-Well, Lovisia, there's a bunch of dead robots, but more of the same guns-
-Now that the fight's over, you and Gespenst can clearly notice that the machinegunners look noticeably different from the earlier robosoldiers
◊. Lovisia also notices that despite the ridiculous overkill directed at them, the machinegunners' tools of choice
◊ have survived. However, they don't actually have ammo boxes - it seems like the ammo belts loaded into them are supposed to feed right into the bodies of these particular robosoldiers, removing the need to reload entirely-
-It's insidious design-
-Meanwhile, Rostam, the wounded spaceman seems to be doing better now that his friends have been freed from their duties to patch him up. One of them looks over to Rostam-
Spacewoman: Thanks for the save! I thought we were goners given how hard those big guns were pressing down on us!

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Spacewoman: That guy down there's our Ranger. Heavy weapons specialist. He took a bad salvo, but I think he'll be alright so long as we get him back to No Refunds.
Your... uh... giant lizard friend stole his gun. Mind telling him we'd appreciate him giving that back when he's done with it?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Spacewoman: We were here checking out the valley, apparently it's a pretty big aluminum mine. I mean, there's always robots around, a few of them even get close to the city on occasion, so we're always careful, but... I guess they were packing heavier friends this far out from town.
We'll need to report back to Director Vlahović with this news. I doubt he'll like it, but he'll figure out how to keep this from happening in the future.
-Well, Ao-
-It's about 4 PM local time, judging by where the sun is-
-There's plenty of daylight left for these fools to go wherever the heck it is they want to go-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Spacewoman: Alright, you're caught up.
-The civilians start to leave the base. There's about 12 of them, and they walk out cautious, though they're also pretty happy that you guys managed to save their asses-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Spacewoman: Nah, it's alright. The path's well-mapped, you're on the fastest available route.
-As the spacewoman keeps talking, something twinkles, Lovisia. It doesn't quite seem right...-
-Lovisia, roll Perception. Anyone else looking at the spacewoman can roll Perception too-

Lovisia: ~lets out a loud victory cry before she starts looting~
