Sektor 8: Planting the Bomb

It was late that night when both scientists retired. Megaman and Protoman didn't need actual sleep, but they found it habitually comfortable to attempt to do so.

Megaman actually was able to go into a type of sleep, more or less shutting himself down. Protoman found himself unable to do the same.

"Of course…" he said, softly. "A guard never sleeps, while a tool-user may."

Protoman stood, silently, and began walking through the halls. The first thing he did was to enter the main computer room, and pause, staring at the screen.

After a moment of thought, he found himself with the knowledge of how to operate the computer, probably something else which was programmed into him. Resigning himself to his task, he turned off the watchful eye of the sentry cameras.

Turning, he walked outside. He had a theory of sorts, and was ready to test it out. Police and such had blocked off the area where the train crash had occurred, but Protoman had found what he was looking for.

The third body.

He didn't know why he wanted to do this. He didn't know what it would cause. But he lifted the body, and began walking towards the compound.

Once there, he felt for a pulse, and wasn't surprised when he didn't find one. Then, he hooked up the body to life support, which read 0%. After pausing for a moment, he decided to attempt to perform the action anyway.

He hooked up the body to a computer, and attempted to turn all the body's memories into a computer chip. He wasn't sure if it would work, but was willing to try.

After a few hours, he had completed his small action. He carried the body back to where it had originally lain, marked in a circle by the police.

He smiled to himself as he returned to the compound. He was certainly no simple machine.
