You decide to spare him. You space walk towards the window, picking up speed with each step. Your walk turns to a run and then a sprint. You hop forward and bend your knees at the window to gain more force as you jump through the window. The low gravity made it seem like you were travelling in slow motion. Somehow you got enough speed to shatter the window but your robot head had sustained a bit of damage and you were knocked unconscious in the process. You float across space for hours... Days. Weeks. Months. Years You are not sure but when you wale up...... Nothing is the same.... Your LED eyes flicker to life. You are strange planet. You are lying down in the middle of a grass field. Strangely though this grass is... Purple? You stand up and you see that there are some purple leafed trees in the distance too. The bark has patterns similar to those on birch trees and they twist and turn as if they had grown around something cylindrical and stayed that way when the thing disappeared. You look down at your space suit. It has been ripped up and is now barely hanging off of your shoulder by a thread. Half of your chest is exposed and you see a series of numbers written down the middle of your chest. You reluctantly rip off the rest of your space suit to reveal the other half of the number. It is a serial number that read r666orv2u.
... 666....The devils number. You realise that there is a chance that you were doomed from the beginning.
A loud beeping disrupts the deafening silence around you.... Your battery is low and there is no manual charging port anywhere to be seen.
