Robot Riot

Where the fuck am I?

Ah, God!

Goddammit!

What's your name?

I don't know. I can't remember anything.

What, it's not Shane?

Yeah, I guess.

Oh, God, do you got one of these things too?

Yeah, what does it do?

How the hell would I know? I can't remember my name.

All I know, I woke up about five minutes ago,

tangled up in a parachute with this fucking thing

jammed in my neck and the next thing I know,

a robot the size of King Kong is trying to kill me, okay?

That's all I know.

Thank you for that, by the way.

Yeah.

Where'd you get the artillery?

Strapped to my pack. I know about as much as you do.

So we're pretty much fucked.

Let's scramble your gear

so we can find a way out of this place.

Oh my God.

Hello?

Oh, shit.

C101, please come in.

C101, do you copy?

Initialize boot up sequence.

C101 loading sequence.

We read you loud and clear.

We see here you're not fully intact.

See what you can find nearby. Improvise with what you have.

Copy that.

Start up the Roamer program.

Copy that. C101 will report in three hours.

- Voice options execute. - Human voice one.

- Human voice two. - Human voice three.

You all right?

Saw you over there. Figured you'd need some help.

I found some food and I got a little extra water.

Where are we?

I don't know.

What'd you find?

Some kind of weapon.

I don't fully know what it does.

Did you see somebody run outta here just now?

It was really weird.

No.

But welcome to hell.

The headaches will last a least a day or so

and they sent us in with hardly any food.

They? Who's they?

What's with the siren?

They go off when they send in new recruits.

Seems to be a couple times a day now.

Most don't make it.

I keep coming across mangled and chicken fried bodies.

This doesn't make any sense.

I mean, what is it, some kind of game?

Yeah, it's a game.

And you're losing.

- Hey. - Oh fuck yeah.

It's good?

Oh, watch out, watch out.

Okay, come on, let's go get him.

Run!

What the hell was your plan?

I don't know, self defense?

That was a rough landing. You okay?

Yeah.

Got one of those things too, huh?

I'm Madison.

Brock.

Got about a week's worth of MREs in your pack, Brock.

Maybe a day's worth of water.

I'd say maybe 10 matches because most won't work.

A utility knife and a machete to fight these things.

From what I can tell, it's about six p.m.

West is in that general direction.

I think. Good luck.

Wait, hold on, hey, hey.

Wait, hold up, wait, I really think we should stick together

Clearly, you're an ass.

That brilliant move you pulled back there

could get us both killed

and I'm not interested in being target practice.

Okay, but I, hey, hey!

I really think that we should stick together.

I don't.

Well, you should at least give me

your weapon and supplies.

Holy shit.

God, I hate this place.

Some kind of barrier.

Well, looks like you're stuck with me.

Looks like it's us versus them.

Wait, hold up.

Looks like somebody was here before us.

Bastard got what it deserved.

All right, let's get outta here.

We're way too exposed.

Hey, there might be some food.

Yeah.

I'll go see what's around back.

Piper?

Bingo.

Don't turn around.

Put the can down. Throw your weapon over there.

- Okay. - That's it.

Look, we're on the same team here, all right? I'm Shane.

I don't give a fuck who you are.

You had to have seen the robots.

Keep your hands up and your mouth shut.

Give me your bag-

Whoa! Shit!

Found this outside in her pack.

What the hell was that?

What, did you want me to introduce myself first?

Well, I mean, the more of us, the better, you know?

She didn't really seem like the reasoning type.

Hello?

Now that we are all here, we can begin

our little exercise.

Do not be alarmed.

Remember, you all volunteered for this little experiment.

And as many of you have figured out by now,

we are in the process of testing our new military equipment.

The mech series, some of you were not as sharp.

We need to find out what variables we are dealing with here.

In this case, the human variable.

We're guinea pigs.

You have all been given the necessary tools

to make this a fair fight.

Your fate is dependent on your will to live.

We are all pulling for you in this little exercise

and of course, the government

of the United States of America

thanks you for your service.

This is bullshit.

They can't do this, can they? Can they?

You heard the man.

Let's show them what they're working with.

Well, I think it's safe to say

they're tracking our movements

with these damn things in our neck.

Probably monitoring our vitals as well.

And I'm guessing if there's a perimeter,

that we're not gonna have access to it.

Well, you're finally starting to sound

like a soldier, Shane.

I don't feel like one.

How many do you think are out there?

We don't even know where there is.

There might not be an end to this place.

Oh no, no, there is always an end.

I think our friend back there found out the hard way.

Why do you think they needed to erase our memories?

Well, knowledge is power.

I mean, think about it, makes it a fair game, right?

Robots without awareness versus humans without awareness.

Maybe we don't want to remember.

Maybe you killed a bunch of insurgents, maybe...

Maybe I killed my husband.

Well, it definitely seems to be, you know,

within your skillset.

Asshole.

You just blew a stranger's head off and I'm an asshole?

Okay. Okay.

Well, why don't you just take a break, all right?

I'll take the first watch.

We should probably snuff this out, though.

It's like a beacon.

Oh shit, this can't be good.

Shh.

More humans.

We're surrounded.

Yeah, no shit. They're everywhere.

Screw this.

Come on, let's go.

Whoa!

Shane? Shane!

Piper!

Oh no! No!

Piper, I'm out!

No, no!

No!

- Can I get an assist? - I'm out.

Great.

These are new.

Nasty little fuckers.

You fought the big ones off too?

Well, there's a win for the human variable.

How many are with you?

- Just us. - Holy shit.

What do you two remember?

Nothing.

Apparently, I'm Piper. He's Shane.

- I'm Madison. - Brock.

No offense, darling, Shane seems like dead weight

and I am not about to be robot target practice.
