Sure. What can I do for ya?

Above Inco

---

We seem to have passed through undetected.
Good. Have scouts drop down at these key locations. Scout Group A will look for resources, B for defenses, and C for potential landing points for our main forces.
Understood!
Excellent. Let's get to work soldiers. Glory to the Glow.
The squad leaders salute to the admiral then walk out the room. As they do so, the admiral already seems to have brought up an hologram.


Anything new to report?
The strongest government on Inco is still weak enough for a single squad of vehicles to easily take over the capitol. Your estimates of the planet falling within two days are still right on the money sir.
Good. And what about the strange signal? Is it coming from this planet?
[[image]()]{none} I believe it's here.
Any evidence?
[A couple days ago, a group of police officers drove down to this location here to try an arrest but they were attacked by a figure. It seems from their reports there was a laboratory stationed there. It should be unoccupied save of course for the attacker and any Junk Golems in the area.]{}
Good work. Keep it up and you'll be an official member of the S.8.P.F in no time.
Thank...thank you sir!
You are dismissed. Glory to the Glow.
Glory to the Glow!

That's...a good point.

If we just don't say anything, Gyro should be able to explain it. Still...other than sneak-gutpunching Gyro, do you have any combat experience in that body of yours?

Well yes but...
A new realization flashes before Acorn's eyes.
Wait a moment. If I can get the government to pull some strings, we can make this place our B.O.O..

Thank you for making this as this will help with making sure I summoned all the mechas. Plus this is pretty cool to know about anyways...

Acorn: ...No clue. Also, I need to have a word with you in private later. At least after we find a base of communications to operate from.

A nightmare about matchboxes...I think.
Acorn turns around and stares at Claim Chomper.

Acorn shakes his head as the bull starts to sleep.
He's gonna be more trouble than he's worth... He attacked an injured machine cause of a brief verbal conflict...Though...he didn't hurt any of us while enraged and we're just strangers at this point...Perhaps we could weaponize this?
Acorn looks around then whispers to MIDI.
So long as it does not endanger or ruin lives, it's all fair to me. Just sure no cameras are watching you by the way; we need to keep our actions as quiet as possible.

It's revealed to be...5000 Zenny! An ember falls from the ceiling...and twirls downwards...dangerously close to it.

It's all apart of the second plan. You want your pawns to be stronger so they can destroy your enemy and I have provided a way to do so. So long as you stay away from them so you yourself don't get infected and just let me conduct my side of this twisted symphony, all three of our dreams will be reached.

Nuru then starts to chant. Any broken pieces off of any machinery start to hover in the air. He seems to be struggling to keep afloat.

Top secret. Sorry, but we can't afford any loose lips causing our sink to ship. However...if we were to fix that propeller of yours...would you willing to lend your services to our cause?

With the flip of a theoretical coin, Junk Golem gets another chance to go first. Junk Golem opts to make a Junk Block from the junk around him. Seeing this, Frostfire Man decides to stand by and convert energy into WE.

When you want to recharge your WE, you can either use all your AP to charge it to the max or rely on your WIL to fill it up instead. Just take your WIL, divide it by 4, and add the total(round up) to your WE. Standing by is another word for simply using all your AP to make WE.

Combat Acorn and the gang walk outside the hospital while Crystal Man L walks in at the same time. Acorn can't help but get a strange vibe off the guy. However, before he can say anything, he notices the screaming robot and investigates.

Acorn: Possibly an cry for help. MIDI, you can choose to stay behind and fix the elevator or check it out. Taurus, you come with me in case it's an enemy. As for Meddy, we're also gonna need you in case it's an injury. Let's move out!

---

The policeman starts to run to the edge of the rooftop with concern, then realizes he's probably fine as he has a propeller.

It appears to be a fireproof safe. Due to it's size, it seems light enough to carry.

---

Thank...thank you.
Uh...here. Take this and don't tell anyone.
Gyro received 200z.
Again, I can't thank you enough.

---

Uh...right! While you guys do that, I'll get the fir-.
Claim Chomper then burps out an extinguisher.
Huh. That works too. You got some toold in there too?

Claim Chomper: Nope.

Of course not.
Acorn then ponders to himself...

---

With the flip of a theoretical coin, Junk Golem goes first and punches Frostfire Man.

Adding 5POW from Junk Punch to JG's 10POW makes the total damage 15.
For dodging, 3-5=-2. One extra die added. Number falls below zero: no dice rolls.
JG rolls a 3. Though it hits, Frostfire Man's WIL=15, resulting in zero damage dealt.

Surprised, JG leaves himself wide open, resulting in Frostfire's next attack to connect.
Frostfire unleashes a Chilling Flames at the opponent!
20+5=26. -3= 23.
Due to being caught off guard, Junk Golem takes 23 damage! JG's AGI also fell to 0.
However, Junk Golem uses his Skill: Junk Discard, resulting in the total damage becoming 18. JG throws away Junk Punch by throwing an arm away.

