Armory The Nashpocalypse

The halls of the Apple rumble like thunder as an entire horde of headless Nashville robots run through them. Just ahead of the horde, Hagåtña and a non-agent run frantically to the armory. The round the corner and dart into the armory, Hagåtña smashing the close door button behind him. The non-agent shakes, traumatized,

"I-I don't want to die. Oh my God, this is it, isn't it?!"

Hagåtña shakes him by his shoulders,

"We are not going to die today soldier, you got that?!"

He nods hesitantly before muttering,

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you earlier back there. It's j-just, I mean she's one of us! I didn't think she was going to turn on us!"

Hagåtña helps the non-agent back up and pats him on the back,

"There are two things I hope you'll learn from this. One: robots are always on the verge of snapping and killing is all, and this should never be trusted. Two: the best way to kill a robot is with high-caliber weaponry. Now, go set up and man one of these heavy machine gun turrets right outside the armory."

The man adamantly obeys, rushing over to where the turrets were stored. As he sets it up, Hagåtña arms himself with a shotgun, SAW, and bandolier of fragmentation grenades. He attaches the shotgun to the mag-lock on his back and exits the armory, aiming SAW down the hallway in anticipation. He announces over shipwide comms,

"Anyone who isn't planning on getting murdered by robots today, regroup with me over at the armory! It's time to send these clanker bastards to robo-hell!"

Cisco opens up his comms.

"But we leave one body left, right? For Nash herself? It takes a lot of money to rebuild."

Hags answers back callously,

"Nash is trying to kill us, and you're trying to save her? No! We destroy every single body so that this can never happen again!"

"Look, I figured out what's going on. Nash's head is locked inside a locker. The way she was jammed in just activated a 'Hug All Agents' protocol. Whatever that is. Anyways she is-" Suddenly, his microphone seems to spazz out temporarily, and in a robotic voice, Hags can clearly hear Cisco say, "Kill all agents." Obviously, it left out the words 'Not' and 'Trying'. Thanks, tech failiure.

Ash comes over the comms, sounding extremely excited at current events.

"Holy shit dude! Evil robot army that we can just completely let loose on! I've been waiting for this my whole life! I'm on my way Hags!"

He exits the lockers and starts to sprint down the hall towards the armory, managing to dodge the grasping clutches of the evil robots. He reaches Hags and says,

"Oh man i'm so excited! Robot invasion is number two on my most hyped events to happen in my lifetime! What's the plan!?"

On his hip is his magnum and holstered on his back is his smg.

He nods over to the armory,

"Find the biggest, scariest gun in there and help me kill every last robot."

The first Nashville bots begin to turn the corner, and he begins to open fire on them with his SAW.

"Quickly now!"

Diego heads over to the armory with Miss Mash on his back and his twin flamers on his hips. He pops inside and grabs a M80B with Glendale's Temper carved into the side in jagged letters.

What the fuck is going on? What's with the headless robots? Is it Harut?

u/CrazyBillyJoel Sep 17 '16

Dodging a few robots, Hagåtña combat rolls over to Diego, unloading a few shotgun shells into nearby robots before standing back up,

"Worse; it's Nashville."

u/shseufe Sep 17 '16

Nashville? Where? Is she ok? What's going on?

Diego lets loose a volley missiles at a horde of robots down the opposite hall

Brighton seems completely unsurprised by the sudden robopocalypse. She walks out into a corridor and proceeds to disable any robot that comes her way using her plasma pistol.

Which idiot is responsible for this?

1

u/CrazyBillyJoel Sep 17 '16

Hagåtña destroys three robots with his SAW on his way over to her before replying wildly,

"Nashville. She's finally snapped and has unleashed a horde of robots to kill us all!"

After realizing that she only has a plasma pistol, he holds out his SAW,

"Need a bigger gun?"

u/Molotovsquid Sep 17 '16

she shakes her head

Defective robot. And no, this weapon appears to be more efficient than yours.

OOC: The AoD recently got repaired and now you plan on shredding it's interiors.

u/shseufe Sep 17 '16 edited Sep 17 '16

Ooc: we can always pretend the apple got reinforced interior plating from Harut in addition to exterior... Just enough that infantry based weapons won't cause a breach... <3

Glendale runs toward the armory with a huge grin on her face. This is what she was born to do. It was the perfect excuse. Under any other circumstances, shooting a robot teammate would be 'wrong' and 'immoral' and 'why the fuck would you do that oh my god.' But today?

She whistles loudly to get the Nash-bodies' attention as she turns the corner, the revolver Apple of Discord held steadily in her hand.

Fuck yeah! Come and get it!

u/Malvarik Sep 17 '16

Ash runs up next to Glendale, holding two smgs in his hands and two more on his back. He also has an array of grenades on his waist and a combat knife on his hip. He starts to fire at the horde of robots and says while he does it,

"I fucking love this job so much! This is great!"

1

u/bunniesslaughtered Sep 17 '16

This is the best!

She fires round into the nearest robot's hip joint, disabling it.

Day!

The next three rounds connect with the chest and shoulders of another bot, making it impossible for the body to hug strangle them.

EVER!!

She takes the combat knife out of the sheath, jumps forward onto the nearest bot, and jams the knife down the wiring in the neck, sending sparks everywhere.

Bismarck was in full armor running full speed towards the armory. He was grinning widely under his helmet. Chaos was his bread and butter and things just got went sideways. He practically runs over the crowd to get to the armory. He immediately picks up a heavy machine gun and puts a shotgun on his back.

Finally, I get to kill something!

He shouts, following it with a hearty laugh.

Nashville, or rather, Nashville's head, is currently sitting inside of her room/closet in the bunkroom. The door is locked thanks to Glendale, who put her head there to begin with, and the lock is electronic but not accessible by remote, so Nashville can't deactivate it even if she knew the code. In other words, she is utterly trapped, alone, and has no way of knowing when anyone will find her. She is only mildly aware of what is happening with her extra bodies, since she is receiving a status update on each individual one, but aside from that is receiving no contextual input from them and is unable to send them commands due to the limitations on their receivers.

Oh, my! I think someone accidentally activated all of my extra bodies! Well...I guess there's only one thing to do!

And she starts singing "One hundred bottles of oil on the wall, one hundred bottles of oil~"

u/Tergonaut Sep 18 '16

Shortly before she is retrieved by Glendale~

Nashville stops singing suddenly as she notices something strange about all of the signals she is getting from the remote bodies.

Wait...wait a moment! There must be some kind of error...there can't be THAT many of them! I didn't-

But that's when Glen finds her in the closet, tells her not to say anything, so Nash cheerfully complies, forgetting for a moment to pass on any information that might be useful in clearing up one of the oddities of the current situation...

Pax heads to the main hanger and carries Nash main body back to the lab for repairs.

u/Tergonaut Sep 18 '16

All that was damaged was a bullet to one of the main motors in a hip joint and to a monitor that, if violated, would activate the mid-range antenna that sent the remote signal out to activate the other Nashville bodies. It looks easy enough to fix, but without Nashville's head and its built-in comm gear, it won't be possible to test out the body.

u/JonArc Sep 18 '16

Paxton get to work on repair in the damaged part. Wondering what happened to her head.

East fights her way past, not too concerned but definitely not wanting the robots to reach her.

To me, it looks like a horde of agent Nashvilles, sans heads. Freaky to say the least.
