIDE MARGIN. (10)




(1, (10), (10), 3), (4, (10), (10), (10)), (10,(10),(10),3) KU-19d IS BLASTED BY ALL THREE VARIED BLOWS, MANGLED, BUT NOT BROKEN.

KU-73n TANKS THE SHOTGUN PELLET SPRAY, BODY STEAMING WHERE HIT. IT SWATS THE NAIL-BOLT AWAY WITH ITS CLEAVER, SHOWING A FRIGHTENING AMOUNT OF RESOLVE TO GET TO ITS TARGETS. IT WEAVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE LASER PULSE AS WELL, SCREAMING FORWARDS AS IT DRAWS BACK ITS CLEAVER, ROARING TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE.

JU-14f EVADES THE SHOTGUN SPRAY AS WELL. THE NAIL-BOLT DOES LODGE IN ITS HEAD THOUGH. THE FOLLOW UP PULSE NEARLY DETATCHES AN ARM AS WELL, BUT IT CARRIES ON, STEEL-FRAME BROOM HELD AT THE READY.

JU-02s TAKES PELLETS TO THE MECHANICAL GUT, PLATES FLUNG OFF ON ITS TORSO. IT ALSO TAKES A NAIL TO THE NECK, OIL VIOLENTLY BLASTING FROM THE WOUND. AS IF ANGERED BY THE PREVIOUS INJURIES, IT REVS UP, WEAVING OUT OF THE WAY OF THE THE PULSE.

THE PIERCING NATURE OF THE PULSE MEANS THOSE BEHIND TAKE VARIED DAMAGE.

RAISING ITS HANDGUN TO FOLLOW HER, IT LETS ITS GAURD DOWN (10, 3) THE FIRST BLOW IS ENOUGH TO NEARLY CAVE ITS TORSO IN ENTIRELY, WIRES AND OIL FLAYING OUT AT THE SEAMS. COMBINED WITH BEING MARKED BY THE PREVIOUS LASER SPRAY FROM CABA-TEV, CREAM"S KICK IS ENOUGH TO SNAP SOMETHING IN ITS MECHANICAL NECK, AS THE BIPEDAL MACHINE STAGGERS A BIT TO THE SIDE BEFORE FALLING OVER, LIFE LEAKING FROM ITS BODY.


(10) STILL WHEELING CLOSER, IT DRAGS TO A HALT, DIGGING ITS BROOM INTO THE GROUND TO VAULT ITSELF OUT OF THE WAY.


GIVEN THE KITCHEN STAFF IS ALREADY DOWNED, ANOTHER MACHINE WEAVES IN TO PROTECT SDD-4. KU-73n BLOCKS THE FIRST BLOW WITH ITS CLEAVER, BUT THE FINAL BLOW STILL LODGES THE EDGE OF THE BLADE THROUGH THE TORSO OF THE NARROW-BUILT SDD-4.

THE MACHINE STILL REMAINS STANDING, THOUGH FAR WORSE FOR WEAR. IT RIPS THE BLADE FROM ITS GUT WITH SURPRISING STRENGTH, CASTING IT ASIDE ACROSS THE FLOOR.



Caba-Tev was healed to (NEARLY) full health!

(7, 16, 1) Gauze is blasted in the thigh by the first bullet, buckling down to evade the second, only for the third to nail her in the shoulder.

She gasps quietly in pain, raising her pistol up to the machine which shot her. She looses all four shots towards SDD-4. (4, 10, 5, 16)


(11, 12, 7, 6) It evades all but the final shot by intercepting the homing bullets with frightening accuracy with its own shots. The last bullet corrects, ripping through its lower torso. The machine wobbles a bit before maneuvering back further.

Feeling invigorated, but slightly panting, Caba slows down on her laser barrage, sensing her sap store starting to run dry, firing off only two piercing blasts instead of 4 (4, 9), aiming to finish off KU-19d before prioritising JU-02s, JU-14f and SU-88b.

