((Can I jump in?))
Joe was tired of scanning through Roanoke video feeds: of those still functioning, he couldn't find Joseph Phoenix, only the rival crew.. and now a security bot closing on them. He jumps in to action. 'Jed, Josh, I am heading for Engineering. Our competition needs saving!'
Deciding the lift would take too long, Joe drops in to maintenance hatch that should lead him to the other crew, he was also searching for a weapon. He had to concentrate; What could he use to slow this bot down?
Ahead. Some insulated pipe sections had fallen from above, while others hung haphazardly. Pausing for a moment he pries the casing from one of his own spare power cells, then wedges it into a pipe end before bridging the safety mechanism: a little fuzzy on this sort of application, Joe figures the next thing touched by his makeshift spear will either receive a sudden, full electric charge, or cause the cell to explode.
Quickening his pace Joe hears a synthesized voice from down the corridor "selecting wide-dispersal fragmentation grenade barrage." 'No... not yet!' he shouts, jumping from the access-way to spot the bot's flank: he must have emerged just outside Engineering.
The next moment was all instinct. As the bot's weapon ports opened, Joe launches himself in to a running slide between and past its legs, stabbing upward with his electro-spear.. aiming for what looks like a critical power junction.
