Eighty-six percent. Eighty-nine percent. Ninety-four percent. That’s when the Courier pulled the plug from where he had jacked into the Omnic robot. Any more time, and the robots would have been able to initiate a counter hack, get into his Pip-Boy, and that wouldn’t have been good. Ever since he got it from Doc Mitchell back in Goodsprings, it felt like a part of him. No good at all.Thankfully everyone else was able to use that time well, initiating a well fought attack on the remaining robots in the area, and Ratchet even recovered Kirby! As far as the Courier was concerned, this was a well earned victory.

[color=tan]”You’ve been decommissioned. Yeehaw.”[/color] Without further ceremony the Courier planted a bullet into the barely functional Omnic’s processor, shutting the robot down for good. From what he could tell of the coding he inspected, the things had actual personalities. He didn’t want to leave the thing functional only to come back later with a grudge. Benny made that mistake with him, after all.

King Bowser came back in short order, having collected a ton of the spirits from up the hill on his way back down. Robots and rabbids alike floated about in a large cluster, and damn that was an impressive evidence of the carnage they wrought in this scrapyard. Yet there was more carnage, more death and destruction, to be had. War never changes, and all that, but more specifically the top of the hill everyone had originally come from was still in immediate danger. The Courier spotted Michael, the sniper, and that cloaked guy getting attacked by more robots while the half naked woman and the centurion stood there. Dammit!

The Courier had half a mind to let those robots do away with Michael since the man had nearly ruined the Courier’s plan to appeal to the rabbids. Hell, they might have remained as allies, given the circumstances, so in that regards Michael [i]did[/i] ruin the plan! Alas, that would have been wrong, and the Courier didn’t need any more bad karma. He holstered his magnum in order to pull out the Ratslayer and took aim at the bot that appeared to be charging a laser on Michael. Time slowed down to an unnoticeable crawl. VATS was now active. [i][color=tan]Let’s see, this one seems to be a Slicer model, if the data from that Nulltrooper I hacked is accurate. Different model, so I don’t know where the central processor is. The body is small though, and largely unarmored if I can believe my eyes. No head, just a main body, legs, and a laser. Chance to hit main chassis: 93%. Left leg: 61%. Right leg:19%. What about that laser weapon? Weapon: 76%.[/color][/i]

The Courier queued up three shots hoping that one or more would lead to critical damage, two for the laser gun and one for the main chassis, and let the trigger finger fall. Bang! Bang! Bang! Courier 6 didn’t even stop to see if the shots hit their marks, he just slung the rifle over his shoulder and went running straight up the hill. As he passed by the cluster of spirits Bowser had collected, he randomly grabbed two of them (for for each hand) and crushed them within his grip. He hadn’t had the time to look and see that he had grabbed the spirits of an Omnic eradicator and a Team Fortress soldier robot, nor plan for whatever sort of loot they might transform into, but he hoped they’d be of use as he stormed up the hill.