(10, 3, 2) Despite it's enhanced mobility, the machine suffers greatly from all three blows. The icicle rips a good chunk out of its side as it weaves away to try and dodge, the first hammer blow shatters its lens, deforming its head, and the second, though not disarming the machine, severely mangles an arm. It's on its last legs for sure.

(6) The gunshot not only shatters the rifle in the machine's grasp, but blows directly through the machine's midsection as well.

SDD-4 falls to a knee, one arm ruined and crooked, grasping the remnants of its rifle, oozing oil throughout its whole frame.

It forces itself back to its feet,
entire body crackling with sharp red currents.

It reaches to its side, drawing and unfurling some sort of sharp, electrified baton, bending its knees before weaving back towards the group with blinding speed, one arm hanging limply behind it.

NO ILL EFFECTS SEEM TO BEFALL HIM AS HIS ABILITIES ARE USED IN COMBAT.

(4) Even with enhanced mobility, the unit cannot fully evade the blow. The attack lodges directly in its chest, though that does not stop the machine. It raises its working arm, slamming down, shattering the exposed shaft of the spear from the rest of the blade, knocking it away.

[129 / 130 HP; 10 + 5 (buffed regen) = 15 Sap. One turn of buffed regen left...)
Caba pants, a bit exhausted.

Tev, meanwhile, manages the defense, easily scuttling back to avoid the slash (6)before his oculus narrows, some calculations running inside his "mind".

In a flash, Tev turns both of his multitool hands to knives, lunging at JU-02s to try and end them in a blink with two swift incisions to their body, slicing off both their arms with surgical precision (15, 12), presumably doing severe damage to it. Caba Tev then quickly shifts one of his multitool hands back to its syringe gun form, taking aim at KU-19d and lining up a shot that should impale it in the neck (20), knocking it straight down before turning around to drive his remaining scalpel into JU-02s' body to finish it off, just as it presumably tries to retaliate(19).
 
The security unit has gotten dangerous for sure, but... That girl seems to have more tricks.
[Evasion: 11, Attack: 9, Damage: 18, Stun?: 1] JU-02s' charging hit no one as Cream leaps out of the way just in time, and she retaliates with a fireball thrown at its lower torso.
Then, focusing on SDD-4, she grasps on her hammer and goes for a horizontal swing - not being too much successful [accuracy: 3, damage: 6+1, stun?: 15]. When the unit might think that's over, Cream jumps up, and is going to smash its head in.
[accuracy: 19, damage: 38+1, stun?: 20!!] Raising her hammer above her head, Cream's body actually tilts a bit back. Then, with all might she can use in a blow, she jerks forward- so are her arms- hurling the hammer down with shocking accuracy at the machine's head. It's bound to have a bad time if it can't dodge that.

Karl is stunned by the sudden change of speed, nevertheless, he manages to defect the first blow, but gets struck by the second and third, barly managing to dodge the fourth and getting cought off guard by the fifth.
(14+18+18=50-89=39, current HP:39, hope I did it right)
He staggers back, using his hammer to not fall to the ground. He then does a downward swing with his hammer, hoping to connect with creams hammer and cruch its head[18]. He also grabs a piece of metal laying around and turn it into a sword, hoping to cut off the machines arm if it isen;t killed by the blow[11].

(20) Haren snorts dismissively as he steps out of the way.
He turns his attention back to SDD-4, and with his sword back in hand, he lunges at the machine and somersaults in the air for a charged leap slash (14, charge applies on hit), his tail swinging down and slamming against the target in front of him with its sturdy attached orbs as he lands (18, charge applies on hit, 20 stun).
 
Arma does take him up on this!
It moves slightly, to better shield Arma.
"I... shall bear your... pain. It is... better, I do."

It then tears off another piece of itself, hurling it at Gauze, the mass once again rapidly changing to match the wounds it must fill.
 

