Prime Hunter 10 hovers back a bit for maximum coverage of the remaining area. It then turns on brighter lights in an attempt to see the staircase more clearly, but there is some serious dark down here. It can only just barely see them.

Meanwhile, the bots scatter in all directions except right. Unit 152 put the minipathbot on top of itself so it has enough arms to quickly open and close the generator doors, which popped out after it started detecting explosions in the vicinity.



T10
Fleeing into the generator, Unit 152 has the nice feeling of recharge wash over them, which also perks up the minipathbot. It seems content to just use your head as a circular path, since it stopped complaining about Paths.
(When in the generator, you get recharged to 10 +2 per level survived. If you're above that, the only effect is a free movement turn.)

TSTR-51 can see the staircase clearly, but a peek around the corner reveals a bright light from further than it can really see properly. Hopefully that giant hunter can't see far enough to hit you, but with those lights and a good helping of luck...

Scav-Bot and Scarlet, having been trekking down a corridor for quite some time, find what appears to be a traderbot, hidden in this winding alcove. You hear another explosion shake the area nearby as he whispers at you:
"Hey hey, be quiet. Seems like we've attracted dire attention, but if you're here, why not buy something from me? Afterwards, I bet you're looking for an escape route..."

Using all this power, slooowly break open the left wall. No need to use the rifle's energy cells. Just befriend the wall and not the generator. That would be embarrassing and probably lethal.

For reference, depending on how hard you hit it if you hit the generator and not the wall, you'd nuke at least half the map, regardless of how big said map is.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

He looks over your inventory, and then responds quietly:
"Armor. Don't see much on you asides scrap metal, and you aren't particularly impressive, so I'm not giving you anything you don't already have pieces for."

TSTR-51 manages to not be noticed as it speeds up the ramp to the next level closer to the surface.

Unit 152 charges up a very large shot, and manages to hit the wall several times before it falls apart. It then chases after the two friendly bots through the hole.

The Trader takes your scrap metal and a tool out of its pockets, and armors you for the most part, though its not particularly great armor. He then vanishes through a blue hole while talknig about escape routes. Having little elsewhere to go, Scarlet and Scav-Bot walk through it as well. You both end up in what looks like a large cavern, with the trader nowhere around. You can see a bot that more than likely is malfunctioning to the northeast, and a few moments later, you also see S.C.R.A.M.B.L.E Unit 152 (with spinning minipathbot hat intact) appear through the portal.


Level 2 map:

The portal will vanish next turn.
The map doesn't show the insides of fully enclosed areas until theres a hole to look through.

As you all move in the general direction of the generator, a few more Malfs come into view, and you hear something clang off the other side of the wall near everyone but TSTR-51. Looking at the wall, you can see a faint shine on it, like it used to be metal before being covered in all of this dirt and rust and dust.

The malfuntioning bots are various sizes, and varied shapes, but they all seem to be active, if sparky. They don't seem to be particularly fast though, and if they're armed its hidden.
