We reconvene at Gigi’s to heal and to rethink out our method of approach on the Ares building. Scale Fang and Jack rejoin the group and are brought up to speed. Jack has a few crazy ideas that involve crashing his Jackrabbit through the loading bay door.

We decide to do recon on the building. It is a 4-story neo-Gothic building with lots of columns and glass. After a while we see armed robotic sentries walking through. The rear atrium is most likely glassteel and therefore almost impenetrable. There are turrets that drop down from the ceiling along most of the perimeter as well.

Nutz rigs a bag of explosives and Eclipse sneaks to the front entrance. She sets the bag down and sneaks away. We sneak up to the rear door and Scale Fang swipes the card they were given to gain entrance. The loading bay door opens and we are able to get inside.

Jack listens around and cannot hear anything. We go to the rear door and see several cameras along the way. Scale Fang swipes the card again and opens the next door. Eclipse sneaks through and checks the stairwell. Jack jams a gun clip in the door so it can’t close. Eclipse motions to us and we move down the stairs. We open the door and go into the basement door. There is a sentry there, and we all freeze. We prepare for an attack but Scale Fang notices that it doesn’t appear to have any weapons.

We try the keycard on the next door and it does not work. We try it again and this time it opens. Jack peeks into the room and a large sentry gun comes from the ceiling. He ducks back in and the door closes. Nutz tries the keycard two more times and it doesn’t work.

Eclipse goes to open one of the ceiling vents in the room to try and gain access to the ventilation system when Jack and Scale Fang hear sentries coming from the double doors. They come through shooting and we retaliate, Jack blowing one of their heads clean off with his revolver and then quickly blasting the second one as well.

A third robot appears in the room and fires on Eclipse, wounding her badly. Scale Fang runs to get Eclipse out of the line of fire and quickly heals her.

Suddenly we hear a hissing sound and it seems that some sort of gas is being pumped into the room. Scale Fang casts the spell “oxygenate” on himself and the others put on breath masks. The remaining sentries are destroyed, but soon Scale Fang passes out from the gas. Nutz busts the door to a nearby closet open and goes in. Jack and Eclipse drag Scale Fang into the closet and the door is closed. Nutz slaps a stimpatch on Scale Fang and he awakens presently.
