Piss Poor #24

[18:35]	Mad_Modd	our group has just done calisthenics with our mad robot friend, Midnight_Hour non to happy about the extra exercise. Our group is still stuck in the stable on the mad scavenger hunt...
[18:37]	Ragebrew	looked around the gym slowly, barely phased by the short trot. She looked back to Long, still fastened to her back. "Alright, well, that was useless. Lets move on."
[18:37]	Midnight_Hour	growls. "If this crazy robot's in control of the stable, then he can only be in two places. Either he's in the Overmare's office, or in a place unique to this Stable like a robotics lab or a server hub."
[18:37]	Elektron	shakes off the excercise and gets back behind his little robot scavenge "Where to next?" he says, grunting at the effort to push it along
[18:37]	Merciful_Devotion	grumbles and wipes her brow. "Okay... When we find that fucking robot, I'm tearing it apart..."
[18:38]	Ragebrew	"Midnight, yer the most knowledgable about this place. Lead on. We will follow."
[18:38]	Project_86	Now gather around childens and listen in for I have a story to tell: Come with me~ hop a carpet and see on another araibian night~" THer robot sings off key as another song plays over the speakers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qN72LEQnaU
[18:42]	Ragebrew	just listened to the song. "Huh. Old worlders made some weeeeird music."
[18:42]	Midnight_Hour	points the way and leads the group back towards the 'Chief's Office.'
[18:43]	Elektron	pushes the robot forwards with the group
[18:44]	Merciful_Devotion	mutters under her breath, most of it very colorful curses.
[18:44]	Project_86	As the group leaves the gym "Hello and welcome to the barntech science applying area, please report to your stations for emergency sessions of SCIENCE!"
[18:44]	Mad_Modd	the chiefs office was right around the corner from where they had come in, the door was locked with a simple key code...
[18:45]	Ragebrew	looked to the group, and snorted. "Figure this'll keep up no matter what we do." She followed after Midnight.
[18:45]	Midnight_Hour	"Elektron. Do you think you can hack this keypad and get us in?"
[18:45]	Project_86	"Ptsss hey HEY its 1853"
[18:45]	Elektron	grunts as he gives the robot another big push "Probably"
[18:46]	Elektron	listens to the madbot "Do you think thats the real code or the code to make bad things happen?"
[18:46]	Project_86	"Wait wait, No no its ummm 2054"
[18:47]	Project_86	"Wait not that it is the first one!"
[18:47]	Ragebrew	looks at the door closely, making sure it wasn't rigged to blow or zap or whatever the hell else this machine had in mind.
[18:48]	Ragebrew	looks at Elektron. "Looks clean. Give it a break in."
[18:48]	Elektron	goes to the door and attempts to hack into it
[18:49]	Mad_Modd	the door opens easily, the code being '1853'
[18:49]	Elektron	blinks "Huh. Guess he wasn't lying."
[18:49]	Merciful_Devotion	does a quick double-check of her weapons.
[18:50]	Project_86	"Bah! see you should listen to your friendly robot!"
[18:50]	Mad_Modd	inside was a single desk with a terminal still working terminal on it, the place looks like it was rarely used, being surprisingly clean...
[18:51]	Mad_Modd	desk with*
[18:51]	Elektron	approaches the terminal "Hey Rage, want to check if this was trapped?" he said, nodding to the terminal
[18:51]	Merciful_Devotion	"Seriously, robot... I'm gonna end you when we find you..."
[18:51]	Ragebrew	sets Long-shot down by the door, stepping inside and looking over the room once again for any lovely surprises in store for them.
[18:51]	Elektron	quickly remembers he left the robot outside and goes to retrieve it
[18:52]	Project_86	"wHAT i DONT KNOW HOW TO TRAP! weHAT ARE YOU DOING SILLY PONIES! i'M TRYIGN TO HELP, i'M JUST BORED AND WANTED A LITTLE GAME.....DAMN IT GET OVER HERE AND FIX MY VOICE BOX AGAIN..."
[18:54]	Elektron	pushes the robot into the room... then collapses on the floor
[18:56]	Ragebrew	looks to the intercom, and grins. "And I should believe ya... why?" She looked back to Elektron who was slumped on the floor and shook her head before walking over to him and giving him some water and an apple. "Catch your breath, this room looks clear."
[18:58]	Project_86	" I CLEARED MY SYSTEMS SINCE THE LAst time I saw you guys! have I, as in me done anything to harm you yet?" He chuckles a bit, humming to another beat in his head "I've just been giveing you nice songs to listen to."
[18:59]	Elektron	takes the water and apple gratefully. Once finished, he slowly makes his way to the terminal and tries to access it
[18:59]	Mad_Modd	with this being the 'Chiefs' terminal it is heavily encrypted, it will take some skill to hack...
[19:00]	Merciful_Devotion	looks around. "Is there an off switch for the intercom somewhere... Please?"
[19:00]	Ragebrew	"Yes, ya have. Those robots from earlier nearly killed Long, and woulda fragged Midnight as well. Don't be playin the "It's ok, I just wanna be friends" routine when ya've made it quite clear ya wanna see us dead eventually."
[19:02]	Midnight_Hour	rolls her eyes. "Plus he's a robot with a "Kill All Ponies" complex. He's completely unoriginal."
[19:02]	Mad_Modd	Elektron hacks into the terminal easily, the password being 'Default001', he finds only two audio files within...
[19:02]	Elektron	"I found some audio files here, want to listen?" he askes everypony else
[19:03]	Ragebrew	"Sure." She rested near the door pulling Long-shot inside while lookin down the hallway, her revolver at the ready. Narrow corridor, one way in, one way out... Not a good place...
