Come Alive

nnnnRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

The makou light in Ror's office flickered. "What the... " said Ror and he nearly fell off his chair as the room rocked on its foundation.

Aneh! The thought flashed through Ror's mind and before he knew it, he was out of his chair and running down the hallway. He sensed mixed signals coming from his fiancee. There was a lot of emotion and fear.

He yelled to the guards to follow him as he ran past them.

It took forever to get to the lab.

Why was the lab so far away?

Was it always this far?

Skipping half the steps on the stairway, Ror rushed to the entrance of the laboratory. There was a lot of smoke, rubble and personnel yelling.  "Evacuate and help these people, " commanded Ror before pushing himself through the small crowd of researchers towards Aneh, asking, "What happened? " And spotting the remains of an once sturdy lab door to the left of him, Ror put his arm around his fiancee in protection. Taking a deep breath, Aneh put her hand on his arm. "Well, I hope life happened... Look... "

"I see a destroyed laboratory, not to mentioned scared and wounded people... And the giant armour that... "
Ror fell silent. In the center of the wrecked laboratory, was indeed the armour that... It moved! Its arm went up and the helmet down as if it was studying its own gauntlet.

It was alive.

He knew it. Aneh knew it.

For a split second he thought, it worked! Then there was a tsunami of thoughts and risk analysis.

This thing had blown up his laboratory. It could harm them...

Still, it was strange and fascinating to see an idea come alive, literally....

He felt a tugging motion on his sleeve, "I have to talk to... Him... Her... " said Aneh, "I think him... "

Despite warning to be cautious, Ror quickly found himself in between the armour and his fiancee, functioning as her living shield.

As they approached, the helmet slightly turned to follow them....
