I invent that pile driver I've got plans for, equipped on the scavenger bot as a heavy melee weapon.
[4+1=5] You decide to use whatever's left of the parts you've collected and get to work. [Power:2] It comes out a little lighter and slower than you intended, but oh well. [Size:5] Woah, uhh... good thing the bot is so big. Even so, it will have to use two hands to swing this thing. [Functionality:4] It works pretty well, if you ever decide to use it as something else than a club. [Fuel:4] It is quite efficient in it's use of fuel. [6] The bot takes the massive machine and somehow manages to still stay in the air.
Some Mechanical Parts removed from Inventory!Some Scrap Metal removed from Inventory!I create plans for a personal shield generator.
[3] You make plans for a personal shield generator. [+1 to inventing this, etc] You also take the grenade Derek offers you.
High Explosive Grenade added to Inventory! Give Nirur the grenade. Um... I was really depending on those robotic parts.
But GRR ME SMASH TINY COMPUTER so there goes that.
Pick up the scrap.
[1] After handing Nirur your grenade, you attempt to pick up what's left of the robot parts, but fly into another rage and proceed to stomp and break them into even smaller, unusable bits. Everybody else begins to wonder why you hate computer parts so much.
High Explosive Grenade removed from Inventory! I program the greatest AI ever, capable of hacking into anything.
[6] You select a single, very basic AI from the many in the AI Library and begin creating a real AI around it. [Power:6] Even though you don't realize it at first, your creation could bring down entire cities without much effort. When this finally dawns on you, you fall on your knees in a mix of terror and pride. [Size:4] It isn't much larger than the shell you built it around, and remains in the AI Library with it's inactive brothers and sisters. [Functionality:6] There is no chance of the AI ever making a mistake or malfunctioning on it's own. [Fuel: 2] It uses the power supply of the AI Library out quite fast, so you should probably either plug it in somewhere, let it go online or keep it inactive. [Intelligence:5+1(AI Library)=6] Unfortunately, your programming skills prove way too impressive for your own good; the AI is vastly more intelligent than any organic being alive on the planet, and is not bound by any restrictions or laws normal AI's would. It might follow your orders... if you're lucky.
It awaits naming - though it remains to be seen if it will accept any names you give it.
AI Library changed to Active AI Library in Inventory! cancel everything i said about organs. Embrace skarmee instead.
[3] You embrace Skarmee more or less successfully. Yay.
Turn spider bot back on, tell it to pick up computer parts and then get on it and try and run away.
[4] You turn the Spider Bot back on and order it to pick up some computer parts. [2] It fails to reach any before Derek continues his rampage. [3] You manage to climb aboard the bot, and order it to get the hell out of here. It jogs through the big double doors without much hurry. On the other side is a corridor leading up to a crossroads. You see signs pointing to different directions, saying things like 'Storages 7A-69C' and 'Storages 70A-100A'. Someone has also painted an arrow and the words 'break room' to the wall of the corridor leading straight forward. There is also one saying 'Maintenance', but the rest seem to point to different parts of the warehouse complex.

NPC'sHunt.
[5+1=6] The monster lets out a mighty roar, and is suddenly nowhere to be seen. [3][Dodge:2] Derek raises his head just in time to see a pair of razor-sharp, whirring mechanical claws and more teeth than anyone could possibly need. [BP:1][Damage:5+2=6] All of these sink directly into his forehead and neck with such force he's hurled across half the warehouse.
[Survival:6] He doesn't want to end up like Doc Cog or Ochita, though, and struggles on through what should've killed him. He's not up yet though.
Derek:Head: Critically Wounded! Hunt.
[5+1=6] The second beast isn't far behind the first, [10] going after a poor, defenseless crewman, [Dodge:4] who somehow manages to hit the ground as the thing jumps. It goes straight over him and lands on the floor some distance away, snarling in frustration.
What the...
[6] The six nearest men to Derek react instantly, returning fire. [3][5][6][1][5][Dodge:6] It jumps clear of the first shot, [Dodge:4-1=3] but the rest of the six men adjust their aims and continue firing. [BP:3][BP:2][BP:3][Damage:2][Damage:2][Damage:3] The soldiers' guns fail to make any serious wounds to it, though.
[4] A few other soldiers attack the second beast, as well. [6][6][1][4][Dodge:3][BP:1][BP:5][BP:3][Damage:6-1=5][Damage:2-1=1][Damage:2-1=1] It takes a direct hit straight between the eyes, the shot burning through but fur and metal. The two other hits fail to do any damage, though.

Woah, Dragnar, that is one cool AI. You better treat it well unless you want to start a robot war.
Btw, while these things aren't too tough (defensive Power of basic 3), you really don't want to fail any more dodges (offensive Power of 5).
