MACHINE ON MACHINE CRIME

Well none of my fool professors at WarWings would ever accuse me of being a genius, but I’m smart enough to know that asking ATHENOS II what the heck is going on would be just plain stupid. Because sometimes ATHENOS II can be super kind and helpful but other times she can be downright psychotic. And based on everything that’s happened so far today, it sure seems like she’s in some sort of fiendish personal funk.

Maybe when the robot dropped down that hole in the floor she was catapulted out to the spaceship’s airlock?

And maybe ATHENOS II opened the airlock and used her muscular fleshy tentacles to shove Fribby out into space?

I picture Fribby’s chrome-flex body twirling through space, her lifeless red eyes studying the heavens.

Does ATHENOS II have that in her, to murder the robot?

I mean, there’ve been times in the past when ATHENOS II and Fribby have seemed like friends.

So is this possible: machine-on-machine crime?

Only one way to find out.
