I'm just guessing but I think it'll be awhile before the docking bay is ready for use again

and the shuttle lift eh?

Excellent descriptions of the battle progress very intense.

"they have fifty five troopers, fifteen currently approaching out position" out = our?

Cheers Merc great read can hardly wait to read the rest of this chapter, and happy birthday.

I'm glad my x universe doesn't have giant killer robots. They don't play fair.

Happy Birthday, Merc!

Excellent battle! As the others, I am curious to see just how well that new toy of Tor's will work. Smart bot, though. Cutting through the floor to escape is something one would not expect. At least he did not too much damage on the Defiance.

Looking forward to the next part!

Excellent one. However, you did not give away a lot about the Sentinel

Looks like its weapons had been designed for different enemies than the Devastator, unless he intends to space him

Though, why weren't those troopers affected although the Sentinel even damaged the walls down the hallway? Anyway, it sounds interesting to see what is coming up. Did the Sentinel move back or was it destroyed or did Sweety transport it out?

Looking forward to the next part!

"laser destroyer the turret" - destroyed

Nice use of the transporter there with that grenade

The first exchange between the two robots was over a bit to quickly, although with the violence of the attacks I supose thats hardly surprising, I think, if it survived! that the Sentinal should take the troopers a little more seriously next time it meets some of them that was a hell of an explosion. At the moment i'm feeling uncertain that the Sentinal will still be in fighting condition

Nice continuation of the battle tho Merc, it's gonna cost Tor a fortune to repair all this damage being done here, thats suposing he survives of course and if the station does for that matter!

Rest assured the Sentinels weapons are effective but in a different way...

.. the down side is the recharge rate is quite slow. However the reflective nature of the shields to energy weapon attack makes it doubley dangerous.

The troopers weren't in the direct line of fire which is why they weren't effected by the weapons.

As for the outcome of the grenade attack it's one of the three options...

Corrected cheers...

I'm usually of the opinion that if the technology exists and is available then it'll be used to gain advantage.

The exchange was meant to be short and brutal but the affect on the Devastator will be seen at the beginning of the next section...

Yep, there's a lot to be said for spending a bit more cash and having some decent walls in a place rather than these throw together prefab style ones...

Good stuff

Nothing like a robot war is there?

Like it Merc.

Great stuff Merc. Nice to see Tor is hanging around for the finale. My money is on the Sentinel in the big showdown