[19:04]	Project_86	"How long do you think I have been down here? Hmm? Not nearly long enought to gain controll of every single system~ Or maybe I have but you seemed quite intrested in a certin set of files that I was being asked about last time~"
[19:04]	Elektron	plays the earliest audio log
[19:08]	Ragebrew	looks to Midnight as she chewed on an apple, flicking one to the other two mares. "This robot is tied to Project 42. We want it's brain intact."
[19:09]	Merciful_Devotion	snatches the apple and takes a bite. "So I /cant/ just blow it up... Somehow...?"
[19:10]	Ragebrew	shrugged. "I was figuring get what we need, decide from there."
[19:12]	Mad_Modd	the files plays, the voice of a young mare, speaking in a sad tone comes through "Hi! This is Scootalo Vice President of Stable-Tech. If you are hearing this then it means that we failed.... and that it all ended. But have hope! We at Stable-Tech have not forgotten out buffalo friends and constructed this state of the art shelter to save the buffalo people from the bombs. This facility...
[19:12]	Mad_Modd	...has been designed to last for centuries and we have taken the special needs of the buffalo people, constructing a large 'park' complete with one of our patented orchards for added food stuffs. We here at Stable-Tech have a single task to ask of the buffalo people when they do eventually leave the facility. Distribute the various bit of technology we have in a special storage facility in...
[19:12]	Mad_Modd	...the back of the 'park'. These are simple preserved food, seeds and small spark generators, intended to help reestablish civilization. Our friends at RoBronco have even been so kind to include one of there state of the art security systems to help keep these goods safe." you hear the clank of a glass "And I'm sorry.... we're sorry we couldn't stop this. Please do better than we did..."...
[19:13]	Mad_Modd	...and the recording shuts off
[19:13]	Elektron	perks up "Stable Tec? I thought the robot said this was made by Barn Tec?"
[19:14]	Ragebrew	shrugged "Brains decayin is my bet."
[19:15]	Elektron	"Well what about the storage faucility? Think the Buffalo took it when they left?"
[19:17]	Ragebrew	"Unsure. Play the second file. Might give us an idea."
[19:17]	Merciful_Devotion	"I think so, unless those apple trees grew by themselves..."
[19:17]	Elektron	nods and plays the next audio file
[19:19]	Mad_Modd	the second recording is dated nearly thirty five years after the door closed, a deep gruff voice on the other end "Stupid machine.... is this thing on? Well alright then. This is Chief Charging Bull, we are leaving the stable. The security system turned on us when we went to take stock of this 'storage facility' in the grounds. We have evacuated most of the herd but some of our braves...
[19:19]	Mad_Modd	...fell fighting these robotic deamons! We were only able to drag out a few boxes of something labeled 'Experimental Emergency Re-population Belts' . Let it be known that we did try. I will stay behind to close the door, to be sure that those damn robots do not follow us. For the ancestors!" the recording shuts off to the sound of heavy hoof steps running ,presumably, out the office door
[19:20]	Elektron	's ears shoot up "Rage! They still have some of those Bandoleers left!"
[19:21]	Midnight_Hour	ponders over the recording. "Interesting. The security bots turned on them when they tried to enter a storage facility. Makes you wonder what's down there."
[19:21]	Ragebrew	pulled out her cigarette from before, idly chewing on the filter as she listened to that. "Sounds like the stock room will be pretty heavily armed. However that'll also be our best bet for a good haul. However, ya think there is any way to shut down these robots? Sure the overmare's terminal might have the power..."
[19:22]	Midnight_Hour	shakes her head. "If they did, the chief would have done it before all their braves died."
[19:22]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles a bit. "I kinda want to have one of those belts and a key... Could be a fun prank."
[19:23]	Elektron	shakes his head "If there ever was, its gone. Everything here is corrupted."
[19:23]	Midnight_Hour	thinks aloud. "And the socio-psychological studies that could be done with them..."
[19:24]	Ragebrew	looks at Mercy and Midnight, and just facehooves. "Yes, put more bucks through this lovely state I'm enjoying so very, very much..." She pushed off the wall, and looked around the desk for anything of use. Namely, a sodding lighter...
[19:25]	Elektron	with the hacking done, takes another moment to collapse on the floor. He'll just stay here for a few minutes...
[19:26]	Mad_Modd	the desk only contains a few unused Stable-Tech pens and stationary
[19:27]	Ragebrew	clicks as she finds nothing of real use, taking a couple of the pens and leaving the rest. "Alright then. This supply room is our best bet for a handsome haul. However, odds are it's also the place of the highest threat, possibly where our host is. Shall we search for it, or resume exploring randomly?"
[19:28]	Merciful_Devotion	"Well the whole 'explore random rooms' has been working just peachy, hasn't it?" She says with a hint of sarcasm.
[19:28]	Ragebrew	"We ain't dead yet, so yes it has."
[19:28]	Ragebrew	"Plus, might find something of use."
[19:29]	Merciful_Devotion	"Like ammo? I need more for my LMG..."
[19:29]	Elektron	speaks up from the ground "Is there anywhere left to go besides that supply room?"
[19:29]	Ragebrew	"No idea. Never been down here before. Midnight, ya got any idea how these places are laid out? Ya might be able to guide us somewhere of use, like an armoury."
[19:30]	Midnight_Hour	shrugs. "Only thing I can think of is that supply room. If I were taking control of a place, I'd take the most defended."
[19:30]	Merciful_Devotion	nods. "Armory would be a good thing to find..."
[19:33]	Ragebrew	"Right then." She stood back up, lifting Long onto her back once more. "Elektron, leave the bot for now. We'll pick it up later, unless ya think ya can fix it on the fly."
