[Shutting everything down isn't quite so simple. There's no single plug Takane can pull within the system. Instead, each unit has to be disabled individually...and so, for every one 'bot that's boot-up screen suddenly dies, there are two more still slowly coming to life.
Nor is the advanced model X-23 swipes at so easily taken down. It's built for maneuverability, and as she swings for it there's a burst of speed as the hover-pads built in along its feet throw it to one side, around the blow. Then it's darting in, one of its spears thrusting for Laura's gut as the other slashes for her throat.
The other units waking up seem to figure it has her handled for the time being, too, because they're going for the other nearest life signs - Kanji's and Takane's. Marching for the door, a pair of droids quite like the first stride through. They'll meet Kanji blast for blast, firing the same type of concussive bolts the team's already dealt with.]