[Extra turn given by Karl -Attack: g18, damage: g18, stun?: n/a]
Cream is honestly surprised by X-001 doing an assistance by knocking her hammer towards the unit, and that causes her to stumble forward - her hammer is still heavy, in case you don't know.
"Whoa there-"

(g18 here means given 18, not fixed 18.)
(fixed rolls are determined a oneself, while given rolls are determined by other people.)
Then, she notices X-001's injured state, and it looks nowhere as good. "Stand back! I'll get this handled! You go to a medic first!" shouts she.

(7, 16, 1) Gauze is blasted in the thigh by the first bullet, buckling down to evade the second, only for the third to nail her in the shoulder.

She gasps quietly in pain, raising her pistol up to the machine which shot her. She looses all four shots towards SDD-4. (4, 10, 5, 16)


(11, 12, 7, 6) It evades all but the final shot by intercepting the homing bullets with frightening accuracy with its own shots. The last bullet corrects, ripping through its lower torso. The machine wobbles a bit before maneuvering back further.

The landed shot healed 4 damage via energy conversion back to Gauze's pack! (Parasite State)



(9) And Arma rather easily weaves out of the way, raising her rifle as it finishes cooling.

She looses two pulses at the Storage Unit, (13, 15) then one at SDD-4. (10)


HER FIRST BLOW IS ENOUGH TO RIP THE UNIT TO BITS.

SDD-4 evades again. (15)


Foundation moves to protect Gauze. (ABSOLUTE AEGIS (BULWARK subclass exclusive) (75% damage reduction for Gauze, Foundation takes full damage and is unable to attack.)

Seeing the corpse of the Guardsman, Nailz' pack engages, and he sets to work. (11)

(Realizing the issue this causes, my further Operator attacks will take place at the end of turns from now on.)


((10), 9, 6, --) THE FIRST TWO MACHINES EVADE WITH EASE, THOUGH JU-14f IS NICKED PRETTY DEEP ALONG THE HEAD. SO MUCH FOR THOSE SPOT REPAIRS..



(10, 3, 2) Despite it's enhanced mobility, the machine suffers greatly from all three blows. The icicle rips a good chunk out of its side as it weaves away to try and dodge, the first hammer blow shatters its lens, deforming its head, and the second, though not disarming the machine, severely mangles an arm. It's on its last legs for sure.


(10) IT BARELY DRIFTS TO EVADE... HOW IS IT STILL MOVING? STILL UNHARMED? (Okay yeah these rolls are genuinely crazy 😭 )


((10)) THE UNIT IS PROMPTLY SPLIT IN HALF, BOTH PARTS CLATTERING STIFFLY TO THE FLOOR.


(IT DOESNT MATTER) WITH SU-88b DISPOSED OF, THE NEAREST MACHINE, JU-02s, IS CRUSHED INTO SCRAP METAL, STEAMING OIL COATING THE BLADE AND HAREN ALIKE.



Arma does take him up on this!


(1, 7) THE FIRST BLOW SPLITS OFF ITS CLEAVER ARM. IT BALLS UP ITS REMAINING FIST, REACHING IN A DESPERATE PUNCH BEFORE THE SECONDARY SHOT BLOWS ITS HEAD TO BITS.
IT SLUMPS AGAINST THE GHOUL, BODY CLATTERING QUIETLY TO THE FLOOR AS LOCOMOTION CEASES.



(6) The gunshot not only shatters the rifle in the machine's grasp, but blows directly through the machine's midsection as well.

SDD-4 falls to a knee, one arm ruined and crooked, grasping the remnants of its rifle, oozing oil throughout its whole frame.

It forces itself back to its feet,
entire body crackling with sharp red currents.

It reaches to its side, drawing and unfurling some sort of sharp, electrified baton, bending its knees before weaving back towards the group with blinding speed, one arm hanging limply behind it.


[TUTORIAL! UNITS WITH A COMPLETED BRACE OF ATLAS PROTOCOL TEND TO CARRY ON UNTIL THEY ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. AS SUCH, THEY ARE QUITE DANGEROUS. PRIORITIZE DISABLING THEM BEFORE THE PROTOCOL FINALIZES TO MINIMIZE THEIR DAMAGE!]


