Hatbot bounced again, pleased about this news. “Hatbot.” The small robot looked up at his boss.

“Yes sir?”

“I shall be inside. Watch over this pathetic fool and make sure he
does nothing funny.” Black Hat glared at the human. “Have him bring the
sentinel back when finished.”

“Yes sir!” Hatbot saluted with a grin.

Carlos hummed lowly. “The only one doing the funny stuff here is you, Señor Sombrero Negro hombre,” he murmured in a very low voice.

He immediately got to work looking around and figuring out the components he was looking at. There was a lot going on inside, he could tell. Vocal components, what looked like large coolant lines complete with a hat-shaped pump right where a heart would be on a typical human, large servos and power cords… oh, it was beautiful. He could honestly spend all day in there.

But he had a job to do so he started to look at the wires to make sure nothing was burned and broken.

Black Hat strode back into the hat shaped manor as Hatbot curiously watched the other work. This stuff was always so interesting to him! He loved to watch his creator work when he could.

Carlos hummed to himself and gently moved wires around as he inspected. He found a manual control panel further in the cavity and hummed and nodded to himself.

“I see, I see,” he said. “Okay… so far nothing looks like it’s been knocked loose from the fall. So all I have to do is activate the start-up sequence.”

Carlos got a smaller screwdriver from his bag and he started to turn the connections he found, making sure each bolt was tight. Once done he reached in to get ready to flip the switch back on.

“Alright… let’s see how he sounds.”

Carlos flipped it and retracted his hand before sitting back and watching the robot. He listened for any crackling or any rattling, which would signal that something was out of place.

Hat Bot watched anxiously and then tilted his head when a rattling sound came from him. “What’s that?”

Carlos frowned. He reached in and shut off the switch to abort the reboot before pulling out his phone and shaking it to turn on the light. “Something’s not connected,” he told the little robot as he shined it inside and started scrutinizing wires. “Or… something broke when he fell.” It sounded like it came from deep within the robot’s chest cavity. Carlos wasn’t sure he’d be able to reach it. “Dammit… Here, hold this,” he then said, offering the little robot his phone to shine the light.

Hatbot curiously took the phone and shone the light for him. “I can call Dr.flug? He created us, he’ll know what’s wrong!” He said confidently.

Carlos reached his hand in to push aside wires and get a better look. He glanced at the little robot. “Uh… how would he feel about me having shorted out your, uh… buddy here?” he asked.

The smaller hatbot fell back and huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. Black Hat rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest. “Fine. Just fix the damn thing so it can return to work.”

Carlos gave the other man a small, thankful smile and a nod. He turned and hurried to the car – the robot thankfully had collapsed only about fifteen meters from it so Carlos didn’t have to strain his lungs or his muscles any more than he had to in the short walk. He used his keys to unlock the car and then grabbed a blue and yellow toolbag from the passenger’s seat of the car.

He came back and stood over the giant robot, looking for its access point. “Okay, let’s see where the access panel to this big boy is,” he murmured to himself.

The smaller robot perked up when he saw the tools. He bounced excitedly on his wheel. “It’s here sir!” He said, patting the robot’s chest with his small clawed hand.

Carlos blinked at the robot, surprised that it was able to speak. “Oh – thanks, buddy!” he said with a smile. He went to kneel next to the large robot and started to determine how to open the panel located right under the bow-tie. “I’m sorry about what happened – I’ll get him up again and he should be ready for your scientist to give him new instructions.”

Carlos got a screwdriver from his bag and used it to pry at the edge of the panel and it popped open.

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.”

Black
Hat was now outside, watching this with the utmost amusement. He
laughed loudly, smirking widely. This was extremely entertaining!

Wha – laughing? Carlos was hearing laughing. Another lap around the front gate of the mansion and Carlos could see a tall figure out of the corner of his eye. He recognized it as the top-hat man he met yesterday. And he was laughing at Carlos getting chased by a possibly malicious robot. That was so ill-mannered of him.

But Carlos had other things to focus on. Like the math problem in his head…

“Hey, robot! Can you do calculations?” he called back to the metal behemoth behind him.

But either the robot couldn’t, or he just didn’t want to talk, the robot didn’t answer him. But instead, he sped up, clawed hands reaching for the human he was trying to catch. Black Hat smirked wider and watched, eager to see the human be caught.

Carlos yelped and tried to go faster. He could practically
feel the inches between the tails of his labcoat and the thing’s claws. Ugh!
Okay – maybe something simpler?

“This sentence is
false!” Carlos screeched.

The paradox somehow worked. And, to Black Hat’s shock and horror, the sentinel froze and began glitch out before its circuits fried. Now Black Hat was beyond pissed off, shaking with rage.

Carlos slowed to a jog before finally stopping. He bent over with his hands on his knees as he gasped for breath. “Okay… gotta work out more,” he murmured to himself.

Still panting he stood up straight and looked back at the robot. He felt bad about breaking it. He checked his danger meter and found that it was in the orange zone. Not immediate danger, it seemed… he started walking toward the robot, keeping an eye on the meter. He wanted to see if he could reset it and send it back to its charging dock without hurting it any more.
