I did not want to see the Manager
Managing
Yulia casts identify on the Manager and it returns
"MGR:R-7 Overseer class Machine. Colloquially known as the Manager, created by Kel as a simple system to manage and automate the running of the megastore, since Kel's imprisonment and the full takeover by Sally, it has been augmented to more heavily favour security. On top of the identification system and grabbing hands it was originally given that could be used for security purposes as well as managerial duties such as stocking, it has been given stun lashers, long range stun attachment, a reservoir of stasis gel and advanced combat strategic systems. It has the ability to recognize magic and it's systems are designed to focus on magic and magic wielders above all else in a combat scenario. On top of this it is tapped into multiple camera systems around the store and has control of a number of drone servants known as Staffbots which themselves are equipped with short range stun guns and photographic equipment. Like most machines the Manager is resistant to most physical damage and will be supercharged by electrical damage. Heat and Cold are also mostly ineffective against it," the identify returns.
"Sounds like this might be a difficult battle," Yulia says and the rest nod, getting into their positions, Isalia, Cherchiel and Lemiel up front.
Yulia starts to cast energize and immediately the Manager fires a stun shot at her, luckily the Cloak of Turbulent Waves turns away the shot and she finishes casting. The Manager seems to realize it can't hit her from range though and moves towards her trying to prevent her from finishing her spellcasting as she continues to energize the rest of the group. Cherchiel, Isalia Lemiel and Goma all move to help as the Manager grabs for Yulia, their weapons doing little to harm the many mechanical arms reaching for her, but they manage to hold it off allowing Yulia to finish Energizing everyone but Maple who has crouched in a corner, knowing she can't help and would just be in the way.
The Manager changes tacts suddenly pulling back it's mechanical arms and spewing out electrified tendrils that lash at the defenders, even through shields and on impact with weaponry the whip sends powerful electric currents into the defenders and they are **** to retreat unable to defend against these attacks. Yulia retreats with them still doing their best to defend her as she desperately fires off Blizzard, the inside of the store beginning to freeze though this seems to have little effect on the Manager, once the pelting hail comes in it does seem to slow it letting them get away from the painful onslaught of electric whips.
This allows Yulia to be a bit more direct with her attacks as well and she hits him with a fireball and icicle that unfortunately seem to do nearly nothing, her **** lance hits hard though and cracks one of the screens quite badly and makes it swing dangerously back and forth on the track. Lri during all this has taken the Fishbowl of Illusion with a slight grimace of distaste and Blood drinker. She left an illusion of herself behind and gone invisible climbing the shelves to get up to the ceiling and try to mess with the tracks. The Manager seems to recover for the most part from the pelting hail, using it's mechanical arms to protect itself as it begins the onslaught again. The whips come hard and fast and Cherchiel and Isalia are barely able to hold them back, each impact against their shields sending pain lancing through them, both breathing heavily trying to stay upright as their bodies are twitching from the multiple shocks they've received. Lemiel strikes at the source trying to relieve the others and flies up at it stabbing her magic blade into it, the blade pierces into it's body and definitely does some damage, however it responds immediately with a stun shot directly to Lemiel's face. She screams and begins to fall back, but is caught by some of it's arms, which hold her in the air as it moves away from the others, dragging the captured Lemiel with it, it's lashers turning now on her, whipping her stunned body making her twitch as each lash seems to also tear away at the fabric and armor of her uniform, slowly stripping her even as each lash elicits a scream from her stunned, but still awake self. Yulia downs a mana potion and tries to send a **** lance at it to try and get it to let go, it dodges onto a different track, which suddenly comes loose thanks to Lri's work. The manager falls, but surprisingly it catches itself on it's mechanical arms, holding itself up like a spider now. It dropped Lemiel though who is lying on the ground, stunned and in pain. A loud whirring sound fills the air as many tiny robot drones zoom out from doors to the back of the store. They immediately go for the illusion Lri at first, seeing her as a target alone and **** to obviously no effect which lets Yulia hit the Manager with another **** Lance. This makes it stagger back on it's multiple arms, shattering another of it's screens and it responds by suddenly turning off the lights in the store.
The area is plunged into darkness, Yulia fireballs a rack of towels to create light, but as the fire ignites temporarily lighting up the store, a gentle hiss starts before the stores sprinkler systems turn on. The fire is quickly put out plunging the place back into darkness and now the cold water from the sprinklers is drenching the group. "This is bad!" Yulia yells.
"Goma got this!" Goma yells and attempts to use puppet on the Manager, she didn't need to see him necessarily to target him, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work and worse, it seems to make him identify her as a threat. Goma feels the hand grab her by the neck before she sees the Manager looming above her. She's lifted and then slapped with one of the electric whips, now sparking wildly as the sprinkler water hits them. Goma screams as the electricity hits her, being amplified by her wet body. She passes out and is tossed away. The drones have realized that the illusion of Lri is just that and begin searching around for new targets. Yulia is still faintly glowing from God's Light, but it only barely illuminates what's around her. She wishes she knew any kind of spell or had any kind of item that could create light that wasn't fire. She freezes as she hears the sound of sparking electricity behind her and turns firing off a **** Lance just as the Manager attacks, the **** lance hits and knocks it back and even topples it off of it's arms, crashing it against the ground, the sound is extremely loud and Yulia almost feels like cheering before she feels something touch her back and then a screech tears itself from her throat as the drone sends a stun burst into her dropping her to her knees. Isalia and Cherchiel run to Yulia's side as the Manager manages to get back up, it looks pretty worse for wear even as little as they can see it. Sparks illuminate it every few seconds springing from the shattered screens and tears in it's form. Cherchiel smashes the drone that hit Yulia with her shield and the Manager raises up, sending out it's whips again as more of the drones close in.