[19:39]	Ragebrew	"Lead on Midnight. We will be right behind you."
[19:39]	Elektron	nods and leaves the robot behind for the moment "We'd better be coming back for it!"
[19:39]	Midnight_Hour	sighs before leading the way, ready to raise her shield at a moments notice.
[19:40]	Ragebrew	nodded "Plan to, if we aren't running out of here with hell on our flanks." She fell into step right behind Midnight, using her height to look over the mare, sweeping her revolver left and right, waiting for a surprise.
[19:40]	Merciful_Devotion	steps into line, making sure her weapons were loaded.
[19:41]	Elektron	follows close the Merciful_Devotion
[19:54]	Elektron	*to
[19:54]	Ragebrew	was panting slightly, a few beads of sweat rolling down her muzzle as she worked to keep pace with everyone. "Damnit Long... Wake up already..."
[19:55]	|<--	Project_86 has left irc.canternet.org (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[19:57]	-->|	Project_86 ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[19:58]	Merciful_Devotion	"You okay there Rage?"
[19:59]	Ragebrew	nodded a few times before shaking her head, sending a few sweat drops flying. "Carried heavier... Just worried about her..."
[20:00]	Mad_Modd	the next floor greeted them with three signs, 'R & D', '2nd Dormitories' and 'Orchard'
[20:01]	Merciful_Devotion	"Huh... Where should we go first?"
[20:01]	Elektron	looks to the signs "The recording said the supply room was behind the 'park', which is probably the Orchard
[20:01]	Elektron	"
[20:01]	Ragebrew	looked at the three signs. "RnD sounds promising, the dorms were a bust last time, and we know orchards are where the good stuff is..."
[20:03]	Merciful_Devotion	"I'm thinking RnD might be good... Might get something to help us take the supply room..."
[20:04]	Elektron	"Well, may as well try them both before going to the orchard. Try the R&D first?"
[20:05]	Ragebrew	looks at Midnight "Yer call ma'am."
[20:07]	Midnight_Hour	ponders. "Dorms first. Then R&D. There might be salvage we can use."
[20:08]	-->|	Heartshine ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[20:09]	Ragebrew	nods, and takes point to the dorms. "Weapons ready. I smell another surprise of the mechanical sort..."
[20:10]	Merciful_Devotion	nods. "Gotch'ya back, cap'n."
[20:10]	Elektron	nods and follows behind Mercy, keeping the MER ready and the Alien Rifle on reserve
[20:10]	Midnight_Hour	follows as well, her carbine raised.
[20:12]	Mad_Modd	this floors were much like the first, clean and looking barely used, these looking even less used than the ones before
[20:13]	Ragebrew	starts looking around slowly. Yes. Paranoia was one hell of a drug.
[20:14]	Elektron	peers around, looking for any glowing mechanical eyes
[20:16]	Mad_Modd	they do find a little more than the previous floor, a few 10mm rounds and a small stash of booze
[20:18]	Ragebrew	looks at the small stash of booze, and sets it into her food sack. "We can have a right proper feast when we are finished here..."
[20:20]	Elektron	grabs the 10mm ammo, though he doesn't know why
[20:22]	Ragebrew	looks around the room one last time. "How unexpected..." She looked at the extra pack of smokes, and eye twitched. "My kingdom for a lighter..."
[20:30]	Ragebrew	"Well, the RnD then. Maybe we can find what I'm looking for..."
[20:31]	Midnight_Hour	sighs. "Let's go to R&D then..."
[20:31]	|<--	Midnight_Hour has left irc.canternet.org (Connection closed)
[20:31]	-->|	Aria ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[20:32]	=-=	Aria is now known as Midnight_Hour
[20:32]	Ragebrew	nods, and begins trotting towards the RnD room. "High ho, high ho, it's off to the labs we go..."
[20:51]	Rabtar	the R&D room was rather large, many tables full of unused testing equipment littered the room...
[20:51]	Project_86	JOHNMADDENJOHNMADDENJOHNMADDEN AEIOU AEIOU OOOOOOOoooooOOOOO beep booop bop
[20:52]	Ragebrew	twitches at the screaming comin over the intercoms.
[20:52]	Merciful_Devotion	"Goddessesdamnit! Shut. The. Fucking. Hell. Up!!!"
[20:52]	Project_86	But
[20:53]	Elektron	's eyes are drawn to all the science equipment "I wonder what they were doing in here" he says dreamily
[20:53]	Project_86	But, I want to talk to you ponies! I swear I'm not doing anything evil!"
[20:54]	Ragebrew	just shrugs at Elektron's question, and begins looking around for one item in particular. "Keycard, keycard... Where is the keycard..." She was careful not to break anything, but she was searching rather heartily.
[20:54]	Project_86	"Its in the corner next to the cheese!"
[20:54]	Elektron	searches for any equipment he could take with him
[20:54]	Midnight_Hour	looks around the room. "So much knowledge. I have to clear this Stable."
[20:56]	Merciful_Devotion	grumbles a bit, trying not to waste the ammo on shooting the intercom.
[20:57]	Rabtar	the only thing beyond test tubes they find is a large robot standing in the corner, it turns as they approach "HALT BROTHER! Return to your quarters!"
[20:59]	Ragebrew	looks at the robot, then to the others. "Errr..."
[20:59]	Rabtar	it is the same height as a protectipony, but twice as wide, where it's head would be it simply has a pair of sparking energy weapons
[21:00]	Elektron	quickly shouts "THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!" to the protectapony
[21:01]	Project_86	Your a false!
