[quote]He laughed quietly to himself. He was pretty sure he knew this voice. He glanced back at Kat. "Hey, Kat. Is it possible to use robots as a, uhhhh, radio?" [/quote]

Kat had also heard the voice, albiet faintly, from the bot she had just left behind in the surgery room. "Yeah, easily especially for bots like this- they're all wirelessly linked to a government network, makes it easier to roll out software updates and co-ordinate in emergencies."

It wouldn't surprise her that they would act as speakers in times of emergency too- you were never far from a robot in Periphery, so you could be sure your message would get through.

Vincent had already headed out to speak to the bot. For a second she was torn to go with Vincent- she  recognised that voice over the radio.

But the high pitched scream, and the response she could hear outside the wall, put Kat straight back into high alert. [i]Now is not the time get distracted on Bots![/i] She thought to herself, irritably.

Ducking her head round the door. Kat looked over at Vincent and the bot.

"Vincent, we need get moving to the others. I've no idea what that Grit just did, but it doesn't sound like we're going to enjoy it."

Walking up to the bot, she put her hands on its head, twisted the head and janked it clean off. It came off smooth- the base was clean metal, apart from an area onto which a circuit board was burnished in the middle- the docking point.

"This thing has a small powerpack in its head, it's so it can be transferred to more specialised surgical bodies if needed without shutting down." She explained. "Won't last long without being reattached to another body, maybe ten minutes- so I would avoid being too chatty."

She flashed a grin, adrenaline pumping through her as she handed Vincent the head. 

"Now let's go!" 

Kat set off, running down the stairs, praying that she wasn't too late to help the others, that they weren't too late to get out. [i]I might be using these implants sooner than I thought.[/i]
