Sharp (two) : Entry : LOG ENCRIPTION 6190765416

by Sandcrab Rex Miller

After the rookie agent misses me. Sharp takes a blast from the Gyro Bot that knocks her back falling to a knee, she's stunned! My Heads Up Display is flashing multiple threats targeting me and defensive systems have dropped to 50%. Seems like a theme, Destroyers robots explode upon defeat. Actually pretty smart way to protect your tech. I can hear Cypher complaining that I destroyed what he wants as an add to his army.
 
I decide it is a good time to go on the defense and tunnel under the trucks and pull Sharpe to safety. Scanning her, no broken bone, just the breath knocked out of her from the Gyro Bot's blast. Sharpe catches her breath, "Let's get back to the fight!" she says eagerly.
 
"Hold on a second, I have to catch my breath." If she feels I need it a second to recover, she might reassess her own condition too.
 
"Right, right, okay." says Sharp and we both take a second to clear hour heads. On my HUD screen power levels jump up to 90%, back in the green.
 
As I dig my way out I leave Sharp in the open hole (glad to give her cover), I see Cypher at the gate. Looks like he's welcoming The Hot Shot to the fight. Never complain about extra good guys! I wall crawl up the side of the building chasing after the second Gyro Bot eager to destroy it I hit it head on, forgetting how tough it is to knock back! I might be running headlong into a steel wall? Luckily, I overcome it's stabilizers and it is knocked back a bit. Little victories, lucky that panned out. However I put myself in a bad position, engaged with a bot and only a few meters away from two armed agents. The agents fire at me, but miss. I hear Sharps energy weapon fire and the agent at my back is stunned. Down below Cypher and The Hot Shot are cleaning up.
 
Target HUD analyzes a plan of attack with high odds of success due to Sharp stunning the agent behind me. I execute the attack plan, a pulled kick to the stunned agent knocks him off the building (his armor should protect him from to much damage hitting the ground), an pulled extended leg punch to the agent on the stairs results a square hit and he goes down and a coup de gras strike finishes the second Gryo Bot. Combat over and Sharp tends to the agent that hit the ground. I was worried for a second, thinking I had over done it. She's helping him, so he's okay.
 
We clean up the site, scrounge what is useful and destroy the rest. I note the location and add it to my weekly patrol, just in case they are dumb enough to re-populate.
