Leon shook his head.
"No signals went out when we entered the room. I don't think, what ever it is, allerted the enemy. Now let me see what I can from it."
Leon studies the droid.
"Alex is right, this is a maintenance droid."
Leon, with the removal of a few screws, opens the head of the droid, and extracts a small device from the droid, similar to what he had taken from the sniper droid.
"This allows it to communicate over long distances. Used for relaying repair instructions. This should keep it from alerting it's friends."
Leon closes back up the head, the searches for a power switch. Once he finds it, Leon calls out.
"Back up just in case something happens, I want someone pointing a gun at this thing the moment I flip the switch. I don't know if Valen's sword will do enough."
And with that Leon flips the switch on the droid, to activate it.

"Hold it." Said Victor before Leon pressed the button. Pulling a roll of duct tape out of his pocket and ripping off a few strips. "I knew this would come in handy." He said as he lifted the drone and duct taped it to the wall, securing it so that even if it struggled it would be safely secured. "Now it won't run around if it does react."

With a single push of the monoeye-like button, the small droid came to life and began to struggle, fear apparent in its futile actions to get free.
"NO! STOP!! I'M SORRY!!" The little droid cried out with fear and desperation. "I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE CORE SYSTEMS!! PLEASE STOP BEATING ME!!" It continued as it held its small arms in an X pattern in front of its face while folding its legs close to itself in fetal position to protect itself from the next beating it thought it was about to receive.

"Well what do you know, it's defective." Said Valen. "Shut it down and leave it, we're wasting time. Sunlight arrives in an hour." With that he started walking down the pipeline.

Axl and Alex observed the droid's actions as it struggled. Walking over to it, Alex tried to sooth the machine. "We're not going to beat you up, lil' droid. I'm Alex Fenrir, but you can call me Scrap-Tech. You wouldn't happen to know how to shut down a power plant, would you? If so, I think we can help each other out here, you agree to help us kill the power to the defense grid and central mainframe, and in return, I'll cut you down from that wall, what do you say?"

Ever since they had entered the sewerage system, Marco had been guarding their rear, and so far, he considered it lucky that no one had stumbled onto the insertion team. As it were, his attention was focused on keeping his senses peeled for any potential sources of light or sound given away by any possible machines sent after them. So, when he back pedaled into someone's back, the brawny male gave a muttered oath and mumbled an apology, wondering what the pause was.
Quickly turning his head towards an unexpected noise from the front of the team, it appeared that their lead elements had chanced upon some kind of talking droid. But Valen seemed impatient to continue, and Marco was a tad inclined to agree. They had a very tight schedule to adhere to, and every moment they wasted down here, was a delay. Not to mention every passing second, a patrol could stumble upon them, and really complicate their lives unnecessarily.
"We'd better get a move on, since we're on a tight schedule."

"Godverdomme." muttered Natalie to herself. "Look Marco's right, need I remind you all this operation works much better when we have the cover of night to work under. Stopping for a confab in the middle of the sewers is not going to help anyone."
Natalie looked at her watch.
"Granted no plan survives first contact with the enemy but that thing is hardly worth any time." she said gesturing at the droid. "Now I suggest we get a move on so we can finally rescue the people here or so help me I'm going to shoot someone to prove a point."

In response to Natalie, Victor made a quick check to make sure his bulletproof armor covered all his vital areas. "We do need to move forward. Droid, if you got a name spit it out, if you're our enemy, we won't hesitate to unload several cartridges worth of ammo into you, do I make myself clear?" Taking a breath he continued, "If you're against the UE, come with us but keep your mouth shut." Victor glanced over to Valen who had turned to glare at him.

Looking around at the collection of humans surrounding him, Scrap sounded like he loosed a sigh of relief before lowering his arms and legs. "Umm, I'm called Scrap. I work for the UE as a tech and repair droid. Well, that is, I used to work for them. The last thing I remember was talking to the scientists they were keeping hostage about how to improve their security systems and how to make their factories operate with better efficiency. Then, the Commandos muttered something about me being a human sympathizer and accused me of telling them our secrets before dragging me off and putting me into the custody of the Heavy Troopers."
Scrap paused a moment before continuing. "Then the Heavies began to beat me until one of them hit me in my eye and then it all went dark. Well, dark until I woke up here with you all. Sorry for freaking out, but I thought you guys were the Heavies and that you all were gonna beat me again." He said as he rubbed the large dent on the top of his dome head.
"So that's my story. Since I told you and clearly mean you no harm, can you let me down now? I promise to do what I can for you all and help you to repair and access whatever systems I ca.." Scrap paused for a moment when his monoeye caught a glimpse of the UE infantry weapons the humans who woke him were carrying. "Whoa!! You..You guys actually took down one of our Snipers and lived!? Wow! I-- Wait, I don't even know how many of you there were. Did you lose anyone?" He asked while trying to tear at the tape holding him to the wall.

"Shut him down, we'll carry him with us." Said Valen reluctantly, not even bothering to answer the thing. They were wasting valuable time. Victor complied and removed Scrap from the wall, punching him on the nose before handing him over to Alex. Your idea, you carry him. Keep him off unless we need him." Said Victor.
The group walked on in relative silence until Valen spotted a ladder. "We're here." He announced. After making sure it was secure he climbed up and peeked his head out a little underneath the manhole, scanning for any potential enemies. "Coast is clear, and even better, I can see the powerplant. We must be only three blocks away." With the area secure he climbed out and took point, waiting for the others to climb out.

Natalie climbed out and drew her confiscated UE weapon. She looked around, scouting the immediate area using her goggles' multiple modes. This is way too easy, it's only a matter of someone sneezing before they all come running.

Waiting for the person behind him to ascend the ladder, Marco himself scurried up the apparatus with practiced speed, reentering the twilight darkness of the city. Scanning the structures around them, the brawny male could not make out any potential threats, but he felt that they were too exposed, and would make for easy pickings for any sniper.
"I vote we get into cover. We're very exposed, in the open, at the moment."

Suddenly, the droid comm system the group took from the Sniper they killed buzzed to life.
"Sniper 07, you have failed to report in. You are three minutes late for your scheduled radio report. Please report your status and location. You have two minutes to comply before we send a trooper squad to your last reported location."
After that, static filled the air for a brief moment until the comm unit went silent again.

Valen turned as he listened to the com. "Looks like they're getting suspicious. As much as I agree with you Marco, it seems we're running out of time. When they find that downed drone they're going to swarm. We need to move, fast." Said Valen, dashing over to the buildings on the right before entering a quick jog towards the powerplant.

Leon quickly moves up to Alex. Punching the droid in the main sensor, he quickly asks the droid. "Do you know the communications protocols for the droids here? If I were to set it up, would you be able to communicate for that missing droid?"
