'Freeze!' 
'Down on the ground, Tech freak!' 
'Do it now!' 
I do not believe my first incursion to planet Earth is going very well so far. First, I am surrounded by six human Magi, aiming a number of magical weapons in my direction. Second, the drop pod I entered Earth's atmosphere within only landed a few minutes ago. Overall, the response I have so far received is hostile in nature. I wonder if other drones were faced with similar circumstances.
[i]Do I fight these Magi, Methuselah?[/i]
[i]Fight, knock unconscious, but do not send for conversion. We do not currently possess the resources to maintain stasis upon them, and robots cannot maintain themselves on Earth as of current. Maintain similar orders against other hostile Magi until further notice.[/i]
[i]Orders logged.[/i]
My currently-equipped Exoarmour is the EX-Specops. I do not currently possess an equipped weapon. That is easily changed. I drop into a roll, at the same time teleporting the non-lethal taser in my right hand; projectiles are launched at me, but I am more than capable of dodging them at the speed they are moving. Reaching the end of my roll to the left of one of my opponents, I stand, press the taser against his neck, and electrocute him until he falls to the ground. I dodge again, this time stepping out of the path of another set of projectiles, and materialise a sticky EMP grenade in my left hand, setting the detonation timer for three seconds. One of the Magi charges me with a longsword; in response, I summon my own longsword, channel plasma through it to produce a blade, and telekinetically manipulate it to slice the blade of her sword off at the lowest reasonable point on the blade. Her attempts to backpedal are counteracted by my telekinetically pushing her into my left hand, then pushing her with the same hand into two other Magi who happen to be too close to one another to be tactically responsible. By the time they recognise what has happened, I am several meters away, and the EMP grenade has less than half a second before detonation.
They do not escape the blast radius. It engulfs these three, paralysing them in much the same manner as my initial target, and catches one of the other Magi on its fringes, dropping him to one knee, with a channelled bolt of electricity finishing the job of rendering him unconscious. The last Magi's will to fight breaks, and he begins to run away from me. He is quite fast, but as it turns out, I am much faster. I slam into him from behind, knocking the breath out of his lungs, and send him toppling to the ground, where I am able to paralyse and knock him out in much the same manner as the previous groups members. Overall energy expenditure: inconsequential. With all opposition negated, I am free to perform my own activities again. I return the taser to the pocket space in my possession, then take the longsword in both hands-
[i]Do not execute these men.[/i]
[i]They will awaken shortly, and likely threaten our efforts again in the future.[/i]
[i]They are not powerful enough to be threatening. You are fully aware of this, and of the fact that random execution is not our goal. Do not proceed.[/i]
I stop channeling plasma through the longsword, and teleport it back into the pocket space, returning to an idle position.
[i]Addendum to prior order: Do not kill hostile parties that do not possess greater than 50% of your own power.[/i]
[i]Current, or ongoing?[/i]
[i]Ongoing. I will inform you if it is desirable to switch parameters to present current power at any point.[/i]
[i]Orders logged. Proceed as prior to combat situation?[/i]
[i]Yes.[/i]
I walk away from the scene of combat. I have other tasks to engage in.
