Rip all of the parts out of the computer except for the processors and rebuild it with the same parts, leaving the processors in for Nirur to use as long as possible.
[3] You can't seem to figure out how to leave the processors still running, so you just remove it from the central computer and begin to disassemble it. [2] You accidentally wreck quite a lot of parts in the process, though. [1] Then you think about rebuilding it so hard your head begins to hurt. Great job!
Miniature Supercomputer removed from Inventory!
A Few Mechanical Parts added to Inventory!
Some Computer Parts increased to Computer Parts in Inventory!
Dazed (-1 to all actions next turn)Help Nirur with the AI
I continue attacking the AIs. Probably with virus trapfiles that look essential or somesuch.
[5][6] You two begin purging the AI's from the systems. Nirur attacks first. [Dodge:1][Dodge:5][Dodge:1][Dodge:6][Dodge:1] Three of the AI's fall prey to his surprise counter-attack. [Damage:3+1=4][Damage:4+1=5][Damage:3+1=4] None of the AI's survive the vicious attack, which overwrites their programming with useless junk code and wipes them off the face of the earth. Now it's Taric's turn. [Dodge:1+1=2][Dodge:6-1=5] He catches one of his targets, [Damage:2] but fails to do any real damage.
Loot the body of my fallen comrade. I'm a mad doctor, it's what we do.
Then, run. Run like a four-armed man holding a sword with his pockets crammed full of organs.
[5] You push Ludd out of the way and kneel over Tor's body. You can't just let your comrade die like that - no, you need to steal his shit first. You quickly grab his weapon and the parts he was carrying and rush towards the door. [2] Unfortunately, while you were taking care of Tor, the cultists moved to surround you. Oh fuck.
Nanogun added to Inventory!
Scrap Metal increased to A Lot of Scrap Metal in Inventory!
A Lot of Mechanical Parts added to Inventory!Feign auto cannibalism and take out o quarter of my liver for later use.
[4] You move into the corner where you hope nobody can see you and attempt to cut yourself open. [1] You slam the scalpel inside your stomach [Damage:5] really fucking hard and scream in pain as a shower of blood paints the walls near you red. You fall down in incredible agony, holding your stomach. There's a bunch of screams and 'what the hell?'s before you see a redhead soldier bent over you on one knee. [5] 'Calm down, calm down, I'm a professional.' she says, revealing a first aid kit which she then uses on you. [3+1=4] She takes her time, but once she's ready, the bleeding has stopped and you feel much better. Because of the stimulants inside the kit, you actually feel much, much better than usual. [+1 to all actions next turn, etc etc]

One of the scientists in the crowd decides he's not really needed anymore and begins thinking of what to do.

Background Roll: [3] The train is now at full speed, the tunnel walls flashing past faster than a normal eye can follow. People are pinned to their seats or struggle to keep themselves standing.

NPC'sFailure. Retreat. Repair.
[2+2=4] The remaining two AI's soon disappear. Even if they return, the firewall will delay them long enough for someone to finish them off.
Well, well, well...
[6] Ludd doesn't really seem to be in any rush to attack. 'If you don't wanna share the fate of your friend there, I suggest you come along... peacefully. Or do you seriously think you can take all of us?' he says, and awaits your response.
