Morlatech war machines don’t have names anymore. They did at
one point, they were even people. But over the years, the training, and the
rest strips them of identity. They only have the goal, whatever it is for the
day. The bots encroaching on Riobeck’s shuttle had one mission. Elimination.
They were tasked with annihilated anyone from the rival corporation, and to put
down any resistance they might encounter.
The machines lacked emotions, merely existing as organic ai.
But it would be a safe assessment the four of them could be considered
confident as they marched on the downed shuttle. They had one scan of a life
form that was not armed, the shuttle itself had no on board weaponry and they
were miles from any military force. With confidence came lack of discipline even
among the machines. In anticipation of destroying the shuttle with ordinance
they had preloaded the missiles into their firing apparatus, normally not done
because of the danger of the unloaded ordinance exploding under fire. Which is
exactly what happened when Deliah’s long shot round collided with the
ordinance. All four bots exploded in a fiery mess of parts.
