Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I actually thought Kiro would be just inside with Megan just outside of the force field, but apparently not...))

While Megan walks over to one of the scrap transports, she leaves the reinforcements to keep Kiro busy while she broadcasts the order. Megan isn't done with the fight, but she does need to make preparations to isolate the factory, then starve everyone out.

The hooded hedgehog just stood there as he watch the scrap transporter snatch up Megan. He could have just tried to stop her, but it looked like he was waiting for something. Just then, other reinforcement robots and transporters came up from down the streets pointing their projectiles at him. No doubt she plans on making preparations to flush them out. He had faith that they should know a way to slip in and put of the force field undetected. But for now, the young shrouded youth now has to fend for himself as he cracks his knuckles. "Lets see how Old Egghead's new products improved over the years. I maybe a bit slow, but at least I had time to catch my breathe since my last fight. So I should have enough stamina for a little brawl", he thought and pounded his fists together like how knuckles does when he gets ready to to make a mess. Even though he still had a few deep injuries under his shrouds, they have already closed up and the pain has gone away. But he really needs to be careful now to reopen them until he can find a chance to rest properly.

Using the three-dimensional model file from TD-51, Megan is able to locate every potential subterranean escape route as well as all the shutoff valves for water and methane, as well as the electrical substation for power, and data lines to the factory. Megan orders the substation to cut off power, which will immediately start the methane-fueled diesel backup generation system, but Megan will shut that down, as well as any intrusion attempts into the substation (along with the physical copper that would restore power) as soon as she climbs down the manhole the scrap transport is stopping at with the chop saw that comes on it.

As soon as the first bot would fire along with the others to follow, the hooded hedgehog leaps toward the droid, evading the shot. Before the rest of the laser shots came with in an inch away, he bounces off the the first bot's head toward one of the floating scrap transports. he latches on to its side and quickly flips to the top side to avoid thier fire. Underneath, the shrouded youth drew in there fire toward the above as they accidentally began damaging the scrap transports, attempting to shoot through to get to their target. Half the scrapers began to smoke from the shots as the undamaged ones tried to aim thier turrets at the little black streak. The scrapper he stood on along began to lose its balance from the damage it took. He hops and stomps the side of the carrier so hard, he aimed its fall toward the remaining undamaged floaters. The turrets fire but he leaps over while the crashing scrap transport smashes into them before they could fire. The first damaged fleet came down into the streets, smashing the fireing army underneath. Next came down an even larger number of the tranporter, the ones Kiro just rammed the first ine into. As they crashed lined up like dominos in the sky into a building, larges pieces and scraps came down flying everywhere into the crowd of bots below. Many robots became crush underneath at the precise positions of the hooded hedgehog's sight. This whole time, he barely even lifted a finger and all he did was used their weapon aiming and the transports size and weigh to his advantage. "Looks like thier aim improved a bit, but they still dont see exactly where thier aiming. Get them every time", he thought and smirked falling down along with the crashing scraps. The crashes kicked up alot of dusty debris and left over half of the crowd of reinforcements quickly smashed. But did the black shrouded hedgehog get smashed along with them?

A drafty figure stood over the rubble of crushed robots before the remaining bots. The dust cleared to reveal it was the mysterious black vigilante hedgehog holding one of the turrets from the scrap transporters like a Gatling gun. He quickly rewired a few circuit to set the turret on rapid fire, causing it to charge up. He maybe not know much about hacking or robotics, but weapons are apparently like tinker toys to him.

D.L kept his position as he rested but was in deep thought, he wondered how long it'd be before Megan comes in and tries to kill him. He had known Megan was very good at trapping her prey though before striking and wondered if she was doing something like that to get him, D.L wouldn't easily be fooled though if shes planning anything but he wasn't in the greatest shape right now. He knew she'd be able to kill him right now if she wanted to try but of course he wouldn't go down easy, he had his ways of getting out barely alive and wondered why he had so much luck. D.L wouldn't really call this lucky though since Iblis kept on trying to help him, he hated it when Iblis kept going too close for comfort and it made him feel nervous.

D.L's ears twitched again but slightly in annoyance, he'd rather not think about Iblis and her weird behavior towards him. It just seemed like she was planning something secretly and normally no one was nice to him, so it made him wonder if she is just out to get something or planning to take him off guard. D.L didn't trust anyone before, so why start now? He wondered if he could trust again but lately it's been hard, nothing seemed to show that trustworthy feeling anymore or warmth. Sure he had felt warm feelings slightly towards Iblis somewhat for her kindness but he couldn't trust her, not when it seems so suspicious to him.

Not only were the useless cannon-fodder units (like the E-1001 eggpawns) distracting Kiro from Megan's work, they were also trying to keep him from interfering with the bulk lifters which are now hovering around the factory with heavy portable fortification modules chained under them. Construction units on the ground guide the lifters and sections into position, then give the signal to drop, and all the lifters drop their cargo at the same time, violently shaking the ground and cracking the asphalt. The same construction units now connect the sections together with heavy bolts and pins.

Meanwhile, a concrete mixer backs up to the manhole that Megan just climbed out of, and she folds out the chute to pour into the cavity as the operating unit reverses the direction the barrel is spinning to move the concrete up, out, and into the utility convergence. Another transport then arrives with slaves in long rubber boots and rebar, with MR-01 units armed with electric prods, tasers, and a .50 caliber machine gun on the turret in case any of them decides to rebel. Megan points to the hole, and the MR-01 slavers start prodding the slaves until they pick up the steel rebar and descend into the hole while wet concrete is still falling down into it.

Iblis heard Nina and tilted her head slightly in confusion. "What do you mean...? Why would he care about me...?" Iblis asked, just as quietly as Nina. She had also noticed D.L's ears twitching too, and had a feeling that he wasn't fully asleep. Iblis couldn't shake the feeling though, that D.L's kindness was Light's influence. Iblis heard the techs and frowned. Something was going on, and it wasn't good. There was nothing they could do at the moment though, as far as Iblis was concerned. "Looks like we'll be stuck here for a while..." Iblis mumbled quietly under her breath.

As Megan checks in at the nearest transport to the latest chatter, the last of the utilities (including data) to the factory are getting cut off, and wet concrete is filling every possible underground escape route, including the old sewer that Light, Nina, Kiro, and Ilbis used to enter the factory in the first place. The backup generation system would automatically and seamlessly switch to its store of liquid fuel, which Megan calculates with the minimum amount of current the survivors could be using that it will last 12,445.33 minutes, or just over eight and a half days, with the force field being the largest consumer of current. The portable fortification pieces are in place and heavy weapon emplacements are on their way.
