Soft Reboot (Murder Drones Soft Reboot. Part 1)

Heartbeat - Eldritch Encounter

Doll was not having the best time, the red eyed and now both furious and terrified drone currently being whisked down various hallways by a entirely too long hand that had its foul grip locked around her leg. Thad still screaming slightly further ahead from her. All in all it wasn't exactly the best situation. The pair now being dragged through some of the rooms close to the abandoned cryo-chambers.

"DOLL HELP!! ITS THE GRIM FREEZER!!!" Thad yelled, again. The drone clearly too terrified to realize that Doll was not in a position to help him. Said workers both colliding with a wall as the hands gripping them dragged them along the floor to some far off destination. Both Doll and Thad complained loudly when that happened, Thad with a general noise of pain while Doll exclaimed some foul word in her other native language.

The pain continued as they were dragged down yet another hallway, Thad trying vainly to grab onto anything that could possibly counteract the pull force of whatever monster had them in its clutches.

The pair were violently pulled down a left turn. Passing through a set of see through curtains just as Doll had an idea. The girl struggling to reach and open her waist bag as Thad grunted in pain, his noise overshadowed by some loud clicking and the sound of heavy footsteps following them.

And just as she opened it, her hand reaching for one of her remaining crossbow bolts. She stopped sliding, Thad didn't. The green eyed drone disappearing behind another corner as Doll whipped her head around to see N at the back end of the corridor, holding a ninja star and striking a pose.

"N!?" Doll exclaimed as she scrambled to her feat and kicked off the now limp hand that was still attached to her leg, some length down its horrid form it had been promptly cut. The culprit Ninja star indented into the floor and drenched in oil as it reflected the dim red lights that glowed around them.

"Oh. Thanks again." Doll puffs out as she looks briefly around at the various damaged computers that dominated the walls here.

N, ever his cheery self commented back as he handed her the pulse crossbow. "Don't sweat it. Anytime."

"Sure, sometime I should try and save you instead." Doll answered with a tiny bit of sarcasm. Taking the crossbow and loading it with a bolt as N began to rush to the corner that Thad had been dragged down. Strangely, the jock couldn't be heard anymore. Was he dragged to far away to be heard or... Doll didn't really want to think about the other option.  

Her thoughts were snapped back to reality when her disassembly drone companion screamed. A large metal claw having reached out and snapped at him from behind the ninety degree turn. Both machines swiftly retreating.

"Ok what?" Doll squinted her eyes and exclaimed as she and N turned the corner only to be face first with Thad.

The green eyed drone standing knock kneed at the other end of the mist shrouded hallway. N and Doll glared down at him, both of them easily able to tell something was off with him. Especially when he fell over and phased halfway through the floor before the slightly blue tinted body was returned to a standing point.

"Hey, Its me... Tod?" The hologram greeted them with a forced smile and wave.

"You know... Where the other... Snacks are?" The hologram continued speaking, each word sound more butchered then the last one as it begun to confuse even itself.

Doll pointed her crossbow at the hologram, a small smirk forming on her face when the fake drone recoiled away from the loaded weapon.

"Hey wait! It's me! Trad!.. Is that a ffff-rea-kkking ni-njjja star??" He pleaded with them, quieting down when N lightly pushed the crossbow as to not aim at the hologram. The taller drone instead revealing a pair of ninja stars in his hand and quickly debriefing Doll of something.
