Let's try this again[Sci-fi ascii-draw adventure]
« on: February 10, 2010, 07:09:48 pm »

As your ship approaches it's destination, a abandoned pirate mining and refining plant, you see red sirens go off at the base.

Your commander says, "Shit."

You say, "Oh damnit. They know we're here. I guess the drones are inside, huh?"

Your commander resumes his normal composure.
"Yes, yes, the abandoned drones are still awake it seems. I don't think we should have much of a problem wi-"

BOOM
BOOM
BOOM

"Emergency oxygen protocols established. In-Suit atmosphere online."
Fingering around in the depths of the cold space, you realize you had suited up for the boarding as there was going to be spots of the station that had lost all life support by now. Lucky you, huh? Not so much your commander. The rail-gun blast blew a small hole in the ship, and at this point the shrapnel is floating around, and you remember your regiments commlink. 1391.30, grid AB, encryption: aO0293AKDudjalkdlaouivDA0102.

You grasp for you pistol and manage to take it out of it's holster. It's loaded, and you've got about another clip for it. You were going to get armed with rifles in the airlock.

You rotate 360 degrees and spot a door northwest of you.

"Crew this is the helmsman speaking. Shields going online in T-minus 10 seconds to protect against drones and hull leaks. Any of you outside of the ship, get the fuck in."

Maybe this is a futuristic pistol that is of a type not currently in existance, and it has an ammo loading device they call a "clip".

What is this clip that they speak of?

Anyways, go find the rifles you were previously going to get.

You shoot opposite of the ship, and float inside before a weird invisible barrier is seen. Electricity is contained in the barrier, bouncing around like the clouds of venus. A broken shard of steel floats by the spot you were just in.

You walk to the NW door and peer in.

Shit. Drones, and all the pretty-faced non-grunts inside are dead.

BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
...
...
BOOM
BOOM
.
BOOM

The intercomn overhead comes Online.
"This is Staff Sergeant Betir, everyone is to report to the auxilary bridge. We are setting up a defensive position there to make a run to the escape pods-One thing high command didn't tell us is that apparently, pretty much all of the pirate drones are alive, and very well functioning. Once all of you arrive i'll explain further, but first we need to setup a defensive position before we can make the sprint to the escape pods. Betir out."

The drones inside condense, and after much charge finishes flowing through them, they unwravel to form a mech. About human-sized.

Do you mean that drones have invaded the ship? If so,

Agnosticism uses the crotch grab + pelvic thrust.

Yes, drones have invaded the ship. Will post this in a little bit.

You ready your pistol. Up, aimed towards the door, you burst in!

(52)You get first shot.
(27)You miss your shot.
(58)You strike the drone in the motherboard, and it overheats, causing it to explode and send shrapnel flying everywhere.
 (79)You dodge a piece of shrapnel.
 (2)A enemy drone moves out of the way of a flying piece of steel.
 (79)A drone is struck by a piece of steel in the barrel, and it deactivates.
 (93)A drone is struck by a piece of shrapnel, going straight through it. Charge circuits out of it and it flys down, deactivated.
(96)You raise your pistol and fire a bullet at the drone, striking it.

"Alert.. Motherboard failure.. Failure to comply with goals.. ajsj91kdja;alfnvl; Error; Error"
It then slowly sifts down, with a Red light on it, and the control panel pops open.. Maybe you can hack into it? Control it to your whims maybe?
