Chapter 13
In the hospital, Tuck's room.
Tuck is watching the TV.
Brad doesn't understand what Ms. Wakeman has told him.
BRAD: A virus? Wouldn't that just make him sick or shut down?
MS WAKEMAN: This virus is different. Instead of multiplying and causing random errors, it attacks the mind in the form of a sub-command. This is like the way a subliminal message affects a human, except all personal values are diminished in the robot.
BRAD: So right and wrong makes no difference to him.
MS WAKEMAN: Correct, and that is why XJ-9 should not fight him.
TUCK: Looks like it's too late.
Tuck points to the TV, where they see Jenny facing Silver Shell with Zero.
In the city.
Sheldon starts to sweat. He is unsure of what is going on with Jenny and Zero.
SILVER SHELL: (Nervous) Uhh...Jenny. Are you felling OK?
Jenny remains silent and walks towards Silver Shell. Zero does likewise from behind him. Their slow walk suddenly turns to a mad dash. Sheldon screams and slams the controls. Silver Shell rockets into the air, avoiding the collision. Jenny and Zero slam into each other.
Zero quickly recovers and fires his Z-buster at Shell. Shell dodges only enough for the shot to just graze his chest. He lands on the ground, and then Jenny comes from behind him and grabs his arms, holding him in place.
SILVER SHELL: (Surprised) What are you doing Jenny?!
Zero rushes in and lands blow after blow into the Shell's face. Jenny gets off before Zero kicks Silver Shell in the Chest, leaving him flat on his back.
Whispering is heard among the crowd who watched, wondering amongst themselves if Jenny was good or evil.
Sheldon watches Jenny on screen standing on Shell.
SHELDON: (Sad) What's happened to you?
Jenny's arm transforms into a cannon and aims down. Zero grabs her gun and aims it at Shell's head. Jenny smiles and shoots, destroying the head of the Silver Shell.
Jenny and Zero now turn their attention to the crowd. The people scream and scatter.
In the hospital.
Brad, Tuck and Ms. Wakeman, watch in horror as Jenny and Zero fire on the crowd.
MS WAKEMAN: This has gotten out of hand. Apparently, XJ-9 has been infected.
BRAD: There must be a way to stop them. Wouldn't you know how to stop Jenny?
MS WAKEMAN: Not without knowing the exact code of the virus. Since my lab was destroyed and Zero running amok, there is no way I can find a solution.
TUCK: Maybe we can find something at that abandoned lab.
MS WAKEMAN: Excuse me? What lab?
TUCK: The lab we found Zero in.
MS WAKEMAN: Really? (Looks at Brad with disgust.)
BRAD: Look, I can explain...
MS WAKEMAN: (Interrupting) I guess some good could come of this. Perhaps you could find something useful in that lab.
BRAD: That's what Jenny and I were doing until Tuck woke him up.
TUCK: Hey!
MS WAKEMAN: (Yelling) We're not playing the blame game here. We have important work to do!
BRAD: What's the plan?
MS WAKEMAN: Bradley, you need to go to that lab and find as much information as you can on Zero. Do you remember where the lab is.
BRAD: Yes.
MS WAKEMAN: Good. Now get to it and take this with you.
Ms. Wakeman hand Brad a communicator.
MS WAKEMAN: I'll keep in contact with you in case anything happens and you likewise.
BRAD: You got it Ms. W.
