[color=red]TARGET FLEEING[/color]

Almost immediately, Artie began his pursuit routines. As a robot, Artie was perfectly capable of keeping up with any fleeing pedestrian- and his size and strength allowed him to keep up with anything short of an Olympic athlete. However, when dealing with anomalies, criminals and other targets, pursuit often led to drastic elevation of conflict. As a part of his programming, Artie's pursuit routine was designed to help reduce the potential for elevated conflict- as such, Artie would follow and chase the target at a short distance until the target ran out of energy- it was almost inconceivable that Artie would run out of power before the human did. 

[color=lightblue]"Citizen 4561-2407-9485, Renat Emlyn. You are under arrest. Do not resist."[/color] Artie repeated as he followed Renat through the streets, his robotic voice perfectly flat and calm despite the large amount of physical activity that was taking place.

At the same time, Artie reached into Mars' network and found several X3's in the local area. Selecting the four closest to the fleeing target, he slaved the X3's to his own personal systems. Almost instantly, he was able to "see" what each of the X3's saw, and simultaneously control their exact motions- almost as though he was in their 'bodies'.

Now effectively in control of 5 bodies, Artie continued pursuing the target at a distance, finally following him into an alleyway, where the target slowed, and placed his hands in the air- A gesture indicating that one is unarmed and unable to reach at any hidden weapons, therefore implying their surrender. As Artie caught up with the human, the X3's he was controlling appeared on the other side of the alley, effectively cutting off his other method of escape. The now 5 machines approached Renat, rifles raised threateningly, despite Artie's orders to take the human alive.

[color=lightblue]"Citizen 4561-2407-9485, Renat Emlyn. You are under arrest. Do not resist."[/color] Artie repeated for what must have been the tenth time. Leveling his rifle at the anomaly, Artie continued. [color=lightblue]"The human body has a minimum reaction time of .11 seconds, and a maximum theoritical speed of 65 Kilometers Per Hour. Taking into account the reaction time of the X3 and X4 models, as well as the 2000 meters per second velocity of the round fired from the ACR-10, I estimate your chances of avoiding my weapon at 0 percent."

"Do not resist, and you shall not be harmed."[/color]

With that, one of the X3's behind Renat approached the boy with a set of stun-cuffs.
