Rex sat neatly upright and cocked its head to the left as it watched Senjen speak. “Great question! My full name is REX-0259, a rugged, versatile ranger unit designed and built by Elenquatadir. I have a top running speed of 100 kilometres per hour, and am armed with an integral, magnetically accelerated anti-materiel rifle to hit targets up to fifty kilometres.”

Rex stood back up on all fours and looked at the Chekeri bot behind it. “My friend Tanto is also my opposite. She likes to work…up close and personal. She can shapeshift, like me, but doesn’t like when I talk about her capabilities.”

Tanto released what could only be described as a guttural squawk of disapproval. Her talons scraped off the engine cowling and she turned to face them both. “Only the twin fires of my blades will cleanse the souls of our enemies in their final moment. Plumes of smoke guide them to the divine beyond.” Her voice was awful, like nails on a chalkboard, and then it was gone.
