He was on the sandbar, tipped onto his side, the crash of waves like a midnight symphony above him. Though the pull of gravity was not as apparent here in this new environment, he still felt like a lead weight rooted to the bottom of the sea and he found it hard to right himself. He struggled for a few minutes before finally managing to get to his feet, but the pitch-black night and the fact that his internal compass wasn’t working—the salt water was probably the culprit—made it hard for him to discover which way led back to shore.

Though he felt slightly lighter than usual, he was still far too heavy to float, even in the buoyant salt water. Taking short, tentative steps, he began to follow the arc of the sandbar until his westerly trajectory almost walked him off into the deeper recesses of the ocean. After that, he knew which way would return him to the beach and which way would destroy him forever.

He emerged from the salt water to find himself on the wrong side of the island. Not that this mattered to Rabbit, whose programming, even as he walked the sandbar, had already begun to run scenarios on how best to save Consuela—and letting the enemy know he was still viable would’ve run counterintuitive to what any possible plan might’ve dictated.

He didn’t know what the leader had used to disarm him—logic predicated an E1 pulse generator—but whatever it was, the humans had believed it would disable the Warbot permanently. Otherwise, they would’ve used their boat to ferry him out into the deeper waters, throwing him overboard where he couldn’t escape the salt water that would eventually corrode his remains into rusted ocean detritus. Instead, they’d dispatched him right from the beach, never imagining a sandbar existed just beyond the wave line, protecting and keeping him from being pulled further out to sea.

One Warbot’s luck had quickly become humanity’s misfortune.
