Rosette - "Hitchhiking"

<snip>
"That was really stupid though. Electricity is dangerous. There's even a warning sign on the wall over there." The bug said. Indeed, there was a sign that read something like
**warning. High voltage, danger of death**
"Honestly, sticking a leg into a high voltage system is a really good way to kill yourself. Are you suicidal or something?" the bug asked, laughing at her.

"My friends will come and save me." She said to herself. She had friends, lots of them. She even had a family here on the ship, the entire crew had become her family.
She lay there for what felt like an eternity, each moment that passed had her closer to the edge between life and death. Electricity has always been a dangerous thing, enough to kill anyone.
Well, at least she'd given the others a chance to get through the ship without being killed by the defense turrets. Hopefully Mk.10 would be able to turn off the rest, and open the doors to let everyone in.

"What should we do with her?" A skutter bleeped in the binary language. A few other robots around her chirped in, what resulted was a mess of crosstalk and data collisions. After one of the robots with a built in Router decided to make use of it, the conversation went much smoother.
"She's not one of the inmates, we should get her to the medibay!" A peewee came up with. Bleeping in agreement, they half carried, half dragged her towards the medibay...

"I did have a beautiful restaurant here, but no! Now I just have A STRIP CLUB!!" Jay was doing his best not to burst out
laughing. Efof was not trying to stop himself from laughing at all and was now rolling around in a puddle of his own tears. "Mr Chrysler! I do not just have a strip club. It would appear I have a strip club that is now IN RUINS!.. Get off me woman, this is no time for a lapdance!... Why oh why is it always me that ends up with the shit end of the sti-"
Jay switched off his comms unit and calmed down his giggles.
"Come on." He said to a still hysteric Efof. "We'd best get him to the medi-bay."
</snip2>
"yes, I'm sure the medibay is this way. The wireless signal is telling all of us." The peewee replied to a now thoroughly confused, and rather obsolete bot. As they rounded the corner, they came face to face with Jay and Efof, carrying Micky.
"Alert! Alert!" Called out a peewee in the human tongue. "The Inmates have escaped! Suspected of the destruction of Holly, Lethal Force highly recommended!" They dropped Rosette in the corridor, and retreated to a corner, which they could use as cover while they tried to kill the intruders.
Jay looked at Efof, who was holding Micky up with two hands, picking out some earwax with a third, and scratching the back of his head with the fourth.
"Stop smegging scratching already! We need to get out of here!"
