Notek quickly caught wind of his companions’ unease, and responded to P1050 simply by standing to his feet. He glanced down at the semi-conscious project on the floor, and, true to form, hesitated. After all this work it would be a shame to leave him here, but the enemy was closing in fast, and Notek knew he wouldn’t be able to protect them all if there was a battle. Notek sighed resignedly, and knelt down, glancing back at the projects waiting patiently for him at the beginning of an exit tunnel.

Not without regrets, Notek extended his hands, hardened like stones, sharp like diamonds, and scuffed the project’s armor. At least now when they found him they wouldn’t think he had gone down without a fight, and maybe if he made the gouges deep enough they might be frightened enough to rethink their pursuit. Finished with his aesthetic wounding, he leaned in and whispered in the project’s ear.

“If they don’t get to you . . . if you manage to escape . . . leave these caves. Run, run as far as you can.”

With that, Notek turned and followed his bantering companions as they hurriedly jogged past the homogenous rock walls towards freedom.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Doctor Buzz Killington.

P1050 followed P1049 along their escape route. The route was well lit but, for the moment, unoccupied. 1050 assessed the probabilities of encountering hostile forces to be quite high, therefore it was unusual that they had yet to have their first skirmish. Another unfamiliar feeling stirred within her. She was uneasy, although once again she lacked the vocabulary to label what she was experiencing.

<P1050> Recommend passive scanners set to full spectrums. It's too quiet.

She dialed up her sensors to full sensitivity and immediately noticed that something was awry. She sent a brief alert to 1049 to make him aware of the situation. She turned her helm to look directly at Notek.

"Where is P1343?"

P1049 whipped around to face Notek.

"Wait, you what?!"

With a heavy sigh, he brushed past the two other projects and started off down the hall.

"I'm going back after him. You don't just leave people sit like that."

P1050 did an abrupt about face and followed P1049 without hesitation. She lifted up her arm cannon and checked its statistics. Backtracking increased the probability of a showdown by nearly 90%. She noted with disdain that only her autocannon was functioning. She knew they were up against much heavier arms than that, and while her armor was functioning, her shielding wasn't, and her former captors had tremendous weaponry resources on hand. They were in trouble, but P1049 was right. They couldn't leave hardware--no, a person--back there. P1343 was undoubtedly disoriented and vulnerable. It was wrong to leave him in that state, for he'd undoubtedly be euthanized if the Federation knew he had gained free will.

<P1050> Our autocannons are our only weapons currently online. If we encounter someone armed with a rifle, our chance of survival is less than 10%. I recommend taking an alternate route to reach P1343.

P1049 nodded.

<P1049> Agreed.

He turned back towards Notek.

"You know this facility better than either of us, can you recommend a better route without increasing travel time any more than a minute or so?"

(Your misspelling of skirmish as squirmish was making me feel squeamish. So I squandered my time and fixed it.
