Roz climbed down the building, and as the airships flew over the factory to check the other side of the world, she ducked and found a spot to hide. 

Once she figured it was safe, she stepped out again, she exhaled softly. As Roz began to walk as if she were a used Unit, she held a box of carrots so she didn't seem suspicious roaming around alone. She looked at some of the windows to distressed parents, distressed kids, and even pets. 

Roz felt even more heartbroken by this, so she walked further on to a nearby city hospital. She saw a drone, and snatched the item from it. It was a pack of medicine. She nodded to herself and walked inside the building, trying not to seem unusual, she casually marched to the center of the desk, putting down the pack of medicine. 

Roz wanted to ask this question so badly, but taking attention to such troubles might be a bit conspicuous (I'm not sure how to spell it, but there's no red lines so its prob fine.).

"Hello, here is the medicine delivery." She said, because the receptionist wasn't paying attention.

She looked up from the desk, her eyes were droopy and tired. Roz knew the amount of smoke being formed is distressing and sickening others, these hospitals must be nonstop busy to take care of residents. 

"Oh! Thank you, sorry- I wasn't paying attention. Go along." She fluttered her hand to signal the robot to leave.

"Will do." Roz turned around and strutted outside, she thought for a moment. She noticed a distressed ROZZUM unit being tackled by a few raccoons, and she sprinted over. "Shoo. Shoo, now." In the animal voice, the raccoons were shocked, so they ran off. 

Roz held out her hand to the fellow unit beneath her, as she grabbed Roz's hand, lifting herself up. "Thank you."

"No problem."

"What was that sound you made? It sounded like the raccoons."

"Probably just the raccoons."

The unit shrugged, and continued to march along like nothing ever happened. Roz sighed, but she did have an idea. She walked to every unit that wasn't busy to come and assist her. Some didn't follow, however. A few of them did. 

She would need more than 12 units to shut down the factory, so she went further into the city to gather more. Soon enough, Roz had over 30 units following her around, she took the alleyways so others wouldn't notice the army of ROZZUM units behind her.