[21:02]	Merciful_Devotion	looks at it. "Okay, mister 'Im trying to help' How about you help by FUCKING SHUTTING DOWN THE GODDESSESDAMNED ROBOTS THAT ARE TRYING TO ATTACK US!
[21:04]	Rabtar	the bot pauses for a moment "Dozzzzzz nottttttt computtttttttttt!" and it flops over, a thin whips of smoke leaving it
[21:05]	Project_86	"Oh my that sends shivers up my special tendrial~" the voice chuckles "And as for them...its is too fun watching them ramble around and besides it seems you have a good way with them, can't make getting to project 42 too easy now can I"
[21:05]	Elektron	blinks "Hey, that worked!" he said brightly with a smile
[21:05]	Ragebrew	looks over at Elektron, blinking a few times before she burst out laughing "Well done nerd pony! Ya killed it with four words! That's a new record!"
[21:06]	Merciful_Devotion	glares at the intercom. "I promise. Once we find you... I'm going to make Elektron force your personality into a fucking potato..."
[21:08]	Project_86	"But I cant be powered off of 5 volts! I'd loose all my data!"
[21:08]	Elektron	goes over to search the remains of the paradox'd robot
[21:08]	Merciful_Devotion	"I DON'T FUCKING CARE!"
[21:09]	Midnight_Hour	blinks in complete surprise and dumbfoundedness. "I thought a paradox loop malfunction was just theoretical."
[21:09]	Ragebrew	giggled. "Ah Mercy, yer amusing when yer angry." She went back to rummaging around the room.
[21:10]	Merciful_Devotion	"Shut up Rage!"
[21:10]	Ragebrew	blinkekd, lookin at Mercy, her ear laying flat. "Yes'm..."
[21:11]	Rabtar	Elektron discovers that this is a 'Robronco Pacification' bot, designed to use less than lethal force to subdue rioters and the like and other than it's central processor it's perfectly fine...
[21:13]	Elektron	starts jumping around the robot shouting "Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!"
[21:15]	Ragebrew	ignored Elektron's display, just going back to looking through the everything for that golden keycard she needed. Her ears were still pinned to her skull, and she wasn't looking at anyone.
[21:15]	Project_86	snickers "Such a silly pony jumping around like an idiot at a candy store about a simple robot, not even a ver good one!"
[21:16]	Merciful_Devotion	grumbles and looks over to Ragebrew. "Sorry hun... That robot just... Ugh... Grinds my nerves something special..."
[21:16]	Elektron	stops jumping "It doesn't matter if its good! I can make it good!" he starts pushing the robot... then remembers he was already pretty tired and doesn't get very far
[21:17]	Ragebrew	nods, but remains quiet as she finished her look over. Sure everything in here was valuable beyond compare, but she didn't understand any of it, and thus, found no value in it. "Maybe there is a hospital down here..." She stepped out, looking around for signs.
[21:18]	Project_86	"Sorry dear julie, I don't mean to! I want all you ponies to have fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun funf ujnffunfunn...>ERROR!"
[21:20]	Merciful_Devotion	sighs and slumps a bit.
[21:23]	Midnight_Hour	sighs. "Looks like this room's a dead end
[21:23]	Midnight_Hour	"I guess it's on to the orchard."
[21:23]	Merciful_Devotion	pulls out the strange green orb. "Hmm..."
[21:25]	Project_86	gasps "Whjere the hell did you get that!"
[21:26]	Ragebrew	sniffed the air a few times, catching the ever so faint whiff, of antiseptic. Her ears sprung up as she started following her nose, sniffing around to see where the smell was coming from.
[21:26]	Merciful_Devotion	"Hmm? Me?
[21:26]	Elektron	tries in vain to push the robot, but it wasn't gonna budge. He made a mental note to return for this one as well and followed Ragebrew
[21:26]	Project_86	"Yes you, that green thing! Where did it come from...It couldent be what I think it is could it."
[21:27]	Merciful_Devotion	"I got it after blowing the arm off a giant zombie sandwich... Fuck that still sounds weird..."
[21:28]	Project_86	grumbles a bit "And you just had to bring its egg down here with you...I really don't want to deal wqith him ...again.."
[21:29]	Merciful_Devotion	"Egg... Yeah... Like I'm gonna listen to you."
[21:29]	Project_86	"Then don't hleave it down here with me! I don't want that basterd anywhere near me!"
[21:31]	Merciful_Devotion	"Then maybe we can make a deal~?"
[21:32]	Project_86	"Oh na nini kinaweza kuwa ni nani?"
[21:33]	Merciful_Devotion	frowns. "Excuse me?"
[21:33]	Ragebrew	just blinked as she wandered around, nose to the floor, sniffing out the sent of antiseptic to the medical labs.
[21:33]	Project_86	"Je, wewe huwezi kuelewa mimi?"
[21:35]	Merciful_Devotion	"Okay, robot. Speak equestrian. I don't /need/ this thing, though it made a nice toy the night I found it, so I'm not afraid of keeping it here if I don't get answers."
[21:35]	Midnight_Hour	"It's zebra. An older dialect. I'd say pre-war or early war."
[21:35]	Midnight_Hour	"He said "What might that be" and "Can't you understand me?"
[21:36]	Rabtar	Ragebrew finds the medical lab, this room telling a different tale, a large scorch mark around a melted robot, another scorch mark across from that, vaguely pony shaped...
[21:37]	Ragebrew	looks at the pair of marks, and walks up to the pony shaped one, looking around for a moment. She had a feeling she knew why they got scorched...
[21:38]	Project_86	"Hmm inaonekana volicatision yangu processers ar si kazi usahihi ... mtumwa kuja hapa na kurekebisha
[21:38]	Merciful_Devotion	"Goddessesdamnit..."
