"That's not good."  Roger hurries up, and if he is in that cage tries to hold it in position.

[mesor]

Continue to the tower in the second cage, assist with keeping the cage stable.

[Pancaek]

"The cage is making funny noises, how adorably horrifying. I sure hope I'll get toasted evenly if-...when this cage gives out."

go slightly faster, enjoying the madness of it all

[Zako]

Keep moving, we're almost there!

[piecewise]

The team continues on, the men in the first cage pressing outwards and trying to hold it steady as they run. And then, as though stepping through an invisible wall, the storm is gone. Above them, the arches have merged together an formed a single roof and now they stand in what looks like a tunnel of sorts, or a covered walkway. It's almost pitch black in here, the what light gets through the storm being blocked by the roof overhead and no one can see anything except the dull light of the entrance.

Team 1's cage finally breaks apart, failing in several places as they set it down. Hmm.

[Radio Controlled]

Get out of the cage, put on light amps. If that's not enough, put them out and use the suit's flashlight instead.
Check condition of the first cage, could it be repaired? If not, get moving for the center.

[mesor]

Get out of cage 2 and search the area.

[Zako]

Bishop lifted the cage up enough to slip out underneath it, fingering his gauss rifle as he looked around.

"Gentlemen, welcome to the whirlwind."

Seeing the ruins of the first cage, he shakes his head sadly.

"I should have reinforced that... Didn't know there would be strong winds like that... "

See what I can do to fix or make a new cage, checking the buildings nearby. Then head forward cautiously.

[Draxis]

Roger activates his light amplifiers and looks around the area while staying near the group. 

[Tavik Toth]

Turn light amps on and scout toward the entrance.

"I'll scout ahead for threats."

[piecewise]

The team, Save for Bishop and Leon, activate their light amps and look around. The walls of the massive arched hallway around them are completely covered in robots; hundreds of them, both builder and war in seemingly endless varieties of shape and size, curled up and hanging from mechanical hooks and arms. High above a large, crane like central arm lies dormant and still on a ceiling mounted track that stretches the length of the visible ceiling.

And standing all around, peering out from the distant shadows or down from high catwalks with masses of shining, distressingly organic eyes, are copies of the robot the team encountered in the storm. There are dozens of them, all watching, standing or crouching, overlarge human-like organic limbs flexing ever so slightly while heavy metal bodies remain still.

The team, minus bishop and Leon, freeze,  sucking in a startled and fearful breath, while Bishop blunders into the remains of the cage and Leon promptly wanders blindly in zigzagging patterns across the room.

[mesor]

Return to the group and hold my rifle ready.

[Tavik Toth]

Wave then move on.

[Radio Controlled]

'Everybody. Be. Careful. Don't make sudden movements. Leon, Bishop, use your damn light amps.'

Slowly start going forward while dragging Leon with me by his arm, keeping an eye on the robot-organics (roboganics?). If anyone wants to try and fix the cage first, wait for them.

(( Do I still have one? I don't have my bag and I ditched my suit once it got torn to pieces. ))
