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.
