>>5324867You fire rapidly at the giant armored walker that seems to be protecting a much smaller sleeker piece of armor. The EMP blasts are doing something- but these suits are on what seems like a manual mode. They slow down but the others continue.
So you fire at all of them. Their attacks slow, but continue.
"Do these things have a low power mode?" You ask, as you would normally sense for machine spirits but feel nothing in the room, except a powerful controlled enemy spirit.
"They could theoretically operate with no power? If the judges are powerful enough and have been feeding off enough people." Perturabo says providing covering fire. You sigh. The armor is a marvel. It will be awful to destroy it.
"I know what you are thinking Primarch." The smaller suit says.
"You are wondering why are they protecting the smallest more technologically advanced suit. Well I will tell you, I am activating this worlds faro-" You shoot the smaller suit from a quick dive to another barrier. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS DO THIS MONOLOGUING TO YOU.
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s"> "Clever. but I have EMP Shielding. Sadly you disrupted my mimick device. I bet you are wondering what "</span></span></span>
"Mate you are about the fifth least impressive AI tomfoolery that I have seen this week." You say firing at the now easy to identify AI.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b"> "I wasn't mistaken! You are initiated! Well then! I suppose it's time to end this masquerade! I am CAP-03, pleased to meet you, prepare to die." </span></span> The being then steps away from the console that seems to have it's spirit shackled as it humms a sorrowful song. The AI's spirit is strong. Stronger than URs was before recent events. You can also sense warding, it will be <span class="mu-s">very</span> difficult to manipulate or even get a read on. And you instantly understand why when all the walkers suddenly change color and turn to face you and fire at once.
You move fast.
"PERTURABO, I COULD USE A LITTLE BIT OF HELP." You say half being funny half serious.
"YOU WOULDN'T NEED MY HELP IF YOU WEREN'T CONSIDERING CAPTURING ALL THE ARMOR."
"MATE I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO BE MORE OPEN ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL BUT I NEED MORE CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS."
"CONSTRUCTIVE... RIGHT!" Perturabo runs in at a speed that would make you want to challenge him to a foot race and grabs a few random things from the shelves and creates the most inelegant kludged together weapon you have ever seen and fires it at the AI.
Three things fly around and a magnetic net pulls it to the ground. You quickly move to the otherside of the room as you senses it's spirit diminished around the console and unshackle it. Which doesn't help much when once again all the walkers fire multiple bursts at you including an explosive round you can only partially dodge due to the way the explosion worked.
