Yesterday, I logged out after locating the saboteur’s hideout. Today, I’m on my way to the saboteur’s office to scan my face into the system so the robots will stop attacking me.
I fight my way past some moderately difficult robots to reach the terminal and scan my image, but the system errors out and now I have to take a holotape to MAIA to reprogram the bots. I return to Watoga and am greeted by an elevator full of scorched.
After clearing that pack out, I enter the building, where I encounter several level 30 to 50 scorched. I don’t know if this area is supposed to be full of high-level enemies or if a higher-level player was in the building before me, but I got my ass kicked several times.
I did manage to take some of the scorched out, but I broke my sniper rifle and ran out of stimpaks. Rather than give up, I decided to try sneaking to MAIA by using my stealthboys. I did manage to get to her, but that just triggered another task to go on the roof to upload the virus.
Uploading the virus dispatched a bunch of level 30 robots I had to take out and with no stimpaks left I decided there was no point in trying to make my way back to the roof to give it a second try when they killed me. Instead, I respawned at my C.A.M.P. and then fast-traveled to the Wayward to restock some stimpaks before logging out.
Tomorrow, I’ll pick up whichever quest is closest to my new location. I imagine it will be awhile before I return to the cranberry bog to confront the robots again.
