A large human group soon returned, rolling four cylinders full of liquid through the doors. Strange mortal behaviour did not concern me, so I dutifully ignored them. Until they had the nerve to intrude on my new haven and leave the tubes scattered at the corners of the prison. I would have sighed if I knew how. The humans fiddled with their primitive buttons and switches until, to my surprise, the tubes opened and the vile liquid spilled out. Another four human-robot things. But they seemed...familiar. The light coloured glows coming from them, I'd seen them before somewhere. Blue, green, orange and pink. All four seemed dormant, the eyes closed over, still as useless statues. Then, one by one, the eyes whirred online and they stepped precariously out of the tubes. They stood blinking like morons, gazing around. The lab-monkeys nodded again, and filed out of the chamber.
"This wasn't space, where was space? I was in space, now I'm not. Wanna go back. Wanna go back. Space, wanna go. Go back. Don't like earth, it's boring. Earth's boring. Wanna go. Wanna wear my spacesuit. Can't wear spacesuit on earth."
Oh great. The orange one was rambling about...space... wait a minute. The space core, was also orange. And the green one, that looked like the corrupt adventure core. That made the pink one the fact core, and the blue one...oh god. Not him. Anyone but hi-
"Right, glass plastic...stuff, lot's of white paint, some robot things. Including me... hmm, that's different. Oh, hi again! It's you, the... crazy homicidal system- look, all that stuff about me 'taking over the facility' and 'putting you in a potato', could we maybe-"
I didn't let him finish it, not with my fingers gripping his humanoid throat. The mortal gagging noises somehow satisfied me. The orange one was still rabbiting about space, and the green one was running towards me.
"Hold on, partner! I'll save you!" he claimed uselessly as he lunged at my hands. Pathetic, I flick him off in a instant.
"There is a 83.9% chance that she will suffocate you in the next 2 minutes." That disturbed me. I didn't want to kill him...yet. Reluctantly, I let go and watched as he gasped for air (as if he actually needed it).
"That was a close one, guy! Good thing I was here!" the green adventure...robot gushed. I rolled my eyes and groaned inside. I was stuck with these morons... until I could formulate a plan for escape.

Next chapter may come VERY slowly, I've got a lot of stuff to do lately as well as a few more story ideas to write out. Still, I hope this will keep you at bay until I can get the next one written! :P
