A little way down the slope, Arkuun-Marl saw movement at the gate he’d smashed heroically through.

In theory, he could probably burrow his way into the ice and remain hidden from search parties, he calculated. Once the two organics were captured, no one would care much about a robot just following orders. But then, these organics weren’t so bad, as organics went. Not all of them anyway. They even called him ‘he’ instead of ‘it’. He wasn’t used to that. No, he wouldn’t abandon—

A vessel suddenly lifted off from inside the town. It must have arrived as he was leading the way up the mountain. Aid had been requested after all. He watched the flyer hovering, waiting for something.

Seven hoverbikes shot through the hole in the gate, speeding towards the mountain. The flyer turned and followed. Uh oh.

‘Trouble,’ the robot shouted, running back up the slope.

The Krathan was standing, motionless, over Archer. Just staring down at him. She didn’t seem to hear what he said for a moment. But then she took the sports bag off her back and unzipped it. Taking out her rifle, she threw Archer’s to Arkuun-Marl.

Archer seemed remarkably still. Was he even breathing? With the wind driving flakes of snow across his photoreceptors, he couldn’t tell. Arkuun-Marl hadn’t seen the Terran get shot, so he had no idea how much blood might have been lost. Such cold wouldn’t help, though.

‘Is he dead?’ the robot asked bluntly.
