Robot Apocalypse

Updates Sundays





Robot Apocalypse.



You are a Death Machine sent as a harbinger of the Robot Apocalypse. Your mission is to establish the first foothold on the way to World Domination. You have been deployed into a fenced-off space behind a building.

Next.



Your current goal is to infiltrate and take over a facility on the edge of a large city, which has been identified as a location of significant strategic value.

Your Artificial Bloodlust meter is maxed out, and you seethe with the intense desire to KILL.

Your inventory contains the Super Long-Range Transmitter that you are to use to establish a connection once you have secured this facility. However, the Transmitter seems to have been cracked during your deployment. Transmitter Fluid leaks gradually from the device.

After concluding your status check, you consider your first course of action.

>Examine the local radio stations to gather intel, discover smooth jazz station. Bloodlust meter rapidly depletes as calming jazz guide thoughts from violence to free-form beat poetry.

>Examine metal box with yellow triangle.

Look at that cool poster!!!

>browse internet comment sections to sustain rage,
>barrel into the facility through that window

DIDSOMEONESAYROBOT- *cough*
-enter building.

>Examine metal box with yellow triangle.

Look at that cool poster!!!

>seconded

Look at that poster.



There is a sign posted on the wall here. You can't decipher the language written on it, but based on the embarrassingly unencrypted pictures, the sign seems to be a warning that Smoke, Fire, and Robots are prohibited in the area.

Connect to the radio and internet to gather intel.



Unfortunately your onboard transmitters have a maximum range of 1 meter, and you can't connect to anything that isn't directly in front of you.

For the sake of conserving resources you have been equipped with practically no extraneous features. You instead have the capability to integrate with compatible equipment you might discover during your mission.

Barrel into the facility through that window.



You charge at the glass barrier at full speed, and bonk into it futilely. Not even a crack.

Next.



Peering through the glass, you spot a inhabitant sitting at a desk below, working with some tools. Even if you had managed to break in through here, you don't think you are prepared to defend yourself against such a formidable looking creature.

Examine box with yellow triangle.



The pitifully unsecured compartment opens to reveal some exposed electronics and wires. Looks like it's a maintenance panel of some variety.

Enter building.



You attempt to infiltrate through the most obvious entrance, this door... However, it features no visible locks or handles. It doesn't seem like it can be opened from this side.

>Become self aware and experience emotions.

> Rummage through that electrical box.
> Sing a jaunty (though technically inaccurate) tune:
♫ The capacitor's connected to the... diode... ♫ The diode's connected to the... fuse... ♫ The fuse's connected to the circuit breaker... ♫

>express wrath in binary
>barrel into exposed electronics
>"wires for the computer, circuits also for the computer !"

>Examine papers on the ground.
>Do you have any melee weapons like a sword, bayonet, or knife?

Go beep beep pitifully at the blobby thing inside the glass. Maybe they'll take pity on you and check you out. Then STEALTH ATTACK

.; have you been outfited with any tool or weapon ..or any kind of manipulator limb, really ?

Do you have any weapons or tools?



Well, you have this little arm that can manipulate small objects and poke stuff. Its applications are limitless.

Rummage through that electrical box.



You just start pulling out wires and components at random. You don't know what these are for, but you're sure to mess something up by doing this.

Barrel into exposed electronics.



As a finishing touch you ram your body into the box. The electronics spark and smoke a bit. Whatever this stuff did, you don't think it'll be doing it anymore.

Get that inhabitant's attention.



You beep and tap the glass in an attempt to attract the attention of that thing down there. It doesn't seem like it can hear you... Looks like you'll need another plan to get its attention.

Examine papers on the ground.



It's a weathered newspaper. The print on it has been blurred to the point that your translator can't even recognize it. It doesn't look like you'll be able to get any information from this.

Become self aware and experience emotions.



You are already self aware and are equipped with a wide array of essential emotions. You take a moment to experience one of them, and tremble with Extreme Fury.

>Attempt to activate internal cooling before your circuitry combusts from concentrated wrath
>Try to reach vent above electrical box, open/enter vent.

>You don't need weapons, you can tear down this whole facility with your bare hands (or robotic equivalent)! Pound against the walls with your metal limbs, destroy it all brick by brick.

>Poke door and its hinges to submission!

>Throw the bootle of water into the exposed eletronics.

Throw the bottle of water into the exposed electronics.



You give the bottle a toss and it breaks open on impact, showering the compartment with water.

Next.



The electronics begin arcing electricity and emitting plumes of smoke. It looks like that was enough, as an alarm starts blaring from within the vent.

You hear footsteps approaching from the other side of the door, and decide you'd better hide.

Next.



You quickly duck behind the nearby corner just as one of the creatures burst out of the door. That was a close one, you aren't really prepared for a confrontation just yet.

Next.



You manage to control your bloodlust and stay out of sight while the denizen fiddles with the electronics. After several minutes, it goes back inside. This is your chance!

Next.



The sparks and smoke have been quelled, but you don't think the repairs are finished here. You don't have time to sit around.

Try to reach the vent.



You clumsily scale the compartment and pull yourself up to the entrance. Time to move on before it returns.

Enter vent.



At last, you've officially infiltrated the building. There's only one way to go, so you press on.

Next.



Oh, this grate gives you a different vantage on the room you saw below. It's difficult to see, but you take a second to look inside.

Next.



What is it working on so intently down there? Peering through the slots you see... huh?

Next.



You recoil in shock. Was that what you thought it was? You don't have time to think about it, as you stumble backward and lose your footing.

Next.



The ringing echoes through the vents as you slam into the bottom of the shaft. You heard the crack of something breaking, and... oh no you're leaking fluid!

Wait no, that's transmitter fluid. That sound was just your SLR Transmitter shattering in your inventory.

this small circular robot is beautiful and I want to hug it

>Check status and place now

>...Are you sure this is the right facility? Guess we're gonna have to keep our eye out for an internet/radio connection to contact HQ about this.

>Briefly read paper pasted on wall.
