The hand releases me.

"I apologize. Your goals are the same as my own, and I admire your will to fight. My name, as I had mentioned, is Manewis. I would like to assist you in your attempt to destroy this cursed island."

Holy fuck was that a reploid?

Oh my god you still exist. OKAY THEN, MOVING ON... Time to back the FUCK away from that window and warily ask how he intends to help you.

Ask it if it has a plan, and if it needs help escaping from... wherever it is, though considering it just punched through the glass it probably doesn't.

Also ask it if it knows of an Irregular Hunter named X.

I quickly back away from the window.

>"And h-how do you intend to help? Especially since you're sealed up over there?"

"I, most likely, have much better knowledge of this island's layout than you do. If you have found a PDA, like I mentioned, I can upload to you what I have managed to map out. Additionally, the architects here have arranged some doors so that they require somewhat... unorthodox methods of opening to confound intruders. For instance, some doors are operated by control panels in different sectors, such as the Warehouse District or the Factory District. As you can see, it would be difficult for a single person to manage to make their way through the facility on their own."

>"Do you have some kind of plan?"

"My plan is simple. Make my way to the engine room, that controls the flight mechanism for the island, and blow it up, sending a chain reaction through the island that will obliterate it and send what's left plummeting to the bottom of the ocean. Should you accept my aid, I would advance through the Factory while you advance through the Warehouse, meeting up in the Castle Garden District, ideally."

Let's do it.

At the very least, we get a map out of the deal.

Okay but we must brofist or pinkie swear for trust. Our partnerly bondage must be forsworn!

>>271895
It's not like you have any better idea what you're doing.

Any way to communicate securely once you split up?

It doesn't exactly seem to be sealed back there, exactly, considering the way it just smashed through part of the window it could probably clear out the rest of it. Still, while we don't know much at all about this guy or his intent and motivations, he's got more of a plan how to take this place down than you do, and for the moment your interests align. So while you shouldn't trust him with your life, you've got no better plans at the moment as to how to take down the island, so let's do what he's got planned. For now.

Ask if he's the guy who's been sending you helpful texts.

I'm still a little hesitant.
>"Is there some way I we can communicate once we leave this window?"

"Have you found any manner of communications device while exploring yet?"

>"I've found this CELL PHONE."

"That will be sufficient. I will be able to contact that device once you give me the number."

I click through the phone's menus and find it's phone number and give it to Manewis.

>"I assume that means you aren't the one who's been sending me helpful text messages?"

"Helpful text messages? No. I haven't been doing any such thing. Perhaps someone from my squad is still hiding on the island?"

(You now may choose to follow Kensuyata or Manewis. You can switch between characters with a simple call from the CELL PHONE as long as you possess it.)

While I'm more interested in Ken and she probably needs us more, getting us inside the head of our new mysterious friend would be more prudent at the moment.

Let's take Manewis for a spin.

>>271913
Hey, before we leave contact, I suggest giving your new buddy your secret helper's phone number. That way he can try to determine on his own who that is.

You have selected Manewis. Manewis may suggest locations or actions for Kensuyata to go to or perform via her CELL PHONE as long as she possesses it. She will carry out his suggestions, but will not have your watchful eye to protect her, so choose her actions with greater caution.

Awaiting input_

Examine room and the dead bodies.

We're a NINJA ROBOT. This is so cool.

So, Manewis, tell us about yourself.

I am the Mark 4 Ninjutsu Operations Bionic Infiltrator, designation "Manewis." I am, to my knowledge, the sole survivor of Momotaro Unit, a special infiltration unit tasked with entering Onigashima and destroying it from the inside. My role was Fire Support. I am equipped with a COLLAPSIBLE NAGINATA, a forearm mounted KUNAI LAUNCHER, Shoulder mounted SHURIKEN LAUNCHERS, SHORT RANGE TELEPORTER, PERSONAL CLOAKING SYSTEM, on board MAP, and COMMUNICATION SUITE. Our mission was not successful. 100 years ago this room was to be our last stand, but through the prolonged fighting, I found my POWER CELL depleted, and was forced to enter a dormant mode to conserve power. I was unable to help Yamazaru, Inu, and Kiji as the demons broke in.

