Warnings: Language, canonical violence.
Teaser:
“Saving and preparing for a forced power down.”
Tony waited a moment, then went to look for equipment to put out the last pockets of fire. The lights flickered while he was still gearing up, and he searched the nearby tabletops to find a flashlight in case all the lights went off completely; at this hour, the large windows offered little illumination from the night sky outside.
One of the bots poked their arm up suddenly, startling him. “Are you hiding?” Tony asked, a little amused.
The bot’s arm drooped slightly and a soft bleep followed almost guiltily.
