Discovery

On edge and on the run trying to catch up with the mirage thugs who’d just a few hours ago robbed them of most of their supplies, all of their nite-dust, and kidnapped R.O.B., they failed to notice the grinding of metal armor and the rumbling of giant mechanized footsteps as they rounded the canyon corner. The sentry had them dead to rights. They took cover and braced themselves to go out in a blaze of glory, better to be blown to pieces then to rot in the hell that is a New Teras prison block.

Before their metal executioner could open fire and before the siblings could charge towards their deaths something very unexpected occured. Quiet little Sec was standing up staring the bot straight in the eye.

I don’t think a sentry bot can feel fear exactly, this was more of an aggressive hesitation. The desert floor exploded around her as rocks the size of hover skiffs floated in the air above her head.
