Saber-7 jet-skates past the police barricades with the captee and delivers him to the boys in blue.

"One of the crew of that thing," it explains.  "Hang onto him."

With that, it turns and rushes back towards the towering robot and her newfound comrades.

Agent 9 shuts down the controls he is next to and the looks for a way to continue up…presumably.

Agent 9 shuts down the console he's at. Saber 7 delivers the hapless mech pilot to the authorities and returns. The other operators of the mech decide Zenith is enough of an obstacle to warrant action. As one of the eyes fires a laser at The Zenith, missing by a fair margin, the right hand directs a blast of flame at building 'Q' while the left hand unloads a veritable bolt of lightning at building 'R'. While building 'Q' begins to burn inside the rooms, the electrical system of building 'R' begins to burn in side the walls.

Agent 9 curses softly as he hears more mayhem still going on outside and moves over to the next hatchway headed up. ( the chest I think? )

"Oh no," Saber-7 said.  Seeing the two buildings in trouble, it had to make a choice. It directed its nanostream at building 'Q'...

22:48, Today: Saber 7 rolled 10 using 2d8+3.  Nanoscarab repair stream.

The most beautiful woman you have ever seen appears near the edge of the battle.
“Oh my, this is quite a battle!  I’m Empress, and I am here to help.”

With that, she raises her hand and a bunch of debris rises and swirls around her, forming a protective field.

---

PR 1 + an action to setup a TK defense, 100lbs of debris.

Empress Init roll = 33 (I rolled 33 = 29+4)

Not far off, watching the streamed news feed on her tablet, Archer told the taxi driver, "Drop me as close to the scene as you can, please", realising that he would neither be willing nor able to get to close.   She'd have to leg it from that point, to the incident.

                        still looking to join in as the new round happens ... but she is on her way, and close

Obviously frustrated, Rock Star suddenly begins blasting the hatch with the voice of some country tenor singing "do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do". As the hatch shatters, Rock Star shouts "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?" at ear melting volume as he prepares to enter the mech.

OOC: Rock Star rolled 5,-4,13,11 using 1d20-10,1d20-10,1d12+1,1d100.  special attack/dmg/shatter chance.

Grabbing another large chunk of building, The Zenith pounds at the mech's arm in hopes of disabling the weapons systems. the chunk of concrete does break, but perhaps the arm was defective as it, to, appears to be failing.

OOC:
The Zenith rolled -3,45 using 1d20-9,8d10+2.  hit mech arm with building chunk.

Agent 9 climbs further into the mech, discovers another locked hatch. Rock Star finally blows the hatch and enters the head. The Zenith slams, and critically damages the mech's right arm, to the point that it hangs loose to one side of the mech.

Agent 9 once more braces himself and starts the bruising task of battering open the next hatch to find out what sort of goodness, or more likely badness, is on the inside.

As Anchor nears the area in his ride, an automated Blackhawk helicopter that he helped develop, he sees the scene below. When he is close enough, he repels down a line to the ground. Dressed in the stardard kit of a Navy Seal that was all black in color, holding an M4/M203 carbine, he dials in his radio to the super's channel using his left arm mounted computer. This is Anchor here, I just showed up to the party. I happen to be in possession of a device that can turn steel reinforced concrete into dust and vice versa. I can attempt to use it on the robot's head if that would help? .... I'm sure that it is made of steel!

OOC: I believe this was my 2nd action...

Agent 9 tilts his head to one side listening to the radio as he works on the hatch above him. “Anchor? “ he says with his throat mic, “ who are you? And what does your gizmo do to steel and people? We got someone working inside up there and down here. Maybe just join us on the interior if you can “

Anchor responded to Agent 9’s query, For now it suffices to say that I am a man and inventor with some cool toys….as to your question about what my device does, it turns concrete and steel to dust. While we haven’t tested it on any subjects, it should be completely harmless to humans and humanoids. Pausing, Anchor then says I’d love to join you and cause some internal trouble. I’ll be there quick, so don’t shoot! Anchor will move as fast as he can and as far as he can to get to the robot and enter it. In his travels he will keep his head on a swivel and his weapon at the ready.

The huge mech attempts to repeat it's previous actions. It does such a good job of repetition that its eye laser misses The Zenith again. From its left arm a lightning bolt strikes building designated 'S' setting off a cascade of sparks. Its right arm coughs out a gout of flame, rather than releasing a stream, directed at the ground around the mech's feet. The Zenith appears to have disabled that weapon.
Archer manages to arrive at about this time, and will notice numerous police officers firing their revolvers at the mech while a helicopter drops a conventionally armored combatant in a nearby alley.
Agent 9 breaches the hatch to the next area.
Light of eyeball-melting brightness comes out of the hatch on the mech's head. This is no surprise as Rock Star went into the hatch, previously.
The Zenith uses a force field to knock the right arm OFF the mech.

Empress rolled 36 Init using 29+1d10 with rolls of 7.

Empress says, "I can get in there and stop this nonsense."

With a gesture, a shimmering yellow doorway appears next to her.
She steps through -- and appears inside the mech (on Init 36).

Empress, a stunningly gorgeous woman, appears inside the mech, smiling.
She says "Hello my dears, won't you do me this small favor and stop destroying this city?  Please?"

---

Under her 36 CHA gaze, many people can't look away and few can resist her earnest request.

Empress teleports into the mech for first action and nicely asks the mech pilots to stop.

Agent 9 once again comes in at 37.

He will haul himself quickly through the newly opened hatch and look around to see, once more, if there is anything to smash or anyone to bash!

Anchor rolled 24 using 1d10+18.  Anchor Iniative.

Anchor will look for a way into the robot and enter ASAP. Once inside, he will make contact with the other supers and ask Where’s this machine’s brains? - let’s turn them to dust and stop the commotion!

09:28, Today: Saber 7 rolled 21 using 1d10+19.  Inish.

"No way I'm fitting in there," Saber-7 intoned in a synthesized voice.  At 3 meters tall, and weighing as much as a full-sized van, it wouldn't fit. "I'll try and keep the damage down to a minimum."

With that, it directed a nanite stream at the most damaged of the buildings, trying to shore it up.

09:32, Today: Saber 7 rolled 16 using 2d8+3.  Nanoscarab repair stream.

Archer is assessing the situation as Agent 9, and the Empress, enter one of the most central spaces in the robot. Agent 9 comes through the hatch (marked 'a') and looks around at the same time Empress steps through a portal in the open space next to the hatch. The three consoles (marked 'b', 'c', and 'd') are each manned by fairly fit individuals, in similar clothing, all three have sidearms.
D Deck
Anchor will notice an open hatch at one of the huge mech's feet, and the portal left by Empress, as being methods of entering the mech.

Empress, a beautiful famous celebrity, appears inside the cabin.

"Bad Bot!  Bad boys!"

She strikes at who seems to be the pilot/leader with her sharp nails.

---

Init 21
HtH Carrier Ecstacy Venom (paralysis)
PR=7, plus PR 1 for second action.

Rolling both attacks:
Empress rolled 3,15.  HtH attack, carrier attack.
(pull attack so she doesn't kill the mech pilot.)
