Crunch. Crunch, Crunch. Metal legs pierced through layers of trash. <Hurt subject: 40m NE> Drössel waddled through municipal dump. The robot princess had picked up a trace of blood, and now her biomedical scanner had locked on a human form. <Status: unkown> The titan approached with care. The hunkered shape seemed to be stuck inside a particular mound of rubbish. Besides the trail of blood, she had very little information on the patient's status. And without direct visuaal contact, she couldn't ask the person.
<10 meters> Sudden rustling alarmed Drössel. Did I move something? She stopped any motion, not wanting to endanger the patient's position with her rapid movements. Upper body crouched and arms stretched in a bird-like balance, Drössel was not ready for what came next. The 'hurt' patient jumped into the air like a rocket, flying straight over the robot's head. Drössel's eyes followed the figure's ascent, peeled to read as much information as possible. As she tilted to keep the figure in view, the white robot fell on her backside, arms quickly tilting backwards to break the fall. Drössel's core turned off. She didn't send a telepathic message to the figure. She couldn't.
The bloodied figure was a robot herself. As she tried to recover from her fall, Drössel went over all the tidbits of information she had just gleaned and tried to make sense of it. This robot. She's definitely female. There was something about her that made it clear. It wasn't the jet-black color. Maybe the familiar sleek curves? The blood. The robot wasn't her hurt patient. But the blood had to come from somewhere.
And with that, Drössel snapped from her surprised state. There was a mystery to be solved, and a patient to find! Turning around, the white robot got ready to pursue the fleeing black figure. In the mean time, she connected to her T-communicator.
@{Electronic message to Titan tower}
Followed blood trail to unknown robot. Pursuing.
As she jumped and pounced behind the similarly agile robot, Drössel took note of the direction she was being led in.
@{Electronic message to Titan tower}
Current position: Entrance to Solar Dragon Enterprise.
The white robot paused for a second at the entrance. Her black counterpart was already jumping over the security system. Should she pursue? Why was there a robot at the end of thee blood trail? There was a non-zero chance of danger. She had to trespass.
And with that, Drössel jumped over the security as well.