[21:39]	Midnight_Hour	sighs. "I am not your slave, you disfunctional pile of bolts and screws."
[21:40]	Project_86	"Nini! si wewe, haya ponies katika hapa kutoka mji kwamba takataka"
[21:40]	Merciful_Devotion	sighs and just goes to examine the orb.
[21:43]	Project_86	"idogo kwa upande wa , Ein bisschen nach rechts, Smight more. And there! I'm back baby!
[21:45]	Elektron	http://youtu.be/K9q70zCJYBc
[21:46]	Elektron	looks for medical supplies
[21:46]	Rabtar	inside the medical lab was much much worse, anything that hadn't been bolted down was piled off to one side, destroyed robots and long dead skeletons strewn about, a few of the bodies are ponies and look to have been the ones who made the barricade, a pile of bones on the far side of the room probably belonging to the buffalo who had died in this room...
[21:46]	Project_86	"o yes Julie? what was that deal you were speaking of?"
[21:48]	Merciful_Devotion	"Call me Julie again and I'm hiding this thing down here."
[21:48]	Ragebrew	sighs as she looks at the fallen ponies. "We will have to haul these outside for burial once we are done..." She went about picking through the remains and anythin that looked like it was once storage.
[21:49]	Project_86	makes a bit of static "Sorry...My head's not what it used to be I'll refer to you as....number 1~!"
[21:49]	Merciful_Devotion	grumbles under her breath.
[21:50]	Project_86	"ut yes, what did you need?"
[21:53]	Merciful_Devotion	"Here's my deal. Let us go into the supply room without being attacked by robots, let us take what we want, then let us go and leave the stable before turning the robots back on. Do that, and I won't leave the orb here."
[21:54]	Midnight_Hour	turns on Mercy. "No. This horrible monster has to die! HE MADE ME SWEAT!"
[21:55]	Project_86	"mm that is a ver intrsting offer let me ponder it over for a few cycles~"
[21:55]	Rabtar	much of the ponies gear is in surprisingly good shape, if you look pass the laser holes and blood. They even find a bit of drinkable water
[21:56]	Merciful_Devotion	"You have until my friends decide to head towards there. No answer means I hide it somewhere before we leave the stable."
[21:57]	Ragebrew	helped sift through the equipment, but seemed uninterested in the VERY impressive haul they managed to find. "Why are they ponies in a buffalo stable..." She checked over the armor and skeletons.
[21:59]	Project_86	Hmm well then I think that is a very doable thing, But the problem is I dont have full control of all the robots down here, just the Mr. handys you saw before, I might be able to let them follow you around for a bit."
[22:02]	Ragebrew	moves one of the bodies, preparing to ready them for burial. Then she saw the double barreled shotgun and squee'd.
[22:02]	Merciful_Devotion	"I'm pretty sure you're lying, robot..."
[22:02]	Elektron	takes one of the trooper armours as quickly as possible. This still /really/ creeped him out
[22:03]	Project_86	"What reason do I have to lie to you. I do not want that thing anywhere near me, the sooner you get out the better!"
[22:03]	Merciful_Devotion	"Because I'm pretty sure you /dont/ want us in that supply room."
[22:04]	Project_86	opens a few doors "I could care less what is in there, really. You want stable supplies take em and leave! Wityh that orb!"
[22:05]	Midnight_Hour	"We seem to be holding the cards then."
[22:05]	Ragebrew	trots back into the science lab "Aye, we found a good haul, can't carry it all between Elektron and me." She held up her new, battered as sin, double barreled shotgun.
[22:06]	Merciful_Devotion	smiles at Midnight_Hour. "Mmhmm. I may not be too fancy, but I know poker."
[22:07]	Elektron	nods as heaps all the rest of the equipment into a pile before them all
[22:08]	Project_86	grumbles a bit "Here I will even open the doors to the supply area and try my best to block off as many of the robots I can't control. Sond good?"
[22:09]	Ragebrew	looked to the intercom "And what about those poor ponies ya have stuck in here. Or was that just a crock of shit?"
[22:09]	Project_86	"Oh..heh a I don't have money for slaves, what are you crazy...Like me!"
[22:10]	Ragebrew	"Crazy, yes, like ya? No."
[22:11]	Project_86	So I will accept you offer and try my best to help. these Mr. Handys are under my control and will help guide you to the supply area" he says as the door behind them open and in spill the Mr. Handy's from before.
[22:11]	Elektron	pokes Merciful_Devotion "Could you hold onto my old armour? I'd like to wear something more substantial but its a little heavy right now."
[22:12]	Merciful_Devotion	"Thats all I ask." She squeaks at the poke. "Oh, sure."
[22:12]	Ragebrew	looked to Mercy "We still need to get what we can about P-42 out of him..."
[22:14]	Merciful_Devotion	"Small steps Rage, I never agreed to not leaving the egg /after we're done, merely not for /me/ to try and hide it."
[22:15]	Ragebrew	chuckled. "Yer evil at times Mercy. But alright, lets get on the move." She was obviously tired by now, carrying far too much, even for a big pony like her.
[22:15]	Project_86	" I can hear you, you know...If you are not going to hold on you end, why should I help?"
[22:16]	Ragebrew	grinned. "Call it a show of faith, Mister Wizard."
[22:16]	Merciful_Devotion	"Because we still have the bargaining chip."
[22:18]	Project_86	I was lieing before about project 42, just so you know. that info was stored on another part of my body in a bunker a good bit from here. Now really dont leave that here. and besides I gave you a nice safe as I can path to the supply room!"
