**Tyranic Marta**

"No he was the one who told us the rules of this training exercise, weve completed the task now he should let us carry on"

**Eckeon**

Ahh. Should watch those others just to be safe. Guess we should collect the rest of the group.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Raven moved up after scouting the area. He then press on, looking for structures, any way to get inside a building.

**Tyranic Marta**

"The group? The only reason I'm letting you tag along is that your here already... You do realise that at some point we may very well meet each other in an arena? Dont you think it would be a good Idea not to make friendships?"

He shakes his head before moving swiftly through the underbrush.
"If you find them on the way, by all means bring them with us, I wouldnt wish boredom on anyone."

(shas) You trek swiftly for about 500 metres where yo come to an abrupt stop, a tall blue wall with veins of light running over it blocks your way its strongly reminiscent of the architecture of the hallways you saw before, you walk along it for a few minutes but fond nothing that represents a door.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Oh, god," Falco mumbles, before hearing a slight buzzing in some places of the wall.

Slowly, and carefully, he puts his hand up to these parts...

**Eckeon**

"I get that but at the moment I thought we were working together, but ok."
I keep my distance but follow Tyranic through the brush We eventually come upon the sniper from earlier, standing at a blue "marble" wall the "veins" commonly seen in marble here were made of light it seems.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

OOC: Oi! Get away from my marble!

IC: Raven notices footsteps coming up from behind him, and turn to see the two me from earlier.

"It's funny. I could swear you two walked away in completely the opposite direction."

**Eckeon**

"I was followin him." points at Tyranic. "So uh, ya figured out what it does yet?"

**Tyranic Marta**

"Looks like were walking in circles... This place is disorienting. I suggest we split up and try to keep our bearings each heading in a different direction. The frst person to find an exit... well theyve found the exit.

He spots the Snipers hand on the wall and sees the faint vibrations.
"Whats up with the wall?"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"There must be a way through it, because some people must obviously come through here," Raven says pushing his hand in deeper and turning it. "See?" he says as the wall starts to fold itself outwards, creating an entrance.

He spots the other two staring in mild surprise.

"You first."

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic nods,
"I wouldnt have it any other way... although you do have a shotgun..."
He grins before drawing his SMG's holding them before him in a steady manner he moves cautiously down the corridor expecting something to jump out at them at any moment. However something... else happens.

The trio (Well lets say that Myoji and LCK's chars also tagged along shall we?) walk forwards and the wall behind them seals shut. The sniper tries to open it but fails
"Were locked in."
"Forwards it is then. Lets go."

Tyranic moves more swiflty now, not worried about caution as he clears corridor after corridor, the twisting lanes seem to double back on themselves and cross over one anouther without actually intersecting. Marta briefly wonders what a floorplan of the system would look like when he and the other two open out onto a large domed room with a single large insectoid droid in the centre. The droids single cyclopean red eye is pulsing faintly in the dim light.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I have a feeling it it shut down. Or recharging or something," Raven said, moving forward beyond the group, his shotgun ready. "No reason to wake it up."

**Tyranic Marta**

"Indeed..."
Marta walks cautiously around the edge of the room with his weapons leveled at the droid. He goes to take a step sideways but finds his way impeded by a clear wall. The thin layer of what appears to be glass seems to run the entire room at the centre, the droid bisecting it neatly.

**Eckeon**

"Hmm so the only way through is... through the drone, nice." *grumbles* "What are the odds of getting close enough to it to sabatoge it before it wakes?" I look intently on all possible joints and then the eye... that thing just screams laser beam.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Raven wields his shotgun, and gets up close to the sleeping droid, just to put it right up against its head.

"There iss always this way."

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic looks amused at the sniper.
"If the thing is dormant... which personally I dont think it is. Why do you think it would be so vulnerable?"

He raises his weapons in preparation.
"Oh and to answer your question. No i dont think we can sabotage it."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I think, that we have two options. First, is if it really is the only thing standing in our way, I could blow it up right now, and we would be able to move through the complex, but have the risk of alerting everything else in this facility," Raven said, stepping away from the droid, and moving near the walls. "Or, we could study this place, see if we could find a way through, but maybe have the droid wake up and pounce on our backs. We could lose a few men, and we may not even get through. I know which option I prefer."

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic nods,
"The first option."

He signals the group to spread out in preparation for the coming fight and looks askance at the Sniper.
"When you're ready boy"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"One thing, don't call me boy, seeing as you don't even know my age," Raven says jokingly, before moving over to the stationary droid. "Prepare yourself, for I fear it will nod take one shot, even with this shotgun," before putting the weapon to the back of what appears to be the head of the droid, and firing point blanc range.

**Tyranic Marta**

The droids head rips downwards sharply cutting of Marta's reply and the soldier immediatly begins firing at the limb joints of the massive bot. Disabling a couple of its 6 legs almost instantly with carefully aimed shots. The shotgun blast had placed a large hole in the droids head but the thing still was active, although its eye was severly damaged. On of its legs kicks the sniper aside but feels the pain of the mans shotgun on its underbelly as he fires back reflexivley. Myoji dives into the fight hacking at the droids legs disabling a second pair and the bot's upper sections fall to the ground as it struggles to balance. Benjamin fires hails of shots directed at the droids weapon mounts disabling several before suddenly they explode violently some kind of ammunition resovoir clearly breached.

The men stop to reload as the sniper disables the last two legs and Marta moves forwards shooting a long but controlled burst into the droids neck severing it and finally the droid falls limp.

The clar wall abruptly shatters and the shards dissapear into blueish light as they would hit the ground.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Well, that was exhilarating," Raven chuckles. "Now, be my guest," he says, motioning to the many ways onward.

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic takes the cue and reloads before moving forwards. His footfalls uncompromising and steady. Although quite loud. He sees the sniper wince at the lack of stealth and the old soldier grins.

He gets to the corridor at the far end and looks through and is instantly a bit stunned. The small room with a single chair before a bank of cumputers seems to have been abandoned. With quite some haste. A spilt cup of room temperature liquid was spilled over the ground and several bullet casings were on the ground. The smell of old cordite hung in the air.

"Any of you computer savvy?"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I have had some experience in my time. You have to in my line of work," Raven says, moving over to sit by the computer. "Aww, great. The entire system is shut down. I will need you to help me a little by finding the power boxes around, and turn them on. In the meantime, the entire place is dead."

**Eckeon**

"Well that explains the sleeping drone." Looking around the room," Don't see any other entrances from here, maybe behind the stacks. Any ideas?"

**Tyranic Marta**

Marta goes to the wall and runs his hands over the surface suddenly he stops and presses firmly against the wall and a rack of batteries come out. He grimaces in distaste at the Electricity arcing of one of them and shots a shot into it knocking it out of the row. Pushing the system back in the computers boot up

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

OOC: Oh, I was hoping for you going deeper in the facility, powering up some boxes (because for some reason the system in here is REALLY old), and Raven could fight some dudes who come to him while you're down there...

... oh well...

IC: "There! The systems back up and running! I can try and access all the records stored in here."

**Tyranic Marta**

"Well do tell us whats happeneing? Why cant we finish the exercise?"

**Eckeon**

"Well that was quick. I'll go watch the door just incase someone comes back to why the systems back up." Move to the door and hold position on the hinge side.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"It seems they had a near system wipe. Tried to delete all the files on the system. Like and emergency evacuation. But there are still some audio, video, and text logs. As far as I can see, its something to do with 'the system rebelling'. Something to do with the droids?" Raven asked nervously.

**Eckeon**

"Marvelous, anybody got an EMP gun we'll make it quick."
