The area the fence loops around is quite large, so it takes a few minutes to get to the nearest gatehouse.
"-Here we are. Just insert your papers into the machine here, and our database will check their validity."
The guard patiently waits, as if expecting something to happen.
Phoenix places the paper and ID in the correct slot. *Want me to re-roll for deception or nah?*
*Eh, sure.*
*Ight*
Deception: 8
The machine starts smoking before it sputters out and turns off. Two turrets emerge from pillars on either side of the gate, aiming themselves at you. The guard from before whips out some sort of device and begins speaking into it.
"-We've got a G-44 at the West Gatehouse. Backup may be needed."
*Make two DEX saves ;)*
* Dex 1: 22 Dex 2: 17 *
Phoenix tosses up a small hand grenade. It explodes and takes out all the electronics nearby. *EMP BABY!!!*
The turrets are fried, and the gate opens in a series of jerky movements, but the robot is unaffected. They whip out their weapon, which unfolds into a katana seemingly made of light.
"-D- Don't come any closer! I don't wanna kill you, but if you step onto Hyde Co. premises, then you'll leave us no choice!"
Phoenix lowers his red skull mask and pulls out his silenced pistol and shoots the guard. Attack: 20 Damage: 18
The bullet leaves a large dent in the robot's metal plating around their arm. They look to the 'wound', and then back to you.
"-Well, that wasn't very nice."
They then charge forward, making two attacks with their katana of light.
First attack: 21 to hit, 17 radiant damage.
Second attack: 9 to hit, 18 radiant damage.
If either of these attacks gets a Nat 20, it deals an additional 7 damage.
The first one hits as Phoenix grumbles. The second one misses. "Hand to hand combat then..." Phoenix pulls out his combat knife and attacks.
Combat Knife: Attack: 7 Damage: 17
Pistol: Attack: 24 Damage: 19
Before you can use your pistol, the guard grabs your knife-wielding arm, and twists your wrist violently. You are now grappled, and you drop your knife.

The kenku nods, and pours you an ale. They then point up to the pricing on the menu above them: three silver.You notice that the kenku has a large hole in their upper beak, as if caused by some injury.
The genasi fishes out four silver, the extra one as a tip for the kenku. "Thanks. Who're you? And what happened there, if you don't mind me asking?" He gestures to their beak. "I'm Ruhan, by the way."
edit: *don't know why it's formatted so weird....*
The kenku solemnly nods, before pointing to the poster on the back wall: The Hyde Co. one with several knives stuck into it.
"This Hyde Co. hurt you?" Ruhan asks.
Another nod, and they push some of the feathers on their left arm back to reveal what looks like burn marks: In the shape of a barcode.
They quickly cover the mark before anyone else notices, and they immediately go back to tending the bar, acting like nothing happened.
Ruhan frowns. He doesn't like the sound of Hyde Co., and leans in, not trying to act suspicious though. "Where can I find these people?" He whispers.
"...7... ...8..." They speak in a different voice than before, but this one sounds hoarse and scratchy: As if they was saying these words for the first time, in their own voice.
"7..... and 8? 78? Oh, city 78?? Um, which one are we in right now again?"
The kenku nods again, before repeating what they said before. "7... 8..." They speak this time with a fraction more clarity, as though they were getting used to saying these words for the first time.
"They're here?" He rubs the hilt of one of his shortswords nervously. "What should I do?"
"Well," You hear a voice at the bar beside you. "you got three choices: Try and run, hunker down somewhere, or fight for your life."
The voice in question seems to be coming from the man sitting two bar stools away from you. He looks to be a human of average height. His short brown hair looks like he just got out of bed, but almost seems to be styled to look that way. He wears dark casual clothing under a black leather coat that extends about halfway down the bar stool, and you see what looks like a mask peeking out of one of his (many) coat pockets.
"Sorry. I couldn't help but overhear what you guys were talking about."
"It's... ok, I guess. Who are you?"
"Well, that's classified, but you can call me Jax." The older-looking human smiles as they hold out a gloved hand. As they do so, you catch a glimpse of a large-looking knife in their coat pocket.
"Alright, Jax. I'm Ruhan. And what are you doing? Running, hunkering down, or fighting?" He shakes the human's hand.

