A strange phenomenon

Staying on the surface beyond the Silent Hours was extremely dangerous. Suzy expected to run into a lot of resistance inside the recreational zone. However, the streets seemed empty. There wasn't even the lonesome Neutralizer in sight. Even the Zaphounds prowling the alleys had gone missing. 

"The machines should have returned by now," Suzy said, looking around. 

"It seems a lot of things have changed over the last few months," Kevin replied. "The people in the Settler Camps have been moved to a different location, the Prime Android is designing new machines, and now this. I got a feeling the androids have planned something big."

"They've already managed to take control of the entire city. What else can they possibly want?" Suzy asked. 

"Let's hope the files from the database can give us more information." Kevin continued riding down the street with Suzy by his side. Though his A.I. didn't pick up any threats, he kept his eyes peeled.
