[Empiricist]

((They're the things in a pile on the doorstep. They're ghostly orbs the size of a medicine ball. Quite stealthy. Except when they're stacked in a pile right in front of a room full of enemies in broad daylight.))

[kj1225]

((That wasn't noted. It was three of the non-drones a CQC, and two physics breakers.))

[Empiricist]

((It was, he called them 'recon bots' though. Also, none of them are CQC. There are two physical warfare units and one supernatural warfare unit.))

A vaguely humanoid being of amorphous form, it consists of flowing streams of an assortment of mundane substances with the majority seeming to be asphalt and cement. Small rigid plates of dull black coloration ride these currents, randomly concentrating and dispersing, forming transient armor pieces over the seemingly liquid form of its wearer whilst a pellucid metallic crystal occasionally surfaces from where its face should be. The barrel of a gun with an inbuilt pair helical rails is visible within the grasp of the figure, the rest of the firearm is difficult to examine due to being partially fused with the creature's hand, though the streamlined, compact construction and drum magazine are evident. Fleeting glimpses of additional magazines may be caught in the brief moments where they bob up from within its forearm. Resting in a hip-mounted scabbard is what appears to be a twin-bladed sword, however, odd the grip and presence of rearrangable components suggests that it may be usable as a firearm as well.

A wide gun-barrel not unlike those found on infantry-portable artillery pieces rests upon the shoulder of the figure, seemingly merged with the hand that held it. Its other hand has the benefit of greater delineation, owing to the taloned gauntlet encasing it. The metallic frame possesses an unearthly aura, the fingertips tracing thin, bright lines into the air whilst a dim white glow emanates from its palm.

A translucent orb the size of a medicine ball, slowly undulating with invisible forces.

((Ah, got the composition wrong in my head. Two CQC, and one physics breaker. And a pile of ghostly medicine balls.))

[Empiricist]

((Actually 3 physics breaking CQCs That gauntlet works perfectly well in melee range.))

"Everyone close your eyes"

Stella pulls out a small ball of netting, filled with magnesium strips, throws it at the constructs then ignites it with her breath, closing her own eyes

[Empiricist]

((Huh, I just realized that only two of the constructs can actually do shit. The Ryan household's antimagic field is going to make the AAD completely useless against anything inside. Now we just need to find out that the constructs were incorrectly given an Objective to 'eliminate everything' and are instead off committing warcrimes against civilians than actually fighting ))

((anti-magic only blocks creation magic, and wall street magic is not the same as creation magic because reasons.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((Except the field extends to ALL magic because of the upgrades by it's creator and Abraxas back in v2.))

[Empiricist]

((anti-magic only blocks creation magic, and wall street magic is not the same as creation magic because reasons.))

((I know that. However, Adaptive Arcane Dischargers use explicitly use Creation Magic. So only their Field Lances and Directional Flashbangs will function.))

((Except the field extends to ALL magic because of the upgrades by it's creator and Abraxas back in v2.))

((If I recall correctly, it extends to all things called magic. Twilight realm stuff is classified as eldritch fuckery. Hence why the constructs haven't spontaneously dissipated by now.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((Point taken. ))

[Empiricist]

((Though I have a feeling that if they collapsed into tripping hazards, they'd be more dangerous than they are now ))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((To be fair, they invaded one of the most heavily defended houses on the planet xD))

[Empiricist]

((They didn't invade it. They haven't gotten inside it yet. You probably want to keep them out, even though I doubt they'll be much of a threat considering the people who deployed and presumably set their behavior aren't exactly the apex of brilliance, streams of railgun rounds fired faster than a metalstorm tend to ruin furniture rather quickly.))

[Projeck37]

Ashley throws a medium size ball of void energy at one of the physical constructs.
