"Hahaha!" A mansized fox with nine tails cackles. There is no other word for it. All nine tails of hers weave around her and the moles run for their little lives. "FLEE FLEE!!"
Behind her, the bruiserbots hide. There is terrifying, and then there is whatever the fox is doing.
Apparently sending a fox to deal with a bunch of moles leads to interesting results. Normal foxes like to eat the things. It's not particularly surprising that Minsuh likes to do something similar. In this case with the order to herd them into the city, she's having some fun...
By terrifying them all into running.
That it's doing something similar to the bruiserbots isn't particularly concerning. She's got this all under control.
"MAGGOTS, I will rend your skin from your bones, crush the bones and then make your soul scream in agony!! Scream for me you little peons SCREAM!"
This is followed by the entire colony of moles running out of the caves. A good thousand dog sized moles at that. Minsuh continues to cackle maniacally as she chases them out, nipping at their heels the entire way.
The bruiserbots look at each-other as a sudden silence descends on the cave. One of them moves out and looks deeper into the cave. Then it shrugs to the rest. They all shrug as well, and start setting up the base.

The piece of Hero tech is interesting you think. It looks to be a restraining gun of some sort. You recognize the compacted rope inside it, and there is a propellant as well. It's not particularly complicated by your standards, but it is a Heroic device. There are certain tells that show it's been built as such. The way the ropes are coiled, the propellant, and the composition of the restraints.
This could easily restrain one of your bruiserbots for a time. Against anything less strong they would likely have to wiggle out, or be cut loose. The tensile strength of the rope is roughly a thousand pounds. All together it's a useful device, if not particularly your current style of things. You can likely study and adapt it to your needs with some work. (Requires 50 points)
That examination done, you start work on your other projects. You have to get the recharge station up and running for the new base, get another fabricator going, start up a new bit of hardware for your bruserbots, and do some repairs on Brilliance.
Brilliance is first. She's the most delicate, and probably the quickest project.
You have to pull off her wings though. It's not a pleasent thing to look at when you do so, since it looks her back has been flayed. There is no pain of course, and it's fairly easy project wise, but it still doesn't look right.
"Looks like your wing attachments are holding steady." You speak with her conversationally. "The connectors show some signs of strain, but it's nothing that would hinder your flight. I'm correcting it now."
"Thank you creator." Brilliance replies back simply.
"Got the feathers already fixed, so it's just going to be a matter of sealing you back up now." You step back and go for the welder. "Anything to report status wise? You aren't really suited for dealing with mutant moles, so you are likely bored."
"Nothing to report." The android states. "I listen. I do not get bored."
"If you say so." You start the welding process to seal up her back. "If you like, I can design other bodies for you. Your current one is a bit specialized."
"No thank you." There is some sort of emotion in there, but you can't interpret it. "I like flying."
You chuckle a bit. "Of course."

"A state of emergency has been declared over an infestation of unnaturally sized moles in the city. These creatures are highly territorial, and capable of burrowing through the concrete. Damage over the city is considered in the thousands, and is still accumulating. People are advised to watch their step while the city animal control works on exterminating the threat.
Animal rights activists are already starting to protest the treatment. Several have had to be treated after they got too close to the moles."
