((Bad rolls all around this turn...))
<<Something's approaching the coilgun building from below! Anyone available to check it out? I'm about to shoot out its knee!>>
Load that canshell and shoot out its knee.
((Oh man, what if my coilgun got Tsared?))
((Indeed. What if?))
You fire. You don't see any damage on the BETA. You do see an explosion on the roof of a building near it. Huh. Wonder what you hit.
The BETA is flying your way, firing its rockets at full power. And it looks like it has raised its armored dome-fist, ready to punch. You can also see that the dome-fist is glowing with some inner light through the sensor helmet. You don't have more than 20 seconds before it gets here.
Try tsaring it again, and drive towards the BETA full speed.
((Uh oh.))
You grab the joystick and focus on Tsaring the vehicle. Well, it works. In a way. The control stick extends and before you can react it hits you in the chest. Hard. You think you heard something crack.
Despite the pain, you manage to remain conscious.
It hurts every time you move.
<So that's what happens if you click the links in those spam mails.>
Consume many more cans, then grow to as large a size I can with this form.
I better not be in the science lab eating chemicals.
You greedily eat all of the orange mush you can and then proceed to crack open another container. Ouch. That one is filled with empty glass vials. You cut yourself with one of them. Not to worry though, it's just a scratch.
You hear an explosion coming from upstairs.
((You just had to ask.))
"Aw."
Sure. Also, toss some rubble at the sphere thingy.
You throw a piece of concrete at the drone but it sees it coming and fires a burst of its thrusters to get out of the way.
Before you can manage to teleport away, there's a flash of light from the drone and you feel like something stabbed you on your right thigh.
You scream in pain, grab your leg and fall down in pain but retain consciousness. You can feel that a chunk of it is missing. You can feel the blood and the molten flesh sliding through your fingers.
You hear the engines of a spaceplane behind you. And then there's the sound of an explosion from that very same place. You feel something hit you in the head, there's more pain, pain filling everything and then there's only darkness.
Jordan shook his head and focused. He couldn't switch off now, that would be bad. He looked at the scene. John seemed okay, even though the giant robot was charing right at him. He had a coilgun and would be fine. However, the little girl (What was her name? Some movie star sounding name. What was wrong with parents nowadays? Back in the 90s and early 2000s that sort of shit was contained solely to rich people) had gotten herself trapped. Well, he could get some brownie points for rescuing a six year old girl, even if she could handle herself. He flew in a dashing manner toward Angel.
Fly towards Angel to lend some support. Open the co-pilot and pilot windows, then activate adrenaline surge and shoot at the drones. If they are dead, ask her to get in.
You fly towards the rooftop Angel is on. You can see her standing there, a drone in front of her.
The drone emits a flash of light and Angel falls down, holding a bloody hole in her right leg.
Another spaceplane approaches the rooftop from behind, but it suddenly explodes. Some of the debris from the exploding spaceplane hit Angel, but you assume she's still alive, since you didn't hear your Interface announce her death. The drone manages to avoid getting hit by the pieces of exploded spaceplane. Lucky drone. Let's see if you can do something to end that luck.
You reach down and pull the emergency canopy jettison lever, twist it and then push it back in again. An explosion removes the canopy from the spaceplane, giving you a clear shot.
You slow the spaceplane down, activate the hover thrusters to maintain your height and fire a three round burst at the drone. Its thrusters stop working and it falls towards the streets of the city below.
