The Black Void - Episode 403

You start to explain, but the woman isn't listening. "Thank God!" she says, grabbing you in a bearhug. "I'm so happy to find another human being here!"

"Huh?" you say, confused. The woman has long, curly blonde hair and green eyes. She seems to be a couple of years older than you.

"I...I was just in the mall, shopping for a new dress." the woman says. "Then after I used the restroom, when I stepped out, I was here in this strange factory. There were no other people here, just robots - they were building cars and TV's and all kinds of stuff. It's insane. My name is Rita, by the way - Rita Weatherbee."

"Alice McCormick, PI." you say, shaking her hand. "It seems we're in the same boat, Ms. Weatherbee."

"Please, call me Rita, dear." she says. "Well, now we just need to find a way out of here, right? Oh, goodness, your knee! Please let me look at it - I'm a nurse."

Luckily, Rita always carries medical supplies with her, including a cold compress. She bandages it around your knee and you re-equip your pants and tights. The two of you venture back outside...

...to face a massively built robot drone. "Please return to the restroom for your own protection." it drones annoyingly. "It is scheduled for demolition. Please return to the restroom for your protection and demolition."

"Are you crazy?!" you yell.

The robot raises its pincer claws menacingly. Rita gasps. You wonder if the Three Laws of Robotics were ever even invented in this crazy world or not.

  1. Pull your 9-mil Glock on the funky 'bot.
  2. Retreat into the restroom as ordered.
  3. Run!
