BrikQuest CYOA

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

Spaceman is too old for this shit. Take careful aim and blow its pea brain out in one shot.

Given the urgency of the situation, you decide to be merciless and efficient and shoot the dimaeterrordon first.

Image

You shoot the beast right in the eye! Blood juts out and the creature lets out a pained roar, which temporarily pierces the cacophonic sound of the Steel Legion's invasion.

Image

Caught off guard for a moment, the dimaeterrordon retaliates and hits you with a tail swipe!

Image

You crash against the cold stone wall, barely hanging to your consciousness... your blaster's knocked away and you can hear the beast closing in on you. You prepare for the worst. You hear a bone-shattering crunch; however, you feel no pain! But if the sound wasn't your body getting torn apart then what could have happened?

Image

You sit up and much to your horror you find that the dimaeterrodon's slain, its head bashed into a bloody pulp! But what apex predator could put such a swift end to a fearsome beast like this? "SPACEMAN! OVER HERE!"

Image

Ooka's cry snaps you out of your thoughts and you finally look around... only to find her back with a... well, let's just say you were expecting something far less impressive. Considering she built this from scraps over time, it's quite a machine - you hope it will be enough to fight back.

Image

You climb up after picking up your blaster. "I'll steer it and you help me with aiming the shoulder cannon okay?" Ooka proposes, sounding far too enthusiastic given the dire situation. You agree with her plan though, and you begin marching back to Scrap City - time is of the essence!

Image

Image

The gates are under relentless assault, however, the combined strength of various factions so far managed to stem the iron tide. Then, with a thunderous crash, a new unit enters combat!

Image

It's a Worldslayer class combat mech! These double as one-mech armies as well as mobile command extensions to coordinate the army.

"RESISTANCE: GREATER THAN ANTICIPATED, RECOMMENDED STRATEGY: ELIMINATE KEY DEFENSE GRID-"

Image

Image

With a single shot of its doombringer cannon, the Worldslayer vaporizes Scrap City's old shield generator. The battle pauses for a moment as the defenders watch in terror.

Image

"-AND SLAUGHTER OPPOSITION!"

With their advantage lost the defenders retreat, the seemingly endless army of machinery hot on their heels.

Image

The Devastator unit piloting the Worldslayer watches as the battle unfolds. It alone could blast away these weak fleshlings were not for the doombringer cannon's recharge timer. But the Legion is not in a hurry; slowly but surely they will whittle them down, mechaform the planet, and probably receive honorary upgrades from the Prime Unit. Victory is close...
"NOT SO FAST, GEARHEAD!"

Image

You returned just in time it seems! The Devastator is puzzled by the sight of an equal foe, but only for a second or two. The Worldslayer assumes battle stance, ready to take your mech on first!

Spaceman, Ooka will deal with melee combat, however she will need your advice which component to attack with the potassium-panzerfaust! Will you:

1. Aim at the Claw Arm.
2. Aim at the Cannon Arm.
3. Aim at the Legs.
4. Aim at the Torso.

If enough precision to take out pilot, supposing no obvious protections, take him out and steal his mech. If not, go for the legs first.
