Deciding that the target probably doesn't have a A-S implant, Malcom leave his stunner set to stun and fires. The blast hits the Yazarian full in the chest. He staggers for a moment and then seems to shake it off (No A-S implant, direct hit, made STA check).
Simultaneous with Malcom's shot, the two combat robots hurl Tangler grenades at the trio. The grenades land directly on either side of the three pirates and envelope a 5x3 meter area in front of the door. The Dral on the right is caught completely off-guard and is wrapped up in the web. The Yazarian tries to duck out of the way but Malcom's stunner blast delayed him just enough that he too was caught. The Dral on the left, however, manages to dodge the grenades effects and comes at Malcom with his sonic sword.
Seeing the pirates charging toward Malcom and the combat robots, the security robots on the wings raise their laser rifles and each fire off two 10SEU shots, with each 'bot targeting one of the pirates. Both shots slam into the Dral on the right just as it is engulfed in the tangler threads. No screen flashes and it slumps over inside the threads. Malcom's stunner blast seems to have thrown the 'bot's aim off as well as both shots at the Yazarian miss. The first of the two shots hits the other dral. Again, there is no flash of an albedo screen and the dral grunts in agony as the 10 SEU blast rips through its body (50pts).
The Dral closes with Malcom and takes a swing with it's Sonic Sword. Despite all the odds, it connects and connects well and Malcom feels the agony of the sonic weapon ripping through his body (40pts of damage, 13 STA left)
Ting and the security bot continue through the garage into the machine shop again finding it clear.
The security bot replies to Gren's question, "Certainly, sir, I am perfectly capable of handling a recoilless rifle." Getting a positive response, Gren hands over the weapon and head into the Dart. The robot continues along with B'Loone and the other maintenance robots towards the garage.
Maria, B'Loone and Leo all hear a muffled "Tanglers" that sounded like Malcom on the far side of the warehouse. Realizing he's probably engaged more pirates, they all take off toward his position. However, it will be a couple of round before they get there.
Despite the pain, Malcom sees that the Dral is in even worse shape than he is. Abandoning all pretense at finesse or style, Malcom cuts loose with his martial arts training and catches the dral with a backhanded blow. The final hit is more than the Dral can handle and it crumbles to the ground.
Breathing heavy through the pain, Malcom surveys the scene. The two drals are down. The Yazarian is tangled up and cussing up a storm, and Malcom wants to just sit down and rest. The other robots approach, covering the Yazarian. Ting and his 'bot emerge from the back side of the maintenance building just as Maria comes out of the alleyway and Leo burst through the door behind Malcom.
"Caught one." Malcom says, gesturing toward the Yazarian in the webbing. He then sits down and starts rummaging through is pack for some biocort to apply first aid. (+10 points back up to 23 STA).
This post covered 3 turns so elapsed time is now 66 turns, Sebastian is 120m out and getting just a little winded
, Gren is now in the Dart and manning the Pod Laser and B'Loone is still on the tarmac just west of the RedBox shuttles. Maria and 'Ting are at the north end of the space between the buildings and Leo is right there with Malcom and the 5 robots.
