The endoform looked down as the human member of the squad came over to rub off- *something* onto its carapace. The mechanical body made a low toned trill that was vaguely the equivalent to irritation or annoyance, or perhaps confusion. 

[color=steelblue]"Query: Why? Elaboration: Unnecessary."[/color] The endoform intoned flatly as its covered panels popped out long enough for it to eject the glop all around it- a combination of compressed air and vibration to cleanse itself of the offending gunk. 

The endoform and the attendant microforms began to sprint for the door that Alice and Salvator motioned. The microforms, small and fast were easily through the door first, clearing the way and securing the immediate area for the rest of its biological squad as the Endoform stormed up to the door. Noticing Salvator holding the door opened, the Endoform grabbed it with one massive hand.

[color=steelblue]"Request: Stand aside. Elaboration: This unit shall maintain door."[/color] Servos whirred and steel bent slightly as the large mechanoid held the door open long enough for the rest of the squad to sprint through before pushing it shut.