Combat Acorn looks at Meddy before closing his eyes.
General Leo. That human...was General Leo. The General Leo. The only honorable governmental figure...just so happened to give this task to me. To have an honor like this...NO. To have an opportunity like this. I won't throw it away.
Listen up men! As you lot know, you have been assigned to the A.R.D.F.. What that means is simple: you are now soldiers. As such, I will teach you all how to be soldiers.
Taking a pose, he turns his hand into a fist
But more than soldiers, I'll show you how we can be...

Acorn then shook his head.

...Disregard that last sentence.
In any case...our first task is to set up a location to operate. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Burning Building

---

As the flames die out, you feel your power rising! +2POW added! Database updated!
Though the flames still burn on, the smoke stops pouring out of the main door. Though your limited vision, you see wreckage and a round box. Though the rubble seems to have caught on fire, the box seems intact.

Dr. Woe's Lab

As Frostfire Man is unwillingly led into a room, a single large scraping sound silences the Ball Met's pleadings. As both Frostfire and the Met look around, nothing out of the ordinary seems to be notable. Yet it happens again.
There! Did you se-se-see that?
See what?
An-an-an intruder hiding under that pile of me-me-metal!

The Ball Met rolls away from Frostfire Man and investigates the pile...A set of tools come out of the top of the Ball Met and starts moving around the metal. Without warning, the pile swallows the Ball Met.

What in tar-?
The same sound from earlier stops Frostfire dead in his tracks as the pile shines two bright eyes. Frostfire readies for a fight as the pile comes to life!

I will be gone on the weekend, so I'll try to show how a typical combat fight will work out before Saturday. Any suggestions/questions are welcome.

Nuru laughs as the slow-moving chaingun bullets pass through him.
You've never heard of a wraith before, have you?
Nuru then starts to throw needles at random targets.
Devilized Bio Acorn was hit by a needle!
Mighty had a needle thrown at him!
The Anti-Devil Hallowizer had a needle thrown at him!
Rotom Lucifier had a needle thrown at him!
Whoops...
Ninja Man Z had a needle thrown at him!

Each of the combatants that were hit (assuming they didn't dodge) started to feel evil energy swell in their circuits, even if only for a moment...


D.B.A. succumbed to the energy!

Devilized Pierobot...was destroyed by the attacks!
I'm out of needles... I need a body and quick.

The Combat(new name) Acorn thinks to himself.
Why a lowly Acorn instead of...well...anyone designed for leadership? Are we that drained on resources to where even I am considered able for the job?
Uh...I'll do my best sir!

---

The police bot gets startled before realizing what Gyro said. He then looks around before whispering to him.
You'd do that...for me?

---

As Heat Man approaches the building, a disgruntled Crystal Man seems to have given up on putting out the flames and is instead sitting on the sideway, staring into the cosmos.
*sighs* Look...I don't have your money. I had enough to pay for the modifier chip but then someone screamed about how their cooker caught on fire and well...*chuckles* you can guess what happened next.
[}{crystal} This is what happens when you try anything. You should of stored it somewhere else. You're a failure right to the end.
Everything's going to be fine and dandy. All sunshine from here on out!

Crystal Man L reaches for the back of his head to push an exposed button, causing a chip to fly out. The machine then slumps over...only to rise back up again.
...
The machine starts to speak in a monotone voice.
Being hollow has its advantages you know. Sure you're a husk, but you don't make mistakes.

2.46. Weren't you listening? It can be hard with how he rambles on and on-
That's enough Claim Chomper.
Maybe you're not familiar with 2.46. I doubt our friend here is, so let me explain. Due to him being made out of government material and him being an military TOP SECRET project, yes, his body is property.
The Acorn then realizes that the military official has entered the room.
SIR!
Militia Acorn salutes.

Rooftop

---

As Gyroman watches on, he sees...a police bot flying a kite. He seems to be skilled and is able to do some tricks when a gust of wind blows it away.
My kite!

Gyroman sees a big building with a dull red cross. He also spots a figure on a rooftop. It's too far away to see exactly what he's doing. They don't seem to have seen you yet...

---

As Heat Man wanders on, he finds himself at the edge of the block. A fire seems to have broken out with one person trying to put out the flames. They don't seem to have seen you yet...

The Acorn finally gathers his energy to be able to speak, only to see MIDI.
Oh come on. Not another complication...
*Ahem* Everyone listen up. Mr...whatever your name is...is government property as it's referred to subsection 2.46. So...
Acorn pulls a thing of handcuffs out of the box...only to realize their far too small...
...
As for the rest of you, no harm should come to you if you come along quietly.
Sorry MIDI, wrong place, wrong time...
