I was awoken by a clanging noise and what sounded like a drill. I blinked my eyes and across the room saw Thomas bent over the mechanical skeleton on the workbench in front of him. 
 
 
 
 `` Thomas..'' I stated... 
 
 
 
 Thomas jumped and turned quickly, still holding the drill which slowly spun down. There was oil and grease all over his leather smock. 
 
 
 
 `` Oh... you're awake'' he said 
 
 
 
 `` What are you doing Thomas?'' I asked 
 
 
 
 `` Nothing really, just working on some things'' he said as he approached me. As he passed the mobile tool chest he placed the drill on top of it and took a rag to wipe off his hands. 
 
 
 
 His face was rough and unshaven, the scar over his right eye was healing well, it was an accident after all, I had no idea the ladder was on unstable ground when he climbed onto it. 
 
 
 
 `` You look tired Thomas'' I stated 
 
 
 
 He got real close to my cheek, I could feel his warm breath, `` You comfortable?'' he asked. 
 
 
 
 `` The restraints are a little tight.'' I spoke, slowly turning my head away from his. 
 
 
 
 `` Come on now, is that any way to treat me?'' he said as he grabbed my chin with his hand and turned my face back towards his. 
 
 
 
 He turned to walk away, passing the tool chest and leaving the drill on top of it. He walked to the workbench and picked up a large reciprocating saw. 
 
 
 
 `` You think you're so high and mighty, with your powerful brain and body, pretending to be caring and loving and nurturing to me... to us...'' he said with his back to me. 
 
 
 
 `` Thoma...'' I had n't even finished saying his name when he spun around, saw in his hands. 
 
 
 
 He started walking towards me again, past the workbench, past the tool chest. `` Your kind thinks they are top of the food chain, creating and destroying life, no regrets, no stopping to consider if they could or if they should.'' he stated. 
 
 
 
 `` Thomas, look, I know the feelings you are going through, this is normal and you're scared.'' I said, my voice starting to tremble. 
 
 
 
 `` SCARED?!'' his voice louder now. `` You think I'm scared? You should see yourself, shaking like a leaf in the wind.'' 
 
 
 
 He approached my side, reached behind me and pulled on the bindings that held my hands in place, my arms rotated up towards my head and were now facing the ceiling. 
 
 
 
 `` You and your kind think this is the way it should be, that it's for the best.'' he spoke softly now. `` But what do you know? What do you believe in? You have nothing, you have no reason to be here, you destroy everything you touch and bring pain to everything around you.'' 
 
 
 
 He started the saw and brought it up towards my face, the jagged edge of the blade mere inches away as it reciprocated back and forth. 
 
 
 
 `` I'm going to put an end to this once and for all!'' he said. 
 
 
 
 He brought the saw up and came towards me, at that time my hands broke free from the restraints and I was able to catch his arm before he completed the first swing. He caught my left hand and I reached out with my right and struck him in the temple. 
 
 
 
 `` God dammit!'' he shouted in my face. 
 
 
 
 I made a fist and punched him in the temple again, this one was enough to cause him to stagger and drop the saw, it clanged to the floor and stopped running. 
 
 
 
 I walked towards him as he tried to regain his composure, leaning on the workbench. 
 
 `` I swear I'm going to..'' Thomas started to say, but his words were cut short. The skeletal remains on the android on the table sprung to life, I mechanical hand reached up and grabbed him by the arm. 
 
 I bent over to pickup the saw at my feet, that's when I noticed he had cut my hand pretty bad, I was leaking hydraulic fluid and could see clear through to the circuitry. I slowly began to approach Thomas as I squeezed the trigger on the saw...
