Another robot suddenly rolled up to the bigger. He looked like a much smaller version of the sentinel. Black Hat followed, his eye twitching with anger. “Who are you?” he snarled at the human.
Carlos stopped, looking at the little robot with a little bit of caution. He then turned his attention to the other being. “I’m Carlos – I’m a scientist. I… wait, haven’t we done this before? Yeah, I think so… Anyway, I’m sorry about your robot. I can fix it, I promise.”
“I have no need for you. I have a scientist for that.” He huffed angrily. “Why are you still here? Do you have a death wish? Or are you just an idiot?” He snarled down at the human.
“I still think I oughtta fix it since I broke it,” Carlos said. “I’m just here studying a strange energy… I’m trying to figure out what it is because that’s what scientists do – figure out things that they don’t know.” He glanced at the other, smaller robot wearing a hat. It was cute – his creator really liked hats it seemed.
“Are you really that stupid? Wouldn’t it be obvious where this strange energy is coming from?” He hissed, eye twitching. The demon looked down at the small robot, who was trying to drag he bigger robot and failing. “Hmph. If you can drag that thing inside, I will allow you to fix it.” He said harshly, eye snapping back to the human.
Carlos just frowned at him. “I’m a scientist, so I’m the exact opposite of that,” he explained patiently. “And I didn’t say I didn’t know where the energy is coming from – I just wanted to study it without disturbing you.” He also looked to the smaller robot as it struggled and felt bad for it. But he knew not even he could move the robot either. “I have my toolkit in my car, actually,” he told the black-hat-wearing individual. “It should be relatively simple work for someone like me to go in and reset it.”