>>271944
I am not equipped with a suit. I am an android designed to assist my human squad mates in their tasks.

>>271982
Perhaps Momotaro Sensei still lives? He stayed behind to buy us time to make our escape. I remind the Tanuki to locate a PDA and attempt to contact me again upon obtaining one.

>>271936
>>271945
The bodies are of my former comrades, Yamazaru, Inu, and Kiji. Any useful equipment they at one time possessed has been expended in fending off the hordes of demons that were once within these walls. The room extends further ending in a breach created by the demons. The door was welded shut long ago and has not functioned since.

>>271939

So there were five of him and he still lost?..welp if we set off an island wide alarm we're fucked.

>>272058

What is the current status of your power cell? Perhaps we can get Kensuyata to find a replacement.

so how did your power cells just reupped themselves...?

if your friend that stayed behind was a shapeshifter, its likely he survived and has been living waiting ever since. i would not be surprised if he had somehow recharged your power cell.

anyway how is your ammo? depleted?

>>272059
Correction, there has only been one of me. The other members of Momotaro unit were humans. I was assigned to the unit to assist them in the completion of their mission. There were more than five of us in the initial assault on the island.

>>272099
This POWER CELL is about 50% depleted. A replacement should indeed be located and has been added to the OBJECTIVE LIST. The FACTORY DISTRICT, which I am in, should undoubtedly have POWER CELLS or RECHARGERS located within.

>>272142
My POWER CELL did not "re-up itself." The Tanuki assisted me through the use of the crane arm, taking the POWER CELL from this Demon automaton here. He will not be needing it anyway.

My ammunition is low, but I still possess; 15 Kunai
5 Shuriken bursts (Shuriken fire in bursts of 6, 3 from each launcher)

>>272292
All of my systems seem to be operational. My SHORT RANGE TELEPORTER allows me to make short jumps of roughly 5 feet at a time and is capable of 3 sustained jumps before requiring recharge. Excessive use of the TELEPORTER or PERSONAL CLOAK will increase the drain on my POWER CELL requiring it to be recharged or replaced sooner. Should a mishap occur and I find a wall or solid object in my teleport destination, the object, and the portion of my body will obliterate eachother.

Look through that big hole.

Where'd the crane go? Also, when you teleport, can you carry an item with you? Could you use this item to purposefully intersect it into an enemy to obliterate both? Like, pick up a pipe and teleport right next to someone holding it out so that it intersects with the enemy's body.

TELEFRAG-NO-JUTSU is indeed possible, however extremely dangerous to the user's well being and safety, thus should only ever be resorted to in the direst of circumstances.

I step through the breach. This is the hole the Demons created to gain access to the room we had taken shelter in.

Walljump up to the platform up there. See what that cool thing is.

If those monitors don't say anything useful or look useful at all, smash them to get coins and/or potroast.

Going up seems harder, therefore I want to believe something up there may be useful or lead us on our journey, how hard would it be to get up there?

Can you not crawl through this door?

If not, return to bottom floor and go right.

Well you could either try teleporting past the door, which has some danger, or brute force the door.

We used a chunk of battery to get up here. Please tell us we can get through the door without making a huge amount of noise.

The door opens as I approach. Many of the doors on this island are automated. I activate a POWER SLIDE to fit through the door.

There is a large robot sitting on a still conveyor belt. Many of the devices in here appear to be dormant for some reason. I would have thought that their production would still be going.

Sabotage the mecha-tengu, if possible. You do not want to fight it later.

Momotaro Sensei is a great warrior. Before being assigned to our squad, Inu, Yamazaru, and Kiji could not get along. It was difficult to make it through even the simplest tasks with the three of them at eachother's throats. Momotaro Sensei stepped forth, volunteering to take our unit under his wing and taught my former comrades the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. They remembered his teachings to the very end... His sword seems at first glance like an ordinary blade, but in his hands he was able to slay the most fearsome and invincible beast with only a few swings. I still do not know how he was capable of accomplishing these feats, but I hope to one day make him proud and follow in his footsteps.

Where does the conveyor belt go...?

