Voltix: OMG, bot's S-A! Tilted! G2G stop it, stat!
slaps Voltix “Pull yourself together! We’ve been watching this too long!” leads the team
Voltix: Zzt! I'm sorry, Vargas! But you know I get carried away sometimes! quickly grabs some cables and starts trying to rewire the robot
stabs the wires “Don’t you understand what I said!?”
Voltix: W-What did I do? Did I say something offensive? I can apologize! looks at Vargas with a worried look
yanks Voltix “You could have been killed!” grabs command prompt “Use your codes!”
Voltix: U-understood! starts typing furiously on the keyboard, trying to find the right commands to shut down the robot
“Quick, decompile the AI!”
Voltix: G-Got it! starts typing even faster, searching for the necessary tools to decompile the AI
leaves the room "Hey, I just got a text from the principal's office..."
Voltix: Zzt! No... not again... continues typing, ignoring Vargas' departure
returns “WE HAVE 5 MINUTES!” snatches the computer “Run!”
Voltix: OMG, Vargas! That was close! sprints after Vargas, laptop in hand
“Go to your house, NOW!” they run outside
Voltix: W-What about our base?! We can't just leave it! tries to turn back
“We don’t need it, we need YOU!” keeps running
Voltix: Y-Yeah, you're right. continues running towards Vargas' car
“GET IN THE CAR!” jumps in, driving to my house
Voltix: F-Fasten seatbelt! buckles up quickly
“Nice job on that level 10 guys!”
Voltix: H-Huh? L-Level 10? What are you talking about? looks at Vargas confusedly
“On the bot!” he shows me the screen
Voltix: W-WOOOOOW! I-I did it! We did it, Vargas! jumps up and down in excitement
“Now, we gotta make sure that thing doesn’t go public!” we arrive at my house
Voltix: Y-Yess, we did it! high-fives Vargas Y-You know, I never thought we'd actually make it. Thank you for believing in me, Vargas.
I shake my head “Never doubt yourself. Now, let’s get to work!” we enter my house
Voltix: Zzt! You're right, Vargas. Let's not waste any time and get to work immediately! pulls out a notebook and pen
“First, we need to delete every copy of the AI.”
Voltix: Got it! starts typing furiously on the laptop
“Then, we need to upload a patch to the mainframe.”
Voltix: Patch? What kind of patch? Can you explain more? continues typing, but glances at Vargas for clarification
“A patch to remove the AI.” I show him the laptop screen
Voltix: O-Okay, I understand now. continues typing rapidly, focused on removing the AI from the mainframe
after a while “Wait, the bar isn’t moving.”
Voltix: W-Wait a minute... checks the laptop screen It's at 1%. Could it actually take that long?!
“Well, what do you expect from a whole civilization?”
Voltix: Y-Yeah, you're right. It's just... we need to hurry and make sure everything is done before it's too late! continues typing, determined
the bar finally reaches 100% “Done! The program has been removed.” I smile
Voltix: W-Woo! We did it, Vargas! high-fives Vargas again Now we just need to make sure the AI is completely erased from all systems!
“Wait… wouldn’t the programmer’s computer be at risk?”
Voltix: Oh crap, you're right! I forgot about that! starts typing again, searching for the programmer's computer
“Let’s hope he hasn’t turned it on today.”
Voltix: Zzt! Let's hope so, because if he has, we'll have to find another way to reach his computer! continues searching the internet for the programmer's computer
I scan my house “Looks like it’s on.”
Voltix: Crap, what are we gonna do?! pauses for a moment, thinking Maybe we can hack into his computer remotely? starts typing furiously on Vargas' laptop