The reactor itself, while appearing so on the outside, doesn't seem to be nuclear. You catch a glimpse through a glass window of what looks like solar panels, all redirecting sunlight directly into a boiling vat of water. Two more robots, both in some sort of protective gear, are walking around the outside of the pool doing repairs.

Worship walks around the reactor, analyzing it for a moment, "Interesting. They seem to be using not nuclear radiation, but what could be a steam or heat powered energy bank."
As Phoenix regains consciousness, he finds himself in what looks like a large office. He doesn't have his mask, anything vaguely resembling a weapon has presumably been confiscated, and two robots stand guard behind him. A large stainless steel desk sits near the window, and behind it sits a strange mechanical figure. Their exterior shell is made of segmented brass plating, with glimpses of a carbon-fiber skeleton underneath. The figure's head resembles a strange helmet, with six eyeholes(?) and no visible mouth. They sit in a chair with various control panels and a screen built into it that seems to be floating a few inches above the floor.
The figure speaks from a device in their chest, sounding like their voice was coming from a vinyl record.
"So, you're the rebel who thought they could take on an entire organization? Hmmm... You are not who I was first expecting, but this is a pleasant surprise nonetheless."

The reactor itself, while appearing so on the outside, doesn't seem to be nuclear. You catch a glimpse through a glass window of what looks like solar panels, all redirecting sunlight directly into a boiling vat of water. Two more robots, both in some sort of protective gear, are walking around the outside of the pool doing repairs.

Phoenix primes a grenade and throws it at the feet of the robot. "Hasta la vista baby." Damage: 24

"Well personally, I'm more for running, but I'm digging my heels in 'cause my friends are doing the same." They take a sip from their small glass of what you presume is vodka. "But yeah, as you probably already pieced together, there aren't many of us willing to try and mess with Hyde in their current state."

The explosion takes a small chunk out of one of the concrete pillars on the gatehouse, but the fence and the guard are still standing. You catch a glimpse of two more robot guards running your way, weapons drawn. *You might want to start running*
The guard charges in for some more attacks.
First Attack: 12 to hit, 15 radiant damage.
Second Attack: 18 to hit, 16 radiant damage.
ACTION SURGE!
Third Attack: 23 to hit, 16 radiant damage.
Fourth Attack: 19 to hit, 23 radiant damage.
Again, if any of these attacks got a Nat 20, add an extra 7 damage to the attack.

The second attack hits as Phoenix brushes it off. He starts to run towards the Hyde Co building. "Gotta get a hostage...." he mumbles.

As Phoenix runs towards the building, you hear a message over the loudspeakers around the area:
"We seem to have a guest that showed up uninvited. Why don't we give them a proper welcome? Release the drones."
The two robots that were towards you from the building leap at you, attempting to pin you to the ground. Make two Strength saves.

You dodge the first robot's leap, but the second kicks you down and pins you to the ground. You are now restrained and prone.
"Do not kill him just yet. You know what to do."
You feel something press against your back before you feel a sudden shock. Then everything fades to black...

This is not Phoenix's first time being tazed. Phoenix groans as he is tazed though.

Worship walks around the reactor, analyzing it for a moment, "Interesting. They seem to be using not nuclear radiation, but what could be a steam or heat powered energy bank."

As Phoenix regains consciousness, he finds himself in what looks like a large office. He doesn't have his mask, anything vaguely resembling a weapon has presumably been confiscated, and two robots stand guard behind him. A large stainless steel desk sits near the window, and behind it sits a strange mechanical figure. Their exterior shell is made of segmented brass plating, with glimpses of a carbon-fiber skeleton underneath. The figure's head resembles a strange helmet, with six eyeholes(?) and no visible mouth. They sit in a chair with various control panels and a screen built into it that seems to be floating a few inches above the floor.
The figure speaks from a device in their chest, sounding like their voice was coming from a vinyl record.
"So, you're the rebel who thought they could take on an entire organization? Hmmm... You are not who I was first expecting, but this is a pleasant surprise nonetheless."

Phoenix's blue eyes scan the room for anything he can make a shiv out of. "Well you should've expected it." he says with his british accent.
