All right, as discussed in Chat, Miss Americana used Skill Mastery to get a DC36 on a Disable Device check. And as the core book says robots can be shut down on a DC30 Disable Device if they're Helpless - which Bound certainly counts as - Chimera is out of the game.

Miss Americana: 20, Unharmed, 4 HP

Citizen: 19, Unharmed, 4 HP

Cannonade: 12, Bruised x2, 2 HP

Drone 1: 11, Bruised x1, Staggered, 0 HP

Drone 2: 11, Bruised x1, 0 HP

Drone 3: 9, Bruised x1, 0 HP

Drone 4: 9, Unharmed, Staggered, 0 HP

Voltage: 4, Unharmed, 4 HP

Citizen is up next.

Yup. And Drone 1... hmm. I forgot these Robotic Policemen have Fort saves. Oh, well. Its Toughness goes down by 7, and then it promptly blows the heck up, due to it being Staggered and failing a DC27 Toughness save by more than 10.

Cannonade's up next. Drones 2 and 3 have moved into the crowd, and Cannonade can't go after both of them, so he goes after Drone 3. He attempts to use Improved Grab to both hit it and get it in a Grapple. And he misses. Drones 2, 3, and 4 turn on Cannonade, Voltage, and Miss Americana, respectively. Drone 2 Power Attacks for -4/+4, and hits. Cannonade needs to make a DC27 Toughness save (due to Autofire), and gets Dazed and Staggered. Hero Point, again. That's a 28, so he's good.

Drone 3 aims for Voltage, Power Attacking for -4/+4. And he misses. Drone 4 can only shoot at Miss Americana, aiming to Blast her. He decides to not Power Attack, but hits anyway. On an Improved Crit, nonetheless. That will be a DC29 Toughness save... or it would be, if Autofire did not count for purposes of beating Impervious. So it does nothing.

Voltage is up next, but we should hold off until AA gets an IC post up.

Drone fails the Reflex save by 6, is at -6 Toughness. And then it explodes.

Cannonade decides to follow up on Miss A's advice - but before he does, he takes a swing at Drone 2. He manages to hit, so Drone 2 makes a DC25 Toughness save. It is Bruised and Dazed. Cannonade then uses his Move Action to Leap over to the exit and start helping people out.

Citizen: 19, Unharmed, 3 HP

Cannonade: 12, Bruised x2, 1 HP

Drone 2: 11, Bruised x2, Dazed (Cannonade's Action), 0 HP

Drone 3: 9, Bruised x1, 0 HP

Voltage: 4, Unharmed, 4 HP

Drone 3 decides to fire at Citizen for killing his comrade. It hits, but of course, he decides to use Stun, so... Immunity'd!

Voltage is up next.

There are three fragments amongst the hash that Citizen is able to make out. I'm guessing he did a little looking into the Stuxnet code when that hit the net, so there are some elements in common with that fleet in malware - only while that sort of malware is meant to latch onto and subvert programming, this is meant to overwhelm it entirely, incorporate all relevant data, and fully replace the system. Another is a "leapfrog" program meant to jump across P2P and WiFi networks, jumping for a base location to a final destination while blurring the trail that led from one to the other. And the last fragment is a detailed map of the network system of the Goodman Building.

Everyone who's tech savvy realizes that what Chimera said about herself also applies to the base Proteus code - D-Gray may just be a copy of the original code, and the original is still lying around somewhere, still capable of being deployed. Miss Americana realizes that, with a WiFi sniffer and the base viral code extracted from D-Gray, they may be able to trace it back to the source.
