>>5741945And finally, you happen upon some Metal Beasts… but they’re not roaming the area. They’re locked up in cages of some kind. You hear movement, and duck into a little corner, keeping the gathered Destron Gas in a tight sphere with Telekinesis. Glimpsing what was moving, you first are immediately struck by… how it isn’t even ALIVE. There’s no Ki in there. Second thing that catches your attention is that it’s moving almost in a zombie-like shuffle, yet still… well, mechanical, robotic in appearance. Third, it isn’t alone, as there are a few others following behind it.
Each one grabs one of the cages containing the Metal Beasts, carrying them away. Okay, reasonable deduction: someone is ordering around those zombots. You follow them, and after a short time, arrive at a rather large laboratory. In there, a surprisingly small robot, about the size of the blue one you and Zubastik just rescued, stands near a large monitor. It… looks vaguely feminine, and has traits of both spiders and octopi, either possessing multiple heads or a head with multiple faces, a primarily silvery sheen to it that brings a shiver down your spine, and unlike the zombots, it’s clearly alive. And the monitor… it’s showing the area outside. And a few inside. Crap. But… it hasn’t noticed you just yet, so maybe you’re in the clear for now.
The figure lets out a series of computer-y beeps, orders apparently, and brings up a… video file of you entering the building. Not good. But… still hasn’t noticed you THERE yet? Okay, it’s having one of the robo zombies look for you. Next, it has the screen zoom in on your allies outside. The beeps it’s making take on an almost… mocking tone, and you sense a strong energy build up near everyone.
