"Nope, but I'm capable of reading them. And also writing.
Do you notice anything strange about those tanks?"
English
-
"No. Should I?" There was more background chatter coming from wherever Tesuto was
-
"How about the fact there are no doors?"
-
"Is it potentially A.I. Driven, you think?"
-
"And we can find out how to hack it."
-
"Perhaps. Do you know who we may be able to speak to for this hack?"
-
"Me. I know how machines of this calibre think. But we sill need a temporary shut off of comms to allow isolation of the target frequency."
-
"Very well." The comms cut off immediately after he said that, leaving radio silence
-
The person's armour catalogued the frequencies that just shut off, and subtracted them from the frequencies that were online when the tank stopped, and isolated the remaining frequency. "You can resume comms now."
-
"What is your conclusion?" The Samurai asked as the background chatter was silenced. Than, an energy rocket soared through the air and crashed against the shield of the tank The shield flickered, before firing off a round towards where the rocket had comm from. There was a loud explosion, and the comms were cut off.... [spoiler]-Investigate the explosion. - Make move against the tanks [/spoiler]
-
"Hacking it now." The person fired a data packet at the tank, first to investigate it's systems.
-
Strangely enough, nothing was uncovered. It was almost as if the entire tank was simply a blank AI with only one goal. To destroy.
-
That was good, he reasoned. The hack was all the easier. He then formulated a code that shut the tank down, but not before transmitting the same code to the other tanks.
-
The tank's weapon charged, and charged. Suddenly, instead of shutting down, it went up in a big fiery ball as it exploded outwards. Shrapnel and debris from the tank flew into buildings, and a fire roared from the now destroyed tank. "What..... was..... that?!" The Samurai could be heard Yelling over the comms, as static cut his voice it and out
-
"A self-destruction sequence. Good. Now we don't have to worry about it being reactivated."
-
A sudden scream came over the comms, and was heard throughout the streets, coming from the outskirts. [spoiler]-Check out the screaming -Work on hacking other tanks -Check on Tesuto [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]check on tesuto[/spoiler] "Do you know what that was?" The person zoomed in on the general area of the scream.
-
The comms were silent, save for a bit of static that came through every now and then. Presumably an effect of the tank round that had gone off near the Samurai. Wherever he was, it was either life threatening, or nothing at all. He'd still have to be found though
-
The person shimmered and faded out of sight. Surveying the area, he jumped down to where tesuto had been last, leaving only a few broken cobblestones as a mark of being there. He looked around, his armour scanning for tesuto.
-
Tesuto scans came from inside a nearby building, and the Samurai exited the doorway, the figure spotted several bleeding troops inside the room before the door close "Ah, you must be our tank destroyer." Was all the Samurai said before he stopped
-
"That is correct. "
-
"May you do me a favour? Our building was clearly destroyed." The Samurai said, gesturing to the building behind the man "Run a scan. Try to locate any survivors.

Edited by ookshmook: 4/25/2017 5:29:39 PM"Firstly, I'm going to neutrlise the other two tanks." He sent the signal tot he other two tanks.
-
Two explosions were heard as the tanks went up into pillars of smoke, seen from the position of the figure and Tesuto
-
"Done. I shall begin the scan." He cloaked and walked into the building, scanning for the men.
-
There were several life signs, coming from the basement area of the building
