You follow the pipe flow, moving against rough crude byproduct of some industrial process. Something is being manufactured in here.

You reach a pit where the byproduct is collected, you can wait here for awhile as there are some Walkers outside, do you want to wait or do you wish to do something else?

Observe for a minute. What are your exits for this room?

Any sign of the superweapon? Can you see where materials are being transported?

You peak your optics out to observe, seems to be a conveyor system of sorts outside, the factory is inactive at the moment and the walkers don't sound like they've moved.

From what can you tell they are unarmed.

What shall you do?

This... doesn't look like an assembly plant for a superweapon. Maybe it's for super weapon-s, like a new kind of gun to strap onto a mech? I suppose you could just block the waste pipe somehow and hope that causes a huge meltdown but... you need to follow the conveyors to find more about the manufacturing process if you want to disable this thing. How are you going to get past the walkers though? And where are all the armed security, if this is such a highly protected superweapon project?

Is this door mech-sized? If so, walk there like you belong here.

sneak over behind the conveyor and see where it goes.

It seems the security are Siren model Box Walkers. This guys are automated warning systems as compared to the regular piloted models.

Sneaking past them may be difficult, how do you want to handle it?

Do we know how these bots act? If we splashed on the other side of the tank would they go look or would they just sound the alarm?
Could also try getting out of the tank in a way that splashes them while simultaneously boosting over them to land behind the conveyors. If they aren't smart they'll be busy looking at the tank while you get away scott free.

>>1088518

Yes, simple automations are just going to go where they see a disturbance. You need to direct their attention to one side of the tank, hop off the other and jet it.

They are distracted by the splash, do you want to advance to the door or do something else?

This seems suspiciously easy, but cautiously sneak to the door.

*Beep*
You're on the clock. The bots may be dumb, but the AI managing them will eventually realize there's an intruder in the building. Sneak fast and don't be afraid to break stealth for a combat advantage.

You pass through the door and enter into the main section of the compound, finding a massive machine in the center...

You suspect this is the superweapon.

Oh good. It is one single superweapon then, not a huge pile of them. Now, it's surely impervious to the firepower of a single lonely mech, but there must be access panels to get into it. Is anything inscribed on the side?

You're sure it's a superweapon, right? This is starting to feel like a setup. What could get Kowalski-Wayne in serious trouble, if you mistakenly blew it up?

Well, no time for hesitation now. Cast IDENTIFY on the—I mean, access panels. Find out what's inside this beast, and where you might be able to sabatoge it.

No guards? Great so its a trap then.
Look for panels and hatches, any way to the interior

Literally stuff missiles in there and wire them to explode when they stop receiving your coded signal.

You run a scan to get a better look at the damn thing and it's a heavy weapons platform. Still in construction, the weapons, control units, etc, have yet to be attached, but it's very clear that just stuffing some missiles into it won't work. The armor is incredibly thick, and without any of the weapons attached a chain explosion won't do anything.

You'll have to search for other options but you should be able to find something.

Well what if you attached the weapons? Look for a crane control room.

>>1089190
Or pile all the attachments on top and blow em up

Any way we could durably sabotage its treads?

That is one massive weapons platform. You could fit a small city in there! It's apparently been constructed from the bottom up, so the top might still be unarmored. Probably no way to sabatoge the treads that would pass cursory inspection.

You search about the room and find what looks to be a crane operation booth. If you want to sabotage the weapons you should be able to do so from there.

You reach the room, but you find a problem, your mech is still too large to enter it. You could attempt to exit the mech and operate it from there, but this risks your being as you're far squishier without your armored unit.

What do you do?

How is your fine manipulation skill? Peel off the roof and you can access the controls. Maybe punching the controls will do something, or at least make a start at the sabotage.

If you do exit the mech, position it so that it blocks access to the crane operation booth, with the mech's access hatch at the doorway.

>>1089360
This. That would both defend the booth and the mech.

You place the mech right against the door and angle it, before dropping out and wandering into the operation room. It should provide you some protection for now, you just hope nobody damages it too much.

You find the control console, easy enough for you to commandeer what with your neural augmentations. There seem to be some options, what do you want to do?

Check out the Powerplant info, if it's already installed maybe it could be set to overload.

What's Project Deadline? Sounds ominous.

Wait no that's just the project deadline.

You check out the Powerplant, it's an old nuclear reactor design, instead of anything alien. That's interesting, maybe they can't use alien power just yet? Maybe they're limited.

You'll note it down in case it becomes important, but you take note of the current status of the Reactor.

What do you want to do with this information?

I don't suppose you can make it meltdown from here. Makes a good target if you can get inside though.

What comes up under 'internals'?

>>1089685
Making it melt down should be a possibility, this thing seems to be an autonomous platform so it'd probably have a remote meltdown.

Looking over the internals, you find several options for how to sabotage this thing, leaving you many options. You might want to pick soon, you're not certain how much longer you have.

Drone cache may be our way in. See if you can open the drone's exit hatch from here.

>>1089848

Sneak in, remove the cooling rods, sneak out. Soon as they power it up, the whole thing will melt into radioactive slag, and you'll be long gone.

>>1089857
This, best sabotage if you can manage it.

You however, hear a click and realize there's a guard behind you. What do you do?

Drop and kick em in the knee. Get their gun away and get back in your mech.

Why isn't he shooting? Maybe you can talk your way out of it? Wait no, your mech is out there in plain sight. It's a... maintenance... construction... vehicle?

You decide to engage with a dialogue, as they haven't shot you yet.

Who are you? Why is that unmarked mech here? What do you think you're doing?

You're gonna have to be smart here, what do you say to those questions?

Quick, feign an internal lust detonator!

Shiver in place, screaming "NO, DON-", then drop on the floor and strip while you offer to suck his dick, apparently uncaring of the gun in your face.

While he's confused, tackle his legs and then grab the gun. Beat him unconscious or jab him with the barrel after firing.

"I'm here to test the facilities security measures. Command won't appreciate how easy it was to get in here, or with the lack of encryption on their new toy. Your commander is going to have one hell of a bad day after I make my report. I do commend that at least one soldier is capable of doing his job. What's your name soldier?"

Say you've been fighting those corporate invaders all day and are out of ammo. You went to the factory directly because something seems to have happened to the supply chain, it dried up.

Didn't he see the official company logo? It's only on one side of the mech.
