Log 29: Breakout

"It begins now.." said Baxter, eyeing the security camera, "The grace period starts now! Do what you need to do Andrew."

"Hey... I need some help here!" said Andrew, calling for one of the robots to assist him, "My friend's at the brink of death!"

Jameson was on the floor, covering the "wound" that was left on his body.

"You don't want to let Nishojo know that you let someone die on the job, do you?" glared Andrew, warning the robot about his tasks.

For a robot, completing a task means everything to them. If they failed, it would mean certain consequences. The robot went over to the jail cell and peered at Jameson, trying to determine if the wound was real or not.

However, Andrew immediately grabbed the robot's head through the bars, crashing it right into the jail cells and breaking it, using the force of gravity that Maurice had taught him. The robot was slammed repeatedly to the cell, and Andrew managed to nabbed the robot's finger to release them. The other guard robots soon noticed this and pointed their guns at Andrew, who planned on sacrificing some injuries in order to protect the others.

Thwack thwack!

"Hey!" yelled one of the robots, "What are you doing?"

Another robot was hitting all of the other guard robots, preventing them from shooting at Andrew. These hits weren't as violent as Andrew's and only served to knock out their functions temporarily. The others were confused about this as well.

"Sorry about this lads," said the robot as he finally took down the other two robots as well.

That voice was familiar.

"Maurice?" asked Andrew in shock.

"I don't plan on being some side character that gets killed off to fuel the motivation of another person," said Maurice as he lifted his hood and took off the robot disguise, his blood still leaking out of his body, "If soon, can someone treat my wounds?"

"Arya," said Andrew, "Get Maurice to the nearest hospital. Jameson, Baxter, and I will rush to the disassembly room to rescue Ichishojo and Jules."

"Will you guys be alright?" asked Arya in concern, "Maurice and I won't be able to accompany you to the radio station. His injuries are too great."

"They'll be fine," smiled Maurice as he collapsed to the floor, coughing up blood, "I taught Andrew all he needs in order to take them back. He doesn't need the help of a robot to take Nishojo down."

Arya quickly grabbed Maurice, slinging him over her shoulder and headed towards the back rooms to secretly get Maurice some medical attention. Jameson, Baxter, and Andrew knew what they had to do and secretly patrolled the government building, wearing robot disguises influenced by Maurice.

"This suit isn't comfy," mumbled Baxter, "My underwear is wedgied."

"It's not supposed to be comfy," mumbled Andrew, "Just deal with it."

The trio quickly looked over the map and headed directly towards the disassembly room, where Ichishojo and Jules were to be taken apart. There, they posed as robots who were in on working on the disassembly.

"Identification?" asked the robot at the entrance.

Jameson held up his finger, which was covered in robot finger scraps, as well as their identification biometrics, which were used not only to unlock things, but to give robots their own identities.

"It says here that you're supposed to be on guard for the prison cells," stated the robot.

"Transferral change," made up Jameson, "Direct orders from Nishojo. Did you not receive the memo?"

"The memo?" asked the robot confused, but wouldn't dare go against Nishojo's orders, "Why yes.. I have received it. Just now! You may pass!"

Jameson winked at the other two before they all entered the disassembly room, seeking out where Jules and Ichishojo were. Soon, Jameson found them, waiting in line to be disassembled next to some other robots. Would it have been a wise choice to seek them out now? Andrew and Jameson began to think until—

Swoosh!

Jameson and Andrew turned to find Baxter, shooting flames out of his gloves.

"Finally!" yelled Baxter in triumph, "My weapons!"

Jameson and Andrew warned Baxter, but he wasn't listening. He was already testing it off to see if it worked, accidentally melting the face off of a robot beside him. They were instantly found out, and Jameson and Andrew rushed over to get Ichishojo and Jules out of the disassembly room while Baxter had kept the robots busy, using his flamethrower gloves to fire them away.

"Nishojo is heading for the radio station right?" asked Ichishojo as she was let down from the disassembly line.

"We think so," replied Jameson, "She's probably going to broadcast her Total Control over the whole city if we don't stop her!"

"Alright," said Jules, "There's a fast way of getting there, but I doubt you guys would like it. Fend off these robots and let's head to the roof of the government building!"
