"Am I okay? Do I need a spine adjustment?"
Am I okay? Do I need a spine adjustment?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
"You are continuing to talk and breathe, which means there is a 46% chance you are marginally okay! The second half of your inquiry, however, is a false question - there is always a need for a spinal adjustment!"

Adjust spine (in a beneficial manner) and then see if I can't use my automop in reverse or something to suck up the soapy water, allowing Ed and me to make our way to the others in an isolated puddle of dryness surrounded by soap! Y'know, dry in front, soap up behind.

Spoiler: EEED (click to show/hide)

EEED explains to Burt that spinal adjustments aren't about "Back cracking" or anything like that. He then cracks Burt's back about 2 dozen times. If it has any benefit, its not immediately obvious, but Burt can still feel his legs so there's that.

Together the both of them reconnect with the main group, EEED's automop somewhat soaking up the water and spraying soap behind them as they walk.

"Oh, god damn it!  You bastards brought me back to this fucking place?  I just got to escape hell scot free, and you... put me in this body.  Huh.  Hahaha!  I can spin the gatling gun!  Oh my god, this is fucking AWESOME, holy shit!"

Run diagnostics on self.  What are Wilfred's current stats?  Current life?  Current damage dice?  Current available weapons?

Enable 5 FPS mode, and speech to text.  Disable hearing.  Also disable hearing, smell, and taste, if any of those are actually senses possessed by this bot.

Follow team otherwise.

Wil-bot turns its FPS down and enables speech to text hearing. He does not have traditional senses of smell, taste, or touch and decides that the analogs (Pressure sensors, particulate sensor, etc) are sufficiently different to prevent enthrallment.

Time to follow his own advice, Larry will search for the next sector (but only if a sizable portion of the group is going with him), staying clear of any detours and making sure to use WICKED WORLD to appear big, mean and generally not worth the trouble compared to his smaller, weaker, easier to chew human shields fellow co-workers.

Also Larry will put on the Isolation Suit and activate all isolationery features, he's pretty sure he's immune but if the target went mad due to psych feedback he's also pretty sure his pay would get docked.

Stay with the group no matter what happens, and be ready to shoot all the hostile things.
Spoiler: Dead man walking (click to show/hide)
So can we assume this sector is 'secure' as long as we stay in the water and aren't alone, also for any return trip?

Assuming the group moves along with me, go search for the door to the next sector. Don't open it yet and don't let others open it yet either, especially not with any destructive methods, we don't want to accidentally paste our target and make this all for nothing.

Oh, and if needed, quickly fashion some sort of strap of backpack or something so robo!Wil can drag his old inventory along with him. Or just put that stuff in the hammer space until we figure out what to do with it.


"Next sector is where our target was last spotted. Let's make sure we are all ready and have all the sensory deprivation crap up and running before we open that door. Wil, don't forget your new body probably still needs to activate reduced framerate and text-to-speech stuff and whatnot. "


Spoiler: Yagyu d'Aubigny (click to show/hide)
Yagyu considers the situation. [3] Yeah...these sprinklers will probably remain on forever. And this place probably won't flood or anything.  Its fine.

Yagyu dumps Wil-bot's inventory onto Wil-bot's Fat ass rear tread cover and the group heads out with Isolation suited Larry in the lead. They find the door to the next sector without getting mauled by invisible Crocodiles but it isn't a promising find. The door isn't locked but...well someone has written "WELCOME HOME" on it in blood.

"Thanks buddy, that felt great!"
Test my back. Do some stretches. Figure out the "not immediately obvious" benefits of having my spine so wonderfully adjusted.

Edit: Be ready to duck and cower behind teammates the moment a door opens though.

"Hey F U C K I N G  W I L F R E D old buddy old pal, as the most useful and reliable of us all I think you should go first."

Larry will get the fuck out of dodge of the door and try and use some demonic humanic bad juju to see if there's anything behind it. Like a weirdo with psych powers and a bad attitude, Larry will also make sure to warn his teammates if there is someone or something behind that door and get ready to punch anything that tries jumping his teammates, except if the one it's jumping is F U C K I N G  W I L F R E D

"Well then gang, this is it, our target should be beyond this door somewhere. I dunno what kind of tricks he might have up his sleeve, let's go take him down carefully so he can't get to any of us, and non-lethally so the Auditors don't get to us either."