Eh, let's get out. Back down the ledge and further to the right.

then its possible your sensei was sending you a message.

how are you? is it possible the chamber did something to you? is there anything else destroyed or maybe planted?

leaving seems to be the right thing to do. can you wreck the place a bit?

Destroy the machine. Then jump up onto the conveyor belt and punch through that metal shutter door.

The platforms appear to be attached to a vertical belt. They are currently retracted into a housing in the back wall to accommodate the conveyor belt above me and not active. The conveyor above looks like it can retract into the platform up there, there must be a control for that somewhere nearby. I am capable of jumping roughly my own height without teleporting, however, I am incapable of the WALL JUMP technique. Conserving my POWERCELL does, indeed, seem like a logical idea. Perhaps somewhere I could find some manner of equipment to aid in vertical ascent without the use of my TELEPORTER PACK. My body is designed to utilize the Demon weapons and technology in the event our mission should run into... complications.

what's in the room up ahead?

Need to find a grappling hook of some sort. Got it.

For now, advance ahead and look around.

Go straight.

Initial analysis confirms that the string is attached to some manner of triggering device embedded in the ceiling. The "bait" appears to be some manner of envelope attached with a simple hook.

I obtained the "bait" without setting off the trap, I have no idea what kind of trap it was, or if doing so deactivated it. I can attempt to disarm and acquire this trap as well, but it could be risky.

>>281555
I open the envelope. Inside is a note, it reads:
"Dear Intruder,
If you are reading this, then I need to try harder. Thus, I hearby challenge you to a duel. Meet me at the WASTE DISPOSAL wing at 0100 hours. Do Not Be Late.

M.-"

It then proceeds to give directions to the WASTE DISPOSAL wing from this location.

0100 is approaching according to my internal clock, though it may have been effected by Onigashima's phasing during the 100 years I've been trapped here. Should I accept or decline such a challenge?

>Accepting will allow a quick travel to the meeting point. Declining will allow further exploration of this area.<

>>281569
You've got to be joking... this was supposed to be an attempt on our person? What kind of demon is this?

>>281569

If he sets up traps this lame, how hard can he be?

Accept the duel and warp to his location.

>>281569
Heck, sure, why not. Go duel him.

Let's go fuck him up.

>>281569
This is clearly the REAL trap. The directions will lead to the Onigashima Science Emergency Intruder Incinerator. Go some other way.

>Person admits to setting traps
>Politely asks you to be in a particular place at a particular time

"Hello... trapper. Is this a duel, or you going to make me hunt you down, while mocking me on the intercom?"

Alright it may not be a crusher, but it's still a trash disposal device. Quickly check down the pit to see what you're about to be pushed into.

Do you think the blade you have, or anything you have could damage/break/dent the wall if not jamming it? it could be thinner metal than it looks.

Wait a moment. If there are no cameras here they probably just pointed you to be here for when the waste system is scheduled to activate, so that will presumably retract of its own accord.

I do not possess any flares. My inventory consists of: COLLAPSIBLE NAGINATA, MOMOTARO SENSEI'S KATANA, DIRECTIONAL MINE AND REMOTE TRIGGER, and TRIP WIRE.

My eye is equipped with a wide variety of vision modes, including night vision. Though the amount of light in this area would interfere with my ability to see into the darkness at the bottom of the pit from up here.

Well, where is the light coming from? Can you reduce the light levels with directed violence? (hopefully without the use of your limited ammunition projectiles)

Wait for the door to open back up again, I guess.

Maybe we should just drop down and see what's there.

>>281651
ask him about your sensei's sword.

looks like he was the one that planted it there. strange he never tried lifting a finger by himself.

anyway, down there are more traps. is there anything else on the place that you can see? a vent, a camera, a observing room?

he can just open the trash and dump you in the outside if he fails. in fact that could be the trap anyway.

How thick is the door? Is there anything stopping you from just teleporting through it?

>>281651
Is there any kind of sensor in this area? Perhaps we could fool it into thinking you have fallen in? Or we could perhaps attempt to use the directional claymore mine to blow a hole in one of the walls.

