43.15% Steel Waste / Chapter 306: MORE ROBO-SCORPIONS!

Capítulo 306: MORE ROBO-SCORPIONS!

Once he deactivates VATS, Afton quickly ducks out of the doorway, barely avoiding the laser barrage shot into the tunnel he'd just exited from. Of course, it was only at this moment that the Robo-Scorpions detected him through his invisibility. Afon was already on the move though.

He'd retrieved his Inversal axe and a Proton axe, dual-wielding them as he began tearing through the Robo-Scorpions around the room.

[John Wick Style is in effect]

The Robo-Scorpions stood no chance, with their sensors not being able to keep up with the invisible enemy, and Afton himself making an effort to stray in between the Scorpions to force friendly fire should they attempt to shoot him. The number of scorpions was rapidly dwindling.

His weapons easily cut through the robot's chassis, each strike causing an additional EMP effect to occur and scramble their electronics. Courtesy of the Proto axes special ability.

Afton quickly cleared the robots in the room, only taking grazing shots from their lasers, however, more continued to come in through the door, causing him to wonder just how many Mobius had to deploy.

Shaking his head, he cut his way to the door and slammed his fist into the control panel, accidentally shattering it and causing to door the slam shut with a large *THUNK!*.

"Well, that'll do it... For now." he mutters, knowing that the Robo-Scorpions would breach through the door fairly quickly. He turned towards the test control terminal and quickly went through it, selecting the advanced test where he'd supposedly receive the Sonic Emitter upgrade.

He selects the advanced test and waits while the test chambers move around, the irritating grinding sound being interrupted halfway as the door to the lab explodes, smoke wafting through and concealing the many Robo-Scorpions who were advancing towards him.

Afton fires at them for couple of seconds before entering the test as the rooms stop moving. Frowning as he finds himself back in the same school area the first test had been in... The only exception is that every path was blocked by forcefields.

He knew he didn't have much time before more Robo-Scorpions would be on his ass again, so he quickly looked around for an exit, or anything that may help him... In the corner, he spotted a terminal, and once he accessed it, he was greeted with just what he needed.

[Sonic Emiter Data]

Upon selecting it, he was given an option to download the Sonic Emitter EM Pulsewave module. He hooked the Sonic Emitter up to it and began the download, of course, not everything was going to go his way.

*BOOOM!*

Halfway through the download, the doors to the test chamber were blown away again, Robo-Scorpions firing at where he's currently standing despite still being invisible. Afton isn't even able to move out of the way due to the terminal sitting behind him... No, instead he's forced to take the laser fire head-on...

Using his Proton axes, he attempts to intercept the lasers with [SuperHot Block] only to find that attempt to deflect lasers was much, much harder than bullets. The reason for this is obvious, lasers fire at the speed of light, and bullets don't.

[Grit is in effect]

Afton gets shot a couple times in the chest, but the plating of the Stealth suit mitigates most of the damage... Still, it's incredibly painful. Again, Afton attempts to deflect some laser fire, only this time blocking based on where their tails were pointing.

This allows him to block around 40% of the lasers shot at him, not incredible, but enough to stop him slowly being vaporized by the Robo-Scorpions combined fire. Fortunately, a large, stupid, Robo-Scorpion gets into melee range while trying to cut him to pieces with its pincer.

Afton cuts its pincers off and picks it up, using the Robo-Scorpions body as a makeshift shield. This didn't last long, however, as the chassis of his shield quickly began falling apart, red hot pieces of metal dropping to the floor as more and more laser fire impacted it.

Afton could hear a faint humming coming from it as he held it, quickly realising that this was probably its internal reactor going out of control. Not having much other choice, he tosses the robot towards its allies, shielding his face as it explodes in the midst of them. And a loud siren goes off all around the facility due to the test chamber being breached.

Bits and pieces of shrapnel struck him in his arms, chest, and legs, but he'd luckily managed to block any from reaching the terminal behind him. Just in time too, as the download appeared to have finally completed.

After checking that no Robo-Scorpions had survived the explosion, he quickly disconnects the Sonic Emitter and heads for the exit, deciding that there wouldn't be much point for him to go through it again.

Of course, there were more Robo-Scorpions outside the test room, and his invisibility didn't work all that well with pieces of shrapnel visibly sticking from his bleeding wounds, all of which were not covered by his Stealthboy...

"GIVE UP! Or my Robo-Scorpions will tear you apart with their pinching pincers!" Mobius shouts as Afton charges through the groups, making his way to the first floor and then out of the front entrance.

[Solar Powered is in effect]

After exiting the building, Afton feels the sunlight on his face strengthening him, this, combined with [Grit] and [John Wick Style] boosted his stats to rediculous degrees. It was good timing too, as he was currently surrounded by Robo-Scorpions...

He quickly activated VATS in an attempt to find an escape route, but found nothing so convenient... No, instead he looked up to the roof of the X-8 facility, realising that if he could climb up in one piece, he may be able to escape Mobius army.

While he was looking around, however, he noticed some sort of entrance opening up on the side of the facility... He had no idea why that as happening, or what function it served, but perhaps he could escape through there?

Capítulo 307: SCHEMATICS!

After Afton pondered his plan of action for a while in VATS, he eventually decides to exit via the opening doors of the X-8 facility... He deactivates VATS and makes a run for it, ducking and weaving as lasers impact everything near his current position, the invisibility providing at least some degree of cover.

However, once Afton reaches the door, he comes face to face with hundreds of beady little eyes, all waiting in the darkness for the doors to fully open... Before he's even able to compute what this way, a laser strikes him in the back, causing him to fall forwards, barely avoiding one of the creatures here.

