The robotics lab on Venus was lit like a Christmas tree. Random lights, possibly electrical sparks, shot out of the windows. "Miguel, do you think this is the right place?" asked Dr. Yana. "If it didn't say Lorinski's Robotics Engineering, I would have said no." Dr. Miguel and Dr. Yana were startled and a little unsettled by all the random lights. Dr. Miguel swallowed, and pushed open the two glass doors. The top floor was dark, it was close to closing time, but the two scientists showed themselves down stairs. The sound of metal cutting metal and the shrieking noise of a welding torch echoed through the hall. "Last minute changes?" asked Dr. Yana. "I bet he forgot." answered Dr. Miguel laughing. After walking into the room engulfed in the bright flashes, the two scientists found the man in charge. "Good evening, gentlemen. I have been waiting for the Tower representatives." The two men glanced at each other. Dr. Yana tilted his head towards Dr. Lorinski. With a cough, Dr. Miguel spoke. "Ah, yes. We are sorry for keeping you waiting. What is it, again, you wanted to show us?" Dr. Lorinski was confused. "Did the memo not send? I thought it sent. Well, it is a new model of Exo robots. Titan grade. They are designed to be sentry posts around the wall!" Dr. Lorinski pulled the cloth off of the robot laying on the table. "This is a theta model, this particular exo's serial number is 14." "Theta-14? Why 14?" asked Dr. Yana. Dr. Lorinski was concerned about this question. "This exo, Theta-14, has been slightly more cooperative." Dr. Lorinski looked to the robot. "Run algorithms alpha 81 mark 6!" Gears started to turn and the robot lurched forward. The robot sat up, it looked around, but stopped when it panned over Dr. Lorinski. "He is hooked up to the warmind, and the civilian census." Dr. Lorinski smiled at how smooth the presentation was going. Theta-14 looked at the two men, his camera eyes zoomed in. His metal eyebrows slanted as if he was on to them. Dr. Miguel looked to Dr. Yana with a worried look. After a second, he looked to Dr. Lorinski. "They are a success. Come on, let's talk business." Dr. Miguel motioned for the door. The other two followed. "If the Tower agrees, I have a warehouse constructing 14,000 of these!" said Dr. Lorinski proudly. Dr. Miguel and Dr. Lorinski walked up stairs, but Dr. Yana walked back into the lab. Theta-14 had already put himself back in sleep mode. Dr. Yana hooked his hologram tablet to the computer. He hacked every exo's main commands and planted a new code. Dr. Yana caught up with the other two. "So, the orders are placed. 14,000 titan grade exos headed for the City." said Dr. Lorinski. "Great! Thank you for your time." Dr. Miguel smiled then shook Dr. Lorinski's hand. After the two men left the office, Dr. Lorinski ran back down to his lab frantically! "What were you doing [i]Doctor[/i] Yana?!" Dr. Lorinski's computer showed that the shipment crates were loaded, even Theta-14 was automatically walking to a loading bay with other models. The ship at the lab, and the ships at the warehouse took off. At this point, Dr. Lorinski found the problem! Every exo was programmed to attack the Tower! "Commander Zavala! Keep an eye for any Lorinski Robotics Engineering ships! Shoot them down on sight!" shouted Dr. Lorinski. "Doctor! That is your own work is it not?!" asked Commander Zavala. "Yes d*** it! They have been sabotaged, so, shoot them down!" "We're on it! In fact two are inbound!" Dr. Lorinski ended the transmission, grabbed a rocket launcher, and ran outside! The ship hadn't left the atmosphere yet! Dr. Lorinski locked on with his rocket launcher and fired! The ship crashed in the jungles of Venus, never to be found again. Theta-14 was the only exo to survive the crash. Dr. Lorinski had sent a program that wiped every exo's memory. Theta-14 had no idea where he was or where to go. The robot walked through the jungles. His battery dropped to 15%, he began to go to sleep mode again. But safety at last! A pack of blade dancers surrounded him, but took him in to charge.
