‘Citizen 4561-2407-9485, Cassandra Wells.’ The A-1 repeated, its voice calm and monotone, despite the increasing aggressiveness of the stance of the soldiers flanking it. ‘You are under arrest. Do not resist.’

“Hey, you’ve got the wrong person.” One of Cassie’s gunners called out indignantly, taking a step in front of her. It was Campo- the newest member of Cassie’s crew. The crewman was tall and broad shouldered, but green as grass- having only been a part of the crew for the last month, and had taken a liking to his pilot.

‘Stand aside.’ The A-1 boomed, to which the crew gunner resisted defiantly.

“No, I’m telling you you’ve got the wrong-” The gunner never had the chance to finish his sentence, as the A-1 grabbed the gunner, its claw-like manipulator lifting the tall man off the ground by the front of his fatigues, and throwing him to the side over a dozen meters across the hangar.

‘Cassandra Wells. You are under arrest. Surrender immediately, you will not be asked again.’ 

[i]”Run Cassie, Run.”[/i]

After the display she just witnessed, she didn’t need to be told twice. With one last glimmer of hope she turned to the A-1 droid. “Invoking my rights as a member of the USF Peacekeeper corps and a citizen of the UN I demand to know the charges for my arrest under Article 56B Subsection G. I have not broken any terms of my contract to the U.S.F nor any of the laws outlined by the U.N.”

She heard an alarm at the end of the hangar and knew what that meant. It was about three hundred metres away, she would have about two minutes. That was an easy run, at least. It was now a days, she still didn’t quite understand what was going on but this voice in her headset seemed to understand what was going on. At the very least it seemed to know that she was different than what she knew about. Maybe somehow this unit knew what was going on… That wasn’t arrestable was it?

‘Cassandra Wells, you have been declared a threat to public safety by the UN. You will come with me.’ 

With that, Artie stepped forward, and reached out its arm. Lifting its wrist, there was the rapid whining sound of an electrical motor, and a cord erupted from the A-1’s wrist.

The cord erupted, but as it did Cassie took off, on foot. In a blur of an eye she ran around A-1, everything moved in slow motion for her. She wasn’t quite sure at this point if she sped up or if everything else slowed down for her. Moved around the A-1 she took off in the direction of the opening hangar...
