Attack of the Evil Grandfathers: Salvo
The Baxter Building's security was on high alert. Just as it should be. All the more cameras to watch the people line up and start beating against the glass. Pressed close as a riot. Pounding on the doors until their hands bruised, blistered, and bled..

Zeb didn't stand with them, of course. He was out of sight... but near enough that the pheremones wouldn't wear off easy. Not for a long, long time. He'd had this crowd primed.

	"Just cause he's loose doesn't mean he's the only person who might attack us!" Jordan calls, on hearing 'robots', moving to respond. And then pauses on seeing them. "Box... robots...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason processes what he's seeing, and just sputters with incoherent rage for almost a full minute. "Oh... Oh it is ON! It is SO on!" He starts rushing forward, pushing back the edges of his jacket to have the flasks of raw material at his belt ready to access. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The Thinker watched the battle underway and softly spoke brief commands. "Atlantean countermeasures. Expected to take results in twenty point three seconds."

A pair of the robots unleashed wide bursts of searing heat at Nim and her sister.

"Dragon-battle form. Expected. Counter-measures with a 89% certainty."

One of the robots unleashed a freeze-ray on Alex's cold-blooded form.

"Jeffries and Bouches. Emotional responses carefully calculated. Estimated 15% decrease in effectiveness."

The other robots opened fire on Mason and Jordan.

	"Guys, we have a lot of enemies. It could be any of them. Just because he's loose doesn't mean every threat will be..." Jordan is cut off by a hail of fire, trying to get in front of his brother. "That stings. Who upgraded the weapon systems?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Jordan, I got this!" Mason shouts over the sudden din of the attack. One of his flasks had already been drawn and turned into a blast shield in front of him. He currently making another one into a chemical-based impact grenade as Nim and Alex came under attack. "Where the heck did they get Dad's designs from?" He lobs the explosive at the robots.

	The robots, so far, are weathering the attacks pretty well. Their armor is sophisticated, and seem especially prepared for chemically oriented attacks. Things are a little off schedule, but some of the Canadian heroes had been difficult to predict, even for his models. The robots pressed their attacks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Once the initial shock wears off, Jordan gets into the swing of the fight. He's worked on some of the systems, knows the Box specs.

"No, you don't got this." he calls over coms.

"These things don't have Maddison piloting, so they probably make up for the adaptability by being specialized. So far, they're picking who is fighting who. We need to change it up. Mason, give us some walls, channel the fight towards me and give people something defensive to work with.

Alex, get out of the big form. You're a big target and they have heavy firepower. Try turning into something small enough to get into vents and intakes, then try and mess them up from inside as an electric eel or something - but don't try and match them blow for blow.

Mel, get into something safe, and start scouting for an active mind or emotions or anything around you can affect. If they're not being piloted, they may be being controlled. I want to know which.

Everyone else, take cover when Mason puts up shields, let me take the brunt, then launch a counter assault."

"Yes sir." Mason replies promptly, moving to follow Jordan's instructions.

He tries to get a lay of where the enemies are, then starts putting up the walls, giving his teammates time to get to cover where they want it before sealing up gaps in between them. He manages to inhale a few power bars along the way, but the defensive perimeter he's creating is going to start to strain him soon enough. If any robots try to come around the walls where they're not wanted, spikes suddenly spring up from them, impaling the constructs at their joints.

	And the whispers start in the air around Alpha Flight eventually. "Over out on the Street. Parked Car. Someone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight Headquarters strongbox 2013-05-24 06:05 am UTC (link)
	Jordan moves to become the obvious target at the gap in his brother's construction, trying to channel robots towards him, instead of having them start trying to blast in at other points. "I'll hold the attention here. Korra, can you follow Mel's directions, and try and find out who that is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight Headquarters nextgen_baddie 2013-05-24 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	The robots continued to direct the majority of their firepower at Jordan. The Thinker, meanwhile, began to feel slightly apprehensive. "Reactions... not as disrupted as planned. Possibility of total failure is forty-percent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan just digs in, holding up under the firepower. It isn't pleasant, but he's managing to provide a point of cover for the moment. While caught off guard, and still heavily outgunned - if they can pinpoint the controls, they don't need to beat all the suits. Just stop the point they're controlled from.

	Alex slipped into a crack in the robot's armor and flew inside. He shifted into a mouse, and while it was tight quarters, there was enough room. He started chewing on some wires. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason continues keeping up the defensive formation, making the walls higher and thicker, giving the robots fewer and fewer options to maneuver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
