Steel Waste Chapter 237

"*Zzzt*AHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Klaus shouts over the intercom, but Afton could swear he could hear Klaus's actual voice... His suspicions were confirmed when a panel of metal slid open from behind the cell bars on the wall.
Behind the panel was a thick layer of glass, through it both Anja and Afton could see an almost foaming at the mouth Klaus trying to kill them with his eyes. Obviously nothing happens, but the insane man seemed intent on trying.
Afton grabs a stimpack and stabs himself in the side with it, healing the wound he had caused to himself. "I warned you Klaus, now look at you. Hiding in your own home while your family is murdered. Pathetic!" he spits, causing Klaus to scream and start shouting curses at him.
While that's going on Afton looks to Anja, spotting that she's still trembling slightly due to the rather horrific experience she'd just had. "You alright?"
She slowly nods, "Y-yeah. I think so..."
Afton nods in return and walks over to the wall where the panel was, tracing his finger on it to look for grooves where a hidden entrance might be. Unfortunately, there wasn't any indication that an entrance was anywhere around here. "See anything Anja?" he asks.
She shakes her head, "No... I heard them-Klaus, enter a hidden entrance behind me but I don't think we'll have a chance to get to him."
Afton shrugs, "Alright, let's leave then. We'll burn down the house so Klaus is trapped down here." he says, loud enough for Klaus to hear him.
"Y-YOU M-M-MONSTERS!"
"I'd rather be a monster than a nazi zombie dude." Afton says, giving a brief wave before walking towards the exit.
Anja follows him closely, but it seems like Klaus had taken his bait... The sound of heavy gears turning and metal sliding against metal could be heard behind him. Afton turns and spots a large section of the wall raising and disappearing into the ceiling.

Afton has to throw himself and Anja to the floor though as many Mister Handys and some other variants start firing at them, bright red beams impacting the position that they'd just been in.
[John Wick Style is in effect]
He fires That Gun towards the group from the floor, destroying a couple of the robot's sensors with quick efficiency. There are four Mister handys and one Doctor Handy, three of the former now lack some of their sensors and are struggling to aim their weapons.
Afton stands and takes a couple shots to the chest, his fancy clothing not providing any defence against the weapons. The smell of burnt flesh pervades the air as black marks form on his torso, fortunately he's able to endure these hits due to his Endurance and other [Perks].
[Grit is in effect]
Anja finally starts moving and pulls out her 9mm Submachine gun, spraying it at the robots with some effect. The bullets spark off of some of the more armoured parts of the robots, but a few bullets hit and disable their limbs which are carrying the weapons.
Afton empties the rest of That Guns ammo before sheathing it and sprinting towards the robot after grabbing Knock-Knock from the bag, slamming it against the Doctor Handy. The robot struggles to stay afloat as the force slams it against the ground, the scalpal attached to one of its arms flails at him in a vain attempt at self-preservation, but Afton just grabs the limb and tears it off with sheer strength alone.
"My prescription for your safety is to stop!" the robot states as Afton rears back for another strike, a laser from another robot shoots him in the side but he brings down the axe regardless.
*SMASH!*
The Doctor Handy is blown to pieces by his strike, though Knock-Knock looks like it has seen better days... The axe head looked chipped and slightly bent, yeah that's what he gets for using it against metal...

Anja shoots another burst at the Mister Handys next to Afton, managing to take one out before running out of ammo. More help isn't needed though as Afton dismantles them quickly with his damaged axe.
It had barely been a minute and all of the robots were but scrap metal on the floor. Afton winces as he glances down at his chest. The burns looked worse than they actually were, but he'd wrap them up after they'd dealt with Klaus.
He glances to Anja and gives a thumbs up, "Nice job.", though, by how much she's struggling to reload her weapon, she needed more practice...
Shaking his head and looking at where the robots had come from, he spots a double door made of metal with some kind of scanner on the wall beside it. He walks up and looks it over before giving the doors a push, finding that they were too thick for him to break through himself, even with his superhuman strength.
Before he's even able to ask, Anja had cracked open the bottom of the scanner with a strange tool and was poking around inside the wiring. Now, Afton had maxed out both Repair and Science, so if given enough time he might be able to get through it... But not without much trial and error, lock-picking and other things of a similar nature were in a Skill-tree that Afton refused to put points in before anything else.
"Any good?" he asks as she works.
Anja gives a small nod, "I-I'm still a bit shaky but... I think I've got it." she says shoving her arm up to the elbow into the panel before wrenching something out. Afton's attention is drawn towards the door though as a faint click could be heard.
He gives them a hard shove causing them to slam open, "Good job Anja." he states as he walks inside, gun drawn.
