Book Chapter - Recapture Procedure - WIP - 7/25/21 (Patreon)

The alarms hadn’t sounded yet, no one but the machines guard she knocked out were aware of her escape, running down the hallway in hopes of finding a way out, or at least someplace to hide. Unfortunately, wearing nothing but a black latex prison cell suit, with a long-sleeve turtleneck leotard-like design, she stuck out like a sore thumb. Even If she found a way out, it wouldn’t be long till she was discovered. Having shorted out most of the wiring in the cell block, it wasn’t difficult for her to get to the front door, the lights outside flickering so much it was almost disorienting. The front sliding blast doors stuck half-open malfunctioning as the loud whirring and clanking could be heard within the walls. The lights seemed to be flickering on the other side of the door, much like it would in a sci-fi horror film. The escapee prepared herself for a fight as she exited through the gap, but the two human guards seemed just as disoriented as the androids she had subdued. With the metal visors stuck on their heads, they were completely unable to see, the flickering lights messing up their optical inputs as they struggled to remove them.

Right as she thought her escape had been flawless, several tail slots opened up from the walls, revealing would appear to be eight spherical cannons lined up down the circular hallway. Gasping in shock, The young woman stopped in her tracks, holding her arms in front of her as the cannons slowly aimed in her direction. The young woman prepared herself for a painful impact or a zap of some kind, but then instead, all she heard was a rubbery thud right in front of her. Looking down, she saw would appeared to be a black shiny rubber ball seemingly stuck to the floor as it began to expand with a soft hisss. baffled, she didn’t know what to make of it, Much less how it posed a threat to her. Even with all ofthe kinky tests she had been forced to participate in, this seemed new to her. But then, once the other cannons began firing similar balls, her heart jumping as she prepared to be pelted.

Strangely, the balls weren’t even fired in her direction, smooshing all over the hallway as the turrets were spinning at aiming at random. The young woman sighed with relief, seeing as her tinkering had left the defense system completely compromised. Even so, the large sticky rubber balls continue to coat the hallway, slowly inflating all over the walls and floor like water balloons. Though risky, she bolted down the hallway, running as fast as she could as she stepped around each and every ball in her path. Since the turrets were firing at random she couldn’t exactly dodge the flinging balls, just running at full sprint in hopes of escaping before her luck ran out. With only a couple of close calls, one whizzing past her face and one on the inches from slapping her ear, she made it out of the malfunctioning block and down a brightly lit hallway.

Meanwhile, in the chaos of the two machines came back to their senses, standing up on their feet as they both observe the aftermath of their carelessness. The overcharged android, Sevens, stretched out her shiny robotic limbs, feeling refreshed after is the surprise jolt she received. The other android she was with however, 09, was far less amused, struggling to cures out of frustration as her voice box malfunctioned, her words coming out as glitching stuttering gibberish. 09 gave her head a couple of smacks with her palm, fixing up her eyesight and her vocals as she stood up next to her partner, who was already peeking into the escapee’s cell block. Sevens noticed that a couple of the inflatable pads on the floor had been ripped open, with one of the plates removed revealing the sophisticated wiring underneath.

“Well well…” Sevens whispered with amusement in her static voice. “I love this woman’s handiwork.” 09 stepped forward tilting her head at Sevens, surprised with her reaction. “Are kidding me?” she retorted, pointing her hand down at the dismantled floor tile. “She could’ve seriously damaged us, not only that but she somehow found a way to rip up this state-of-the-art containment rubber.” Her voice much more serious and stoic than her current counterpart. The overcharged machine simply turned her head towards her, placing her hand underneath her chin plate. “Oh what can I say? I just love a human who knows her way with machines.” she said with a playful snicker. 09 just rolled her head back, placing her hands on her hips in disappointment. “Ugh, Gross, you’re one of those.” 09 responded.

Sevens just tilted her head up with a robotic snicker, before looking back down at the broken tile and circuitry. “In all seriousness, this is rather impressive, she did a lot of damage with so little to work with.” Sevens said scratching her chin. Walking into the room, 09 kneeled down to examine the damage more closely. Not only did appear that the wires were tinkered with for sometime, but they were rearranged in a very specific order, possibly multiple times. “We’re not dealing with some run-of-the-mill electrician, whoever she is she knew what she was doing the second she opened this panel, however she managed to do it.” 09 said, running a diagnostic in her head as she calculated the extent of the damage. Standing up, the more serious machine walked out of the cell room with an annoyed sigh. “Let’s go retrieve her before she causes any more damage.” she said.

