SR looks around. From his perspective there is data about his face. No language known to earth. He looked at the water to scan it’s content. He sucks in the wastewaster for a bit. Then continues. On for sometime. Wandering about the sewers aimlessly. He is unknowingly in Lexcorps vicinity as he saunters aimlessly through the sewers.
SR hears a noise from above. His acute senses picking up on some meager vibrations through the ground. Like a scream. SR switches to thermal and sees a heat signature above him. He pauses for a few moments.
The ground shakes for a moment. Then it shakes again. A sewer cap flies up as something bursts from the ground. SR lands on the ground, the pavement cracking with his landing. SR looks Claws come out it hands and he runs forward at alarming speed for a creature his size. The ground shaking from his approach as he leaves footprints in the solid ground. SR is momentary blur as he jumps by the drone. Cassandra falls out of the drones grip as it falls apart into pieces.
Behind Cassandra, SR53 is jumping rapidly about tearing through drones slashing about the drones. He misses one, and lands on a wall. He stands on the wall, puts his fist to, and rips a part of the wall out. SR jumps forward and throws the chunk at the drone. He detracts his claws as he sees the last drone and lunges it. The drone attempts an evade as it fires at SR but he grabs it none the less adjusting it’s direction, and crushes it in his hands as if they were made of aluminium foil. He stops for a moment to look it over as if momentarily curious. Then takes it in his arms and crushes it as if it were made of aluminium foil.
It sees the woman, and tilts it’s head out of apparent curiosity. He exhales carbon dioxide gas from ea port in front of him. Then walks forward on all 4s rather slowly. He stops about 2 feet from her leaning towards her. *Sniff sniff sniff* It has a heavy breath as it sniffs in a manner similar like an animal. Smelling around her. It looks at her with it’s glowing eyes.
-
-Cassandra found herself plummeting to the ground but landing rather safely on her tush. She didn’t have much of one so it still hurt but it was enough to assure no damage was done. Her eyes tried to follow the zipping thing over head and each drone seemed to be at its mercy. Her mind raced with thoughts of how this could possibly be used, mostly weaponized first against the forces that had invaded the city then those who dare stand in her way.
Soon the carnage stopped and it was staring at her. It was even sniffing her, how disgusting. At the same time, she tried to think of it like a dog. She looked into the glowing eyes, hesitant but with thanks. She heard a much larger swarm of drones and saw half of them coming behind the beast. The rest were coming from behind her but she didn’t notice those ones. There must have been 300 in total.
She pointed behind the creature and yelled, “Watch out!”
The drones were coming on fast and some grabbed at her again. “Let me go!” She yelled at them as they tried to tug her and she flailed and attempted to kick them again, but they already had that leg. They started to drag her towards where they wanted her to go, to their leader. She still struggled against it and injured her fist a little on one. Her pointer and middle finger knuckles bled a bit.-

SR-53 was looking at her scanning body composition, when suddenly an absolutely enormous amount of drones enter. It heard the drones approaching and turned sharply as she pointed to them. As they swarmed he backhanded 8 away with a hefty swing. Then turned back to find he couldn’t see Cassandra anymore. There were so many of them, of these drones. SR had learned to hate these things.
He heard her yelling “Let me go!” He rammed through the drones smacking a sort of fog emanated from his shoulders as he walks forward. It surrounds a drone and shrinks crushing that drone. It goes over to the rest crushing them. Cassandra feels as if she landed on a cloud as the fog quickly goes to the floor below her and she floats to SR’s chest. Some of the fog wraps around her and SR forming a sort of baby harness like mold, attaching her to him.
SR-53 crouches down as he holds him arms to shield Cassandra. Then jumps off leaving a crater he jumps out the swarm to the side of a building. SR hears the drones chasing him and then jumps off the building, seemingly soaring through the air until he lands on a rooftop and doesn’t stop as he jumps away. Not wanting to lose momentum. He jumps to the side of a building and runs rapidly along the side leaving footprints in the wall and lands on the streets as he starts running. Getting faster and faster. He is at 60 mph and accelerating as he sees a small building ahead he holds his arms forward to shield Cassandra *CRASH CRASH CRASH* He sees a manhole in the street leading to the sewers.
He jumps over to it and raises his fist and he smashes a large hole in some shallow ground towards the sewers. And then jumps over into a dark alley. SR crouches down, and the fog lets Cassandra go. She has to lay on the floor as SR won’t let her get up. The fog forms a dumpster around the two as SR completely curls up around her. Not putting any of his weight on her.
Outside. Many of the drones fly into the sewer. Other fly about for a few minutes. Searching the area. One looks over the dumpster, and cannot see either of them. As SR is electromagnetically shielded. Cassandra’s heat signature is hidden. The drones after a few minutes disperse to search for the two.
The fog disperses and SR gets up off Cassandra. The fog seems to fly backing into SR through small pours in his back, behind his shoulders. Which then close. SR looks about standing straight up. Then back down Cassandra as he gets back down on all fours, like a gorilla. SR stands idol. Unaware of where to go. Or what to do exactly. He stops looking around. And then looks to Cassandra.
-
-Cassandra felt herself fall once more and land rather softly. She was confused by this but noticed her getting close to the robot that saved her before. She got what seemed like glued to his chest. She then said, “wait! Let me on your back!”
He was already off by the time she screamed that. She gripped on and silenced herself at each wall he hit or the ground. By the time they were in the dumpster, she saw it shielding them, this stuff that caught her. She heard the drones and covered her own mouth as to help not give their position away. She waited until it seemed they were safe, marked by him retracting the fog. She took a deep breath and watched him look back to her.
She sat herself up in the dumpster and looked at him. She thought for merely a second and said, “Can you understand me?”
