One day, shortly after the skills were implemented, our team of 5-6 people was trying to deliver a noobot. Up until the lake turret everything went perfectly. But then a group of E-95 (3 or 4) suddenly appeared from the mist before us. Only then we made out a small human figure in armor running in front of the big blue robots - leading them directly to us. That human figure was Mirror, the leader of the society we, Irkens, were in war at that time.
We were completely taken aback - and of course we lost our only chance to shoot him - while he was running towards us, all the bots still shooting on him. Next moment it was already too late - he ran through our line, so now the bots started to attack us...
Some of us were killed instantly, by the bots, for some Mirror did the last shot. He was expert in that ominous art where the perfect timing decides everything. The PvP global messages that followed, announced our miserable defeat all over the AfterWorld!
Then there was one more message - a noobot delivered by Sergey "Mirror Fair" Ledenev..
That wasn't exactly the best day for Irken Invaders!
It was close to the end of Irken-NAP war. I was traveling alone through the Labyrinth of Death, avoiding local chat and hoping not to meet Mirror..

I met him down in the valley between the lake revivals. We both stopped for a moment, then Mirror turned around and ran to the group of bears - provider and 2 matures, took them with him and then ran towards me. At that time only the bear provider was enough to kill me..
The dance that followed was like short, furious whirr - both players jumping around, trying to leave the other one between him and the mobs. And then something happened, maybe Mirror pressed a wrong key, or was just unlucky and got several critical hits at once - but he stopped for a moment, healed up - thus giving me time to jump behind his back and then away leaving all 3 bears on him! And then he made one more mistake (maybe his HK broke?) - because the next moment he was killed by his own bears..
By the time he revived i was already far away..

remark: both stories took place in the time when mob AI in Afterworld was different. back then every mob attacked the target that hitted it last - and if the mob was not attacked by anyone - the closest (alive) human being.
