(away from the nerd and the punk, in a deep underground cavern, a giant structure awakens)
structure detected, initializing destruction lv1-5 units,...
(the structure begins to move and it mines the ground around it and makes dog-sized robots with picks for front legs, drills where noises would be, and a furnace-like inside to their sharp mouths)
directive: destroy all sapient being on the planet and all remnants.. send to sector 847.2.
(the robot dogs rush the walls of the cavern, and drill to reach the surface like giant moles)
(when the dogs of war burst out of the ground, the pack rushed towards the sprout of civilization...well..okay; one digitized gaming nerd and one punk-ass musician hanging around a concrete shelter housing a matter synthesizer, but that's beside the point. them dogs are coming to wreck their shit up and kill them, luckily the punk just finished getting an upgrade)
(jane wakes in the bed like chamber, and opens it to get up)@okay...what I get [email protected]
(the avatar perks up)"o-haha, because I'm plant-like, you're saying I use nuts to procreate...wait....now I made a joke"

"....okay;.... basically, you now have super strength, being able to pick up a boulder twice your size like a baseball, and you can jump really fucking high"
@you cursed again, that's a good [email protected]
"e-yup, I still need to-"
(Loud crackling noise interrupts them)
(The dogs approach the building as the disastrous duo step out to see what made the noise)
"Oh, look,...robot dogs, I'm gonna see if they, can be talked to"
@[email protected]
(They walk to the robot dogs )
"Howdy little fellas, why are you here?"
(One of them rips their arm clean off)
"...[indignant]you are soo lucky that that grows back"

(Jane hits one in front of them in a golf stroke with her guitar)
@the hell man, you cannot be this [email protected]
"Because I am not, I have you here for starters(catches one that tried to jump on them with one hand)I just didn't want to make enemies unnecessarily,...now I know these can't be reasoned with(what looks like long-clawed nails extend from their hand into the robots head)...and they were sent to destroy us by a robotic entity......SOO COOL!!"

"We get to fight an evil thing that probably killed most of this planets lifeforms."
@(while holding off one of them)and HOW is that a good [email protected]
"...endless heads to bust, in increasing difficulty, and an excuse to make defences"

"(Makes disturbing noises of pleasure) guns, monsters, defences, danger, base building, investigating, scavaging, this is a paradise for a warrior"
@(disturbed)don't fetishize my violent nature, [email protected]
"Sorry,..(hits another that lunged at them with the one in their hand, breaking both bots)....I'm almost tempted to make an unarmed joke"
(jane sighs in exacerbation, one of the robots latches on to her arm and drills into it. causing her to scream. causing druzy to rush over and bite at the bot at the neck, decapitating it)
@AAAARRGEE!!...MY GODAM [email protected]
"We should focus on the drill-dogs for now."
(druzy begins sock puppeting the head and uses it to chomp on the dogs)
".....my my, it is a dog eat dog world after all."

"i-dono, hey, how do you get a one-armed man down a tree? You wave at him."

she begins breaking the dog bots apart in quicker secession, even using her injured arm to literally tear them apart.
"There we go. I was beginning to worry that it wouldn't activate"
(the severed arm perks up showing it took root, grabbing one of the dogs by its tail before it could attack jane from behind)
"Oh no you don't robo-pupper, you are coming with me for reprogramming, "
(jane is still screaming, even after the remaining robots seem to be retreating, she chases after them like a woman possessed, until they were all "dead", using still intact husks as implements to beat the still moving ones to death, ripping one in half like a durrian with her bare hands)
(druzy go's to their "captive" and powers it down)
(jane shuffles back to druzy, exhausted from what she just did)
@*pants*.....what was that? @
"a little extra I put into your additions, it's what I call your juggernaut mode, I had to cause you to be REALLY angry to activate it, if I didn't,..well...we'd be dead in the water by now so to speak"
@[email protected]
