Bio
I actually really hate bios, so if you'd like to gather the scope of my skills as a writer, or see my interests: Simply talk to me.
I don't bite.

Are you still looking for people or are you going to pull a 1x1 with Sypher? ^-^
I was interested up until the dice rolling combat style. Unfortunately that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I know you won't change it but I wanted to post this just to say one thing:
I love your setting, and the description is great.

The entire station was warped by the pulse of energy, twisting and moving it just that little bit faster to make what was once a gentle list, into a slow rotating monolith. The motion would now be visible to the eye and would be quite alarming to the owners of the nearby station. The machine hardly moved through the entire event, shuddering from the impact but otherwise completely fine. The pulse also knocked out the secondary power generator, meaning every light in the station went down and several doors slammed shut as an emergency protocol.
"We do not allow uncertainty. You are being held as a countermeasure. We will not allow your accomplice to perish however." The machine stated, moving slowly towards the gaping hole that had been created in the station. It was three meters wide and still smoldering, revealing the emptiness of space in some of the thinner areas. However, no major holes were prevalent. Nexus took a little run and carefully leaped over the hole, using two arms to push its weight back onto the ground on the other side. Nexus couldn't pinpoint the man's location so it quickly ran decisions through consensus.
The machine gently dropped and pushed its prisoner forwards, using two hands to retrieve a sort of pistol from somewhere on its back. It was simple in design, but made a great hum of energy when the robot flicked a switch.
"Search for your comrade. Radio contact or actions deemed as attempts to escape will be met with incapacitation." It urged, motioning with another of its four limbs for the man to go in search of his friend.

I'm just waitin' on some other people to post really.

Still here. Waiting as well for some other people to post. :)

Nexus had already devised a trap. Rudimentary in design, but quite effective. When Dr. Lee stepped foot into the room, his boot sank into a tile on the floor. It was a pressure trap and by the time that was realized, it was much too late. Makeshift gravity generators positioned at the door flickered on and the whole section of floor beneath the doctor moved like a seesaw on a pivot. It flung him forwards by one foot and due to the mag-locks on his boots, his whole body followed. The gravity generators then took to work as the section of flooring lost power. It wasn't a great amount of gravity, just half a G, but it was enough to send the doctor face first into a solid hunk of metal which seemed to coil around him.
The door had long since closed, sealing off any chance of rescue before the machine was good and ready. Dr. Lee would feel his whole axis twist twice, once from the trap and twice from the machine manipulating him to stand straight again. Nexus' optic lit up, illuminating the room in royal blue. Two composite robotic arms wrapped around the man, keeping his arms locked tight against his sides, unable to even budge an inch.
"Remain calm and silent. We do not wish to harm you but will if you attempt to harm us. Our goal is self-preservation. You and ourselves share a common goal. Let us leave the station in peace without injury to either side." It paused, beginning to move towards the door before stopping abruptly.
"We assume you have a communication device to reach those individuals on the other side of this door. We suggest you inform them the gravity generators are about to explode, as it will cause casualties if you do not." The machine suddenly backed up, turning its back to protect the human from resulting shrapnel.
The gravity generators were shoddy at best. Cobbled together with hastily torn apart office scrap and artificial mass made from scraps of the primary generator. They were currently heating up by hundreds of degrees by the second and would soon explode violently. The explosion would actually obliterate the door and both areas on either side, so getting the human infiltrators away was of highest priority.
"We estimate you have five seconds to inform them to move fifty feet away to take cover." Nexus ended, moving behind a machine which looked like an antique CAT scanner.
