Slac sat as Nur Sal did the repairs to his cheast. He looked depressed.
Slac: I'm sorry master. I should have listened.
Nur Sal: Not your fault Slac. All things considering, you did surprisingly well. They had the element of surprise, and far more experience. Yet you took out four of them, as if you have been battleing them for years. Which in reality you have.
Slac: Thank you master.
Nur Sal: There! Your fixed. Come, we must go.
Slac: To where?
Nur Sal: Work.
Slac: Where's that? Another libary? A school?
Nur Sal: The medabot desiging at the military base.
....
The two walked up to the base. If anything it was larger than the libary. Heavily armed medabots, flew above cement walls. Multiple weapons were mounted on these wall, and they seemed to track most civialians that walked past.
None tracked Nur Sal, or Slac. The two walked inside a large pyrimade structure, then walked down several flights of metal stairs. Then coming into site of an iris hatch, the two stopped. Nur Sal typed in some numbers, then they waited.
Speaker: Access to Level C weapons granted.
Nur Sal: Come Slac. We have many people to talk to, and introductions need to be made.
Slac: Yes Master.
The two walked through polished white corridors, and Slac tried to take in every detail. The vairous humans and medabots, seemed to work well together. It seemed rare to see one or the other working by themselves. Nur Sal led them to a women and her medabot. The woman had red hair and green eyes. Her medabot was a sailor multi type with red and blue highligths. They both turned to Nur Sal.
Nur Sal: Hello Vienna. Dyed your hair red did you?
Vienna: Hi Nur Sal. The hair is king of a long story, but I would like you to meet, Geni. And who's your medabot?
Slac: My name is Slac. Pleased to met you Vienna, and Geni.
Geni: Likewise. Which one are you?
Slac: Excuse me?
Geni: Are you his third, fourth, or fifth medabot?
Nur Sal: Slac is number six. The bandits killed the rest.
With that Geni kicked Vienna in the shin.
Vienna: OWWW!!!... Why'd you do that?
Geni: You never told me that part of the story. You only told me he had built five medabots.
Vienna: Would you have cared anyway?
Geni paused for a moment.
Geni: No.
Nur Sal: Well, Vienna, Slac and I must continue. We shall continue this conversation later.
Geni: Bye Slac.
Slac: Er... bye Geni.
As they walked away, Nur Sal grinned.
Nur Sal: You liked her didn't you?
Slac: Err...uhh...
Nur Sal just laughed.
....
As Nur Sal worked on a medabot, the scene kept replaying in his mind...
Geni: Are you his third, fourth, or fifth medabot?
Nur Sal: Slac is number six. The bandits killed the rest.
Slac: Master? Why did the bandits kill your eariler medabots?
Nur Sal: I'm not quite ready to tell you yet Slac. Perhaps when you mature a little...
Slac: Yes master.
Nur Sal let out a sigh before returning to his work.
Nur Sal: Poor Slac. If only I could tell him...
Flash back...
Nur Sal: Exar NO! Why are you doing this?
The yellow Kbt fired a shot, and hulled the medal. He had just killed Chuf.
Exar: Why? Because I was paid too.
End of flashback.
Several weeks had passed, then Exar had killed the next. And the one after that. And the one after that as well...
Five medals had all been shot straight through. Some had put up a decent fight. Others had not. But Slac...
Slac was the best of each of them.
Nur Sal could only wonder if it would be enough.
Argghh.... I still haven't gotten rid of my writers block.
Slac: I'm sorry master. I should have listened.
Nur Sal: Not your fault Slac. All things considering, you did surprisingly well. They had the element of surprise, and far more experience. Yet you took out four of them, as if you have been battleing them for years. Which in reality you have.
