The robot's eyes flash for a moment as it recognizes danger. It watches as the mercenaries enter the room and take cover.
"A multitude of enemies, seven in total. You shall be disposed o-"
And then Jam enters the room too. The robot pauses as it looks at her. If it had regular eyes instead of a visor, it might even be blinking in confusion.
"... Update. Eight enemies total. Energy signals within the new enemy match objective to a low extent."
Its arm transforms into a gatling gun.
"Stay still and your death will be swift."
It opens fire on Jam first, since she's the only enemy not protected.

Three of them open fire on the robot with semi-automatic firearms, but with no caution to avoid hitting Jam.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."The mercenaries' bullets don't seem to deal much damage. Not because of a power issue, but simply because they're hitting pure metal armor.
Jam's knee seems to deal a bit more damage, though that's because, by hitting the robot in the face, the attack damages the visor, making it crack a bit.
The robot stumbles back, hitting one of the walls. Despite it seemingly flinching, its arm still brings out new threads that envelop the gatling gun and transform it into something else. In this case, a freaking cannon, which she aims at the three mercenaries that were shooting at her the moment she's no longer flinched, firing back at them. The cannonball, if it hits them, a wall, the ground or their cover, will explode like a bomb.
As for Jam, the robot holds its hand out, not doing anything yet. Is it planning something?

wander through the icy streets of Windhelm, discussing amongst themselves as they do so.
"No, Thor, we are most assuredly not doing Get Help if this meeting is revealed to be a trap!"

The robot gets struck by the combat knife a few times before it tries to turn around and simply bash the mercenary against the wall with its cannon, which it'll follow up with an attempt to pin the mercenary against it with the front of its cannon. If successful, it'll then ruthlessly follow up once more by launching an explosive cannon ball right at the mercenary as they're unable to move and avoid, and regardless of the fact that the robot itself will also be damaged by the explosion.
It then opens its free hand and attempts to catch Jam's feet when she gets to it. If it works, and Jam didn't put too much power into it, the robot will then proceed to throw Jam at the mercenaries it hasn't attacked yet.
If Jam put a lot of power into her attack though, the robot will instead shudder from the impact, parts of its arm cracking in the process, and slam her onto the ground in front of itself instead.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Jam overestimated herself, as a result, she is thrown back into the mercenaries, though she's quick to try to get up and help them up at the same time!
Woopsie sorry!

A green wisp floats right behind the Sons of Odin.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterThe knife-wielding Rabbit is ded. The other Rabbits dive out of the way of the projectile Jam.
Instead of acknowledging Jam's attempt to help, two of them draw combat knives and try to stab her through the shoulderblades.
The rest all open fire on the robot at once with their firearms.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."The robot turns to the still-attacking mercenaries. Its armor gets damaged by the bullets, but that doesn't stop it from raising its cannon at them yet again, unleashing another explosive cannon ball now that all of its enemies are in a single spot.
Call it unimaginative, but hey, if something works, why stop using it?
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The knives stab in deeper than they would have otherwise but still, her toughness prevails, and while a bit hurt, she's more surprised.
Jam, however, doesn't strike back, opting to leap backward. She spins as she does so, and attempts to stretch her legs forward, attempting to slam into the robot with more force than before!
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterTurning his head just in time to notice the mysterious green wisp following them, Loki stops dead in his tracks and taps Thor on the shoulder.
"What is it?"
"It seems we might have caught someone's attention..."
The god of thunder wheels around, then raises an eyebrow at the wisp.
"This had better not be one of your blasted pranks, Loki..."
The half-Jotun trickster fixes his brother with an unamused look.
"Do you honestly believe that I would attempt to deceive you with such an obvious trick? Oh, how you wound me, dear brother."

The Rabbits pull out their knives before Jam springs away from them. One jumps in front of the cannon shot to take the hit for the others, blowing them into a portal where they get sent to elsewhere in the fort. The other five dual-wield their rifles and knives, firing on the robot as they advance closer from multiple directions.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."The robot, believing that it's gotten a grasp on Jam's general level of power, simply holds out its hand again.
It's in for a rude awakening when Jam's new, spinning kick destroys said hand upon hitting it, causing it to leap back in what appears to be shock.
Now that the bullets have started cracking the armor a bit more, they start doing more visible damage as well.
"Unit is starting to get overwhelmed." , it says as the threads come out once more, starting to repair its hand, prioritizing it over the damage the bullets are doing. Perhaps this is a golden opportunity for everyone, Jam included, to strike at those weakened points for increased damage.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The Rabbits suddenly rush into action, stabbing with murderous intent and precision at the cracks in the robot's armor. If any of the knives stick in, they try to saw through it to carve huge gashes into it!

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Jam yells like she's trying to ascend past Super Saiyan, coat her fists in white-hot flame and attempts to punch at the damaged parts of its body, speeding forward like a bullet as she does!
...
The portal expands forwards at a fast pace, eventually stopping after adopting a decent size. It's green and black, with a lot of floaty little orbs thing in it. What lies beyond is yet unseen, though one can vaguely see large dark spikes...
But one should perhaps focus not on what he can't seen, but on what he can, because an humanoid figure is approaching, slowly emerging out of the portal.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterThe combined force of the fast, powerful attacks deal a ton of damage to the robot, shattering parts of its armored body, with its threads being unable to keep up the pace with its reparations.
The robot's wings glow as it's getting comboed, then forces itself off of the ground, and away from the attacks, with a burst of energy that explodes from them.
"The enemy is more powerful and resourceful than we had realized. My earlier encounter cannot be used as a reference for the difficulty of our mission."
Its cracked visor glows. Then, suddenly, it flies towards the wall. Specifically, to the hole Jam made when entering the fortress.
"I must survive until I receive further instructions."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.It gets to the hole, but flinching from the gunfire makes it flinch too much to actually make it outside.
Its visor flashes as it receives orders.
"... Understood." , it sinisterly says, turning around and not retaliating, not even as it keeps getting struck by more and more bullets.

The door behind the robot is suddenly covered up by a portal, as well as all other doors leading into and out of Bleakwind Bluff. Each "interior" portal leads only to another one elsewhere in the fort. You can get in, but it looks like there's no getting out.
RABBIT PROTOCOL INITIATED
A squadron of seven mercenaries in rabbit-themed armor,
complete with high-powered firearms and what seem to be gas masks, storm in from the portals.
"Commencing mission."
Not seeming to immediately take note of the robot, they fan out and take premature cover.
And then one of them spots it.
"Risk level medium."