Don't be silly. Musashi's just about the most generic Samurai name you can get, just like Hanzou's the most generic Ninja name you can get. She's probably one of ten thousand boys and girls given that name. So time to thrash her. Of course, considering you do have a teleportation device, you could always, having engaged weapons with her, POOF past her and either strike her down from behind or lock her inside here, assuming you can do so.

That is an excellent question! Draw your blade and ask the question.

"I am sorry, I have been on board Onigashima for over 100 years. I am not the intruder you seek. But if I may ask, why are you seeking out an intruder? I would expect a demon to carry out such a task."

Not that legend. I refer to the legend of Musashi and Kojiro, the legendary S.A.M.U.R.A.I. prototypes on which the N.O.B.I. model androids were based. As the legend goes, both were deployed to Onigashima centuries ago. Contact with both units was said to have been lost upon Onigashima's disappearance.

im guessing the scarf is a tentacle thing?

anyway it seems to be at least a heavily altered mushashi model. i cannot tell for the life of me why it would maintain its honor code if it works, or is, a demon.

keep talking, preferably without attacking. just dodge.

...Where'd the sword go?

I just bet she's been reprogrammed or memory wiped or brainwashed or something.

[i]The scarf is a limiter installed into all N.O.B.I. units after the Mark 2's to get around an inherent flaw in the original designs that caused fatal overheating and power drain. The limiter keeps our heat and power draw on our POWER CELLS in check. Without it, our POWER CELLS run the risk of overheating resulting in a catastrophic explosion. The length of the scarf extended is the amount of power being allowed to flow by the limiter. When it is extended I am able to move quicker and hit harder, but if a combat goes to long, my POWER CELL will begin to deplete.

Cheap shot? NINJA. Now, remember that she's not the only one who can use that cord. Grab hold of it and yank her forward, but be ready to dodge that spear. Glowy=bad.

>>284841
Well gee I guess we'll just have to kill her.

See if you can't whip the cable to snare around her weapon. If nothing else it might at least cut it and give us an idea of just how badly we want to avoid the glowing bit.

Be careful something is sitting in the corner and I doubt the polearm strapped to its back is just for show.

>>284841
You're still golden robotbro. That thing in the corner is probably the Kojiro model, judging by the length of the blade. Considering their current position and historical roots, you have a good chance of enlisting their aid against Musashi.
If you want to do that, even. I would suggest >>284844. You have the advantage of the teleporter module and later model design. Pull on the cord, then teleport strike with your sword so the opponent can't properly judge the distance.

Well, at least you now know that the enemy's naginata is serious business. It's time to unleash the full NINJA. Musashi probably expects another teleport move so save those for when you need to evade her attacks.
Throw some shurikens directly at her eyes, to obscure her vision for a moment. Then move in with your blade for a hit-and-run.

What would it take to destroy that weapon of hers?

Wait a minute! Let's just stall her and parry her blows until she overheats! She's a prototype and like three generations older than us. Then when we've defeated her this way we can talk about getting her core programming out of her CPU. Or would overheating her fry the CPU and kill her instantly?

and, oh, that dude may just be your missing sword owner. identify yourself to him as quietly as you can. he should watch this battle to either defeat her or help you.

Strike while she has the blade out of the way, and aim for the legs. She doesn't have the same teleportation ability as you do and (Seems to) have a slower and more unwieldy weapon. If you can mess up her leg joints you could probably put a stop to this.

Considering the way those shurikens stopped, though, she probably has some sort of force field...

>>284939
This is a good plan. If you get lucky you might even find a discarded bucket of old turpentine, or something.

>>284969
Communicating quietly with a dude across the room and on the other side of the enemy is pretty much impossible. Don't bother.

I wonder... do robots have certain parts that are sensitive, as well? Under the arms or the like?

>>284987
Are you suggesting he strike for the mechgina?

>>284937

Where's that heat source you saw down here earlier?

If it's that other robot (and thus not helpful), what if you tried snagging her with your scarf? If it's venting your heat it may increase hers.

>>285015

Hell, barring that; if the trash is flammable just set the whole damn heap on fire.

>>284939
Fire solves all problems.

>>284939
I cannot pick out specific materials from the heap of trash.

>>284962
So long as nothing goes wrong with her Auto Shutdown, the over heating should simply shut down her body before an explosion takes place. If the temperature ceases rising she should be safe from explosion or damaging her hardware.

