The Pride of Echelon 3

Careless Whispers

All T-Dolls were fast asleep in there dorms, waiting for the alarm to go off signaling them to awaken from their slumber. Tomorrow would bring another day of rest and recovery, just as the day before had provided them.

But today would be different, decided a member from the group. It would be different for her. A time to think to herself, plan for herself, but mostly to be by herself. She wouldn't get far though. From the corner of the room, a little blue haired girl had awoken from the commotion.

"Springfield?" Said Mini Uzi. "What are you doing up so late?"

Springfield stood there without saying a word. Hoping that the shadows would hide her.

"Springfield?" Said Uzi again. She began to get out of bed, but was quickly stopped by a voice.

"Go back to bed, Uzi." Sternly said the T-Doll. "It's late and you need your sleep."

"But what are you doing?"

"That's none of your business Uzi. Go to bed. Now."
Said Springfield

Not wanting to fight and without saying a word, Uzi got back into bed without any resistance. And with that, Springfield opened the door and left, carrying something with her.

"Should I wake up Grizzly?" Said the girl to herself. Pandering to herself on what her first move should be. She got out of bed and headed to where Grizzly slept. The brown haired girl was fast asleep and tucked in nice and neatly. She had a blind fold on as well. Probably to help her sleep, assumed Uzi.

Uzi slowly lifted her hand and started to reach out to Grizzly who was now snoring. "What should I tell her?" Thought Uzi to herself as she was now but inches away from her leaders shoulder. "What if she gets mad at us all?" Wondered Uzi. "What if she gets on to me since I didn't stop her? What if I get in trouble?"

Quickly, Mini Uzi pulled away from Grizzly. The thought of taking the heat for something she couldn't control was not in her schedule for tomorrow. Grizzly then rolled to her side, now facing away from the blue haired girl and towards the wall.

Uzi had to act quickly and think fast. She wasn't aware of how much time she had wasted thinking about her first move. Who knows where Springfield could be at this time of night. She could have decided to leave the whole faculty in general, like a runaway T-Doll. And she knows runaways don't get to come back.

Uzi quickly left the dorm in a hurry, beginning her search for her missing friend.

Uzi travelled down the empty hallways, occasionally walking past a few doors with bright flashes of light emitting from the cracks. She could hear loud banging noises and shouting from inside the rooms. Uzi being generally creeped out from the noise, started to quicken her pace. By the time she walked far enough, the only thing she could hear is the sound of her feet hitting the hard concrete floors. Other then her footsteps, she could only hear silence as she continued her search.

Uzi turned the corner and came up to another hall way. To the right of her were two windows with light illuminating the hallway from the room. The Occasional sound of gun fire could be heard from the windows. Curiosity had struck this T-Doll, as she slowly made her way to the window to get a peak at what was firing a gun.

She peeked from the corner to see two T-Dolls shooting at robotic targets from inside. After every other shot from their rifle, the target would drop to the ground.

"Nice shot, you're a poet with a rifle!" Said the voice of a mysterious T-Doll. "Another clanker down!"

Uzi heard the sound of a gun loading and the sound of the bolt cocking forward as the bullet entered the chamber.
