Welcome to Gaia! ::

((As far as I know, Zen never left his position by the alley, so I think we can assume he is still there and safe. Now let's see if I can get out of this...))

Yes, Xallen's cyber-eye was indeed focused on the glass, so he saw it crack. But his normal eye was unable to do such a thing. As such, while somewhat out of focus, his normal eye was actually the first to perceive that another attack was being made on him, rather than his cyber eye or his ears. He didn't have much time to react. Ideally, he'd be able to throw something at the incoming missiles to hopefully make them explode further away from his body. He had already picked up another rock by that point, since he was in a cycle of grab rock, throw, and repeat. He decided he might as well throw the rock at the incoming projectiles in case it deterred one of them. But he doubted it would change anything; it was a pointless gesture.

The real main point of his dodge were his legs however. Once he detected the incoming attack, his knees bent a little and he jumped backwards, away from the incoming blast. Unsurprisingly, his leg-thrusters also activated in order to help him jump away from the attack. Depending on the spread of the assault, he'd still be hit by some of the weapons. He expected to take multiple bullets in the legs at the very least, but hoped he could avoid the truly devastating part of the attack. Furthermore, his arms moved to block his chest and head, protecting them as best as he could from incoming any shrapnel. If he managed to make it all the way to the end of his jump, he'd land on his back possibly even as much as five meters away from where he jumped.

((So, did I avoid a critical roll?))

((How bad of a maiming are we talking here? XD Because if he can no longer walk, it's probably worth risking a critical roll.))

((I can live with that. We'll go with the maiming I suppose.))

((I'm going to go all the way through damage and jump to the next action, since I assume you won't have much to add if you didn't fire again on me last post. If this is wrong, I can edit.))

There was no pain from a wound to his legs. As such, it took him a bit before he even realized that he was injured. He predicted that bullets would hit his leg and they definitely did. However, the bullets that hit his leg messed up with the internal wiring. Xallen didn't exactly design his own body, so he didn't really know what happened to him. But make a long story short and his right leg lost some functionality. Ironically, his enhancements (read: thrusters) were generally unaffected. They were rather simple devices and required very few wires. The chances of them getting hit were low, and as such they hadn't. But his motor functions were somewhat impaired. His right leg could move and it could bear weight. But due to where the bullets hit, it was incapable of maintaining certain leg positions, making running impossible. He'd have to talk to his superiors about repairing this when all was said and done.

He rose, using primarily his stomach to pull his torso up first and then stand. His mind was currently blank at the moment. There were so many potential emotions to choose from, that he simply decided it was best to remove all emotions from his decision-making. At least for the moment. He knew that he had damaged one of the glass orbs, and was confident that he would only make a very, very narrow miss if he missed at all. But could he avoid another salvo, even if he saw it coming? It would take preparation, but he believed he could do it.

Xallen hobbled to a position where he could still see the cracked orb, but could also easily dive behind a building. This time, rather than a rock, he'd use one of his glass energy capsules. It only had to come close to hitting the glass, since the capsule would shatter and explode on impact. If a thrown rock could damage those, this should destroy it. His legs faced toward his escape route, and his torso twisted to compensate. He used his robotic hand to help steady his arm cannon. He then relaxed, firing the energy capsule toward the orb. He didn't even wait to see if the orb was destroyed, though he expected it would be. He'd count on the sounds of another salvo to tell him his results. Instead, his shoulder thrusters activated this time, helping him dash behind the building and into safety should he be fired on.

((EDIT: Actually, if you don't mind, I'm gonna change it to my right leg. It'll be easier for me to keep track of, since my actual right leg is also broken. XD))

Xallen stopped behind the wall. No sounds? No explosions? Well, he supposed that meant the attack failed. He turned back to look at the results, when lo and behold, a success! Thus, he supposed the best thing to do now was rinse and repeat. He took another capsule, aimed at the other slit in the same fashion, shot it, and then dashed behind that building. Hopefully that did it, because he really couldn't afford to take anything beyond a maiming from this thing. Xallen really hoped it would be obvious if he had succeeded in taking out the complex.

((Oh let me be done with this already. XD))

This time the thing fired on him. He hoped that was the system's final shot before it shut down. The debris flew at his back, minorly bruising his lower back and shoulder, but not really doing much especially since he was moving away from the debris even after it hit him.

At this point, he'd finally get to use that third barrel. He'd throw it so that it was in the air for twenty meters inside the kill zone, and then it would roll after that. This should suffice to check that the defenses had been shut down. If they were indeed shut down, he'd walk toward the marble. If not...well...

The razor wire was only three feet high. His legs were metal, so he did as best as he could to walk through that. His hands were raised in the air so as to avoid getting affected. Sure, his stomach was scratched several times by the high-points of the wire. But really the only things that were affected were his pants and legs. The nice metal coating of his leg was tarnished, but otherwise uninjured. Assuming successful travel through this wire, he'd then cover the remaining distance to pick up the spoils.

((If I do all of this safely, next post I'm going to bed. Finally. gonk ))
