The M.I.S.E (Faction) (Update 8: REOPENED!)

killercat625 The crew of the ship gather around the object and inspect it

Its little photo receptor looked at them as it crawled back a bit

"Unknown creatures found, logging in databank" it said in a deep metallic voice
The little droid had the Omega logo burned into it, like all Omega droids.

The ship's engineer comes with a weird, black tether tube from the engine section of the ship, and attaches it to the surface of the droid, after roling the droid onto a black mat.

The thing walked back more as he was doing this, before its rift drive activated

"Emergency protocol one, Unhand me foolish fleshys"
The rift tore right between the tube, the tear began sucking oxygen, the tube, and a slight pull on the crew for a few seconds before it stabilized and stopped sucking up things

"hmph"
Says the Engineer, as he generates a weird device from his pocked, which he places on in-between of the disconnected tube pieces and lights up, generating some kind of flare from within it.

The thing began trying to run into the rift

Fort_Master_Gustav

killercat625 "FIre it up!"
Yells the engineer, as some kind of switch is activated and the droid is drained of all energy through means already previously explained, hitting the metallic ground with a loud thud.

The droids core began to try and overdrive to remake the needed power, as the thing began shaking

Fort_Master_Gustav

killercat625
Whatever energy the drives generated was relayed somewhere else and then dissipated through a means unknown to the droid, the lights of the ship began to glow more brightly as the surge of energy highetened, but it wasn't near enough to cause a short-circuit or to overheat the electrical cables.

The Reactor went overdrive, as the thing let out a small, only around 7 foot explosion of blue light and energy with such a powerful blast, that the metal that was there was sent flying in melted splats, any flesh in there rapidly melted and disintegrated with the blast. Though, the explosion was really contained

"It makes perfect sense, someone wants to provoke a war, now whether that is because they are from the faction they claim to be, and want a reason to look like a great protector to their race, or that they are from another faction and want to bog down some rivals in a meat grind, remains to be seen. I'm afraid I can't help you there."
He looks at the Engineer with a more serious expression.
"Ah, I was wondering, do you think you could report that you repelled our assault as a total wipe... Me and the boys were planning on doing this mission then FTLing to the inner core, we are tired of working for the Confederacy, I get 5 creds a week, that's commander pay. and frankly we're dog tired."
He looks thoughtful.
"Actually, could you use a few hands here? We wouldn't need much, just food and lodgings, I know it's a lot to ask, especially after the manner in which we arrived, but I assure you that we are not mindless mercs, well... not entirely at any rate."

Fort_Master_Gustav

Tson The Head Engineer closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, spins around on the swiveling chair and then faces the commander again:
"Hmmm, here? It depends, what's your curriculum, your formations? We are always in the need of brilliant engineers, scientists, capable repairman and builders keen in the art of high-pressure building, you'd just need to go through a psychology test, some physical and mental health tests, and that'd be all. IF you don't qualify, I'm sure we can reintegrate you into Musavian society, after all, we do have our fair share of aliens who come here to appreciate the climate."

Tson

"Well, My own head engineer is a real wizard, he should be able to help you out, apart from that though, we're just soldiers, but we are... were the second senior Marie force in the STC, and we'd be more than happy to fight your battles for you, it's only the STC we are unwilling to serve further in that regard, besides that my men could teach yours about our Pressure suits and weapons, as it seems you don't have anything similar yourself given those kinetic autorifles your security people were pointing at us. The STC is a monster, it thrives on the misery of others, while it arguably does it less than other merc companies, that doesn't make it any less blameless, and quite frankly we are sick of it."
He looks pensive again.
"At least, almost all of us are, there are a few who won't be cooperative... I didn't want to say anything out there, but i'm going to give you some names, there are a few who I think will try to resist still, but they won't do so until they get an order from me that won't be coming, or when they find out i've had this conversation with you. The rest of my men however are just as tired of the STC as I am, and are loyal to me, we've been through a lot recently and I've tried to be an approachable officer."

The Head Engineer leans back, and gets a pistol from out of his hip, he inspects it, pulling metal sliders and other mechanisms, he pulls back the top, gives it one last good look, points it at the commander's head, and....

"You're a dead man now, Bort. And free to go. This place is os the utmost secrecy and I'd like to keep it that way, so we may even have to knock you out so that you don't recall the location, maybe in the future we'll meet again. but for now, you and your crew will be brought to the surface, and be given the choice to contact any peers you have to come pick you up, or integrate yourselves to society, the specifics will be dealt with later... for now, that's all."

He picks up a mug that was on the table and looks into it, it appears to have coffe, he takes a sip and shows a slight face of disgust, then lifts himself up, passes beyond Bort giving two taps to his shoulder, and leaves the room. Then Bort is escorted to another room, which looks like a cafeteria, where most of the other STC are, some are getting bruises looked after by some Musavian medics due to the kinetic force from decompression on the explosions.

(They obviously don't have their sidearms anymore btw)

Fort_Master_Gustav

killercat625 How'd it overdrive if any energy it outputs is drained? Thing's dead lad, reactor's probably deactivated because it doesn't have energy to keep itself running.

killercat625

Fort_Master_Gustav

Its a Plasma Reactor, The more it tries to output the more heat and stress is put on the reactor, which would cause it to explode since it uses a sort of tank of fuel, or plasma

Fort_Master_Gustav

killercat625 Every type of reactor needs enough energy to keep itself running, since it's a plasma reactor, in which I assume it has some type of containement, the plasma would cool down and the magnets would stop working because of the lack of energy, after all you need energy to heat up material to the plasma state.

killercat625

Fort_Master_Gustav

The heat came from 2 little sort of rods, and they had a flat pad at the end that spun around the core and fed it the heat and fuel mixture it needed to run, which it used a tiny re-chargable battery for it, which had its countermeasures for EMP tech and that sort of stuff, so if the energy was being drained from it the battery would cause the fuel in the tank to heat up due to emergency protocol 2, and that is if a droid is caught, use any self destruction mean necessary. Think of it like a tank with a lighter in the fuel tank, and if its caught it would just light the fuel on fire and blow itself up

Ultranova

killercat625 EMP tech and that sort of stuff

Knowing this tech, no, that wouldn't be enough.

Fort_Master_Gustav

killercat625 I think it's as UltrabLast says, this technology is basically a drain of energy by just creating a gigantic necessity of energy at the generator, making the electrons rush there, not really an EMP, it's like if you were discharging the energy yourself... Why even bring something here if you won't admit defeat?

(I wonder what would happen if the Uno Reverse Card had actual reversal powers 🤔)

RedAndCosmoteer

Ultranova Probably applied the technique of the TEC to the drone

The door of the subway station opens revealing two scientists, and on the center a Musavian with considerably grayer skin, he emanates an aura of impossible calmness... perhaps it is just a wise sage? Or is it a cold calculation as a facet so that people undermine him? Nonetheless, he introduces himself:

"Welcome to the S.O.R.B! I am the Head Engineer, I oversee the construction and operation of most of things around here with the help of my assistants, beside me are my most trusted physicists Dosvith Stavath and Ankhbet Dumos, they run the physics part of the facility, and will be accompanying us"
