Part II: An Android?

I've heard a few rumors about robots taking over the city streets. Who knows what those elite tin cans could do? Their programmers I guess. I am more of a traditional man, humans are the most precise yet most flawed creatures I've ever set my eyes upon. Androids could never truly take over us...at least for now... as a junior monster hunter I will go to my post and keep watch on the bridge leading to Everlast City. Anything that is moving has to get through me.

A cute girl stopped by...should I talk to her?

Oh...she doesn't know how to walk...
Her legs are... bending in weird ways...
Her arms and head are jerking around in an absurd manner... should I...help her?

she's walking on all fours...
her head is turning like a wind vane...
Her eyes are...twitching...rolling...writhing...

He draws his gun...
He shoots...
He makes her angry

It took out...more than half of my men... and we're all separated...
