SU-01 had resumed his patrol duty. He wanted to stop by the security-related room of the factory : the Security Office. Maybe he could unlock some more cameras from here. When he opened the door, he saw a Glukkon he recognized to be the Boss assistant, sitting on a chair.

"Good day mister. I am here to do a checkup of the factory's security systems."

He scanned the room and found the main terminal. Some minutes later, after he tried to reboot a few cameras and detectors, SU-01 concluded there was nothing more to be done. So he just browsed the cameras around the factory.

"Seems like everything is normal...Sligs, mudokons, some more sligs, a dead Vikker and a knocked Slig... Hold on...What ?"

He zoomed as far as the camera lens allowed it. There was a Vikker corpse in the middle of a hall, in front of a closed door. On the wall facing the camera, he could clearly see a slig lying on the ground. He could also see right next to the Vikker, a Mudokon who had received the same kind of treatment.

"Isn't that the Vikker who asked me where Anni was ? He was also escorted by a slig...But what happened ? And where is she in the first place ?"

He switched between the cameras so fast that only a robot could follow up.

"Got you..."

He had spotted Anni's pink silhouette among some other he couldn't clearly identify.

"And where do you think you're going ?" he thought.

In the corridor where Anni and her rather odd "escort" was, the cold voice of the robot was heard :

"This is SU-01. You have been identified as potentials threats. Please stop right where you are and wait for me to arrive at your location. Failure to comply will result in activation of lethal defense systems and "shot-on-sight" rule of engagement. Do not attempt to escape. You are being watched."

With that he got out of the room. Before leaving, he added to the Glukkon :

"I don't know what your protocols are in such a situation, but we have three casualties on the ground floor. I will let you take care of it, I have an other crisis situation to deal with right now."

He then hovered as fast as he could toward the last known position of the "fugitives".
