Not a bad move Rotterex Faust.... Now, I'll rule that you have a rough
idea where this off-switch is, as you've seen people "operate" on Kalen.
Like other humanoids Kalen has a critical liquids pump in the central
torso region.

Rotterex makes a charge towards Kalen and grapples at the rogue Mostal,
who is waving Dwarf guns around in a most disconcerting manner.

Now, Kalen isn't trying to attack Rotterex, the robot seems entirely
focussed in the Wizard. So Rotterex can use his rat-like agility (5W, roll
16, rolled failure, bump to success) to try to get past Kalen's strength
and the effective armour (8W, roll 2, roll success, bump to critical).

Rotterex leaps at Kalen and tries to grasp at the hatch-clip which he
knows leads to Kalen's essential liquids pump. However Kalen shrugs off
the attempt, and Rotterex will soon be thrown from the robot's grasp.

That's a minor defeat for Kalen. In order to bring it to even a marginal
success you'll need to spend at least two Hero Points...