Sevens eyes lit up, the overcharged android making her way to the side of the cell door as she punched a code into the barely functioning keypad. Following this, a tile next to the keypad opened up, revealing a small reflective window. The machine reached through the window, her hand passing through the glass like it was jelly, pulling out a small flexible ball. Fitting in the palm of her hand, the ball had a clear rubbery shine to it, containing other much smaller multi-colored balls within it. Fiddling in squishing the orb in her hand, Sevens just smiled as she followed 09 down the hall. “And I thought today’s shift was going to be dull…”

7/25/21

Walking ahead of her paired up robotic partner, 09 let out annoyed grown as she approached the partially open malfunctioning door, seeing the lights flicker on the other side. “We’ll be lucky if they don’t make us refit this whole place. Looks like it’s about ready to fall apart.” With the entrance partially closed, it was far too tight for her to slip through. With that she put her hands into The gap, firmly grasping both sides of the blast door, and forcing it open as loud metallic crunches could be heard within both sides of the walls. The blast door became still, the machinery inside now silent as 09 exited the cell Block binding both of the rubber suited humans clumsily stumbling around, disoriented by their malfunctioning visors. 09 just look down at them, interfacing directly with their hardware, fixing their optic headsets in a matter of seconds.

Then, tilting her head up, she stared directly at the strobing lights, and punched her fist straight through the ceiling. Her arm extended a couple of feet as she reached through the metal plating above her, pulling her hand back down with a swift metallic crunch. Now holding a bunch of shredded wires in her palm, the flickering lights went off-line, leaving the room dark until the dimly lit emergency lights activated. Sevens soon followed behind, amused by her robotic coworker’s efficiency as she tossed the rubber ball up and down in her hands. “Aggressive much?” she teased, not even getting a reaction out of the annoyed 09. While the humans pull themselves together, both androids looked at the mess that lay before them, the hallway entrance now littered with expanding black balloons, the barely functioning turrets still firing every which way as the mass continued to grow.

“Well…” Sevens sighed, putting both of her fists up against her hips. “Can’t follow her through all that…” Even though they were gaps in the inflating hallway, they grew smaller and smaller with every passing moment, as the balloons continued to pile up within the corridor. With the alarms deactivated, the only sound filling the room was the soft hisss of inflating rubber. 09 crossed her arms, shrugging her shoulders down with a disappointed metallic goan. Just then, a stray sticky ball landed directly on her breastplate, taking the machine by surprise as she looked down at the glossy orb. It immediately began to expand, slowly filling up with air as she tightly clenched her fists in frustration. “This prisoner is far more trouble than she’s worth...” she huffed. barely holding back her anger.

The two human women could almost feel the vibrations from her internal growling, keeping their distance as they quietly called in the breach. “They’ll send a team down to fix this mess eventually, might take him a while to get through that whole way though.” Sevens said. “In the meantime, we can have this doohicky to solve our little prisoner-escape problem for us.” With that, she held up the multicolor rubber ball, fiddling with it in her hands like a stress ball. 09‘s eyes widened, putting an almost baffled-looking expression on her metallic face. “You can’t be serious” Sevens scoffed, grabbing at the sticky ball as she tugged it off her chest with a soft pop. “You can’t deploy that thing, it’s still in phase 2! what if it goes after one of our people?” She nonchalantly tossed the ball behind her, the strength in her robotic limb instantly flinging it free from her palm.

“Eeek!” One of the humans yelped, along with the sound of a wet rubbery slap. Both of the machines looked behind them to see the ball had struck on one of the human women, the one with the dark rubber covering her arm. The ball had stuck to her left thigh, puffing up where it left off as it began slowly enveloping her leg. “Oh… sorry…” Sevens apologized, turning her head back awkwardly. The two humans jsut looked at each other in panic, unable to do anything as they had no way to remove the sticky inflating ball, which was now completely wrapped around her thigh. “A-any way, it doesn’t matter. We lost her, and there’s nothing we can do but wait” she followed up, paying no mind to the human’s predicament.

Sevens leaned closer to her comrade. “Oh that’s not true…” she said with a teasing Tone. “All we have to do is deploy this ball, and our little troublemaker will be will be brought back to us in a nice tight package.” Sevens held the shiny orb in front of 09‘s faceplate, squishing it in her fingers. “You said yourself she’s more trouble than she’s worth, right? Besides if we take some initiative, the higher-ups will cut us some slack for this… incident.” Sevens followed up. 09 just look to the side, groaning under her breath. It didn’t seem like a bad option, but she would have to admit that her carefree coworker actually had a good point. “Risky. But I guess it’s better than being responsible for an entire cell block malfunction…” he said looking back at Sevens.
