@Legendofgenii

Williams kept watch for anyone around.

---

Waffle hid behind one of the crates.

---

"Whoa, that was cool," said Flor.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

Tabitha held onto Jack's hand as Barrett tried the door, which was unlocked.

There was a man sitting at a desk inside. He looked up at the sound of the door opening, furrowing his brow when he saw the group. He said something in German as they entered, standing up from his seat.

---

The whirring sound was coming from one of the broken robots. Somehow it had activated when the group had entered the storage room, its eyes glowing a soft golden brown. Shakily, it forced itself up from its spot leaning against a nearby box, the mechanical noises becoming louder. It stumbled around for a few seconds, looking like it was trying to make sense of where it was.

Upon closer inspection, the group would have been able to see that the robot was missing an arm. It groaned, swaying in place, when it finally caught sight of everyone standing near the crates... and then proceeded to scream incoherently and nearly tumble over backwards.

---

The group was shrouded in darkness as they made their way through the hole in the vault door. The vault was dimly lit, like the last room. But, just like the hangar back in the London factory, it was huge as well.

And sure enough, if the group squinted through the darkness, they would have been able to see the faint silhouette of a Titan standing some distance away.

"They really are here, too," Callahan said quietly. "The exact same weapons... being built in an enemy factory."

[Legendofgenii]

“Don’t get up on my be’alf.“ Lady Barrett told the man at the desk. He strode over to attempt to restrain the guy.

---

Shepherd looked terrified, and screamed just as loudly as the robot did.

---

“Doesn’t surprise me.” Callan grumbled. “I only see one.” Which he supposed was a good thing.

[alliascompany]

@Aeroyeen

Waffle threw a canister at the robot in a panic.

---

Flor shivered.
"These things creep me out, " she said.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

Tabitha went to guard the door, while Holl awkwardly stood in place, unsure of what they should do.

The man's scowl deepened as Lady Barrett approached him, backing up a few steps.

---

The canister bounced off the robot's head, landing at its feet and rolling away. The robot yelped as it was struck, going stock stiff. It didn't move for a long moment, nor did it make any noise.

"...did it calm down?" Nash asked.

The robot, in fact, had not calmed down. Its eyes changed from a golden yellow to the same glow of red that Melvin's had had back in the London factory. When it came to seconds later, it bared its metal teeth, lowering its head and charging at the group.

---

"But if the Titans were being kept under such tight wraps in London, then how would..." Callahan trailed off. "Ach, never mind. Let's just get to breaking them."

He set off for the nearest Titan, preparing to jab into the foot of it with his crook-turned-sword.

---

@Pi-Eta

Melvin beeped anxiously. "How's it coming along?" he asked. "Do we need to move to another storage room yet?"

[Pi-Eta]

"I'm waiting for the others. Just be patient."

@alliascompany

The hell's going on? he shot to Waffle.

[Legendofgenii]

“Sit.” Barrett aggressively advised. It wasn’t too dissimilar from sitz/seat, so hopefully the man understood. The disguised Siren assisted by giving him an unfriendly shove.

---

“I think you made it angry.” Shepherd hummed in a nervous tone. He screamed again as the robot charged them. Human-Connie gave the elf a shove to make him move out of the way.

---

“Be careful.” Callan said before checking the room for tools.

[alliascompany]

"Sorry about this," said Williams as he approached the man.

---

@Pi-Eta

"Uh, we woke up a robot," answered Waffle. "Scrats!"

He fired a plasma shot at the mechanical being.

---

Flor looked for any tools to dismantle the titan.

[Pi-Eta]

Well hurry up then!

@Aeroyeen

"They triggered a robot or something," Owl muttered to Melvin. "You think you could get away with grabbing memory discs? I need to know exactly how to reconstruct them."

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

The man fell back into his seat as Barrett shoved him. He spat something else in German as Williams approached him too, looking poised to fight if either of them made a move.

