I LOVE IT!
Now, you all know the song and dance by now, so let's get to it. Spoiler: Winning Vote [X] Take some wild-life samples: You never know what might come in handy, and you've got plenty to sunlight
-Order the Jackbots to gather plant samples fruits and flowers primarily. Fly towards jet.
-If Jackbots need better(simpler) directions say "Get the colorful, weird, or solitary ones and only ONE of each!"
HERE. WE. GO.
You were in the middle of one of the deadliest Jungles in the world and all you had to survive your trip back to your Jet were a Jetpack, a gun that shoots pain, two items of mystical power, and at least 10 robots programmed to ensure your continued existence.
It was so funny, you couldn't resist a little laugh, with did its job of dispelling any panic.
Really, what did you have to worry about? Why not actually ENJOY the sights around you for a bit, and who knows? Maybe you'd pick up something interesting.
In fact...
"Jackbots. Activate, and search for possible interesting specimins that do NOT attack or otherwise harm me. Prioritize vegetation." You tapped into your Bot connector using binary. 1 tap for one, 2 for zero.
Soon, you had your response.

Roger-Roger, how cheeky. Still, you've never regretted signing up your Bots for Battlefront, it was just to appropriate.
"Welp, no point in staying here. Coming Wuya?" Jack asked to the silent spirit who had been watching him go through his moods.
She was silent for a moment, before she 'closed' her eyes and simply nodded for a moment, apparently lost in thought.
You decided not to give it much mind for now, but resolved to talk about it with her later when you had the chance.
Still, you had other things to do. With little fanfare, you're Jet-pack flexed its wings, and you were airborne once again.
As you scanned the horizon, you're eyes immediately zeroed in on the massive tree you had parked under. It thankfully didn't seem that far away, and would probably only be a 10 minute flight. Thus, you took off.
TIMESKIP
It did NOT take 10 minutes to fly there.
Instead, it took a full hour of flight, with the tree remaining in its viewing position of miles away until just before you literally smashed headfirst into it. If it wasn't for your quick reflexes and habit of flying upright to feel the wind, the crash probably would have killed you.
Given said near-death miss, you wasted no time in touching back down on the ground, and quickly booked it around to the other side where you were parked.
Thank Buddha, Kami, and everyone else you parked by something so immediately visible, otherwise this would have been MUCH harder.
And wouldn't you know it, as you ordered back your Bots with their Call button, it seems that the extra time had worked to their advantage.
Two of them seemed to be carrying rather simple samples of what you immediately recognized as plantable sections of a Rubber tree and a Cocoa tree, both of which you had familiarity with due to your families insane range of plant based resources.
The other three things the Bots were carrying however, stumped you.
The first bot wasn't so much carrying anything so much as he was COVERED in hundreds of tiny monkey's. As in, each one was less than an individual finger. Spoiler: Little Land Piranha's they is
Your eyes soon swung over to the next Bot in line, which was carrying a physical item this time, but it seemed even more out of place. It...was an old puzzle box. Seeing it, you already could feel the headache, both from what the hell it was doing in the middle of the Jungle, and the thought of trying to open it. Spoiler: NOT ANOTHER ONE!
But the last thing though... it was sitting in the final bots arm's contently, but..sassily? And what the FUCK was it... Spoiler: How do you EXIST
Watching it for a moment as it looked back at you, you felt that maybe it was time to leave the Jungle.
So, you quickly had the Bots load up their samples, along with themselves except for a few to 'entertain' or keep the live one from wrecking anything, you hitched yourself in and flew away from the madhouse you're life was slowly becoming.
HUNT: COMPLETE SUCCESS!
Now, what ever happened to those shady few...
POV SHIFT: ?'S VIEW
"Sir! All preparations are complete!" A flunky yelled to you, as you finally finished prepping for the most important moment of your life.
"Excellent! Then, with me men!"
""Sir!"' The cry resounded as all went to their stations.
And what were these station, one may ask? They were exactly what one should be at!
A steel plated pillow fort located 25 miles under the Amazon Jungle, leadlined to prevent X-Rays, and held with no less than 7 different types of Titanium-enforced doors.
"Yes! If we stay quiet enough, they will never notice us here! For this time, WE WILL LIVE!" You began to cry invictory, before hastily shutting up as the cameras detected aerial movement above.
"OH GOD, THEY HEARD US! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" A nameless jobber called from the background, which you could only nod your head numbly too, prepared for the end to come.
Therefore, it was in total silence that they waited for the eventual Fists of Death and Fire that never came, and wasn't until the last signs of plane emission disappeared from thermal vision that a slightly hysterical laugh began to break out amongst those in the bunker.
"Ha, ha...hahahah. HAHAHAHAHAHA! We'RE ALIVE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" As the first voice broke down, so too did the rest begin to follow suit, throwing their safety blankets and other comfort items in the air in celebration.
Belatedly, you realized you were one of those that did it, but you couldn't bring yourself to care, even as you hugged the people closest to you.
YOU WERE ALIVE!
END OF POV
END OF CHAPTER
...Yeah. Let's just say our grandparents put the fear of Robot-Jesus and Seasonings into those guys. Not everyone I show is an enemy either! Isn't that GREAT?
So, in any case, I hope you all enjoyed the end of our Amazon Arc, and I'll have the next Week vote up soon. Until then, I hope you all have a wonderful time!
