Doing the Unexpected
The Black Void - Episode 1244
|
"We're certainly doomed if we stay here," you say. "We're going to have to
try to dodge past the robot outside and make a run for it."
"But your knee..." Rita objects. "Or in my case a hobble for it," you acknowledge. "Actually, you did a pretty good job on my knee, so there's a chance that I can still manage to outrun the robot. It doesn't look to be built for speed." "Which way should we go?" Rita asks. Before you can answer, to suggest that any one of the three remaining ways that neither of you has yet tried is as good as any other, there is a loud crash as most of the wall at the far end of the ladies' room collapses. Through the hole, and the slowly settling dust, you can dimly make out some sort of automated demolition vehicle, with hammer and cutter attachments. You suddenly have an idea, though it's possibly a crazy one. There's a chance that the robo-vehicle has only been programmed for demolition and not for the apprehension of fugitives, unlike the robot waiting outside the door. And with luck this might represent a shorter route to the outside of the building. "Come on!" you say, running towards the hole in the wall, and getting yourself liberally coated in dust in the process.