---

Waffle's plasma shot landed on the robot's leg. It gave out underneath him, and he almost collapsed, but was able to save himself just before he went down. Letting out an animalistic growl, the robot pulled back up, limping towards Waffle.

---

There was a table on one of the walls. If Cal and Flor approached it, they would see it was covered in a variety of large, somewhat scary-looking hand tools.

---

@Pi-Eta

Melvin looked reluctant to leave Florence's body behind. Hesitantly, he set her down next to Owl before bolting off to find a spare memory disc.

[Legendofgenii]

“Same ter you.” Barrett said, assuming the man wasn’t saying anything nice.

“Got anythin’ ter tie ‘im up with?” He asked the others.

Jack discreetly explored the man’s office.

---

“Stop it!” Shepherd started picking up tools and robot parts, to toss at the possessed robot. “You leave him alone!”

---

Callan picked up one of the vicious-looking tools and raised a concerned brow. “Reminds me of Barrett’s cellar.”

He selected something he could use to prise open panels on the Titan.

[alliascompany]

@Legendofgenii
Williams looked for anything they could use to tie up the man with.

---

"Nope, nope, nope!" Said Waffle, firing again.

---

"I don't think I even want to ask, " said Flor, picking up a tool herself.

[Legendofgenii]

“No, you really don’t.” Callan agreed before hurrying over to join Callahan by the Titan.

[Pi-Eta]

Owl took the opportunity to walk around and see where the defective units would be.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

"Uh... nothing I have," Tabitha admitted, checking over her person.

While Jack explored the office, he would have come across a long cord stuffed away in one of the cabinets.

---

The robot screamed again as Waffle's second round landed directly in his chest. Swaying, his bad leg eventually folded underneath him, and he collapsed with a loud clang on the concrete floor. He lay there, whimpering, as his eyes faded from red back to gold.

@Pi-Eta

While Owl was scouring the floor, he may have been able to faintly hear the commotion coming from the storage room the tear gas group was in.

---

Callahan was busy using his sword to wrench the metal plates around the Titan's foot free.

The group was able to work in silence for a bit, when a thin, ghostly groan suddenly echoed throughout the hangar.

[Legendofgenii]

“Shame.” Barrett said with a smile. “S’pose we’ll ‘ave ter do him in then.”

Jack had pulled the cord out of the cabinet and was playing with it, as if it were one of Zenith’s ribbons.

---

Shepherd ran over to stand behind Waffle, tugging Connie along.

---

Callan paused, hearing the ghostly moan. “… I really hope that was somebody’s stomach.”

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

“Guess so,” Tabitha said, staring down the man.

“W- wait!” Holl said. “Look what Jack’s got. Could we use that to tie him up?”

---

The robot was down for the count, its attempts at charging down the group abandoned as it lay crumpled in front of them.

“…that was a person once,” Jericho said quietly.

---

Callahan froze as well when he heard the groan. “It uh… it certainly wasn’t mine,” he said uneasily in response to Callan.

The sound of gears rotating and metal creaking soon joined the faint wailing.

[Pi-Eta]

What was that noise? he asked Waffle. I heard it all the way up here.

[alliascompany]

@Legendofgenii

"Wait! I think Jack found something," said Williams. He ran over to Jack and tried to take the rope. "I need to borrow this, okay?"

---

@Pi-Eta
Waffle suddenly felt awful.
"I shot it..." he said. Waffle slowly approached the robot and knelt by it. "Uh... can you understand me?"

---

"O-or mine," said Flor. She jumped when the gears began creaking. "D-did we turn something on?"

[Legendofgenii]

Jack was reluctant to hand over his new plaything, but after remembering what happened with Ronah, he held out the cord to Williams.

“-‘urry up then.” Barrett sounded impatient, as always.

---

“B-be careful.” Shepherd worried as Waffle got closer to the fallen robot.

---

It was still too dark to see what was approaching, but Callan stepped in front of Flor protectively - armed with the crowbar he’d borrowed from the desk.
