A loud alarm started to yell, together with a female voice: "Fire. Fire. This is NOT a drill. This is NOT a drill. Fire. Fire." Kenta ran for her life to get herself dressed. She knew that if she could not get herself dressed soon, her friends would certainly get in trouble. After she finally put on the mask and calmed herself, she began to press buttons on the panel next to her to see what is going on. "You stupid Lee" she muttered, "what did you do?". She looked at the screen, before realizing what was happening. It was not a fire, it was not Lee, but someone who started a massacre.

The monitor in front of her showed dead bodies, riddled with bullet holes. When she changed her viewpoint, someone could be seen walking. She tried to adjust the camera, before realizing that they were army soldiers. Kenta almost started to vomit. "They are going to kill me too" it spooked in her mind. "And what about Lee? Did he manage to escape?" No time to think. She had to get out, fast. Luckely the airlock was nearby, but it would certainly raise suspicion and certainly raise an alarm. Other plan. The robot... Lets create a distraction. Kenta pressed a couple of buttons, and 2 joysticks protruded out of the wall. "Hope it works" she said to herself.

The little robot came to life. Designed to mimic human behavior and outfitted with an advanced AI, the robot was capable of doing things that were considered too dangerous for humans. She steered the robot around the lab and out in the hallway. "Come on... Come on..." Kenta did not want to waste any time. Suddenly one of the soldiers came around a corner, weapon drawn at the robot. "Shit", Kenta said. She quickly turned on the AI-part of the robot. "Hello Sir, can I help you with something?" The masked soldier lowered his gun, and said "false alarm, its just a robot" to someone who was out of the robot's view. "Keep looking. There are still some people that haven't been accounted for. Also, check out the west lab. The scanner picked up a heat signature over there." The masked man walked away. "Can I help you with something?" said the robot to the masked man, who pushed him aside. When the masked soldier came to the west lab, he noticed the two joysticks protruding out of the wall. Kenta had disappeared.
