[ IP ] Last Stand

`` Close! Close you piece of fucking shit! Fuck!'' he screamed at the hatch as both sides inched closer and closer towards each other. The ship had been capsized by a ship of the mutinous robot colony of Gliese 581 e. There were warning signs, the malfunctions, the missing robots, even missing ships. By the time the governor had noticed, it was too late. The messages were intercepted by the robots, the people were overwhelmed. Only a handful escaped, Li was one of them. A simple board mechanic he did n't expect to be in *this* situation. 
 
 His breathing was heavy as the doors were finally at the final phase of closing, only a few seconds apart as a hand of one of the robots flew through towards him. Li staggered back and gasped. The doors were sturdy, but yet another hand tried to reach through, and another, as they toppled over each other trying to grab Li. He had no idea what to do. The doors closed and the arms were severed from their robotic bodies. Li feared they would keep on moving, but they would not. They were not connected to their owners so- oh fuck never mind they moved. They continued to grasp for Li, edging across the hard metal floor towards him. Li tried to stomp on them but they were strong. He took a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall and bashed down on them. That proved more efficient. Seven severed arms later he was done. 
 
 But the door was being pummeled by the robots now. They were still trying to get through. He quickly ran through the hall and closed the next door, and the door after that. He knew this ship better than many others. Noctis XIV - a jewel of the Noctis Corporation that worked on Gliese 581 e. They also developed the robots. Li was a mechanic for ships though, and this transport ship was one of his specialties. He began to make his way to the security room. The lights were off, save for emergency lights blinking everywhere. Left... right... straight... kitchen area... common room... security room. Naturally it was locked tight. Li got out his pass and overrode the lock. Since it was an emergency closure, the hatch was covered by a hatch similar to the passages he locked the robots in, for a longer time, so he hoped. He looked around and heard the robotic high pitched wail from afar. It was enough to give one a headache, but close up it was stunning. Literally, it would stun you so the robots could take you apart. A human had no purpose in their plan, they hated all humans and vowed extermination of all humans on'Robonia'... 
 
 The security hatch was finally open and the normal door was absolutely destroyed. Three ruined robots hung around the floor and one of the security officers laid in a corner. His bowels were strewn in front of him, a pistol at his side and a hole in his head. They got him, but he got them. Three for one is n't all bad. He looked at the weapons in storage and most were gone. He took the pistol from the officer and some grenades. Grenades on a ship seemed a bad idea, but it worked out. 
 
 Li ran towards the emergency exit hatch. The door closed, sadly very slowly as usual, as he began to put on a spacesuit. He heard a loud explosion and fell down. `` Fuck... fuck... fuck'' he continuously muttered as he struggled to put the spacesuit on. Normally someone would help him. The door closed with a clunk. He was good to go. He checked the escape pods... All gone. `` Well... what the hell do I-'' he was interrupted in his open monologue as the ventilation above him began to clank and shudder. Panicked, he shot upwards to it. It rocked out of the ceiling and out tumbled three robots. They were undisturbed by the shooting and screeched at him as they struggled to get upright. More continued to come out of the vent. The pistol was empty. Li ran to the air lock release button just as his legs gave way. 
 
 One of the robots jumped onto his legs and was thrashing at the suit. He kicked it away, in panic he got up as quickly as he could and ran towards the button. Another robot tackled him and scratched at his visor. Luckily the entire suit seemed to resist the clawing of these monsters. Hands began to clamber all around him as he managed to fight a few off. Li figured there was only one thing left to do. He grabbed the bag with grenades and pulled one out, making sure he pulled the pin as he pulled the grenade out, he released the safety lever just as another wave was to envelope him. Li laughed one last laugh.
