Warren, as it happened, was playing a video game on Maya -- not the most practical use for an intelligent robot, arguably, especially given that her interface gave her an extremely unfair advantage in two-player mode -- and paused the game. "What the hell ... why does it sound like someone's trying to break into the store?" he commented, and headed for the security camera monitors. Sure enough, it looked like someone was banging on the door to their place.

"Goddamnit. Maya, shut the game down -- I think we've got a problem," he called, snagging a bulky pistol and turning on lights as he made his way up.

Maya blinked happily, and shut her gaming systems down.

"Alright! I'm going to reboot myself for normal human function now, is that alright?"

"Yeah, reboot for normal and come on up," Warren called, and answered the door. "Prudence, do you have any idea what time it is?"

"I'm sorry to be here so late," Prudence said, rushing in and getting out of sight of the doorway. "But you have to hide me!"

Prudence sat quietly for her feet to be bandaged.

She was very upset still, but at least she felt safe here.

Warren started bandaging up Prudence's feet with help from Maya. "I'm guessing there wasn't time for shoes?" he commented.

"I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible," Prudence said. "Thank you, Warren."

"Don't mention it," Warren said dismissively. "You're just lucky I was here."
