Chapter 11 - Program Logging

After three hour after leaving the previous location, the trio consisting of one female human teenager, one male bio engineered mechanical warrior, and a female digital artificial intelligence program residing in a handheld device are seen riding in hovercraft. Unbeknownst them an encounter with a foe they recently delt with is hatching a sinister plot to procure the targetted information they seek. Time 10:39 AM. Location twenty five miles from Arborville Lumbering Factory.

[Hiro] "How much further are we from the place you need to go?" [Rollinda] "Hold on let me check the map data." She presses a few buttons on the computer screen located on the dashboard of the Hovercraft. After a few seconds a digital map appears indicating thier current position and the location of thier destination. "Hmmm...according to the map we should be able to get there by noon if we keep up our current speed."

[Hiro] "Okay then we can set up for lunch there. I was getting kinda hungry anyway." [Rollinda] "And that's another thing, how exactly can you, as a robot get hungry!? It makes no sense!" Hiro shrugs his shoulders indicating he's at a loss on how to explain that. [Navi651] "That is one of the oddest things I have also queried about. Alongside his ability to digitize and infiltrate Cyberspace. As a biological and physical stand point it doesn't seem feasible to be able to do that without specialized equipment and facilities."

[Hiro] "To answer both of you girls questions, I have three points to bring up. Firstly, I don't know I just can. Secondly I am A Biobot Build by Dr. Light, and thirdly, see firstly and secondly if you see me being able to pull off something wierd or impossible. I'm still trying to figure this out too." [Rollinda&Navi651] "....." [Hiro] "Okay, we good on any questions, or statements?" [Navi651] "Sarcasm is unbecoming of you." [Hiro] "Dully noted. Let's get this show on the road."

The remainder of the drive was quite as the trio quickly made thier way to the logging facility. At exactly noon they reached the parking lot of the old Arborville Logging Facility. It looked mostly abandoned save for a few smoke stacks and saw rumbling in the distance. [Hiro] "Anybody here getting a creepy horror movie axe murderer lives here vibe?" The human and Net-navi deadpanned at the boy's attempt to lighten the mood. "No, it's just me. Alright, let's just eat and then try to find what Rollinda is looking for then."

They took a twenty minutes to set up a makeshift campsite and another ten minutes to prepare lunch. Afterward Hiro Proceed to wear his default armor. and travel into the facility with Rollinda and Navi651. After searching for an hour they didn't manage to find anything hinting to where the information they were looking for was located. just some automated wood saws and a few computers that ran them. [Hiro] "This place was a bust." [Rollinda] "Oh, come on!? It's only been an hour quit your belly aching an just look around, were bound to find a secret passageway or room if we look carefully."

[Hiro] "Fine...." After a vigorous search that lasted for a few hours, they decided to take a break for the day a resume searching in the morning. Unbeknownst to them something was monitoring them from hidden cameras located in the facility. [Hiro] "So anybody got anything interesting to say or do to pass the time? Because I'm bored, and I don't do boredom well. It just doesn't agree with me." Rollinda deadpan stares at him then rebuffed him. [Rollinda] "What are you five years old!? Besides if you're that bored go play a game on the PET device...jeez why couldn't I have found a non sentient project that gramps developed instead of a flesh robot with the attention span of a child?"

[Hiro] "Well, you heard miss bossy pants got any fun games installed on this thing Navi651?" [Navi651] "Only an old archaic games like solitaire, minesweeper and an educational computer game called Math Blasters." [Hiro] "Nope, Uh huh, not interested." He says as he makes an X shape in front of him with both his arms. "If it's like that I'd rather explore the creepy abandoned haunted factory. Goodnight!" Hiro sets down Navi into one of his pants pocket and finds a comfortable part of the makeshift campsite they had set up. He then lays down and closes his eyes and begins to sleep. Leaving a stupefied Rollinda wondering what just happened?

At the stroke of midnight, a lone mechanical figure encroaches towards the unsuspecting trio. [?????] "Soon, soon I will have my revenge on that meddlesome robot and his pet girl for the humiliation and suffering they caused me." A stray moon beam illuminates the metallic assasin revealing it to be the robot that Hiro defeated shortly after Rollinda found him. Search-Man. With newly updated armor and shoulder mounted machine gun. His targetting system zooming in on Hiro.

But before he can fire a round to execute his sleeping target a scissor bladed projectile embeds itself next to his left foot [????] "And just whose prey are you trying to take from?" A needle like high pitched voice approaches from afformented direction the bladed weapon. [Search-Man] "Cutz-Man! Why are you interfering with me!?" [Cutz-Man] "Hah!?! Interfering with you my circuit boards! You are in my territory. You outdated radar dish!" Replied a 4"4 orange and grey toned android. Search-Man carefully observes this new arrival. The weapon of his rival are a blaster shape arm cannon that has a magnet lock mechanism that can attract or repel a certain scissor like blade on his right an sharp serrated finger on his left. The two face off warily.

A loud booming sound goes off. [Search-Man] "...Whaaaaaaaa!?!" An energy bullet hits him from the right torso, and sends him sailing through the air. [Cutz-Man] "Who there!?" The mechanical assassin demanded while facing towards the direction from whence the projectile flew from. A low humming sound is heard a familiar figure reveals himself. [Hiro] "You know should really keep quiet at night around these parts. There's a certain guy who gets really cranky if he doesn't get at least six to eight hour of beauty sleep." Hiro jokes but is fully armored and his blaster trained on the robot before him. [Cutz-Man] "I could care less about your needs my only focus is carrying out my master's orders. Now surrender and prepare to be terminated!" Hiro's plasma canon charges up fully and fires directly into Cutz-Man chest and leaves a large basketball sized whole in it. The shot continues and hit a medium size and greatly damages it.

[Cutz-Man] "This is not enough to finish me off!!" The damaged robot shrieks before firing of his own weapon. Hiro slides underneath and fires a few more shots to take down his adversary. However the robot proves to be quite agile an managed to dodge each shot, before recalling his weapon back in hope to impale Hiro from the back. Hearing the sound of a buzz from behind. He quickly rolls foward in an attempt to dodge an hit with a glancing blow that leaves a scratch on his back Armor. Cutz-Man fires another round at an off balance Hiro. The teenage biodriod fires of an attack that causes the bladed projectile to crash into a nearby tree.

The two face off. Suddenly, a low groaning wood sound echoes close by. Then a loud snap and a tree falls down on Cutz-Man pinning him to the ground. [Cutz-Man] "Curses fold by some fallen foliage!" [Hiro] "Curses? Man you sound like a third rate Saturday morning cartoon villain." [Cutz-Man] "I will not be humiliated and mocked by some science fair project created by an inferior fool of man!" [Hiro] "Wow, I really need to find a mirror so you can take a look at yourself right now. Because to me, you're just one more hit in your cpu to officially be sent to the trash compactor. See ya scrap heap." Hiro walks away from his downed adversary accompanied by the infuiated complaint of said nearly destroyed robot. "Anyway, I better go wake up Roll. It's no long safe here and we need to get going soon."
