"Kay then." Aiolos said, he played a staccato note from his C flute, and sent a burst of wind into the end of the spear. It went faster, and Aiolos began to play quick staccatos all over the place, all over the scale, making fine adjustments using the pistol shots of wind at the end of the spear, the thing went downward, and with one last stacatto, the spear hurtled down to the robo dino. Quote: Staccato: Aiolos plays a quick, sharp note from any of his Instruments to create a strong, concentrated gust of wind at a target, depending on the note and the target, it could send someone a foot or two back or at least impede on their process a little. It's the airy equivalent of a pistol shot, without the mess of blood, flesh wounds and such

Everyone else seemed to be engaging the robot in some way, except for Xallen who was deep in thought. He repeated what he read out-loud. "What am I? Orange, Indigo, Dark Green, Nectarine. Could it be a brontosaurus? Or perhaps a fruit? Hmm..." He continued to examine the brontosaurus for any other sorts of clues. He especially focused on looking for any spots on the body which matched those four colors.

Adam yelled out in joy as his shot hit, then began to take aim for the glowing spot on the back of the dino. As he was about to pull the trigger, however, he noticed that the panel had labels and buttons, and he took a moment to study them. A puzzle, he thought to himself. One he was sure that he could solve.
Tossing his AS50 onto his back, he got down into a runners possition, facing the roof opposite of him, in the direction that the brontosaurus was. He dug his feet into the gravel that covered the roof, then darted forward. As he reached the edge of the building, he leaped to the rooftop across from him, and continued to do so for a series of roofs. When he came upon the building that the dinosaur had come from, however, he jumped forward and caught a high window seal, then braced his leg against the side of the building and leaped up to the window seal above him, and continued this until he reached the roof. After he reached the roof, he quickly ran to the front side of the building and attached his repelling line to an exhaust chimney nearby. He then hopped over the edge of the building and repelled down, until his feet touched down on the back of the creature.

((well, seeing as how we're all working together for now, I think it's just the dino goes, and then the rest of us go in the order we find most appropriate for the moment))

(( Bronto
James
Whoever you guys are... that's all I know. I just go after the Bronto, since I seem to be its victim.
Also, I love how Adam has like... climbed a skyscraper, fired off from a sniper rifle, and repelled down the side of the building in two posts. Whereas in two posts I've fallen on my a** and gotten back up. ))

It should be noted that the word "green" was not capitalized.
The only things matching those colors were the four labeled buttons on the control panel. The rest of the robotic dino was an even metallic silver.
The dinosaur was having lots of problems today. A huge spear jabbed into its left shoulder, embedding itself nearly all the way through. That left from leg stopped moving entirely, locking in place.
It managed to get its other front leg free, though.
And then something was on its back.
The dino bucked as much as it were able...which wasn't much, considering its injured legs. It hopped up and down with its front right leg, rocking its entire body slightly. Keeping his balance might be a small concern for Adam, but the robot's back was wide enough that he ought to be able to manage without too much difficulty.
((You're all in the same faction, so I've been lumping you all together. If you want to be separated by teams I don't mind that.
Hoozy, jump in whenever you want.))

(( I don't mind terribly. I just think it's funny. I've just been trying not to do too much in my posts, limiting it basically to an action and a movement of moderate size. Standard turn-combat fare. )) Flare Sithfallin And then something was on its back. Two somethings, if at all possible. Something had really torn up one of the machine's rear legs and, being the opportunist that he always is, James took advantage of the newly reduced mobility and went for a grip on anything he could find to climb up onto the back of the machination. He knew a bit about robots, not enough to build one but certainly enough to take one apart. And he knew well enough that interface panels generally were a good way to throw a wrench in their gears, so to speak. An actual wrench in some actual gears usually worked better anyways. He just didn't have a wrench on him. Pulling himself over the hip and onto the back, his first priority was making sure that it wouldn't try and buck him off. Footing was very important when trying to traverse something that didn't like you very much. He stayed low, with his hands always inches from something he could grip onto if it suddenly jerked. He'd move forwards until he could read the panel. There was no way he could see it from the ground.

Jacknife groaned as he rolled over and blinked. What had hit him so hard... Damn. He rubbed his head and began to sit up slowly, then he noticed the gigantic robotic dinosaur. Yeah, that got his attention quickly. "What the Hell?!" He shouted as he came fully awake in an instant, an old advantage of his military years. He rolled backwards onto his feet and assessed the situation.
A giant robotic dinosaur was stomping around the area. With feet that big the safest place to be was probably on top of the thing's back. Thats where Jacknife would go so he could get a clear assessment of what was going on. He raised his left arm and slapped a button on his wrist. A small grappling hook and cord fired out of the device on his wrist with a bang. It was aimed directly at the mechanical monstrosity's neck.
If the hook hit, it would retract and aid Jacknife in scaling the side of the thing. He would come up right next to the panel with the flashing buttons. At that point he would probably notice it, as well as the other person on the barantousaur's back.
((I'm sure I spelled barantosaur wrong.))

Xallen thought everything through once more. He looked at the brontosaurus, focused on the colors of the buttons below, and immediately figured it out. Now he just had put in the answer. Xallen was best suited for getting to the brontosaurus's neck, so long as no one got in the way. While he charged forward, thrusters popped out of his legs, though they would still be hidden by his pants legs. However, he then jumped into the air, when he got close to the brontosaurus. His thrusters activated, propelling him up into the air and onto the brontosaurus's back where the panel was.
Hopefully he could avoid the dinosaurus's tail, since he approached from the side. Once he reached the top, he would press the buttons in the proper order. Since the dino was bucking, he would hover above the brontosaurus if necessary, but his balance was good enough that he probably would not need it. He would press the buttons in this order: dark green, indigo, nectarine, orange. The main question was this: would he reach the panel before anyone else?
EDIT: Small change. I changed neck to back, since he probably can't stand on the dino's neck.

((Alright. Well, at least I can explain my extra actions, and I'm not just twinking. That must count for something xp ))
As the dino began to attempt to buck him off of his back, Adam swiftly reached down and drew out his large, sharp, serrated combat knife. Strabbing down into the creature with all of his might, he hopped that the knife would pierce down into the steel, providing something for him to hold onto as he operated the panel. He quickly scanned over it, and noticed now that he was close that the word "green" had not been capitalized. It could be help...or it could be a trap. It would be a risk to press down on the matching button.
He decided to take the risk.

ssjbryces so long as no one got in the way. Unfortunately, everyone got in the way. It was like a party up there, and everyone was apparently invited.