[22:19]	Ragebrew	"Huh... Wonder if we should do the nice thing, offer to put ya back into a real body. Figure it's kinda boring in here, nothing to do any all. Lead on, Mister Wizard..." She took another swig of water, panting as she slowly thumped down the hallway after the Mr.Handy bots.
[22:20]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles. "Alright, alright."
[22:21]	Elektron	follows Ragebrew after wiggling into his new armour
[22:22]	Midnight_Hour	looks around one more time. "Are we ready to hit the orchard?"
[22:23]	Ragebrew	"Lets see where our distressed host leads us..."
[22:24]	Elektron	nods, adjusting to the weight "Ready"
[22:26]	Rabtar	P-86's bots lead them to the large entrance door to the orchard
[22:27]	Ragebrew	looks at the door for a moment, looking to the bots "So, figure there are bots on the other side ya don't control, yeah?"
[22:28]	Elektron	whispers to Ragebrew "I would use the paradox on P-86... but I think for that to work the robot needs some form of logical reasoning"
[22:28]	Midnight_Hour	"If he is a brain bot, that wouldn't work."
[22:28]	Merciful_Devotion	"I'd rather not try it, anyways."
[22:28]	Project_86	Ummm...actully I'm not sure...the cameras in there are not working..so I am sorry but I can't tell. Also electron...I have a brain you silly pone paradox can't work on me
[22:29]	Ragebrew	"Figure we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.." She flipped out the Samaritan. It was still half and half mixed. "Alright, going in blind then. Crack the door, P-86, I'll take a look."
[22:30]	Project_86	cracks open the door slightly, just enough for someone to get a good look
[22:31]	Ragebrew	hunkers low to the ground, looking into the room while she was pressed to the floor.
[22:32]	Rabtar	the space is rather large, possibly eight to twelve acres, what trees were left looked dead or close to it, the lights dim and flickering, holes scattered about, looking as if they were trees that had been ripped out of the ground. On the far wall there was a large open door...
[22:34]	Ragebrew	looks to the others. "Looks like they ripped the trees out before leaving. Not seeing anything inside though..." She looked again.
[22:35]	Merciful_Devotion	lets out a quiet sigh of relief. "Thank the goddesses..."
[22:35]	Ragebrew	nods after a moment. "Don't see anything in there..." She put her stonehoof on the door, ready to open it. "Guns up kids. Lets get this show on the road.
[22:36]	Ragebrew	set Long on the ground, heaving a sigh of relief, before pushing the door open.
[22:36]	Elektron	sticks close to Merciful_Devotion
[22:39]	Merciful_Devotion	frowns. "It's too quiet..."
[22:39]	Elektron	squints "I don't see anything dangerous around here..."
[22:39]	Ragebrew	nodded before taking a step inside, Samaritan at the ready.
[22:40]	Midnight_Hour	keeps her carbine at the ready, holding it in her mouth as she walks. She was feeling a little better magically, but she was nowhere near one hundred percent."
[22:41]	Elektron	shakes a bit as he hold the Magical Energy Rifle. He saw nothing, which is making him even /more/ nervous
[22:42]	Merciful_Devotion	does a quick look over her saddle before stepping inside.
[22:45]	Rabtar	they push about halfway through the orchard, the signs of small fires and the remains of several small tents litter the area. It looks like the buffalo had chosen to live in here instead of the rooms...
[22:46]	Ragebrew	looked at the tents and the fire pits, arching an eyebrow. "Hippies..." She kept looking around the room making her way slowly towards the back door.
[22:47]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles a bit. "I dunno, seems nice minus the dying trees."
[22:48]	Elektron	would have much prefered to live in the rooms, thank you.
[22:48]	Rabtar	Ragebrew looks down and sees a red key sticking out of the ground, it being labeled "ERH Overide"
[22:49]	Ragebrew	looks down at the keycard for a moment, picking it up. After reading it, a sodding HUGE smile split across her face. She pocketed it for later.
[22:51]	Midnight_Hour	cocks an eyebrow. "Found your lighter?"
[22:52]	Ragebrew	"Nooo... I found my family jewels. Now, lets check that room. Nothing in here but some old tents and dying trees. Could see if we could salvage any later."
[22:53]	Elektron	blanches a bit, but a smile for Ragebrew crosses his face none-the-less
[22:53]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles. "Congrats Rage~"
[22:54]	Ragebrew	"Save the congrats for later. Not gonna see what happens when I use it down here... I'll deal with having to squat for another few hours..."
[22:54]	Merciful_Devotion	just giggles more.
[22:55]	Midnight_Hour	grimaces. "Didn't need that visual."
[22:55]	Rabtar	a trio of large pacification bots come stomping out the door on the far side of the orchard "Halt brother! This area is off limits! Return to your room!"
[22:55]	Ragebrew	laughs at Midnight's comment, before looking at the trio of bots. "Elektron, quick, break their brains!"
[22:56]	Merciful_Devotion	immediately frowns and aims at the bots. "If it doesn't work, I'm blasting them."
[22:56]	Elektron	shouts "DOES A SET OF ALL SETS CONTAIN ITSELF?"
[22:58]	Rabtar	one of the bots freezes, the other two continue forward, opening fire
[23:05]	Midnight_Hour	dives behind a stump before firing off a lightning bolt and a plasma bolt.
[23:09]	Rabtar	the just melts into a puddle of green goo...
[23:12]	Elektron	takes aim at the non liquid robot, quietly crying inside at the lost chance of salvage
[23:13]	Rabtar	only a single bolt hit's it's target, doing a decent amount of damage to it
[23:14]	Merciful_Devotion	growls low in her throat, aiming at the one standing bot and unloading a burst of 5.56mm rounds from her LMG.
