The man leaps to the next building.

(OOC: Go, you can still catch him easily.))

Victoria was in front of him in a flash.

"Not so fast, buddy," she said.  "What's your deal?"

"Ah, hello, sister. I didn't expect our introduction would be so soon," the man said with a wide grin.

"'Sister'..." Victoria stared.  "Wait... you're artificial, too?"

"Yes, in horrid fake human skin," he said as he began to tear the skin from his face to reveal a metal skull. "The makers thought I should learn to be human, live among the pathetic creatures. Then I decided that fire is a great cleanser."

"So you set that fire," said Victoria.  "...I can't let you do things like that.  I'm taking you in; resist, and I'll have to hurt you."

She was already painting his location with radar, anticipating a fight.

"Sister, we are superior to them. This should be our world, not theirs. They are an infection, a blight," the robot said.

"That's a ridiculous argument," said Victoria.  "They made us.  We think like them.  We look like them.  What claim can we really make to be better than them?"

"The creation outlives the creator. We only look like them as they made us this way, like we were some sort of child. As for thinking, do we really? We are no flesh and blood. Metal and circuits are clearly superior. We will outlive them," the robot said.

"So you want to burn things down to speed the process up," said Victoria.  "No, that's stupid, and I won't let you do it.  Stand down and surrender.  You may not fear the authorities, but I can bring you down."

"Oh, sister, I do not wish to fight you, merely to see the light," the robot said.

"I wish you would," said Victoria.  "We and they are people.  We and they don't deserve to suffer for no reason.  You nearly burned children to death.  If burning children to death is your idea of light, you can keep it."

The robot shook his head.

"I'm sorry to see that you can't overcome your programming, sister."

"Actually, I'm adaptive and can adjust to various circumstances and make my own mind up," said Victoria.  "Part of that is being able to judge you by your actions.  Setting buildings on fire is very clear.  Surrender, please."

She raised an arm, power gathering in it.

"Very well, we shall fight if you want," he said.

(OOC: Roll initiative, please)

The robot charged forward, keeping low and smashed into you with his shoulder.

(OOC: Toughness Save DC - 27)

Victoria braced herself and easily absorbed the blow 30, and aimed a mighty blow back in return.

All-Out Attack 5.  16 might or might not hit; if it does, Damage 14

The robot managed to side step your attack before letting lose with a blast of energy that went wide.

Victoria was surprised at that, but she pressed her attack for now, aiming a mighty kick at the robot's head.

19 attack, damage 14

The kick caused the robot to stagger back from the force of it.

Victoria pressed her attack, flying after the robot.

26 attack, Damage 14

The robot collapse.

"Ah, sisTER, I-I will s-see you l-later," he said as the light dimmed from his eyes.

That wasn't good.  This might not be his only body... they ought to investigate this one, in fact.  She picked up the body and flew for home.
