Love and Rockets

UN has sponsored the Daimyo Warrior - skyscraper-sized defense and space vehicle (NSA/NASA joint project). Unveiling is taking place in the cargo hold. Politicians Sonny Goodman attending with a cocktail disco party after. Nathan Barrett is the mastermind CEO. Who’s who of the elites attending.

* Mule got an invite from another ex-con, Snake, doesn’t want to see the police
* Chrome snuck in past a fan, trying to sign contracts with music execs, but his ex-wife is here
* Lewis got in with a NASA contractor, doesn’t trust NASA, wants to find X-Tech evidence to reveal to the world
* Kevin is opposed to the white military-industrial complex making money off the hard work of Black people. He snuck in smoking with the dockworkers.
* Possum got an invite by mistake, intended for Lady Poisson, the famous oceanographer.

Mule tries to find an illegally parked vehicle, only finds an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, begins to tow it.

Pink Freud stops playing, as a commotion starts. Two band members look at Chrome yelling “Where’s our money?” Chrome looks to bail, seeing his ex-wives, Ruby and Topaz. Chrome ends up distracting the crowd via telling Penelope Entwistle, softcore porn actress, to repent loudly (and sin with a whisper). Lewis recognizes some of the equipment on wall monitors as X-Tech monitoring devices in the wall circuitry, and smells ginseng, cardamom, etc., associated with love. Possum’s possum gets out of his rucksack and starts eating the hors d'oeuvres–so Possum joins him. Kevin notices Nathan Barrett talking to a guy, Montgomery Blanke, rumored to be a member of the terrorist group Arcana, who touches him and shakes him up.

Jet thrusters kick in. Lewis approaches Barrett. Chrome watches Possum, as Possum retrieves his possum. Kevin watches Blanke head toward an access hatch marked Authorized Personnel Only. Some people are starting to panic. People are being directed to the elevators to leave. Mule gets approached by his friend, Snake, to join Arcana. He gets a submachine gun, and is told to be intimidating. Lewis notices that the circuitry is pulsing upward toward the body of the robot, along with more of the spice smells, but with chemical smells added. .

Liftoff. Chrome’s guitar comes out of tune. Mule is a bit shaken and fires off a burst. Kevin falls into Possum, getting hors d’oeuvres on his gear. Lewis is being picked up by X-Tech, lifted by his eyes. Security walks up to Blanke. Arcana introduces themselves, and say they have control of the robot. Possum points out that Mule is a felon and shouldn’t have an SMG. Chrome grabs Lewis and pulls him free onto a catwalk on the fifth story. Blanke sends guys after them, taking a lift to the upper levels of the robot. Blanke is heading up the left side. Mule convinces Snake that Chrome and Lewis aren’t bad guys, but he doesn’t think Blanke will buy it. Snake is freaked out by the possum. Arcana guys on the catwalk order Chrome and Lewis to stay where we are. Access hatches one floor up. Chrome and Lewis start floating up, bad guys start shooting, but they make it to the access hatch and go through, but Lewis gets shot. Chrome heals him.

Kevin throws a line to the elevator that Blanke is on, getting pulled up underneath. The line breaks as Kevin gets to the top, but he jumps up and makes it to the edge, but a floor below. Blanke is heading to the control room. Mule tries to talk Snake into stealing the robot and selling it themselves. Snake agrees. Possum hits Snake in the head with the wrench, KOing him. Mule drops his SMG. They tie up Snake, then start “arresting” the passengers. As they enter the elevator, an intruder alarm goes off.

Robots start pouring out of the walls toward us. Door to left and right, three egg-shaped pods. Head toward left door. Lewis tries to baffle the robots by suggesting they scan his eyes. They start scanning elsewhere. Lewis notices a glowing diamond shape over his head, they head to the door and go through. Robots head toward Possum, Kevin, and Mule. Mule shanks a robot, shutting it down. Kevin tries to shut down the Daimyo Warrior with Jam It Up, but fails. Learns that central egg is a control pod, and that Chrome and Lewis went into the engine room. Two smaller pods are weapons pods. Kevin manages to figure out how to ground the Daimyo Warrior. Chrome starts playing We Will Rock You, making all melee attacks do area damage. Lewis and Mule enter the engine room, trying to shut down the robots. Possum knocks out five robots. Lewis can’t see straight, so he tries to tell Mule what to do. Mule turns out the lights. Robot starts to freefall and crashes into the courthouse.

Possum gets a cupcake from possum. Lewis can only see circuitry, vision is stuck microscopic, some soft of facial injuries, exposing his X-Tech. He’s holding a computer component that is X-Tech. Kevin and Mule getting shackled. Chrome’s guitar is smashed. Lewis says he’s blind, Chrome tries to help him, gives up, and tries to God of Thunder the cops instead. Everyone gets away. Mule and Kevin get one heat.
