Dredge turned at the echo of shots and screaming.
"I guess we get the boring side..."
He said, as a small swarm of red eyes appeared in the dark corridor to his left. He smiled and leveled his blade with his back, and leaped to meet them.

(Dredge, there is no corridor to your left. We have the map laid out. We'll let you know when you come up to a junction. Yours is still straight for a bit.)

The machine rounded the corner and Max shot it in it's red eye, the machine fell over still twitching. Max looked at Beta and said "At least you tried." He then jumped on top of the machine and punched into it, pulling out a small crystal, after which the machine shut down completely. "Huh?" Max said looking over the crystal. He then crushed it and said "lets move on, down that path the machine came at us from, the drones have to be protecting something.." Max moved down the hall nonchalantly after that first bot he wasn't worried about another one.

The girl nodded and proceeded after Max, still tugging fruitlessly at her pistol.
Up ahead of them, there was a door on the right side of the hallway and another fork just beyond that with a nasty rumbling sound coming from around the corner.

Terros' head snapped back at the sounds from the other team. "Ah, so they've struck something that hits back..." He said. "Okay! That's a good enough cue for me." The Android faded from sight, though he was still with the group. "Let's keep going, you! We're not gaining anything by just slacking around."

The second team's hallway went straight without deviation for some time, but eventually, there was a right turn up ahead. Just beyond that, the hallway came to an end and a second right turn. Sounds could be heard, but because of the closeness of the two hallways to each other, which one they were coming from was impossible to tell.

[Aww.. I was getting bored.. your team has all the fun ] Dredge sighed and kept moving, waiting for the attack.

"Hmm." Max pondered, "I have a feeling something big is up ahead, lets go into this room and see what's inside." Max approached the door and it opened, most likely as a result of some motion sensing technology, just before entering he said "You can try your gun later, we don't need to now." and stepped inside.

Beta flushed in embarassment and lowered her arm as they stepped inside.
Inside, an old console took up an entire wall, lined with buttons and one large one, marked Security.

"Oh my gosh, this thing is huge!" Max said approaching the panel in awe. "I don't even know where to start..." He turned to Beta and said "You wouldn't happen to know how to work this thing would you?"

Beta moved over toward the big button in the middle. "It looks like an override control and it's marked Security. Maybe it'll turn off whatever that big thing is ahead?" Her hand hovered over the panel as she looked back toward Max for his opinion.

Max removed his pistol from it's holster and said "Ok press the button, lets hope it does, the less fighting we do the better, we need to get out of here quick."

She nodded and pressed it, and the loud sound of something moving gradually slowed to silence.
Down the other hall, the second group heard a click come from the first right intersection as they came up beside it.

Dredge peered down the direction of the sound, and moved ahead to get a glimpse of what it was. He couldn't see in the darkness, but his sword gave off a fain light letting him see his own two feet.

A flash of red light shot across the end of the hallway opposite Dredge, followed shortly by a burst of plasma fire.