He groans in pain and looks around, finally able to see who the eyes belonged to... "Ah, huh..." he mutters as he stares at the hundreds of Cyberdogs, all seemingly prepared for combat...

Once the doors were fully open, a bell-sound rings out, and all Cyberdogs immediately charge out of the facility, barking sonic projectiles at the army of Robo-Scorpions. This causes many to be thrown over one another, disrupting their laser fire that'd been trying to retarget the Cyberdogs.

The sonic barks were just the initial attack however, it didn't take long for the Cyberdogs to finally reach their targets, beginning to bite, claw, and tear the Robo-Scorpions apart... Sure, it'd take a while for the Cyberdogs to actually kill the scorpions due to their tough armour, but they were easily able to disable their combat capabilities... Tearing off their laser tail rendered them almost useless, as their pincers proved very, very ineffective against the Cyberdog assault.

Afton just watches all of this happen with a dumbfounded look on his face... This whole situation sounded too weird to be real, him, an invisible guy barely escaping an army of robotic scorpions, only to be saved by an army of robotic dogs... Yeah, sounds pretty cookoo when put like that.

Afton guessed that the reason the Cyberdogs were sent attacking was due to the damage the Robo-Scorpions had done to the test chamber, the facility itself taking it as an attack that must be defended and retaliated against. Still, Afton wasn't sure if he'd be attacked by them if they spotted him... If they hadn't already sniffed him out earlier, burnt flesh is quite pungent after all.

"I recommend we sneak past them, user." Nyx states, and Afton nods in agreement.

"Yeah, I'm not getting involved in that." he says, slowly heading back to the Think Tank. Now that he'd secured all of the schematics, they should be attacking Mobius directly next... Hopefully.

Afton didn't have much trouble sneaking past the fight, his invisibility combined with the stealth suits dampening capabilities made him almost untraceable to enemies not specifically searching for him.

A couple hours of walking later and Afton found himself back at the Think Tank, his wounds having slowly healed due to his exposure to the sunlight. The scorch marks on Nyx had pretty much all faded too due to his [Mechanicus] Perk.

Once inside he marches towards Klein who's still in the exact place he'd left him... It was strange, and Afton knew he wouldn't be able to sit in the same place conducting experiments for two-hundred-years without losing his mind... Though, he wasn't all that confident in the scientist's mental stability in the first place.

"Klein." he greets from behind the robot.

Dr. Klein stops tapping a terminal with his manipulators and turns towards Afton, "HAVE YOU DONE WHAT WE ASKED? IF NOT, WE WILL NOT HESITATE TO ASK AGAIN!"

...

"Was that a joke-Wait, you know what? I don't care. I've secured all the schematics you asked for." Afton says after a moment to process the scientist's words.

"IT WAS NO JOKE, LOBOTOMITE. YOU WILL FIND THAT MY ABILITY TO REPEATEDLY ASK QUESTIONS WILL TRIUMPH OVER YOUR OWN... AS FOR THE SCHEMATICS, I MAY NOT DISPLAY IT, BUT I AM ASTOUNDED AT YOUR SURVIVAL. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DIE-*Ahem*, PREDICTED TO PERISH MANY TIMES OVER..."

Afton shrugs, "Thanks for the confidence." he states with a blank expression "Now, what did you actually need the schematics for? None of the technologies seemed to have anything to do with one another... Apart from maybe the Sonic Emitter and Stealth suit for their uses in infiltration..." he questions.

"JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION DATABANK FOR THE SCHEMATICS... LET'S SEE HERE... A THREAT BY MOBIUS... ANOTHER THREAT BY MOBIUS... AN APOLOGY? BY MOBIUS, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER THREAT..." Klein continues to list off many, many, many messages he'd received from Mobius, most of which were either threats, apologies, or both at the same time.

"AHA! YES, THE X-2 ANTENNA, X-8 SONIC EMITTER UPGRADE, AND X-13 STEALTH SUIT. I'D SAY EXPLEMARY WORK LOBOTOMITE, IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN BY ON LUCK ALONE."

Afton scoffs, "Ah yes, luck granted me the ability to fight through hordes of Robo-Scorpions, Lobotomites, Night Stalkers, and other defences each respective facility had. A shame you aren't as lucky as me Klein, otherwise you would've accidentally pieced together nanomachines that would allow you to do anything and everything you wished." he says facetiously.

"HMM? NANOMACHINES? NO, MOBIUS IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THAT PROJECT. NOW, THE SCHEMATICS... LET ME JUST... AH.... YES...." Klein mutters, sounding as if he were exerting himself extremely hard.

"You alright, Klein? Sounds like you're going to shit yourself... Or brainfart?" Afton says, smirking at the stuttering scientist.

"J-JUST BE QUIET FOR A MOMENT. THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE EXTREMELY... COMPLICATED."

"You have no idea what you're doing, do you?" Afton asks bluntly, wondering why they needed the technologies in the first place. He wasn't going to complain, as Nyx herself was reward enough for everything he'd done, let alone everything else he'd acquired. Still, it as annoying to know the person who sent you out had no idea why he was doing so...

Klein floats over to his terminal and presses a few buttons, causing some machinery to spark to life and start vibrating... Eventually, many pages of blue paper filled with schematics of the technologies were printed out. And the scientist began quickly examining them.

Afton look at them himself and raised a brow, most of it was very, very complicated. The scientists who created them likely doing so over years and over many iterations. But that wasn't what caught his interest however... No, that would be the 'OBVIOUS' notes written by someone called 'Mobius'... Yeah...
