Assembly
After Shay died the lab was a lot quieter. Nobody talked while working unless it was relevant to his or her work. Sarah took it the hardest. When she walked by everyone would just glare at her. It was the third week after the accident, and time to assemble the robot.
"Ok. Take up the head," said the NEW ANTI-GODZILLA controller.
"Copy that. We'll check for any leaks of gas coming out the bottom first though."
"Roger." said the controller. Sarah watched the jet lift up the head from the web cam. She knew something no one else did. That was how Shay died. She'd tell them but last time she tried the phone had wrung for her. It was that voice again. The one with the screen name.
"I know I should be controlling that robot. I'll try to get my spot back," she said to herself. She sighed. She knew if she didn't fight Godzilla it wouldn't count for revenge. "No! No, I will. I will get my spot back. No one can stop me!" The head was up. And out toward the torso.
"And… ok. Take it down," said the new controller. The head started lowering to the body. Clang! The head went into the socket but couldn't lock into it.
"What happened? I lowered it just as I was set to."
"I don't know! As much as I hate to say it… call Sarah." After a few minutes Sarah got a call from the pilot.
"Yeah?"
"Sarah its Rican. What happened out there?"
"I think it has to do with the growth DNA. It probably started growing its own head. The head grew so much already that you couldn't get the head in all the way."
"Well can we take out the head it grew?" asked the pilot.
"Yes, if you want to rebuild the whole robot. So I say we just let it grow than put in the weapons."
"Well that might work. But no one cares what you say. So go back and work at WaWa. Because the only way you're going to get a job here is if you figure out you pinned Shay to the target." With that Sarah hung up the phone and exited out of the web cam. She walked to the to the lab's exit. She turned on the loud speaker before she left.
"Well if that's what I need… I'll be back by Monday. It was Saturday.
"Daddy!" Kiryu blew up in an instant. These two scenes where repeatedly skipping to each over and over again in Sarah's mind.