[23:18]	Rabtar	despite her care she only hits once, doing little to it
[23:19]	Rabtar	a fourth bot comes stomping out of the room, firing off a shot as it closes, the damaged bot firing a pair of shots at Mercy
[23:24]	Rabtar	most of the bots shot's miss, but Mercy takes a twin blast to the legs
[23:24]	Merciful_Devotion	cries out, clenching her eyes shut as her legs get scorched.
[23:25]	Ragebrew	looks to the party, making sure they are not wounded. She only smelled a little burnt flesh over the scent of cooking machinery. "Always a good sign..." She quickly swapped to her 5.56 revolver, blasting at the closest robot.
[23:28]	Rabtar	Rages pistol only clicks at him, the round not firing
[23:28]	Ragebrew	groans, and remembers to get Elektron to fix her gun later...
[23:29]	Midnight_Hour	ducks out of cover just long enough to fire off three more shots with her carbine.
[23:30]	Rabtar	two of her shots strike home, further damaging the bot
[23:33]	Elektron	takes another 3 shots at the robots. How DARE they ignore paradoxes!
[23:34]	Rabtar	the bot just melts as the first one did in response
[23:35]	Elektron	silently cries again. So many valuable components melting away
[23:36]	Merciful_Devotion	aims her cannon at the last standing bot, shouting a war-cry as she unloads a precision teddy.
[23:41]	Rabtar	the teddy takes one of the bots legs clean off, but it still stands
[23:44]	Rabtar	eight standard protectapony come stomping out, joining the remaining bots, wildly firing off a number of energy bolts, the bot with the logic problem straightens up "LIMITERS DISABLED! COMBAT MODE ENGAGED!" it's head unit glowing red as it dashes to cover, firing a shot at Elektron as it runs, the damaged bot taking a single shot at Mercy
[23:53]	Project_86	"Hey hey! WHats going on in there...I hear loud noises!"
[23:54]	Rabtar	most of the protapony bolts miss, the few shots that hit do little, but both the big bots hit, the shot that hits Mercy dropping her to the ground twitching
[23:58]	Ragebrew	looked back at the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. "Oh hell! Mercy!" She spun around and bolted to the downed mare. "FALL BACK! DOORS FOR COVER! MOVE IT!" She tried her best to lift up the downed mare and haul her back out of the orchard and back into the halls.
[00:00]	Ragebrew	slid into cover on the other side of the doors, slinging Mercy off her back, lathered in sweat. "Damnit girl! Whatchu been eating?!"
[00:01]	Midnight_Hour	sees the shots take down Merciful_Devotion and swallows hard. She fires a shot with her plasma carbine before summoning an energy shield around her.
[00:02]	Rabtar	the shot finishes off the damaged bot, dropping into a smoldering heap
[00:06]	Elektron	quickly rushes into cover and takes 2 shots before ducking his head down
[00:07]	Rabtar	two of the protectaponies drop, one of them turning to pink ash
[00:11]	Rabtar	the big bot moves closer, hugging cover as it fires another shot at Elektron, most of the little bots firing on Elektron as well, only two firing on Midnight_Hour
[00:15]	Rabtar	only the big bot hits, the others missing outright
[00:19]	Ragebrew	hears the sounds of laser fire coming from the other room, unsure what is going on in there. She was busy trying to bring Mercy back to her senses. "Get up ya crazy mare! We need yer dakka!"
[00:21]	Ragebrew	groans as her attempts are futile, before poking her head around the door, opening fire on the nearest bot.
[00:22]	Merciful_Devotion	groans weakly, holding her head in both hooves. "Ugh... My head..."
[00:22]	Ragebrew	"Oh! It worked!"
[00:23]	Rabtar	Rage misses but at least Mercy is back in the fight
[00:26]	Midnight_Hour	focuses her magic to form a small hole in her shield and fires at the largest bot with her carbine.
[00:29]	Rabtar	she hits it 3 times, but not doing enough to slow it down
[00:35]	Elektron	scoots closer into cover and takes another 3 shots at the big robot
[00:37]	Rabtar	he hits it once, doing considerable damage, but his weapon overheats and wont fire the third shot!
[00:38]	Elektron	pants muttering "oh no..." eyeing the distance between him and Ragebrew
[00:39]	Merciful_Devotion	staggers up. "Alright... Lets try this again..." She aims her LMG towards the group and fires full-auto at them.
[00:45]	|<--	Heartshine has left irc.canternet.org (Connection closed)
[00:45]	Rabtar	enough of Mercy's rounds hit to drop one of the bots
[00:46]	Rabtar	the big bot keeps moving, trying to get around Elektron's cover, firing a shot as the other bots all fire on there previous targets
[00:50]	Rabtar	Elektron gets peppered with MEW fire, the stunner from the big bot shocking him badly, Midnight_Hour is still fine
[00:51]	Ragebrew	looks at Mercy for a moment. "Keep to cover keep firing!" Before she broke from cover, sprinting as quickly as she could towards Elektron, going prone next to him while fishing out a healing potion. "I told ya to fall back!"
[00:53]	-->|	Heartshine ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[00:56]	Midnight_Hour	grits her teeth, firing off a lighting bolt from her horn and then another shot with her plasma carbine.
[00:57]	Midnight_Hour	"Get behind my shield, Elektron!"
[00:57]	Rabtar	the bots head explodes in a small fireball, it slumping to the ground with a metallic groan
[01:02]	Elektron	shakes his head at Midnight "It's not any better behind there!" he informs her as he takes 2 more shots at the smaller bots
[01:05]	Rabtar	the battle rages for only a few more minutes, with the larger bots gone the protecaponies are easily defeated
[01:05]	Ragebrew	finished off the last protectopony, her stone hoof embedded in it's chest. "Right! Who's hurt?" She pulled her hoof out, letting it slump to the ground lifelessly.
