Chronicles of Tomorrow, Ep. 15: The Dead should lay Dead
Recap:
We walked up the stairs, the fluorescent coat on emergency LEDs glowed faint orange under the shine of my suit’s lamp. Level 1 was not the same as the one we entered from. It was definitely not silent. As soon as we reached its stairwell door, I saw Husky’s ears go up and then I heard it, a consistent humming. I gently pushed the door, and I saw a flash of red light move in my direction. which prompted me to duck behind a cover. I looked at Husky who was hiding behind a wall. His face showed he was cursing me for not providing his suit with teeth. I peered to my left and saw two sentry bots approaching us. It would have been almost suicidal if I had tried to face them head on. Stealth was our only friend here till I could take a shot. I could see their reflections on the windows around and behind my cover. I sat down resting my back and noted their routes. For some reason, they had maintained their patrolling duties.
Their circuit covered each half of the level respectively. There was one point where they converged. Their swinging red lights made it easy…
