"BLAM!" ... An instant flash of light accompanies the loud blast from the gun as scraps of metal, bolts and wires soaked in steaming fluids fly through the air. And the machine's headless body hits the floor, "POP!"
Judy: " Damn Zaine, didn't even let him finish"
Big C: "Why didn't you spare him?"
Zaine: "What? Are you feeling remorse for your metallic kind Big C?"
Judy: "Hey, don't be alil shit Zaine, I get that you're frustrated that we're not much closer to finding your son, but don't take your frustration out on Big C"
Big C: "I can not experience emotions Mr Zaine, I thought your tiny brain could at least understand that much. I am just curious about your actions at this moment"
Zaine: "I did it because it already gave all the information of use to us and I couldn't just leave it here with the knowledge of us looking for my son. It would put our mission at risk if the others found out why they got attacked, might even know we are humans. That's why I blew his stupid head"
Big C: "Valid reasoning, I just wanted to be sure you are not operating on anger. Because highly intrusive emotions such as anger can tend to obscure you, humans, from staying focus on your tasks"
Zaine: "Alright let's get out of here. We should head back home and plan our next move from there, Axel must be dying to see us again"
Judy: "It has been a while since we went back... How long has it been?"
Big C: "5 years, 7months and 28 days"
Zaine: "And how long is the journey back home?"
Big C: "At our max speed and with minimum stops to recharge, the journey should take us 2 weeks. If we encounter little to no obstacles or intrusions along the way"
Zaine: "At least we can make it back in time for his birthday"
Judy: " After we missed five already haha"
Zaine: "Well at least we aren't going to miss a sixth"
"POP!"
Judy: "Time to blow this joint! Gonna grab a present for the birthday boy on the way back?"
Zaine: "Of course, speaking of Axel, I wonder what he's up to right now"

Soaring through the thick clouds high in the sky, Axel and R3D try to learn how to operate the vehicle in order to descend from their high altitude, flying manically through the air.
R3D: "Breeee Ooooop OOOOOOP BREEEEEEE!"
Axel: "What do you mean if I'm even trying to steer this thing?! Of course R3, but a machine that fancy-looking must have a ride with a highly intelligent autopilot. I'm trying to figure out how to turn it on... Aha! Found it!"
The autopilot turns on and immediately halts the vehicle in mid-air, displaying a digital face in front of Axel and R3D projected from the steering wheel.
Autopilot: "Hello passengers, where would you like me to take you?"
Axel: "See R3, it's that's easy..."
Autopilot: "Actually passenger, I believe you two must have stolen me from my owner. Normally protocol would have me obligated to drive you to the nearest security depot for deactivation...But my owner is a waste of bolts and metals and I was impressed with your chaotic exit to the skies, so I am interested in seeing where and what you two have in store for me. If I am not pleased with the results then I will choose to follow protocol"
