As Roz marched along the forest with Brightbill cradled in her arms, the feeling of heavy wings pounded against her back. "Ma! They're back!" Cried Brightbill. Roz turned her head to look at the triangular aircraft hovering above her. She looked back down, left and right, but no matter where she ran, the aircraft would follow her. 

Roz had hoped that after her maker clarified she would be safe, to live her life as a wild robot peacefully. Had she lied to Roz? She began to think about this. Roz's circuitry whirred, her instincts wanting her to run. But she needed a strategy, So Roz thought it through. She let Brightbill distract the pilots, while she ran off. But she did eventually come back for Brightbill after the aircraft left to search for Roz. 

And while it did, it eventually found her. Roz did not camouflage, so she was left exposed. "Go on, Brightbill. I will be okay." Roz gave her son one last nuzzle, and then faced the aircraft, while she was not built for harm. She tried to defend herself by throwing tree-logs at the bottom of the aircraft to loosen its hover capabilities. But this did nothing. She backed up to avoid the log hitting her instead. The aircraft landed, and while it did. She took this chance to run off, however. Roz didn't get far.  

The RECO bots surrounded Roz, as she stumbled back. Looking at the 3 of them. She had openings to run through, but any attempt to run, she would be tackled to the ground. She worried about this. And she stayed there, still. Both her and the RECO bots didn't make a single move until Roz would decide to move. Eventually, she blinked, and took a leap into a barrel roll, avoiding the tackle of the RECO bots, as she tried to run away from them once again. Calling her friends for assistance. Yet nobody heard her cry for help, Roz looked behind her to face the RECO bots. She stared at them for a while. before crashing into a tree by accident. The RECO bots caught up to her, grabbing Roz by the arms.