NO ILL EFFECTS SEEM TO BEFALL HIM AS HIS ABILITIES ARE USED IN COMBAT.


(4) Even with enhanced mobility, the unit cannot fully evade the blow. The attack lodges directly in its chest, though that does not stop the machine. It raises its working arm, slamming down, shattering the exposed shaft of the spear from the rest of the blade, knocking it away.

presumably doing severe damage to it.

(7) WITH HOW DAMAGED THE UNIT IS, THE BLOW SEVERS ITS HEAD ENTIRELY, THE SYRINGE STICKING IN THE OPPOSITE WALL WITH THE SEVERED HEAD HANGING ON IT FROM A FEW CABLES BEFORE QUIETLY DROPPING TO THE GROUND. SEEMS THOSE AUGMENTATIONS PAID OFF....

(--) DEAD AND UPRIGHT, THE FINAL BLOW IS CINEMATIC, SPLITTING THE UNIT NEAR IN HALF, BUT OVERALL, UNNECESSARY.

(3) With its enhanced mobility, the machine is able to scarcely eek out an evasion, turning its attention to cream after its brutal assault on Karl.

It's bound to have a bad time if it can't dodge that.
[MISS - 118/123]
(11) The hammer crashes down, splitting the machine's angular head nearly in half from the concussive force of the blow. It stumbles awkwardly back, barely able to remain on its pronged feet.

(STUNNED, 1) The blows are slightly off from each other, but regardless, the machine's head is now a pile of scrap metal with a scarcely lit red lens somewhere about it. It's arm is ripped almost cleanly off by the scrap blade, dragging across the ground, connected by a few loose cables and wires.

(20) Haren snorts dismissively as he steps out of the way.
He turns his attention back to SDD-4, and with his sword back in hand, he lunges at the machine and somersaults in the air for a charged leap slash (14, charge applies on hit), his tail swinging down and slamming against the target in front of him with its sturdy attached orbs as he lands (18, charge applies on hit, 20 stun).
(2,1 (all natural rolls btw 😭 ) Down both arms, impaled several times over, and unable to see, its no surprise that Haren gets the drop on the machine. He crashes down, first blow ripping its head into bits, which clatter across the room, cleaving a deep gash into its torso. The second is enough to split it down the middle nearly all the way through, connected only at the waist and below.

It moves slightly, to better shield Arma.
"I... shall bear your... pain. It is... better, I do."

It then tears off another piece of itself, hurling it at Gauze, the mass once again rapidly changing to match the wounds it must fill.

(--) Under the continued barrage of attacks, the already dead, yet still standing machine has a leg blown from its frame as it attempts to take a single step towards The Ghoul.
It falls to the ground, loosing the arm holding the baton entirely as it shudders a few times on the floor, lights flickering for a moment as they fizzle out.

Seeing as the conflict is done, Foundation steps away, slinging his shotgun to his side. (Ending Absolute Aegis state)


Arma steps out from behind Markas as well, smiling up at them and patting them on the side before walking towards the others.

Gauze, a bit roughed up, but on the mend, takes not of Karl's pretty sizeable damages. She first has to take a turn to disengage the parasite state, tubes and needles slowly retracting from where they slotted into her sides. She grimaces quietly, closing her eyes and whistling, so as to not hear the fleshy squelching of the gear shifting.

Arma, wiping some sweat on her armored jacket sleeve, glances around at the Assets.

"Dinghy? I think. Don't like her. Stuck-up. tispe."

"How are you two supposed to get along if you won't even talk to each other?"

Cream takes a deep breath, and looks at the injury on her left arm.
...a bleeding graze, that won't affect her much.
She carefully uses her right hand to touch it (hammer nowhere to be found), but "ack-" and regretted doing that.

With that, she looks at the corpses of scrap metals, to find something useful - or something intact enough to be useful. Including the corpses themselves.

It marches towards Karl, once again removing a piece of itself, handing it over with a perfectly blank expression. The mass snakes out its palm and begins its work.

Its eyes drift to the sound of battle.
