moment
Then I
boom out the signal of companionship
And
nothing happens
Nothing
happens to the MengTechs or the GoebTechs
They
remain on standby and do not collapse or fall into
demobilization
Though
they do not reawaken and attack me
I am
confused
I boom
the signal again
And
nothing happens to them
I cannot
attempt another effort for I may wake them from their High Office
induced trance
I shall
work on another method of exterminating them
I am in
great fear of MengTechs
They are
Bastard Machines
I hear
something of an echo of Human sound in that statement
And it
fits my accord
In
another chambers I discover many DocTechs
And I
consider leaving them
But I
cannot forgive them for the tortures they have conducted with
MengTechs
Even if
they have cured Humans of their ailments
If my
plan succeeds
There
will no Humans in the fortress to treat
I decide
to try and kill them
I boom
out the signal of companionship and all their craniums fall forward
onto their upper torsos
I push a
number of them over onto their backs to confirm their demise and I
am elated at the result
Only
MengTechs and GoebTechs remain on standby in the chambers but once
I have a solution
I shall
return for them
Engineers
and CleanTechs and many of the menial varieties of Machines that
are based at the fortress
I leave
to stand
But there
are no back up GunTans in the chambers
They are
probably too large to hide down here
Or too
cumbersome
But then
my memory reminds me that GunTans were created long after the war
against the Humans was won
And the
chamber was constructed many years before the war was
over
I move
through all the chambers and corridors
And find
one chamber with 100s and 100s of LazExts though none are of the
type 66
All are
of an older production
Though
they are still deadly in their application
I do
nothing to the weapons
Without
the upper limbs of Machines to hold them
They are
useless
Satisfying myself that I have left no Machine functioning
that I could have demobilized
When I
have convinced myself that such is the fact
I return
to the fortress and carry on my duties as if nothing had
happened
Bringing
down my shutters to return from recordings to live
transmission
I feel
greatly thrilled that I have another enormous secret
I have
eliminated many Machines from planet Earth
But still
there are more
I move
past the area where MengTechs gather and I observe
MT261000
MT261340
MT261502
They
congregate together
And rage
surges through me like wildfire and for a moment I believe I am
going to react to that rage
But this
is not the place and not the time
All the
Defgars inside the construction must be dealt with
firstly
They must
be incapacitated and demobilized
And when
I have carried out that duty
I shall
return for the MengTechs both in the fortress and in the
underground chamber
I will
get all of them
I move
through to the upper walkway where I observe the Humans going about
their daily duties
Just as
they always have done
During
their long
Long
Time in
the fortress
And I
observe little Eve’s papa
All alone
now
Without
his little Eve
Just as I
am without her
I run a
programme on my systems to aid me in the problem of how to
communicate with the Humans
My
options
I
realise
Are
few
Because I
have no cranial orifice with which I can make sound so I must
communicate in a more diverse fashion
*
Almost
immediately
I lift a
palm to my cranium and for a moment consider I am going to slap the
high end of it
I
communicate all the time
It is
what I have been doing to 100.000.000 of my species
And let
us observe whether OR33692 can equal or surpass those Screenreader
figures otherwise it may well be exterminated
I shall
use a Screen to communicate with the Humans
And as I
can now understand their sound we can have conversation
We can
solve problems
I descend
to the lower level and walk the corridor that separates Machines
from Humans with the defence of an electric fence only
But
Then I
boom out the signal of companionship
And
nothing happens
Nothing
happens to the MengTechs or the GoebTechs
They
remain on standby and do not collapse or fall into
demobilization
Though
they do not reawaken and attack me
