What happened?!
Looking around, I see that I am in the claw of a machine. I look down to see corpses of other robots. It was like a giant claw machine. My leg had been crushed. Would humans call this an inverted knee? Probably.
OBJEKTIVE: GET OUT
IMMIDEATLY.The claw brought me to a huge conveyor belt. It dropped me on there like it didn't have a care in the world. I immideatly try to get up, but my leg was broken. If I can't walk, I'll crawl. I crawled past robot corpses, looking at me with nothing in their eyes. Some were dead, some accepted their fate. But noone tried escaping like me. I saw where the conveyor was taking us. A giant, fiery pit. I crawled the opposite way and was looking for a way out. I stepped on something. A steel rod. Steel is strong. I took it and went to the edge, where the conveyor belt touched the wall.
I held up the rod.
I concentrated on my target...
Y0U'V3 D0N3 ŤH12
B3F0R3.A silent video played in my head. It was in first person.
They were holding up a steel rod.
Concentrated on the target.
And stabbed the target.
...
...
The target was a soldier.
A human one.And I was the guilty one.
I snapped back and jammed the rod in the belt.
Smoke.
A lot of smoke. I must've hit a vital part because it stopped moving.
I laid down and pretended to be shut down.
I heard footsteps.
Voices.
"The fuck happened here?"
"I don't know! Maybe one of those....creatures did this."
"C'mon, let's tell boss."
They left. Through a big metal door.
A few seconds later I crawled to the door and looked up at the handle. I reached up and barely opened the door. I carefully looked through. I saw a giant hall full of metal. No windows. Artificial lighting. A replica of something natural. Like me.
I looked to my right and saw a type of vent. I quickly crawled to it and tried to open it. I balled my hand to a fist, about to punch it.
Click
I hit a button on my hand, turning my pointer finger into a screwdriver.
Well this is better than the alternative.
I open it with my newly discovered power and crawl inside. There was a right and a left. I went to the left. I heard humans talking and crawled backwards.
Welp, only option left is right.As I crawled through the vent, I heard sounds of a unfamiliar lifeform.
MATCHES:
SOLID OBJECTS BEING HIT ON ONE ANOTHER:
34% MATCH, UNLIKELYA TYPE OF MONKEY: 70% MATCH, LIKELY
KOOKABURRA: 99% MATCH, CONFIRMED
A kookaburra? What's that? I peered through the vents.
I saw...
Green
Lots and lots of green. And on a piece of brown in the green sat a small... bird? That's a kookaburra? Have I ever seen a bird...
Y0U H4V3.
A picture of a dead bird on a white background popped into my memory.
You're right, I have. I opened the vents and fell outside. On the green, tear shaped things.
The kookaburra flew away.
But why?
Do they not like me as much as I do?
As I looked at the green things, a word popped into my mind.
Leaf.
That's a leaf? I've never seen one before. I wanted to crawl onto the brown thing the bird was sitting on, but fell.
Down.
Down.
Down.
And gone. Again.
GOODNIGHT
