>>6173868The plasma fire chops off some limbs from the creatures, but don't quite kill any.
You miss the aim on your antimatter gun, but the resulting explosion is MASSIVE, damaging all the creatures in the area.
They seeem to get scared and escape through the vents.
"Whatahell was that gun?"
"Antimatter. Special issue.", you answer.
"Those things got really scared of your gun, Gizmo. Now let's get to work before they come back."
You head to the terminal and hack it, sealing the room with blast doors.
Then you check the drones.
The ancient pieces in this place are mostly for carrying heavy loads.
Still, you do find some laser cutters which could make decent weapons.
Now you just need to figure out which hulls you want to place the cutters on.
Big Load Hauler - could give the creatures a run for their money blocking their path or pushing them around
Vent Cleaner - it could pursue the creatures inside the vents
Floor Swiper - it would have an easier time chopping off the creatures limbs
You have 10 sets of laser cutters.The plasma fire tears through the creatures, severing limbs but not quite finishing them off. Their screeches echo through the chamber, a mix of pain and rage.
You fire your antimatter gun, but your aim is slightly off. The blast, however, is catastrophic—a massive explosion ripples through the area, damaging every creature within range.
Startled by the sheer force of the weapon, the biomechanical beings retreat, their skittering movements growing frantic as they escape into the vents.
“What the hell kind of gun is that?” Rook asks, wide-eyed.
“Antimatter. Special issue,” you reply with a hint of pride.
Holt chuckles nervously. “Those things looked like they’d seen a ghost when you fired it, Gizmo. Let’s get moving before they change their minds.”
Wasting no time, you approach the terminal and quickly hack into it, overriding the system to seal the room with reinforced blast doors. With the area temporarily secure, you turn your attention to the drones.
The equipment here is old, mostly designed for heavy lifting and cargo transport. Yet among the relics, you uncover a cache of laser cutters—rudimentary but effective. These could make decent improvised weapons against the creatures.
“Looks like we’ve got some options here,” you say, inspecting the available drone hulls.
Big Load Hauler: A bulky unit designed for heavy loads. Its sheer size and strength could physically block the creatures or shove them aside during an attack.
Vent Cleaner: A nimble drone built for navigating tight spaces. It could pursue the creatures into the ventilation system, cutting them off in their hiding spots.
Floor Swiper: A sleek, maneuverable drone capable of quick movements. It would excel at targeting and severing the creatures' limbs in close combat.
You have 10 sets of laser cutters to allocate. Now you need to decide how to distribute them among the drone hulls.