Shoo away anybody who doesn't have the full sensory deprivation suit/countermeasures up and running, at least away from the immediate opening of the door.

then first scan the door/doorway to see if I can pick up anything suspicious, like trace amounts of chemicals that might indicate the other side of the door is trapped with explosives or something like that.

If nothing comes up, open the door but only a little bit and stick the environment scanner through the gap to take a picture/short video of what is immediately behind (if video watch or record at a safe framerate).

"Yeah, fuck you, Larry.  And fuck Derp.  Both of you fuckers!  Worthless meatbag trash, I'll kill you both, slowly.  And painfully.  Sew you together, so you can suffer together, Derp-Larry the fucking fuck-fuck!  FUCK!  Why am I still in this fucking place?  I hope when I die I explode and take all of you with me..."

Is the guardbot's AI still active in this body?  Can I set it to have full normal-speed vision, while either disabling my own, or keeping mine at 0.2 FPS?  If so, do that, and let it have control of the guns.

Otherwise, stay at 0.2 FPS, and stay at the front of the group.  Let whoever open the door, and immediately open fire on whatever is behind it.  Or tell the robot AI to do so.  And continually cuss out both Derp and Larry the entire time.

EEED continues to rattle off a seemingly preprogrammed list of the many benefits of chiropractic care, a significant portion of which he appends by saying 'asterisk'. This automated ramble continues as EEED decides to fulfil his janitorial duties.

Clean the blood off the door, that's unsanitary. Let the people who are actually in charge of escorting our target (who clearly just needs his chakras aligned) do their thing, though - if I get asked to move, I'm moving.

[1]

From within his metal shell, the electronic consciousness that was Wilfred comes up with a Brilliant idea.  He digs around in the bot's old programing and sets up a kind of relay system by which the robot views the world. He will sit back on the robot's proverbial shoulders and provide guidance while the bot does the work- and looking around and other possibly dangerous direct sensing- for him. It is a foolproof plan that cannot fail!

...

Where it immediately fails is in the target designation. Apparently Wilfred's paranoia and desire to murder got the better of him and he left the "target" definition rather dangerously open to interpretation. Lets see if we can find the protocol....Ah here it is.

1. Walks on two legs
2. Or possibly on four if pretending to be a dog.
3. Looks like a bitch
4. Might have a company ID, don't be fooled!
5. A dumb fucking asshole.
6. Breathing, for the moment.
7. Probably smug.

The battlebot takes these 7 distinct protocols, discards 3 of them because it doesn't understand, and then runs with the remaining 4. It analyzes the situation and then begins reacting as it was programmed.

[2,2,5,5,6,7,2,2]

Yagyu, Ji, Burt and EEED, notice the battle bot turning towards the group, its chain guns spinning up to speed. This causes them to become concerned. When the robot begins randomly listing out expletives from the prepared database that wilfred created, their concern is elevated further. It is somewhere around "JIMMINY CRICKET PRICK BITCH!" that all four dive behind  the cover of a wall.  The others are...less quick to react.

[5,2,8,1]

The Robot opens fire in the enclosed confines of the door antechamber with a rumbling roar. Edward, already on edge, dives for cover in absolute terror without even understanding what's going on.  Pathos springs into the air like a startled cat and clings to the ceiling. Larry and Richter, perhaps unfamiliar with non-occult threats, do not react accordingly. [10 v 2,2]

After maybe a second or so of concentrated fire, Larry and Richter appear to have been replaced with mushy red coleslaw.

[5]

From within his metal body Wilfred gets a display of "Two Targets killed".  For a moment he is quite happy. Then he wonders how the bot could have killed the singular target twice.

Then he starts getting very worried.

"WILFRED WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK."

Shoot a private text message to Pathos:

Dear spiderfriend,

Can you shut him the fuck down before he murders us all?!

xoxo, Yagyu

Stay in cover for now. If that robot comes closer without a VERY clear and unambiguous signal/sign from Wil that he has regained control, or a confirmation from Pathos, shoot the robot with the prototype gun. A lot.

If we do get such a signal, wave my arm around the corner for a second to see if it doesn't get shot off, if not go grab what those poor souls had on them (and that hasn't been pulped to mush). And see if the door to the next sector got compromised.