>>284968
It appears to be a piece of insulated wiring. There is a bundle of wires draping out of it.

>>284969
Momotaro Sensei was not a robot, he was a human.

"You would throw away your entire past for the sake of winning a petty duel!?"

"Who are you to think you know me so well anyway?"

>>285016
I do not possess anything with which to ignite the trash heap myself.

>>284987
I lunge forward and sweep my NAGINATA toward her feet. She leaps back.

>>285015
In the same motion I grasp my scarf and whip it around toward her.

>>285174
The weighted end of the scarf around her head. The venting heat causes a hissing sound against her cool metal frame. I must take precautions not to allow the scarf to be severed, otherwise I will no longer be able to deploy it once it is retracted.

Attempt to disarm her. Knock that dangerous blade away.

>>285177
This. Use the Izuna Drop to both disarm her and smash her frame against the ground.

 

>>285178
Video provided for NINJA reference.

How strong are you, compared to her? can you just drop the naginata and grapple with her for hers, while continuing to overheat her?

>>285176
Get in close. The length of her weapon is her greatest advantage and disadvantage. Of course, it's quite possible that she has backup weapons...

>>285184
To be specific, wait until she swings at your scarf then port behind her and wrap your scarf around her again. Then wait until her struggles and your resistance overheats her.

>>285174
>"Who are you to think you know me so well anyway?"
Your both fucking robots. A screw up with programming can change your entire personality. There is hardly a 'you' under all that steel and firepower. Just circuits easy to corrupt and the ghost in the machine. Yall have feelings, but an identity is something else entirely.

>>285186

Unless one has a partition of protected memory, anyways.

>>285174
"Your child."

It's close enough. She's your precursor, after all.

>>285193
You gonna make it into robo-incest? Not cool, man.

>>285178
I would require the use of my TELEPORTER PACK to gain sufficient height for such a maneuver, it has yet to recharge since my last use of it.

>>285180
>>285184
>>285185
I run up as she begins to swing at the scarf, wrapping it around once more, and catching the haft of her weapon as it swings. She seems to also possess SUPERIOR STRENGTH, we are fairly evenly matched. I pull the weapon across her torso trying to wrench it from her grasp. Only now that I am so close my sensors detect just how hot the end is.

"Gah! What do you think you're doin!?"

>>285218
Winning. Keep her held until she overheats.

TOUCH HER ROBOOB

Be careful of whatever she might do with her legs.

>>285218
Get her off balance before she does it to you and throws you.

>>285218
Use your other arm to grasp the other end, then use the staff to pin her against you. Use that hold to lift her off the ground so she loses her footing and can't get leverage against you. Her next move is probably going to be an attempt at throwing you, and if she succeeded at that then you would be at a severe disadvantage.

>>285218
Is it possible that she could be using the heat from her own systems to fuel her weapon?

Either attempt to keep the scarf wrapped around her, or somehow force the super-hot weapon into her person.

Tell her you're going to shut her down and see if you can make her remember who she really is. Tell her who you are, and how you know her, since she asked.

using her own heat to ignite the weapon? yes.

using it to fuel the weapon? unlikely due to the fact that the sword is way hotter that her system, the heat would just flow backward. however now that you have a grip on the gun, striking the ground could be sufficient to break it. simply do so and use a leap to break the polearm.

you need to continue dissuading her. keep talking about what you know of her past. and lastly, you have your back on a stranger, along with the fact you are entangled with a samurai renowed for his strategical moves, be prepared for a surprise attack.

>>285218
She's overheating! Deploy your coolant rod!

>>285226
This is actually what you need to do right now, to keep her pinned and keep overheating her.

>>285222
Yeah, we don't want to get kicked in the nuts. Ba-dum-tisch.

>>285218
This: >>285226 is the best course of action, robro. Also, don't bother talking to her, she's not gonna listen to what you have to say. Focus on overheating her systems.
Hopefully we can find some upgrades for you in Onigashima to increase SUPERIOR STRENGTH to STRENGTH TENFOLD.

welp... the weapon is hot, it's dangerous, and you have it by one hand... smack her into something... maybe a bad idea... but better than holding her

>>285226
Disregard that; I have consulted a qualified martial artist.

