Fight In Vainguard

Yulia casts identify which immediately ends any possibility of a non-hostile encounter as the two immediately raise weapons in response.

The identify returns, "Vanguard, essentially just predators again, but designed for defense over attack. They have slightly less agility, but more armor in return and have switched out morphic weaponry for heavy stun cannons. Like most machines they are resistant to physical damage, immune to heat and cold and powered by electricity," it says and one of the vanguards opens fire while speaking.

"Hostile actions detected, neutralizing threat," it says. It's blast is aimed for Yulia, but because of the cloak it passes around her and hits the ground behind her instead creating a small explosion of stunning that mercifully hits no one. Yulia responds by casting a quick undermine on them and an energize on Lemiel as Cherchiel rushes forward at the one that just shot at Yulia. She slashes at it, but it easily dodges her attack and tries to return fire, but she leaps at it, knocking it's cannon aside as it fires.

The rest of the group opens up on the second one and it manages to tank some of the hits, but even it's armor can't take sustained fire and the angelic rays from Lemiel eat through it's armor with ease regardless. It collapses and Cherchiel remains fighting the other one which is fast enough to dodge her attacks and bulky enough to tank what it can't though it also doesn't seem to be able to attack back. Maple takes aim with the railgun and the targeting helmet begins making a number of rapid calculations as soon as it finishes, Maple shoots and the railgun fires the bolt directly through the Vanguard's head and it collapses dead instantly. Cherchiel looks slightly miffed that her kill was stolen, but with that the battle is easily ended.

They recover 4 metal plates from the vanguards and head through the doors, as soon as they step through however a loud alarm starts blaring. The group stops, slightly surprised by the sudden alarms.

"Sally already knows where we are at all times so it's not like it matters," Maple suggests and the rest agree. Exiting the terminal they are in a windowed walkway, outside the windows is a massive factory, various conveyor belts working to create new machines, some are immediately recognizable, some are new designs the group don't recognize and one large belt seems to be building a new replacement for the Manager currently. The path continues for a bit before splitting in a number of directions. One direction leads to the factory floor, but appears to be blocked off, one direction leads to storage and the last leads to the Operations Control Console. The alarm is still blaring.
