Xe'ro rushed to the captain's headquarters. They run out of breath once they arrive.
"Xe'ro, is there a problem?" Faevana, the captain asked.
"Captain Faevana-" They took a minute to calm themselves down. "One of the humans configured one of our robots to travel at very fast speeds."
"Well this sure is a problem." Faevana contemplated the human's decisions. "This will cause a distraction, but this is an easy fix."
"That's... not all'
"What?"
"One of them also straddled a knife to its arm."
"Why would they-"
Their conversation was interrupted by someone screaming.
"Everyone get on something!" Jackie ran into HQ and jumped on a chair. A few seconds later, the robot with a knife crashed in the room at full speed. Xe'ro and Faevana managed to avoid the knife right before it smashed into the wall, completely destroying the robot.
After the dust has settled down, Xe'ro asked Jackie why she did it.
"I just felt bored." Jackie seemed to be embarrassed. "I wasn't doing anything so I decided to entertain myself."
Xe'ro just stared at her.
Fun Fact:
Timothy Wilson, a social psychologist at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville conducted a study. Undergraduates were placed in an empty room alone with their thoughts. When asked about the experience, about 50% of the subjects disliked the experience. Deciding to take it a step further, the test subjects may press a button that will shock themselves. Sixty-seven percent of men and 25% of women chose to inflict it on themselves, rather than be alone with their thoughts.
