Armorhide arrives at the military convoy staging area as engines idle beneath a gray sky. Crates and armored vehicles form a defensive line, while blue energy pulses through her construct frame.
Nearby, Aia1, a muscular young-adult android with a slim torso and oversized armored chest, stands beside a radio mast, optics scanning the ruined streets.
Aia1
Broadcasting on all emergency channels. This staging area is a safe zone. Trapped survivors, respond with your location and condition.
The Trapped Survivor
Please, anyone receiving this, we are inside the municipal storage building. The doors are failing. There are too many of them outside!
Pounding erupts through the transmission, followed by scattered gunfire. Beyond the convoy barricades, undead figures press from alleys and wrecked cars, their moans merging into one rising sound.
Aia1
Survivors confirmed nearby. The access route is narrowing rapidly. Convoy vehicles are ready, but movement will soon be restricted.
A gap between the staging area and the storage building shrinks beneath the advancing crowd. Soldiers turn toward Armorhide and the waiting vehicles, awaiting direction.

“Transform and rollout”
SUCCESS (Good Agility, rolled +1)
Blue energy folds Armorhide’s large construct frame inward. Armor plates lock into place as her body transforms into a military Hummer, engine growling beneath the gray sky.
Aia1
Armorhide is deploying. Clear the route.
Soldiers pull aside as the Hummer rolls from the staging area, tires crushing loose debris while the mounted M2 tracks the advancing undead.
Aia1
Convoy support is moving with you. Survivors remain inside the municipal storage building.
Armorhide surges through the narrowing street. The barricade gap opens before her, and the storage building’s battered doors come clearly into view beyond the scattered dead.
The Trapped Survivor
We hear an engine! Please, get us out of here!
“I order Aia1 to cover the survivors' exit after I side whip the Undead in Vehicle form”
SUCCESS (Good Agility, rolled -1)
Arana
Aia1, cover the survivors' exit.
Armorhide jerks the Hummer sideways across the street. Her armored flank sweeps through the pressing undead, knocking them away from the battered storage doors and clearing a passage.
Aia1
Understood. Exit corridor covered.
Aia1 pivots by the radio mast and lays controlled fire across the open route, forcing the remaining undead back while the storage doors burst outward.
The Trapped Survivor
Move, move! The way is clear!
Survivors spill from the building and sprint toward the convoy. Armorhide holds the gap beside them, but the impact leaves a deep dent along her side armor and strains the steering.
Aia1
All visible survivors are across. Armorhide's vehicle integrity remains operational, with localized damage.
