Though outnumbered and outgunned, Janna's training continues to shine through as she lands a perfect headshot and outs one of 109.XY's minions down permanently. She's not finished there though as another of them is caught in the line of fire and sustains a serious injury, though it yet lives.
Karrik's arrow meanwhile flies towards 109.XY himself and though it is unable to penetrate his armor it manages to his just the right spot to knock something loose in his circuitry. the lights mounted about his body flicker briefly before settling on a somewhat dimmer if no less menacing glow.
In an amazing trick shot the arrow itself manages to ricochet off his body, smack one of his minions across the face and finally bounce off the forcefield of one of the nearby nodes.
109.XY lets out a menacing growl, but proceeds to the next nod unheeding of the interruptions around him. Once there he again attempts to activate it, though it is clear the last attack has not made it easy on him. Amazingly though he managed to push through and activate yet another node. Two of them now hum with life, and only one is left before the device powers up. [spending triumph to upgrade minions next skill check. Taking 2 strain from threat]
The cyborgs are having less luck, in fact they seem to be hitting everything but the keleres! Still there aim can only get better from here. [spending three advantage to ignore negative environmental effects until the end of the next turn]
