His surprising physical resources helped make us more than an even match for Saxton and Saboteur.
His strategy turned the tide of the match in our favour.
Perhaps he is the genius he claims to be.
Perhaps he is a worthy master after all.
S.H.I.T is standing in a vast open space of almost pure blackness, standing is probably the wrong term, floating would better describe it, it doesnt appear worried however, such things being beyond the capabilities of a robot. If it was possible to see an expression, it might possibly be one of sheer neutrality. As it stands in the nothing, it is surrounded by a large amount of floating orbs, made up of seemingly nothing but light, they come in three different colours, red, green and blue, there are only two blue orbs as opposed to the many others of other colours, some are lighter or darker, but always in those three colours, they are hovering around S.H.I.T as a sort of protective layer against the outside world.
S.H.I.T reaches out and grasps one of the orbs, it doesnt put up a fight, this one is a very dark red, almost like blood. The machine opens it in half, cupping each half in the palms of its hands. Suddenly the other orbs disappear, replaced by images. A chair flying towards S.H.I.T, the machine catching the chair out of instinct, before having it kicked into its face with such a force that it knocks the robot over. This is replaced by an image of S.H.I.T and Alhazred assaulting the perpetrator of the initial attack, one Steven Kurtesy on the following night. This is replaced by Ty Burna making the Gauntlet Match against Kurtesy for next week. The images die away, leaving S.H.I.T surrounded by the orbs again.
It reaches out again, this time it grabs a lighter red orb, it repeats the process, this orb replays S.H.I.Ts memories of playing video games with Alhazred, discussing strategy for their upcoming match against Saxton and Saboteur. The images fade, the orbs return. This time it takes another red orb, so light that it is almost pink, it replays the memory of being escorted through S.H.I.T Industries by two security guards, being taken into an office and meeting Gustav for the first time.
The images fade out. The orbs return.
S.H.I.T reaches out, this time it grabs a green orb, a picture of Alhazred appears, along with information that S.H.I.T has stored of the man. Lines and lines of green text displayed in front of the robot. Every little detail S.H.I.T has picked up is in here somewhere. Scrolling through S.H.I.T locates the piece of writing it was looking for, it says arrogant blowhard. S.H.I.T scribbles this out with a quick movement of its finger, before replacing it with Genius (possibly insane!)
The images fade, the orbs return.
S.H.I.T turns in the air a full 180 degrees, it locates another green orb, this time Steven Kurtesy appears, a full profile picture and information stored, with full analysis of the mans moves set and techniques, much the same as Alhazred. With a quick movement of its finger S.H.I.T draws cross hairs on the picture of Kurtesy, the point of which meets right in the forehead of the World Heavywieght Champion, before fading out the images. The orbs return.
The match is made, the opponent is Steven Kurtesy!
S.H.I.T pulls another green orb from the blackness, this time a picture of Chris K.O appears, with full profile information, exactly the same as the previous two. S.H.I.T scrolls down, locating the part it was looking for, it is under allegiances, it reads Ally of Chaos!
Now it reads Possible liability!
The images fade again, the orbs return.
S.H.I.T reaches out and grabs a blue orb, opening it like it did the others, this time it is met by a red warning light, with a line of text, which says simply File Corrupted!
Something used to be here!
The machine stares at the image for a long moment.
What was it?
Giving up, it fades the images, selecting the other blue orb, this one very dark indeed, bordering on a shade of purple. S.H.I.T grabs this orb far less tenderly than it had selected the others, almost cracking it open. Another picture of Mister Alhazred greets it, this time with a cheesy smile on his face and a pose which makes him point at the watcher of the image like a bit of a douche bag, a line of text below the picture.
Serve Alhazred! Destroy all!
The Machine nods simply, unlike the other files these blue ones cannot be changed internally, a weapon cannot choose its allegiance, it is governed by the hands it falls into. It appears to be in the hands of Mister Alhazred. Who himself is in the hands of Chaos. This is how it is.
The images fade, as do the returning orbs. S.H.I.T returns to the land of the living, not that S.H.I.T considers itself alive, but the squashy Humans certainly were alive. For now anyway.
It seems to take the robot a while to get it's vision to clear and for it to get a bearing on its surroundings.
It is in a room, there is furniture and everything, S.H.I.T doesnt take the time to investigate, it could be a bedroom, or even a kitchen, however its mostly single track mind is occupied by another thing. There was something about that corrupted file, something which seemed like it should've been important. That is if anything seems like anything at all to S.H.I.T.
No matter! It mumbled to itself, shaking it off.
Steven Kurtesy is the matter at hand, he will be dealt with, as per the instructions of Ty Burna and Mister Alhazred.
The Machine paused for a while.
The matter of Chris K.O. He must be watched, closely.
S.H.I.T didnt want much out of its existence, the total annihilation of all life forms on the planet would be nice, but the only thing it
really needed was a purpose, without a purpose it would go to rust. It decided to seek out the only thing that gives it that purpose, the purpose which prevents rust.
He was probably in the next room, playing video games.
Probably.
Humans can be erratic and unpredictable though.
It just isnt natural.
