Axl and Alex descended into the sewers next. While Alex had the misfortune of his goggles not having a nose cover, Axl had a full-on helmet over his head, so he was perfectly fine in the sewers. Due to not being able to use night-vision goggles with his helmet on, Axl kept close to Alex, who could see just fine in the dark with his custom goggles.

Leon was a bit hurt that he was slaped, but he did not respond to it. If any male had done that to him, he would have decked them.
Leon took up his salvaged equipment and plugged the input from the com unit into his touch com so that he could listen into droid channels, but could not broadcast from the comm.

Valen touched down onto the floor of the sewer. Fortunately it seemed to be a low flowing pipeline, the water only reaching above his feet. After everyone had made their way inside and making sure the manhole cover was replaced, he drew the map and began following it. After a few minutes of walking he disabled the sound filter on the Touch Com so he could speak freely without removing the mouthpiece and exposing his nose to whatever smells the sewer contained.
"We should find a junction up ahead. Once we reach it we'll want to take the left pipeline, that should lead us to the power plant." He announced.

"How much further Valen? Last thing I want is us to have finished this and all caught E. Coli from trekking through the god-awful pipe."
Natalie wasn't exactly cheerful about having to walk through severs, she preferred working in clean, well-prepared environments. And as an added bonus not at risk of being killed by crazed robots.

"We'll reach the junction in a few minutes. Trust me, none of us wants to be in here." Replied Valen.
"I think I stepped in something." Said Victor
"No details, unless it suddenly grabs you and pulls you under, I don't want to know."

Continuing to cover the 'six' of the team, Marco wonder as to how far they had managed to progress. Since he did not have a copy of the map, the brawny male could not tell how far they had traveled in the dank confines of the sewage system. So far his senses could not pick out anything out of the blue, to indicate that someone or something had caught onto their presence, which was a minor relief in itself.

"This reminds me of a movie I once saw, bunch of people sneak into the enemy fortress, rescue a hostage, do some damage and somewhere in the process they end up in a garbage heap I think." Mused Natalie. "With some sort of squid-like creature grabbing on to one of guys' ankles and trying to eat him." She continued, grinning at Victor, even if the Touch Com covered part of her face her eyes still showed the same expression.

"Thanks for that, Natalie." Said Victor. Knowing without even turning that she was teasing him.

((OOC: A force of 5 Heavy Trooper class UE Droids suddenly ambushed the small squad of humans wandering the sewers. However, these droids seemed unusual and different from the UE forces the group of humans were so far familiar with. These droids were painted red and white and were all wearing Santa hats.
"Hold your fire, we mean you no harm. Rather, we bring you season's greetings on this fine day. Granted, this is a less than festive area to wish such tidings to you all, but our time is short and we will be tracked soon by the UE monitoring the mainframe. We bring gifts to you on behalf of some guy named HK. You all probably know him as Cypher on this site." The leader of this small squad of Heavy Troopers explained.
"If you would be so kind, please lend us your currency cards and allow us to upload one million credits per active player character you all have. Yes, that means if you have two active player characters, you will be granted two million credits. However, our offer is limited and only up to five million credits can be gifted per player. No more than that, I'm afraid. Also, if you would be so kind, please tell your friends currently not here with you that the gift applies to them as well." The squad leader happily informed the slightly confused group of humans.
Shortly after gifting the credits to the befuddled humans, the Heavy Trooper droids wished them all a Merry Christmas and departed, leaving the humans standing there with their currency cards and looks of mixed surprise and confusion on their faces.))
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!! -HK (Aka, Cypher) (Everyone gets 1 mil in credits per active player character they have, up to 5 mil in credits. That is my Christmas gift to you all. Check with Usam, Bozz, and any other Admins and Mods for any Christmas gifts they may offer.)

"I need a frigging drink." Said Valen after the unexpected "ambush".
"I'll take two." said Victor.

Natalie stared at the card and raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Fatal system glitch?" She suggested as she tucked it away safely. "Anyway, moving on."

After walking for several minutes without a break, the group finally made it to The Junction. Reviewing the map on Victor's laptop, Valen found the path to the Powerplant. "We take the left pipeline, in a few minutes we'll emerge from this cesspool and make the rest of the way above ground. Hope they can't smell up there." Announced Valen, saying the last under his breath.
"Finally!" Cried Victor. He had been dying to get out of this underground hell and dreaded staying in the sewers any longer.
"Follow me." Said Valen, leading the way into the passage.

On a ledge nearby the group, a small, disk shaped chunk of metal rested, waiting for who knows what. The metal looked like a small droid folded into a compact form, yet instead of being on what appeared to be its feet, it was upside down and on it's dome-like helm. A large, dark eye would have been watching them if it was not dark and black, obviously due to it apparently being powered down.

After finally putting his mouthpiece over his face and turning it off so he wouldn't have to worry about the stench, a faint glint of light caught Alex's eye as they proceeded down the sewer, which turned out to be a small, metal, dome-shaped thing placed on its smooth surface on a rather precarious perch. Retrieving it with his belt-mounted grapple, Alex picked the mysterious object up and checked it, giving the dome a thorough once-over before walking over to Victor with it. "Hey Victor, take a look at this." showing the object to Victor, turning it in varying degrees so he had a better view of what it was. "What do you think? Looks like an inactive maintenance bot of some sort, wouldn't you agree?"

Victor suddenly took a step away from Alex, putting distance between him and the small drone. "How should I know? Leon's the expert here. Why the hell did you pick it up anyway? For all we know its alerted the enemy to our presence and location. We've already risked enough with that weird group back there, should have popped the EMP Grenades the moment we saw them." Responded Victor, glaring at Alex for the horrible lack of judgement.
"Agreed, leave it. We can't take any more risks, it's bad enough that one drone found us." Said Valen. "In fact, probably best to destroy it." With that he drew the Vibro Sword. "Put it down and step back." He warned. If the thing suddenly woke up and retaliated he wanted to minimize the risk to the others.
