Another mech comes out of the factory. The mechs stand next to each other.
Eren moves away from the recently deposited robots and continues firing on the factory.
Several shots tear the structure apart, dealing 543 damage to the structure. It explodes, covering its surroundings in lumps of dirty gray metal.
Meanwhile, the roboscorpions start building a structure, using their bodies as the building material. More of them emerge from the ACM.
Well, damn. Maybe it was just a fluke though. Face God moves into Short Range, and assuming arms can move independently of legs, keeps shooting with the Medium Range Carbine.
Again, the shots all bounce off.
Lone wolf Jumps from the ACM and, affter landing on the ground, begins to roll on the ground to get the Robo-scorpions off. If need be She uses her shoulder mount Machineguns.
One breaks fairly easily. The other cuts off a wafer-thin square of armor with a tiny laser and flies back towards the ACM.
((Damn, misread it.))
Ao falls back to a medium range, pulling out the Ragnell rifle and hiding behind cover.
Action: Barrier.
Make that long range.
Trevor does what he has been doing, staying in Medium range.
Trevor isn't able to keep up with the smaller mechs, and suffers range penalties, dealing only 31 damage to the mech. On a side note, said mech is now on fire.
The ASR-066 does what it usually does. Which is to say use the Barrier tactic and try to move into melee range.
((If you haven't noticed, the ASR-066 has no weapons besides its huge fuck-off sword, and you gave us no indication that the mechs would be using Parthian tactics. So this partly your fault for not giving us enough information, you know. Luzia is totally asking for an alternative weapon after this battle, just so you know.))
((deal with it, capitalist))
Nope, they're still faster.
The mechs still in pursuit of the scouts are nearly in range of the supposed defensive line.
"Abort mission. Return to base. You don't stand a chance against the line."
Lethe gritted her teeth as she saw the monster completly ignore her and head towards her companion, quickly she turned and began to chase after the hydra once again bringing Shade's sword down upon one of the creature's necks.
Action: Adaptive Strategy
Lethe lops off one of the Hydra's heads, blood spurting out everywhere.
"Shit, this thing REALLY seems to have a hateboner for me!" Justin fires again while falling back, leading the monster on a chase! (Strategy, overclock!)
Not much of a chase, as the Hydra is faster. It pins him to the ground with some of its remaining heads, repeatedly ramming the cockpit with the other two, for 124 damage.
"Negative Impact, the barrage was unsuccessful. I'm going to need to try something different, keep them distracted."
Using Weapon Overclock, another barrage of gunfire erupts from her rifle, in an attempt to rip the Hydra to shreds.
Dealing 104 damage, she manages to explode another of the Hydra's heads.
