Maxwell easily lands a swipe with her stun blade, but if the mechanical woman is wounded by it, she doesn't show any sign.
Maxwell does her best to fend off the ditz's powerful blows, jabbing at the frenzied robot with her stun blade whenever she gets an opening -- but is dismayed to find the electrical discharges have no apparent effect! What's more, that momentary distraction is enough of an opportunity for the ditzy robot to land a solid blow on Maxwell's side, and with a sickening crunch the young woman is sent flying off to the side, skidding across the dirt! She winces and clutches at her side, apparently unable to even get to her feet for the moment.
Should the ditz robot plan to follow up on her strike, however, she'll find her path suddenly blocked by another woman with short white hair, wearing a similar military uniform to Maxwell's, although with minimal sign of body armor. The woman sizes up the ditzy robot for a moment, and then tsks. "Oi oi, you beating up on my little sis here? Why don't ya pick on someone yer own size?" she says, giving the furious robot a cocky grin.
A mechanical voice speaks up from behind the robot, in response. "Now, now, we should at least give our opponent a chance to negotiate," the voice says, belonging to a rather sleek, if highly sophisticated-looking robot. "Perhaps she will be willing to speak to another robot."
"Bah... listen, XIU-13, these punks have already messed up quite a few of our troops... and I'm hankering for a good brawl." The woman smacks her fist into her hand, obviously ready to fight.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the park, CTC vertols start to set down, medics in white uniforms rushing to tend to the wounded soldiers from before, as well as any civilians that remain in the area. Additional troops, these apparently much more heavily armored with powered suits and heavy weapons, begin establishing a new perimeter, although if Ookalf and the robotic woman are still nearby, the soldiers will be watching them warily.