Move your left foot to the inside of her right leg.
Bring your left arm up from below to grab the weapon between her hands - the closer to the left hand the better.
Move your left shoulder back against her while pushing the end away from you, then pivot the weapon over the blade to break her grip on the weapon and move it away.
Since she's blinded it'll take too long for her to realize what's going on in order to counter it before it's too late.

>>285369
"It will be positioned with the weapon pointing down at the ground a ways away with the right arm outstreched along side it. It is an awkward position if not used to dealing with staves and such, however it allows for a stable grip on the weapon and repositioning isn't that difficult."

>>285220

This is the answer.

>>285369

Except that Manewis is using his left arm to manipulate the scarf, and this method of disarming relies upon Musashi's joints having ordinary human limits. And if they DON'T, it leaves her in perfect position to just yank back on the shaft and drive the blade up into Manewis' hip.

>>285377
The scarf is wrapped around her head and would require effort to dislodge.
Disarming her is of significant tactical advantage.
Her joints are irrelevant, as the joints aren't going to be forced out of a normal range of motion. It's forcing her to cross her arms so that the arms keep each other from being able to move to keep her grip.

>>285381

You realize that she's holding on to the weapon with her left hand and ripping the scarf off with her right, correct? You DID look at the picture, right?

And that, with how much bigger Manewis is than her, she would feel him stepping around her leg to get his body into position, right? Regardless of being 'blind' or not, right?

Manewis would have a better chance of getting the weapon by just letting go of the scarf, grabbing the haft with his left hand, and kicking her in the side to hope to dislodge her single-hand grip.

She releases her grip on the weapon and clasps her hand around my forearm. She rolls forward dragging me with her sending me hurling over her shoulder before I can get the leverage to suplex her. Damnit! As I am sent sailing through the air, her grip on my scarf remains firm and my scarf shreds under the tug of my own weight!

*Teleporter Recharged*

Swing your sword at her once.

Immediately teleport behind her and swing again in quick succession.

>>287720
That's why you were supposed to move your left leg between her legs; to keep her from being able to get leverage in the first place.
She couldn't have rolled forward like that if your leg had been in the way. Have you had any hand to hand combat training at all?

Know what? Fuck it. You have her weapon, just try to stab her a whole bunch. Can you manage that?

...I hope you have a spare scarf.

Where'd her weapon go? Try to get it. Use it against her.

Teleport behind her and grab her. We can still overheat her.

I do not have a spare scarf, it is installed within my body. Once it is retracted, without the stop-cap on the end, it will not be able to be extended again unless repaired.

I have in deed had hand to hand programing. I am programed in Ninjutsu.

I teleport from the ground to her side and hit her with the mundane end of the polearm, throwing her off balance. I then teleport around her front to disorient her, and again behind where I drive the heated end of the weapon into her back.

"K-k-k-yaaaaa!"

*KSSSSSSSS* Musashi's panels open in an attempt to vent heat. If I maintain the heat source, her system should undergo an automatic shut down and reboot.

Musashi launches a second grapnel from her other arm and flees back to the upper ledge.

"K-k-eh! I s-s-should have done mo-ore to you than just c-c-cut the damn p-ower to the r-r-recharge s-station! Bet-ter late than-n-never, have fu-un being a who-ole lot sm-a-aller!"

There is a loud grinding noise echoing all around the chamber.

>>287748
So, uh, do that?

And don't retract your scarf until you can find a needle and thread. I'm sure battle robots are well-trained in darning.

See where that other guy's going... he clearly knows how to survive this

We can't teleport, right? Ask monkbot if he has any kind of clever plan for getting out of this mess.

>>287751
If you can still teleport, DO IT! Get outta there, otherwise she'll turn you into scrap metal!
Also, do not retract the scarf just yet, we have to make sure the damage wasn't to big.

follow the other robot, seems to know what it is doing.

>>287751
Is there a drawback to leaving the scarf out? Perhaps you can tie it to a piece of rubble. Also, converse with that dude who was watching, and ask if he knows how to get out of here.
