Scenario B
Participants:
Junkman (RPD)
Freezeman (SA)
Fatal Five (7M)(W)
Slashman (DM)(C)
Location: Berlin
Max. Cossack Scrap Value: 9793
SA Infantry: 1317
RPD Units: 1175
Wily Bots: 667
A group of robots was patrolling through the devastated cities
of Berlin. After the intervention of the Ascendant Androids, the
expression "dead town" described the place very well.
Leading them, five Robot Masters. They suffered the biggest humiliation
recently, and must now cooperate with the Devil himself.
Riff thought back of the last days. After a successful victory
to the SA, he and the other Wily-Bots were forced to collaborate
with them - or Dr Wily would suffer a painful fate. This, they
couldn't accept.
They stopped their patrol for a few minutes, with some Scissor
Joes standing near - close enough to shoot them down if they did
a rebellious gesture.
At the beginning of the War, the Fatal Five thought defeating the
SA would be a matter of weeks. Now, they had lost, and lived for
as long as they could help the SA.
Something caught Riff's eye : Karasû, one of his teammates, was
motioning the Fatalists to get closer to him. he gave each of them
a small medallion, a metallic F set on a red-blood V - their "logo".
"I put some protection charms in these", explained the
wizard-bot.
"It may come in handy."
As they put it on, they felt ... warmer. Was the spell already
having effect ?
It was confirmed when one of the drones reported a lone Cossacker
had been spotted. The Fatal five didn't like taking on people in
inferiority, but ...
"It's him or us." stated Warpman. That, and the death
of a Cossacker could please the General, and such, affect Wily's
survival.
Riff commanded the Joe Officer to patrol with his men, while the
whole Wily force would take on the lone robot.
With any luck, the destruction of the loner would help them to
take the pain of defeat away. For a while.
--------------------
Slashman was quite happy with the spot he found. No one bothered visiting Berlin since the big show, and the open streets were like a supermarket to him.--------------------
'Men!' Junk roared out. 'Take out those Wily scum! Let me handle those five buffoons over there, got it?'--------------------
They were in a dark, seemingly underground place. They could barely see in front of them, until Karasû lit an end of his staff.--------------------
Slashman came out first through the Warp Gate only to arrive at some underground location that even he didn't know about. Just behind him was Junkman, who managed to give chase to the fleeing Cossack bot.--------------------
Deep in the factory, there was the unlikeliest being ever in a SA-controlled factory. It was a regular man wearing a costume. He was sitting in a rather comfortable chair, and his eyes were closed, as if he was meditating.--------------------
On the surface, the RPD force was confused. Their leader had disappeared through an energy portal minutes ago, and didn't reappear since.--------------------
Fear was following the explorers as they went deeper. The group of now seven robots was going downer in the factory, in search for an exit. Many times, they were close to being caught by a patrol of Joes. Many times, they nearly died of an "heart attack", as a Siege Joe went in their sight and left it.--------------------
Riff and Junkman were following Tillman for a minute already when they lost sight of him. They had entered a rather cosy -and out of place- hallway. All but one door were closed.--------------------
Freezeman was staring at his five enemies, and no one dared to do the first move. Until Slashman yelled :--------------------
After a few minutes of "exploring", all Junkman and Riff had found on the computer was a single file, protected by a password - and attempted everything that came to their mind, and related to the psychic monster. From the obvious - "mesmerman" and "thaddeus" - to the obscure - "rothenburg", "monsteropolis" or "penchinon".--------------------
