Champions of Battle: AD7 – Awakening #28

Tosca walked off disappointed.  She grabbed a hand truck from the storage room just as Doctor Yu suggested.  She had to think of something that would get the sphere droid to open.  That is, if it opened. Wait.  That would change everything!  With this new idea in her head, she rushed back to her work station.  There was a possibility that she was going in the wrong direction with this project.  She had to get back to test her theory.

Adrianne watched as Tosca rushed off.  Who knows what she was thinking about now?  It was only good that she didn’t stay disappointed for long.  She must admit having AD7 react to a working droid had come to mind, but the risk was too high.  For all they knew it could be a bomb or a mind control device.  Better not take that risk.

Doctor Adrianne Yu turned back to the other side of the thick protected window just in time to see their test subject turning back to the targets.  AD7 regained her fighting stance and began attacking the shattered remains of the targets with renewed vigor.  Adrianne just realized that during her brief conversation with Tosca, she had heard no thunderous smashing from AD7 in the testing room.

Was she just watching us?  Adrianne could help but play with the thought.  AD7 had been helpful.  Thanks to her, they had enough information to engineer many weapons and helpful devices.  Still, she could be learning about them as well.  What would she use that information for?

It would make sense if AD7 eventually tried to escape.  No matter how nice she was to them, it didn’t change the fact that she was a prisoner.  The mind behind the Mech War had to be quite cleaver.  She could be plotting to take over the facility.

“I’m just thinking crazy,” Adrianne said to herself.  It all made little sense.  There was no way for AD7 to even know where she was.  There were no national symbols in the facility.  The Mech Fortress was utterly destroyed.  Even if she escaped, where would she go?

Still, why was she looking this way just now?  The observation room was cut off from the testing facility.  Adrianne could control everything in the testing room with no immediate danger to herself.

She kept watch with many cameras and a very thick window high enough on the wall that no one could see her torso.  There was no way AD7 could have heard them or seen anything in the observation area.  Still, it was safe to add extra guards and watches to AD7’s apartment.

AD7 had helped them greatly by only looking at the circuitry from destroyed droids.  Adrianne was eventually planning to have her interact with a functioning droid.  It seemed like a risky idea at the time.  Now, it was crazy.  Adrianne took notes to cancel all future experiments between AD7 and working devices.  Hopefully this precaution would be enough to prevent a catastrophe.
