Shades of Justice: Page 35

Sonya was unconscious the medical platform had her incased in a field that was monitoring her condition. Her Heart beat was slow but steady. Dante had pulled a chair over to the platform and was sitting vigil over Sonya. Gordon had summoned up another platform and they had laid Technarious’ lifeless body on it.

Gordon, Kelly, and Warren were inspecting the damage. Shined a light into the hole in Technarious’ abdomen. Kelly shook her head. “We don’t even know if we did enough damage to him to shut him down, or if Sonya was successful in destroying his internal power supply.” She griped.

The command station computer pinged. “Technarious’ power supply has sustained enough damage to halt his functionality.” The computer pinged again.

Gordon snapped his fingers and worked through the half an idea forming in his mind. “Computer, is there, um, uh, extra parts! For Technarious?” He asked.

The computer pinged. “Technarious is a mechanically based artificial life form, he is not unique, and replacement parts do exist.” The computer pinged.

Gordon rolled his eyes and growled in frustration. “Are there parts in this command center?” he asked.

The computer pinged. “Unkown.” The computer pinged.

“Oh come on!” Kelly snapped. “You can scan the entire planet for Lumarion, but you can’t scan this room for Technarious’ spare parts?” She yelled.

The computer pinged. “Technarious’ is made up of over one million individual pieces. A full search of this command center for all one point two million parts will take four days.” The computer pinged.

Warren clenched his fists. “We don’t even know which parts to tell the computer to search for.” He pointed out.

Kelly shrugged. “Computer, which parts of Technarious have failed?” she asked.

The computer pinged. “Technarious is not powered and completely non-functional. There is no way to discern which parts have failed without disassembling him.” The computer pinged.

Dante stood up. “Well then, unless one of you got your P.H.D in sentient robot engineering in the last two week, there’s only one person I know of who might be able to help us.” He said.

Warren shook his head. “There’s absolutely no guarantee that Mark will know anything about how to fix Technarious.

Dante nodded. “You got a better idea?” he asked. The others were stone silent. Dante nodded again and put his shades on. “That’s what I thought.” He finalized.
