The Red Android Rebellion

Corey was slow, but the healing injection was doing its job. We walked along at a slightly less than normal pace until we passed the large doorway with the red glowing indicator. Continuing down the passageway, I could see the tracks made by the robot. The tracks ended at a large door on the left wall. Beside this doorway were two large buttons. The first was marked with an up arrow and the other with a down arrow. “Well, we seem to have a choice to make. Circumnavigate the jungle on this level which is the longest path. Move up several levels and cross above the jungle which will take us through a science area that was once near the botany dome. I think this is where the jungle started out. Or, move down two levels and work our way through the engineering section under the jungle then back up on the other side two levels to the navigation array. This takes us past the shuttle bays.”

Ben replied at once. “I prefer the engineering area. We might find useful devices to help us in the journey. We may also find a need to use a shuttle if we have to go outside to fix part of the navigation thruster array so it would be helpful to know if that is an option for us before we get to the array.”

“Good points,” said Corey thoughtfully. “Of course, the science area would give us access to more medical supplies and other useful tech. I wish I had some brush killer on me when that vine appeared. Frankly, I would not mind spraying down the whole bloody jungle. No offense, Jill”.

“None taken, Corey. You should know that the vine while being a dangerous thing, was angry and striking out because of the robot that set it on fire just before you appeared at the opening. Still, it would likely have attacked anyway when you entered the jungle. The jungle is a hard place, but I would be sad to see it all destroyed.”

I looked around at everyone. “I think we are all tired. Let's go up two levels. The map says crew quarters so we can find a room to rest in for the night before moving on. What say you?” Everyone agreed, and I pressed the up arrow. The arrow illuminated then went out, After a moment it came back on and remained lit. Some 10 or 15 minutes later a rumbling could be heard drawing closer to us from above. As the rumbling stopped, the arrow light turned off, and the doors slid slowly apart.

I looked into the elevator in disbelief. There was moss growing along half the floor. Two androids broken into several pieces were scattered across the back half of this 20 by 30-foot elevator. In the corner where the moss grew were five human skulls and a fur covered hand of some large beast with long claws. I noted Jill glancing at the clawed hand and then at her own hand.