She made sure to wait to see if he could comprehend, hoping for a nod yes or no. If not, this was going to be extremely difficult.-
-
SR stares at her for a while, an alien language appearing on his hud. It translates her language to one SR can actually understand. He slowly nods after about 10 seconds. Earth’s languages were rather well known amongst the universe. It is one of but many languages SR’s software can translate for him.
-
-Cassandra smiled and said, “Okay, I need you to help me get back to my home. It is…” She poked her head out of the dumpster to look at where they were then sunk back in. “It is that way,” She pointed to an approximate of North North East. “It’s not far but please don’t smash through it or those thing will be able to follow us.” She wanted to get back to the panic room and the lab. She was getting an idea of how to protect herself from such things and to modify it for better use. She could even help this fair mechanical beast get an upgrade or two once she examined it.-
-
He looks in the direction she points in, listening to her. When she finishes, he nods. And walks on all 4s to look outside the alley. He breathes out carbon dioxide in a steam like manner through the holes in the front of his head.
-
-Cassandra gives a slight exhale as she hefted herself out of the dumpster, arms flexing as she specifically focused on feeling the muscle. Her legs bent as they were propelled up and over the edge by their light spring. They bent once more to take her body’s impact on the ground. She then erected her stance as she gently let her arm fall from the dumpster as she allowed her heels to settle since she landed on her toes. She was alright in heels, knows how to do a lot in heels. They gave a light clack as she moved towards the mechanical beast and moved to gently place a hand relatively where the shoulder would be. Her voice was soft as her hair shifted over her left eye, “Would you allow me on top of you? We need to get there fast and you are much faster than me.” –
-
SR looks at her when she touches him, and there idly for a moment to translate. He then kneels on one knee and leans his shoulder down low enough. Then puts his opposite hand across himself to act as a stepping stone to his shoulder.
-
-Cassandra smiled and stepped up onto his hand since he offered. She pulled her dress up to place a leg on each side of him once she was up and held on tight. “Alright, move fast.” She gripped really tight and ducked low against him, knowing that aerodynamics is the main key in speed and she didn’t want to be a parachute to him.-
-
SR gets on all 4s and takes a stance similiar to a track runner and then runs forward, the force of him pushing off breaking concrete.He runs for a few moments to gain momentum and then takes a large leap about 400 feet into the air and lands on a building with a thud on all 4s, cracking the concrete a bit. He looks around for more drones for a moment. But it’s currently clear as they search other areas. then jumps roof to roof, skyscraper to skyscraper in large bounds. He made sure to soften his landing each time. Since that it is not the fall that kills, but the sudden stop of the fall. He sees a few drones in the distance pass a building and SR jumps to a wall In an alley. And then presumes to run at ground level on two feet.
It was rather clear SR though fast was not the flash. Or superman. He’s much more agile then he looks, as something as large as he is shouldn’t be able to move as quickly as he does. However, SR lacked the handling others with super speed have. To make sharp turns he has to run on all fours. He also doesn’t seem to be able to stop on a dime. Having to break. The faster he moved, the harder it was for him to stop. He was also heavy. Denting the concrete with his movement if he is not careful. SR however kept moving.
However. SR had no idea where he was going. She specified that she wanted to go back to her home. But SR had no idea where that home was. He waited for her to tell him stop as he simply was going generally Northeast as she instructed.
-
-Cassandra gripped on tight and despite the soft landings, she could feel her arms being pulled and pushed out of place. She was careful to keep herself in a position that they would always snap back in. She kept an eye out for drones but at the speed he was traveling, she had to look fast. She realized he stopped and she looked at the tall building still a couple blocks away. She said, “Look up, that tall building is where we’re going but we’re going down into it. Be careful.” She gripped on tight once more, her muscles getting stiff from holding on so tight.-
-
SR looked to where she pointed and jogged to that direction. He looked up on the front doors of the lexicorp building and looks around. He slows down a walk and his fog comes through pours in his neck. The fog, looks very snow like as it floats around him. It is already programmed to evade being inhaled. As SR walks and the fog follows. Hovering about him. The fog, being capable of forming any 3-D dimensional shape imaginable. And able to become solid, gaseous or liquid, some of it forms a sort of harness around Cassandra. SR being at times difficult to grip. The fog sort of holds her in place. If SR needed to dodge, or block something. He wouldn’t want Cassandra to be tossed off him.
SR navigated well through the area. He moved hurried but cautious. He actually sniffed the air occasionally to find out where she was. Being tall made it hard to navigate through the area due to his large size. He generally had to duck through small doors. Or make the door larger, by simply pushing the walls out.The ability of his feet to adhere to nearly any surface ensured SR didn’t simply push himself back when he did. SR has an idea of where to go as he navigates but not much.
-
-Cassandra was happy they made it indoors and the fact the fog let her relax her muscles a bit. She looked around and said, “There should be a broken elevator shaft in the hallway next to this room, go down it carefully. I have important stuff down there.” She felt that was enough but her paranoia made her ask for a precaution, “When we are down, I would like the place sealed off, but not so we can’t breathe. I have a feeling those drones still want me.” She gathered that from their persistence to gather her and not kill her on sight. She looked at her arm again and continued thinking on an idea she had.-
-
SR walks out the room and next to it he sees the elevator. He puts his arms on it and forces the doors open he looks down the shaft and then jumps to the opposing wall sticking to the wall with his hands. He looks down the shaft as he turns, him having all 4 limbs on the wall as he looks down it. Then he essentially walks downward on the wall. The fog ensues Cassandra does not fall. It takes about a minute and a half as he reaches the bottom of the shaft. He opens the door and walks into the sub floors of the building. SR looking around cautiously as he walks.
