Half an hour, and several uneventful encounters later, you pad along the heated hallways with the group. You soon hear the sound of machinery and metal clanging on stone as ED-E begins to bob wildly, and Mabosstiff begins to whine and growl.
"Dwemmer constructs... Lots of them." Six said.

"I am a bit concerned about my sword's usdefulness against artificial machines", Saeko admitted.

"Can you use any other weapons of note?" Six asked as everyone moved to huddle in a circle to protect each other.
Save for the one remaining, badly damaged Chaurus thrall which Six sent ahead to try and try out the machines.

"Aside from the handgun you gave me, Marika taught me how to use basic offenseive spells. I can use Flames, Frost and Sparks", she explained. "But I'm still very much a newbie at it. I can also cure myself a little."

"Okay, then support with those." He said as you watch the thrall get ambushed and turn apart by several four legged spider robots as more start coming in from the sides.

"Okay. Will do", she said, choosing to use her Sparks spell, as she figured electricity would work better on machines than fire and cold would. 6 in Destruction (Sparks) for an attack (Normal and Stun damage; Lightning element) VS a dwarven spider.
4 (Ef) in Samurai into defense. (Total ph.defense: 8, 10 VS Blunt/Grappling)

You zap and manage to stagger and knock down a single spider as your teamates manage to bring down several more despite occasionally taking a lightning blast or two.
Meanwhile you see two spheres roll in which unfold into monowheeled(?) warriors that begin to close into melee range only for Mabosstiff, and Argis charging in and engaging. Argis' chainsword just barely managing to bypass the sphere's armor.

The purplette moved to blast one of the two metal warriors with more of her lightning attack to support Argis! 6 in Destruction (Sparks) for an attack (Normal and Stun damage; Lightning element) VS the one Argis attacked, preferably after his blade is no longer in contact with it, lol.
4 (Ef) in Samurai into defense. (Total ph.defense: 8, 10 VS Blunt/Grappling)

You zap and manage to help finish off the first centurion.
"Good work everyone... Looks like the next room is some kind of treasure room." He said as everyone went inside. "Huh? I've never seen this machine before." Six said. "Everyone search the room, and see what loot you can find while I figure out how this works." He said.
You pad around the somewhat less heated floor than before when you spot something in the corner of the room... a scroll of some kind.

"I think I got something. Instructions for the machine, maybe?" she suggested, opening it up and glancing at it as she walked back to him to hand him the scroll.

You open the scroll... and see a disgram of eyes... lots and lots of different eyes.
The scroll flashes and your eyes feel like someone took a blowtorch to them as the scroll burns away and falls to the floor in ashes.

She screeched in pain as she dropped to her knees, holding up her hands on said eyes.

"Saeko!" In an instant Six was by your side as you felt something being injected into the side of your neck taking a lot of the pain away.

"I... I-I'm... I'm okay? ...I... think?" she stammered, glancing up at him.
...Her irises now green with what appeared to be crosshairs-like markings on them.

"Your eyes... They're different." He noted. "Can't be a side effect of the Med-X I gave you." He said.
