Tansy screamed at the top of her lungs. "GIDGET! WHERE ARE YOU!?" She ran down the hall at full speed, her eyes searching for any sign of her. It was then that she saw the large door at the end of the hall. She ran towards it and began to beat on it. "Gidget.. Gidget are you in there?!" She called out as she prayed that she had at least found where the pink haired girl was at.

Lilith blinked a few times. "It's okay." She said softly as she grabbed his arm. "Tell me what you remember last, and who you're looking for and I'll do what I can." She smiled at him and titled her head to the side.

"Tansy! Wait!" Ako called down the hall. He ran to catch up to her, hoping he wasn't too late to tell her what the robot said. When he reached her, he passed on the message about Gidget, her loss of control, the new robots, Charles, and the coming backup. "We just need to wait for a bit, and we can take Charles down, no problem." He'd already nearly forgotten about the Tesla Cannon on his left hand.

He gave a small smile, "Heh, alright." There was a nervous laugh, the red eyes looked around at the buildings as he thought. "Something horrible had happened.. It involved uh... An abduction?" He mumbled while the eyes continued scanning the area, helping him focus. "And I usually need to follow someone because my sense of direction is absolutely terrible.. So I think I got way off course..." Elliot glanced at her quickly, "There were some dogs. They were growling and showing their teeth and that's all I think I can remember.." Elliot mumbled quietly. "I know it's not much of anything.. My mind has gone completely blank.. How did YOU get here?"

"I walked here." She said quickly. "Although, my mind was somewhere else, so I'm not quite sure how I really got here myself." She paused. "You mentioned an Abduction...."
Tansy blinked and shook her head. "So wait... You think that Charles will come down here?" She placed her hand on her head. "Okay.. We need a game plan, and fast." She began to pace in the hall and stopped when she noticed something. "What is that?" She asked pointing to his left hand.

Garret saw the robot and jumped back, not wanting to be close for whatever attack it held inside of it. But it was a particularly hard place to find length between two persons, so he spoke. "Yes. Who's asking?" His voice a mixture of fear and angst. He stood with his gaurd up, eyes darting around the stair well. This could be a trap, I shouldn't have stopped.

A series of clicks and beeps come from inside the chasis of A-0079. The speaker clicks as the montone static comes out again, "Facial structure and voice confirmed. Garret, last name unkown due to amnesia. Friend of Princess Gidget. Statement: I have been instructed by Princess Gidget to take you and the others to her. Ako Riosu and Tansy Hinzard are currently in the foundry." His head swivels, the servos in his neck making a gentle whir. He returns his vizor to Garret, "Inquiry: Where is Annabella Soulsmith?"
From further up the stairs, Annie is well within earshot of the explative shouted from one of the guards with the beanbag guns. "Oh f**k that! No way in hell am I messing with someone who can melt people's insides! I'm f*ing out of here!" Footfalls then begin to move away from Annie at a quick pace.

"No, Charles is down here. And this, " He raised the cannon to chest level to look at it, "It's a new toy from Gidget. The robot brought it. It helps me focus my power."

Garret listened intently to the robot when he heard Gidget. He nodded, now less cautious of the robot and confident that Goidget was helping them. She wasn't totally under his control. "I understand. Annie is up a couple more levels."

"Urgent request: Please meet up with Ako Riosu and Tansy Hinzard. I will find Annabella Soulsmith. Informative statement: the way down is clear of any security. Warning: Charles Ray will deploy F-series security drones in less than five minutes. Cautious advice: please stand clear, I am about to reignite my jets."
It gives Garret a moment to move away, then takes off like a rocket once again. It stops abruptly when it spots Annie. It wheels over and lands on the stairs a few feet in front of her. It stands to full height and asks with a static click, "Inquiry: Is your name Annabella Soulsmith?"

Tears of relief were in Annie's eyes as guards disappeared. If only they knew how close she was to collapsing from exhaustion. She was sitting on the steps taking a few calming breath when the huge robotic device towered over her.
"Holy crap!" Annie gasped, stumbling up. Was this the war robot the guards had mentioned that Charles Ray had made Gidget make. She stood in a fighting pose, fist raised, not that she would use her fists to fight if she had to... "Yeah, I'm her. Who sent you? And why do you want to know?" Her voice was a lot quieter than earlier and horse, she was tired... it had been a long day. And the stress was Hell on her body.

"Well, No matter where he is, we can't get through this door unless someone has picked up a key card, or he invites us in. Well... I mean... I could break it down. Since we already set off the alarms and everything...." She winced somewhat at the though.

The robot's chasis clicks and beeps. A-0079's monotone static comes through it's speaker, "Facial structure and voice confirmed. Annabella Soulsmith, friend of Princess Gidget. Statement: I have been instructed to bring you to Princess Gidget's location along with the other three. Observation: You appear to be severley fatigued. Polite request: Please allow me to carry you to the 11th floor foundry to meet with Ako Riosu, Garret, and Tansy Hinzard." The robot turns it's back to Annie and drops to a knee with a clang. It positions it's arms backward to allow her to be piggy back carried.
A red siren light above the foundry door begins to spin with a loud buzz accompanying it. The sound of several heavy sliding locks echo through the hallway. The door opens slowly to reveal a large room that is pitch black save for the little light that is coming through the now open door from the hallway. Charles voice reverberates through the speakers in the hallway, "Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here." The maniacal laugh that follows can be heard all the way to the lower portions of the emergency stairwell.

Annie nodded, "Um... yeah, that sounds faster then me walking." She was too tired to fight or even be suspicious, after today, she decided to just go with it. And, so she climbed onto the robot's back, feeling a little childish as she did so.

Ako stepped back as the foundry door opened, getting into his defensive stance. "I think that's him inviting us in." He said.