[01:06]	Midnight_Hour	pours on one final strike of Light magic, frying two of the protecaponies before collapsing to the ground in exhaustion, her shield glowing purple around her.
[01:06]	Midnight_Hour	"I'm okay... Just tired.
[01:07]	Merciful_Devotion	grumbles, wincing as she walked over. "I got hit pretty good... And my head still hurts from that crazy stun-gun thing..."
[01:08]	Elektron	curls up a little "I'm mostly okay..."
[01:09]	Ragebrew	pulled out a couple healing potions, dosing the two of them with some good ol' arcane healing.
[01:10]	Merciful_Devotion	lets out a sigh as she heals. "Now... Lets see what we can scavenge..."
[01:11]	Ragebrew	nods, walking out to pick up Long-shot. She trotted over to Midnight, looking at her for a moment for injuries. "Can ya walk Midnight, or do I need to carry ya as well?"
[01:12]	Elektron	feels better after the potion, and is extremely glad he found the Trooper Armour; he might not have made it with his old leather armour
[01:12]	Elektron	streches and goes to salving from what robots remain
[01:12]	Midnight_Hour	shakes her head and slowly stands, her shield falling as she does. "I'm almost out of juice here, but I can still walk."
[01:13]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Hopefully this is the rest of the security forces." She looked around the smoldering room, frowning as the smoldering holes in some of the trees. "Loot what ya can, I will check, see if any of these can be salvaged..."
[01:14]	Ragebrew	looked at the trees, frowned and rejoined the others. "Fuck it, not like I could take one with me if I wanted..."
[01:15]	Merciful_Devotion	"Honestly Rage, even /i/ can see that they're dead or dying already..."
[01:16]	Rabtar	inside the room was a number of robo repair and recharging stationed, one fore every pacification bot and protectapony, each of them hooked up to a large computer the height of a pony, a terminal mounted to it...
[01:16]	Elektron	hops to the terminal and tries to access it
[01:17]	Rabtar	a second large door on the opposite wall...
[01:17]	Ragebrew	"Might be able to save a clipping..." She looked at the recharger station, following it to the terminal. "Work yer magic Elektron." She walked over to the large door, pressing her ear to it and listening in.
[01:21]	Elektron	frowns and smacks the terminal a few times
[01:23]	Rabtar	the terminal finally give up, opening to it's over simplified command system only having a two commands 'shutdown' and 'target parameters'
[01:25]	Elektron	's ears shoot up and proclaims gleefully "Got it!"
[01:25]	Ragebrew	looked back. "Whatcha get?"
[01:25]	Midnight_Hour	looks over his shoulder. "Shut them all down, Elektron."
[01:26]	Elektron	motions him over "Two commands, shutdown and target parameters."
[01:26]	Ragebrew	trotted up to Elektron, looking at the two. "Well, shut down would be easier, but maybe ya could try and make 'em our friends? If not, just turn 'em off."
[01:27]	Elektron	thinks for a second "You said you were trying to get stuff to help a town?"
[01:28]	Elektron	he said, still staring at the computer screen
[01:28]	Ragebrew	"Correct. Busted Flats, my home."
[01:28]	Elektron	"Well, would a bunch of protectaponies and pacification bots help?"
[01:29]	Ragebrew	"Depends. Will they flip out on them?"
[01:30]	Elektron	shakes his head "Not if I do this correctly. Not many left anyway, but every little bit, right?"
[01:30]	Ragebrew	"Stay here. Shut them down if there are more on the other side of that door, just shut them all down if ya can't make 'em our friends." She trotted to the large door, and opened it.
[01:33]	Rabtar	the next room was the storage room proper, everything in a disorganized heap, looking as if it had all started when the buffalo had started unloading the place. Off to the side are the chard remains of of a buffalo, he had spent his last breath trying to cut a cable of some sort with a fire are.
[01:34]	Ragebrew	sighed, looking around the room slowly before calling back "It's clear in here. Just a mess. A very big mess..."
[01:35]	Elektron	peaks over from the terminal
[01:36]	Merciful_Devotion	peeks in. "Yikes..."
[01:36]	Ragebrew	set Long down, and went about the slow process of looking over everything. "So! Mister Wizard, what are we looking for down here?"
[01:37]	Rabtar	this area is beyond his control, there will be no answer
[01:38]	Ragebrew	groaned. "Alright ladies, this is what we came for. Gimme a hoof sifting through it. Midnight, if ya need a nap, nows the time. This'll take a bit..."
[01:39]	Elektron	follows inside, trying to help sort through the mess
[01:39]	Merciful_Devotion	nods and goes to help Rage sort things.
[01:39]	Midnight_Hour	nods, yawns, unrolls her sleeping bag, wipes away the sweat and grime on her coat with a wet rag, and then settles in for a nap.
[01:40]	Rabtar	they spend a few hours shifting through the stuffs, finding roughly half of what was mentioned, but none of the dreaded belts
[01:42]	Ragebrew	looked around a few times. "So they took all the harnesses then? Odd to be the main thing they grab... Oh well. All for the better I guess." She looked around further... For some cheese.
[01:45]	Rabtar	after a thorough search of the stable, our group never never did find P-86 or his hidden treasure. The Mr. Handy bots had gone back to there normal task of cleaning. The stable wasn't perfect but it had many treasures that could help those topside....
[01:45]	Ragebrew	grumbles, finding nothing. "Guess it was another lie. Oh well. Leave anything that we can't use right now. We will ferry it out later, once we aren't under threat of mental robot. Speakin off, where would be he down here?"
