Also, I've decided to continue tracking changes to ref. sheets since I'm the only person with the master copies. I won't be making rulings on changes, just tracking those changes that occur. Should I remove Roboman and LALA's ref. sheets? I get the feeling we won't be needing them anymore)
**The EMP Gun immediately ups Jericho's load to Medium.
Tom makes sure he has his gasmask on, and exits the lift.
The doors opened to a walkway surrounding a circular central platform, about a meter up from where they entered, with stairs leading up to the central area. Above the walkway was a second walkway on the second level. The opposing wall consisted of two huge windows, though upon closer inspection these weren't windows, but monitors processing the visual input from Mecha Menace's eyes.
The walls were lined with computers with various blinking lights and the central area featured several terminals and pilot seats, currently unoccupied.
In fact, the only person in the room was a red-haired woman, tall and slender, wearing skin-tight red leather and stiletto heeled boots. In the otherwise gloomy atmosphere with silver gray metals dominating, she stood out like a light-beacon in the night.
Besides the woman, there were at least a dozen or so Mini-Menace's, two of which appeared to be piloting Mecha Menace. The others immediately turned to the team as they entered. On the left of the central platform, L.A.L.A.'s body had been secured to a table. She did not appear to be operational.
"Blast!" the woman cursed as the team kicked in the door. "You will not stop the revolution! Take care of them my pets!"
Atlas will pump himself with the morphine (it temporarily increases his max. HP by 1) and wait for Jericho to act first. He is hoping Jericho will soften the bots up a bit before going in himself. When he does finally get out there, he'll focus on charging the nearest bot, grabbing it, and use it to hammer the rest.
Remember, he has a 1d3 chance to "tough out" damage directed at him.

Jericho sent out a huge blast of fire, burning five of the mini menace's in the process, though his flames weren't hot enough to kill them outright. The EMP gun on the other hand was quite effective and Jericho started taking out Mini menaces left and right, one shotting them like there was no tomorrow. Within moments, a third of the mini menaces were taken out of the picture.
Tom meanwhile rushed towards the woman, shooting up into the sky and feeding her a foot-sandwich, knocking the woman back at least thirty feet and into the screen which now had a huge crack in it due to the force of the blow.
When Atlas joined the fray after adding Morphine, he immediately grabbed onto one of the robots, lifting it high up in the air and swinging it around like a club, slamming into the other mini menaces. Combined with the damage of Jericho's fire, Atlas took out three mini menaces, including the one he was using as a makeshift club!
But it wasn't all success - the leftover menaces opened fire and though Atlas was able to tough out most of the damage (1 damage), Jericho and Tom both took some several hits (3 damage each!).
The woman in red quickly got up after being slammed into the viewscreen. "Activate self-destuct sequence!" she ordered "Two minute count-down!" Immediately the screens changed to a two minute clock counting down.
Seeing she would have to do more than that, the woman grabbed a whip from her side, the thin wire running some three meters from the hand piece and glowing brightly - whatever the whip was made of, it was glowing red hot and it would obviously be dangerous. She readied for an attack, aiming to slash at anyone before they could reach her for hand to hand combat.
OOC:
Current situation: woman in red near the left view screen, two mini menaces piloting mecha menace, three in combat with Atlas, another three in various dispersed positions firing at the team.
"Cancel the self-destruct or I'll break you!" he will yell.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling she won't go down that easily. Maybe Tom should help out? Let Jericho finish off the menaces.
ATLAS STATUS: -1 HP out of 9 HP (temp.)

(( Yeah - Tom is more exposed as he has to cross the distance to the woman in red. Since she is now no longer in the center of the room however, he can get to a better position and attack with Atlas? ))
Tom will indeed attack with Atlas.
The EMP gun was even more effective, as Jericho happily blasted away at the remaining robots. Taking down the remaining four, that just left the one crawling out from under the tosser that Atlas had used as a javelin. Unfortunately, the weapon was now out of juice, though having served its purpose, it probably wasn't so bad.
Tom rushed towards the woman like Atlas, though being faster and closer reached her first. As he approached the whip slashed towards him at the speed of sound, but this was just one shot, not many from all directions, and Tom dove under the red hot wire like the expert acrobat he was.
Landing before the woman, his fist rammed itself into the woman's chest, sending her flying once more, though being only a meter or so from the view screen slamming her into it hard once again.
Before Tom could attack again, the big Atlas arrived, grabbing the woman and he was just about to start torturing her, not a very heroic thing to do at all, when he was interrupted by the timer suddenly speeding up.
"Guys, this is the Mechanic." they heard over the intercom "It appears there was a special fail-safe when trying to disable the self-destruct sequence. I disconnected it's link to the main reactor, so the city will be safe but there are explosives on the bridge itself and I cannot stop them. You have about ten seconds to grab what you must and get out of there!"

With various battle cries, the team jumped out the window - just in time as a huge explosion followed behind them, the entire command centre going up in a giant ball of fire, leaving Mecha Menace without a head!
Unfortunately, out the window also meant the team was quickly grappled by gravity, beginning an inevitable descent towards the earth at ever increasing speed!
(( Protip: You're super hero's. Don't worry, but do take action ^_^ ))
What happened to crazy whip lady? She get tossed?
(And Drem won't be back until next week, so I'll chime in and say Jericho tries to grab something as well)
As the team came down, a hail of glass and metal parts rained down from above, the annoying but not dangerous remains of Mecha Menace's head. Before them lay the crazy whip lady who had managed to break her fall by using her face and a nearby police car to catch herself - badly wounded, she was being carried off by local security (and a few medics).
When the hail stopped, a strange sound arose, coming closer and growing louder quickly. For a moment the team feared more robots, but it soon turned out to be something quite different entirely. A crowd of people, including many police, were cheering for the independent hero's who had saved the city from certain doom!
