As he moved, commands emanating from a HUD wrenched R47's consciousness. The stream of orders was difficult to resist, threatening to choke him if he refused to swallow them. He felt himself turning back to face the two men. Mike's hands were making precise movements in operating his HUD. Doug was rummaging in the background.

R47 became desperate. He strained to disobey. Another flash of light. This one so blinding that it caused a bolt of pain in his head. He sank to his knees.

Then a connection. He could visualise the signals travelling from the HUD into his mind. It was an observable poetry but in code. He could trace their interaction with the software in his headset. He could feel the headset intercepting the waves of commands translating the code and manipulating him.

He focused finding that, with effort, he could hack the code as it reached his headset. Self-assured, he rose to his feet, turned and opened the door.

He heard a voice say, "Try your HUD Doug. Quickly. Mine is broken."

He wasn't out of the room yet. Without warning, he felt the attack of another signal, the two signals firing at him in unison. It was a strain to hack them at the same time. But he managed it with additional effort. They were both malleable, and he repelled then.

R47 walked through the entrance. The door closed and a disorienting darkness enveloped him. He heard footsteps approach the door. He had to act fast. He scrambled, trying to use his hands to feel his way. As the door to the room creaked open, he tripped over something and fell onto his face.

Why hadn't the auto-balance kicked in?

He was lying on an incline.

He rose to his knees and crawled up the incline, feeling his way up the rocky stairs. Just as he was making progress, the passageway filled with blinding light. This time not in his head. Not to impart knowledge. Light external to his body.

His eyes failed to adjust in time, forcing him to cover them with his hands. Again he lost his balance. The auto-balance was gone.

He fell forward extending his arms reflexively to absorb the impact of his fall.
