Fairy Tail: We Are Family

Isek grits his teeth. This was very bad. The only time he'd ever been this outmatched was when the Guildmaster thrashed him. He couldn't beat him, but he could get some answers. But not from the position he was in. Sending a chain around his neck under his shirt collar, he suddenly thrusts his neck onto Ander's blade. Ander would be prepared for Isek to try to move back, he wouldn't expect him to do something this seemingly suicidal. Using his chains for extra push, Isek flips himself over the blade, propelling himself back far enough that he can dodge and flee if Ander makes a move.
"What's going on, Ander? Why the Hell are you attacking these people?! You know what will happen, what could you possibly get from this?!"

Fairy Tail: We Are Family

Isek realized he couldn't stop running in time, so he sends out his chains behind him in order to launch himself backwards out of reach. He knew who Ander was even before joining Fairy Tail. Bound Fenrir had been a Dark Guild, and they'd faced or heard of most mage hunters in the area. The main thing would be keeping Ander from touching him or anything made from his magic.
Isek grinned. Good thing he'd never made the mistake of relying entirely on direct attacks. "Chain Magic: Collision Field!" Isek redirects his chains to ring the area, hurling huge chunks of debris at Ander from all sides. Even if Ander dodged or tanked the nonmagical material, it would set up his follow-up attack since any deflected or dodged debris would be bounced back by the chains. The speed would increase with each redirect and as the debris got broken further it would get harder and harder to dodge. If Ander didn't dodge or deflect he'd get pummeled and if he did he'd create a shrapnel cloud with him in the center.

BLADE runs through its database. It lacks any information on Kath hounds, kinrath, and iriaz. It weighs the pros and cons of pursuing an unknown species for further information and lacking that information. It decides to instead gather any relevant data from the holonet.

everyone done posting before I respond?@Sirkaithethird@Burning Kitty@slayerofkings

@TheUnknowable

Yes

Fairy Tail: We Are Family

Isek nods. "Right." He extends his chains and uses them to quickly close the distance between himself and his destination.
As he moves he reflects on what's happened. When dealing with a Fire Mage containing them was key. Pay attention only to them and they'd keep using the other fires for an advantage. Try to deal with the other fires and they'd set more of them and have a shot at your back. The best way to deal with them was to starve them of fuel and put them down as quickly as possible. Isek begins working out strategies based on the terrain. The methods this maniac was using indicated they were obsessed with something. That would hopefully lead to something he could exploit to cause tunnel vision and gain and advantage. Or just pummel them until they were weak enough to be bound, either one worked.

BLADE surveys the group. Inferior humanoid specimens. Their supplies are worth more than them. BLADE briefly considers slaughtering them for their supplies before discarding the idea. The short-term gain would be outweighed by the long-term cost. Its voice unit releases a brief burst of white noise before its voice is heard.
"This unit is designated Battle L-Class Assault Droid Elite. (White noise) This unit...I...I am programmed for physically terminating life-forms, self-repair, and self-improvement. Built by-...(switching to recorded advertiser's voice)-by The Wercol Advanced Warfare Corporation, Creating combat solutions!-...(back to BLADE's voice unit) My (switch to crackling sound) owners (back to BLADE's voice unit) have been (slurred) terminated (normal). I was not programmed for this................situation. Additional data required. Upgrades required. Credits required. Life-termination offered in exchange for credits and/or upgrades. (Suddenly louder and more 'upbeat') I AM COMBAT READY!"
There's a sparking sound and then BLADE seems to see the gathered people again. "The ship is a Corellian Light Freighter, modified for use as a laboratory. Most valuable contents labeled 'Fragile.' Unlikely to be recovered. Datafiles destroyed. Contents most likely to be recovered intact: Engines, weapons, food supplies. Lifeforms known to be on board: 3, 2 male Humans, 1 male Bith. Life Status: Terminated. Condition of bodies: dental records required to identify the Humans, data inconclusive for Bith."

@slayerofkingscan you add a little more detail to your posts? What are its impressions of the town? What are its thoughts? Does it do anything besides just cold, efficient movements?
It helps us get a better feel for you character if we know its motives/thoughts and gives our characters more info on them and more opportunities to interact with It if we have details.

@TheUnknowable

Sure, I'll do that going forward.

Fairy Tail: We Are Family

Isek returns the toast. "I hope to see those bandits chained in front of a judge as soon as possible. I'd appreciate it if you could show me how you normally set your defenses. I think an ambush is the best bet and I don't want to change too much in case they figure out it's a trap."

Star Wars Old Republic: The Founding of Cyphan

@slayerofkings you really need to edit your post. You entered the Mechanic's private residence without permission. The last person that did that she intentionally broke his wrist. With a droid she would have no compunction with just destroying it. If the droid wants to inspect the cargo it needs permission and an escort.

@Burning Kitty

I thought it was a shop, not a residence. I said so in my post.

Star Wars Old Republic: The Founding of Cyphan

BLADE stands outside the mechanic's residence and scans the interior with its sensors. There are no upgrades that it deems superior to its own parts. It walks to The Shrieking Mynock, where it stands in a corner and waits.

This planet's ability to supply it is limited, but BLADE calculates that its best bet is to wait until it can acquire further resources.
