"And automatic gunfire is universal code for we mean well"

The Model takes a blow from Wraith, then shows she's no pushover by grabbing Wraith and pinning Wraith's arms. Some words are said, and then the androids, as if to reinforce Wraith's point, let loose with several dozen rounds in three-round bursts.
S1 fires a three round burst at Wraith, two of the three rounds strike. Both bullets bounce from her defenses.
S2 and S3 both fire three round bursts at Ghost Dancer. S2 strikes him once and S3 strikes him twice. It's hard to see why, but none of the bullets seem to impact Ghost Dancer, at all.
S4 fires at Gauntlet, and the slug that actually strikes Gauntlet leaves a welt, other than that nothing happens.
S5, S8, and S9 fire at Enforcer. Every bullet that they shoot finds its mark. At least one strikes with enough force to knock Enforcer to the ground.
Gauntlet jogs over and takes a swing at S5. After the blow, something seems amiss with the android's sight as it seems to be looking past Gauntlet.

Recognizing the efficacy of his previous strategy, Ghost Dancer turns around and sends another double tap towards an android.

Wraith will try and break Model's hold

07:36, Today: Wraith rolled 32 (with 10 body) using 11 with the Hero (Champions) system ((3, 6, 2, 4, 2, 1, 4, 3, 1, 3, 3)).

and if successful will go back to punching Model 07:39, Today: Wraith rolled 13 using 20-3d6 ((5,1,1)).hitting dcv 13

Enforcer rolls over and rises to his feet. "Stupid robots, you made me look bad."
Pulling the large weapon from the holster at his side, he says, "c'mon, Laura, let's bust up some 'bots."

Ghost Dancer calmly drops another android, this time S9. Wraith forces her way out of The Model's hold. Enforcer stands up and limbers his signature weapon (which he has given a feminine name to, analyze that).

The time seems to stop for The Model, as she hears Enforcer give a name at his gun. She literally get her attention turned from Wraith, and her arms go loose at her sides, out of surprise.

"Eric?! Is.. that really you ?" she says glancing at Enforcer, like struck by a revelation.

Somewhat surprised that the android was no longer focusing his attention on him, Gauntlet will act defensively and will check to see what has taken the android's attention.

Aikido Dodge with all Skill Levels to DCV.
Total DCV of 15

Perception Roll (Perception of 13-)
01:02, Today: Gauntlet rolled 11 using 3d6 ((1,5,5)).

The Model suddenly calls out to Enforcer, giving his name as Eric.
The Security Droids open fire, again, but this time their targets INCLUDE The Model. All are using three-round bursts from their machine guns. Gauntlet dodges away from the barrel of the gun on the droid he has engaged.


Ghost Dancer picks up the downed droid's AK-47 and prepares to fire it.

Wraith will grab and squeeze Model

18:02, Today: Wraith rolled 7 using 19-3d6 ((3,4,5))hitting DCV 7
18:04, Today: Wraith rolled 52 (with 14 body) using 11 with the Hero (Champions) system ((5, 6, 6, 6, 5, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5))damage

Enforcer calmly fires a round from his pistol at S3. "I just hope they're all robots," he says.

OOC: 07:46, Today: Enforcer rolled 16,1 using 4d6,1d3.  damage.
07:44, Today: Enforcer rolled 9 using 18-3d6.  attack roll, shows DCV hit.

Tossing the assault rifle to his shoulder and peering down the sights, Ghost Dancer throws quick bursts at two of the androids.


OOC:
03:48, Today: Ghost Dancer rolled 6 using 20-3d6.  attack roll, first target S1, hits DCV.
03:49, Today: Ghost Dancer rolled 7 using 20-3d6.  attack roll, second target S2, hits DCV.
03:50, Today: Ghost Dancer rolled 5 body damage and 10 stun (with a stun multiplier of 1) using the Hero 6th Edition, Killing Attack system.  first attack damage.
03:50, Today: Ghost Dancer rolled 5 body damage and 10 stun (with a stun multiplier of 1) using the Hero 6th Edition, Killing Attack system.  second attack damage.

Wraith give The Model a squeeze, which almost drives her to unconsciousness. Enforcer uses his primary weapon, its single shot strikes his target square in the chest and while the torso flies back, the head and limbs do not. The android lands on the ground in six pieces.
Ghost Dancer uses the AK-47 he took from the security droid to shoot two more security droids. They don't fall, but appear to be assessing the possibility that they will

Wraith will 1/2 move toward S1 and squeeze Model

11:34, Today: Wraith rolled 33 using 11d6 ((1,5,2,5,1,1,4,2,3,5, 4)).

As Enforcer points Laura at S4 and fires, he raises his PPK and double taps towards S8. "Hold onto that woman, she shouldn't know that name!"

OOC: Multiple attack, three shots, -4 OCV, DCV halved. OCV 3, DCV 4.
09:49, Today: Enforcer rolled 7 using 14-3d6.  first attack roll.
09:49, Today: Enforcer rolled 9 using 14-3d6.  second attack roll.

09:53, Today: Enforcer rolled 1,3 using 1d6,1d3.  second attack damage.

The Model is squeezed into unconsciousness, and Enforcer fires a few more rounds at the droids. The security droids fire again, this time only two of them as S1, S2, S3, and S5 are immobile. S4 fires at Enforcer, all three rounds hit. Although his celebrated force fields manage to stop any of the bullets from tearing into flesh, the effect of the impact leaves Enforcer on the ground his force field flickers and goes out.
S8 firse at Ghost Dancer, and his weapon is singularly ineffective.

message

With his current target down, Gauntlet will move to S4 and Strike (+1 OCV, +3 DCV).
Attack Rolls (OCV 10, DCV 10)

To Hit: 21:13, Today: Gauntlet rolled 12 using 21-3d6 ((6,2,1)).
Damage: 21:15, Today: Gauntlet rolled 39 (with 10 body) using 9 with the Hero (Champions) system ((2, 5, 5, 4, 6, 2, 5, 5, 5)).

Gauntlet slams S4, and the droid flies several meters back before landing. It doesn't get up.
Enforcer struggles to his feet, still slightly groggy. At the same time, The Model begins to regain consciousness.
Ghost Dancer shoots the last droid, and as it hits the ground silence descends.
A silence that is quickly broken by Enforcer as he says, "it sounds like Hatter's in trouble, let's head for his location. Keep the pace slow enough that we stay together, it's certain to be desperate ground."

"oh good your waking up"
"which way to the house"?

"Did Everybody else get that in their head, and if so, does anyone know where the house is?" Gauntlet yells out.

In reply to Gauntlet (msg # 59):

"this one most likely does"

Shaking off the aftereffects of too many bullets, Enforcer approaches Wraith and The Model. "I know where the house is, it was on the map. We're between five and six hundred meters south by southeast from the clearing it's in."
"That android seems to know too much, anyway. You need to tell us, quickly, how you know that name and what's going on here. Then tell us where your off switch is so we don't have to damage you before we leave."
