Chapter 2

Unknown errors

"This one of the most strangest things I have ever seen" said a voice.

"What happened?" asked another voice.

"What's going on? Where am I?" thought the confused tachikoma.

It struggled to see what was going on but all it could see was black.

Two technicians stand in front of the tachikoma as it made very faint movements.

"It suffered from an unknown fatal error" said a tech

"An unknown error, wouldn't you think that something would have came up in the diagnostics?" asked the other tech as he was looking over the tachikoma.

"Nothing came up, everything was somewhat normal" explained the tech.

"What do you mean somewhat normal?"

"All systems are running, but,. There's something slowly frying its Neurochip" said the tech as he paged through his notes.

"It's like a brain cancer or something" he continued.

"Since when do machines get brain cancer, most people get cyberized just because of it"

"It's the only thing I could compare this to"

The techs watch the tachikoma make a few more faint movements.

"Did any of the other units suffer from this same error?" asked one of the techs.

"No this is the only one"

"Well, at least it's recovering" said a tech.

"For now" added the other one.

-Later that night-

After several hours of trying to regain control, it finally did, it looked around the dark room and noticed four tachikomas, with U.S. air force security logos stamped on their pods, standing right in front of it.

"Huh? Who are you guys?" it asked.

None of them said anything they just stared at it.

"Hello?"

"Alpha 1 code 2" said one of them.

"Huh?"

"Do you have security clearance to be in this sector?" asked one of them in a raspy robot-like voice.

"Security clearance? For what?" asked the confused tachikoma.

"Please present your ID badge"said another security droid.

"ID badge? What are you guys talking about?" said the confused think tank.

"Subject doesn't comply with security clearance request, subject is registering as a threat" said one of them.

"Alpha 1 code 30 intruder alert sector 13" said the lead unit.

Security alarms begin to blare through out the base, all of the tachikomas point their guns at the tachikoma.

"Do not move, or you will be neutralized" said one of them.

"Neutralized! Hey wait a second!" shouted the tachikoma as it began to back away from the alerted security robots.

"Threat is trying to evade, threat is hostile, neutralize threat!" said the lead unit.

The other tachikomas open fire.

The tachikoma ran for the door and busted right through it, knocking two Air Force MPs to the ground.

The tachikoma continued down the hallway, the MP's and the other tachikomas pursue it.

"This is not good" thought the tachikoma as it continued to dodge bullets.

At a entrance gate security out post two MP's are having a cigarette.

"So anything exciting happen around here?" asked an airman.

"Not really, except for a couple of drunk drivers, other than that its pretty boring" replied the other MP.

The tachikoma smashes right through the gate.

"Holly shit!" yelled one of the MP's.

"Last time I drink on the job!" shouted the other MP.

The tachikoma continued to run from it pursuers which as now accumulated to thirty base security personal, a couple of guard dogs, and the security tachikomas.

The tachikoma sees a forested hill near the base, as an effort to lose its pursuers it races for it.

Several hours later the tachi makes it to the top of hill, and to its surprise, its pursuers are nowhere in sight.

The tachikoma looks down at the base, which was now alive like an angry ant hill, "that was close" said the tachikoma as it continued on it's journey. It disappears into the dense forest.
