"Surrender now and you won't be harmed." The order came through the speakers embedded at intervals in the wall and the cyborgs sneaking along the suspiciously empty polymer corridor halted in their tracks.

Einstein tapped on his handheld tablet and frowned. "It is. I mean, we're talking really low level stuff. I don't get it."

"Maybe they're fishing. Or talking to someone else. Do you think group B was detected?" Seth interjected.
