Chapter 8

Before I can ask what army she is referring to, the Head says, “You stay here. I don't want to lose you in the battle that is probably already starting below.”

“Hold on,” I say, holding out a hand toward her. “What is this army that you speak of? Is it from Reunification? More of those lizard creatures, perhaps?”

“Probably,” says the Head. She puts one hand on her forehead and frowns. “But I can't tell for certain. If you could feel it yourself, then you would understand why I want you to stay here. This army is too big and powerful to risk losing you to. That is why you must stay here.”

“But I am a J bot,” I say. “I can fight and take care of myself. My energy level is only at seventy-six percent now, after all, and I am still in good shape from the previous fight.”

“What about that hole in your chest?” says the Head, pointing at my chest. “The one that looks like one of those lizard creatures from earlier made it?”

I look down at my chest. The hole is still there and still needs to be looked at by a certified J bot technician, but I completely forgot about it until now.

“I will be fine,” I say, covering my hole with my hand. “It is not a debilitating wound; it is what you organics might call a 'flesh wound,' if I had flesh. I can still move and fight without trouble.”

“No,” says the Head. “Stay here. If the battle is successful, then I will be back shortly. Right now, I need to rally the surviving agents into whatever fighting force I can gather.”

In the blinking of an optic, the Head is gone, leaving me all alone in this room. Even so, I can still sense her skyras level, which is intriguing because she should probably be out of my range by now. Of course, her aura is fainter now, but the fact that I can feel it at all means that she is even stronger than my sensors indicate (although that could be because the Foundation agents altered my skyras sensors, of course).

I am now the only entity left in this room. I consider simply standing here and waiting for the Head's return, or the return of one of the other Foundation agents, but then I decide that this is the perfect opportunity to attempt to make an escape.

With no one to stop me, I dash over to the door and attempt to open it. Unfortunately, I soon discover that the door is still locked with skyras energy, even after I punch it as hard as I can, which fails to even create a dent in the door. The door looks normal, but the skyras energy protecting it must be reinforcing its strength.

I turn around, hoping to find another way out of here that I might have missed earlier. That seems doubtful, but I am aware that the Foundation has many secrets and I would not put it past them to have secret doors or rooms hidden in their base.