Cherchiel never stood a chance, but Isalia is invisible in the darkness and she manages to dodge the electric whips as she smashes through the drones making her way to the manager, she's not sure what she can do to it though.
Meanwhile Maple is still crouched and whimpering, knowing that they're losing when she feels an arm on her shoulder, "you... I need you to get the doors open, we don't stand a chance here, but we might still be able to escape, it's imperative that at least Yulia gets out," Lri says to her. Maple blinks and then shakes her head.
"I ca-" she's cut off as Lri slaps her.
"You can and you will. Do it!" she yells and then leaves, Maple clutching her cheek.
Lri joins Isalia, the two are invisible, but Lri's only invisible as long as she doesn't attack, however through hit and run tactics, illusions and constant reuse of the Veil she manages to stay pretty undetectable as the two of them continue an unfortunately fruitless **** on the Manager. Nothing they can do to it hurts it and it's only a matter of time before it manages to catch them.
Maple has moved to the doors, she's panicking, worried any second a drone will spot her and attack, but they're pretty distracted. She finds a control box, a manual override, it's not been touched in a while, she recognizes the symbol of Kel's brand on it and realizes he must have put a manual override for the store just in case something went wrong. He probably didn't expect the something going wrong to be this, but still it's helpful. With some work she's filled with pride as she hears the shutters open, this also has the effect of filtering some light in through the windows. Unfortunately for Isalia, it's enough light to render her visible.
Isalia screams as the Manager catches her, wrapping her in shocking tendrils. Her body thrashing in the creatures grip as it shocks her repeatedly, she can feel her heart beating fast as each shock runs through her, she's worried she's going to die and in fact she might be about to except she's suddenly dropped. Her body mostly naked where the whip destroyed her armor falls to the ground. Lri looks to Isalia on the ground and then to Yulia and finally Maple by the now opened doors, "I'm sorry Isalia," she says and abandons her to go grab Yulia. With Yulia and Maple she flees the store, leaving the rest behind.
Isalia breathing heavily is lifted by the creatures mechanical arms and the sprinklers turn off, the lights coming back on. Drones moving around Lemiel, Cherchiel and Goma to make sure they don't get back up. The rest of Isalia's armor is torn from her as she is unable to even struggle. Once she's fully naked the Manager forces her legs open and she let's out a gasp of surprise, desperately, but weakly kicking her legs before a large tentacle with a bulbous end emerges from the manager. She screams as it pushes against her entrance and then forces it's way inside of her. Her teeth grit together tightly as it stretches her open painfully. It pushes the bulbous end all the way inside of her until it's pressed against her cervix at which point tinier mechanical arms emerge from the tentacle and surgically **** open her cervix making her scream loudly in pain before the bulbous end of the tentacle pushes into her womb and the bulb detaches resting inside her womb. She can feel it pulsing gently inside of her, her breathing quick and fearful, unaware of what this thing inside of her is. The tentacle than pulls out of her and suddenly she's shot in the face with a slimy substance, it tingles where it touches and she starts to panic as she realizes what it is, the manager begins to coat her with more of it as she tries to struggle, but her thoughts are disappeared, her senses going as well as she's covered until everything goes blank. She's placed down, coated fully in stasis gel.The Manager then moves over to Lemiel and repeats the process. When the orb is left inside of her she begins to panic, "I... I can't... I can't hear them... What have you done!" she screams before getting a face full of the gel and is soon coated as well. Cherchiel is next and then finally it moves to Goma, but it stops and places a mechanical arm on her stomach, palpitating it gently and then pulls back, seemingly uncertain about something.
"A mechanized, but still clearly female voice speaks, "don't worry, I'll take this one. Send the rest to the prisons," the voice says.
"Yes, Administrator," flashes on the single non-broken beyond use screen.
Yulia awakens, her body sore from the stun, but otherwise unharmed. They are on the train in the Mercantile Terminal. Lri is sitting on the floor, her knees pulled up to her chest and looking wretched. Maple is sitting on one of the seats clearly deep in thought and Yulia finds she was laid on a pair of seats. She sits up and looks around, "what happened, where is everyone else?" she asks.
Lri clutches her knees, her claws digging in, "I left them behind... I couldn't save everyone, so I chose to save you, you're the Chosen, the most important. It was the right choice," she says though she sounds like she's trying to convince herself more than anyone.
"The good news is Sally won't kill them. They'll probably be in the prison with the rest of my people, we can still save them!" Maple cuts in and Yulia nods.
"Yeah we'll save them. I mean last time I managed to rescue everyone else all by myself and this time it's me and you Lri, we can get them back," she says and Lri weakly nods, clearly not as optimistic about this.
