“Now looky here, sir,” you say. “This fighting isn’t going to get us anywhere - in fact, it’ll set us back, what with the chances for damaging the suit or this robot. I have a proposal: You let me control the robot, and I’ll gather supplies for whoever gets out of this station-”

“You’d just use the robot to kill me!” says the manager.

“It would be much more to my benefit to use a robot designed to move supplies around - to actually use it as such, rather than waste time trying to murder someone. Anyone I’ve killed, I assure you, I did it in self-defense. So give me control of the robot. I’ll have it gather supplies.”

“And then you’re going to escape the station and leave me here to die!”

“Well, sure, I’m going to try to. However, you’ll still have the option of sneaking up on me and killing me - and getting my suit so that you can take the supplies and fly out of here. If that’s what you want to do.”

There is silence for a long time on the other end of the line. Suddenly the robot backs away and seems to relax, then says, “THIS LABOR ROBOT UNIT SET TO COMPLY TO NEW USER’S VERBAL COMMANDS. STANDING BY.”

You let out a great sigh, hardly believing that the manager bought that line. “Alright, robot,” you say. “Pick up all those food stuffs there and set them down outside the docks, near the dock command station. And gather all the water supplies out of that side room and set them down in the same area. Got it?”

“YES, SIR,” says the robot. It rolls forward and you move out of its way as it bends to organize and lift several of the food boxes. You turn your thoughts to the fuel lines. You jog down the hall while the robot continues its work.

You gain 1 XP for use of your Stat and a further 1 XP for overcoming the robot.
