Among the Risks [Teens vs. Machines] Semi-Lit/Lit

Leath greeted Tifa as she entred. "Greetings, Tifa."

Lucky ran in with his tail wagging and Venus along with Natalia walked in holding bags from the old hideout. The large dog sniffed around the place as the three of them slowly walked in.

"Hi." Tifa said, as she smiled.

The Raptor ran over to tifa. "Greetings, Tifa." it said in a steely voice.

"Hey." Venus smiled. Lucky turned to see the Raptor and his fur bristled to the end. The black dog crouched down abd began to bark at it madly.

The Raptor bent down. "Do not worry Lucky. I will not harm you.", it said, in the same steely voice. "Luckily, I scored a speech unit and fused it into the cerbral center of the module.", Leath said.

The dog stopped barking as it heard Raptor speak and Lucky got startled running to hide behind Natalia. She turned to pet his head and Venus laughed quietly.

The drones walked over. "My robots are the handservants and workers of the post-apocalypse!", Leath said, msiling.

Natalia smiled then ran off somewhere in the junkyard to explore and Lucky quickly followed after. Venus dropped her bags on the ground and looked around the place, "I'm impressed Leath."

Thank you.", Leath said. Shade walked over to Leath. "Leath... This is amazing! You built all of this?", she said. "Well... After making some contrsuction drones, it was much easier..."

Ciberius came in with Micheal, Kelly, and Sparky with bags all around their shoulders as they passed the guard bot easily with no hassle. The thirteen year-old placed down Scrumpy and the small black kitten retreated to Ciberius's legs afraid.

The Raptor trotted over to the four. "Greeting, Ciberius, Micheal, Kelly, and Sparky."

"Hey it works!" Sparky laughed. Scrumpy pawed Ciberius and he bent down to pick up the small kitten in his hands. She purred then curled up.

"And hello Scrumpy."

The small kitten mewed showing her small teeth and she clibmed up Ciberius's shirt to settle upon his hat. She sat down on it and he laughed.
"Good view huh Scrumpy?" Sparky laughed as well.

Leath smiled and walekd voer to the group. "hey, Scurmpy.", he said, smiling.

She mewed with her bright blue eyes glittering and she purred loud enough for everyone to hear.
"She's happy." Venus smiled.

"i can tell.", Leath said, smilnig.

Scrumpy curled up resting her tail over her nose and she kept her blue eyes gazing on the group. Venus looked arund the junkyard and turned to everyone, "Since we are here and settled in, let;s go out on our own one by one to search life. Bring back any life you can, I don't care if you bring back a plant, it can support vegetation."

"Yes.", Leath said. "Find any life at all. And if you find any specimen of flora that has vines, particularly the strangler fig, bring it to me immediately."

"Could you go a little into detail?" Ciberius said, "I probably saw some in the park five streets down from here. It looked odd to me."

"Anything with vines."

"Huh? Um...okay. Venus you go first, one ot eh others will go with Natalia since she isn't the best combat fighter." Ciberius turned to his sister. She nodded her head then ran off in a flash.

"And, maybe some mosses and deadly nightshade."

"Hi." She said the raptor.
"Hey."Micheal and kelly said to the raptor. They both smiled when they saw the black kitten and so did Tifa. They both nodded and saw Venus go first.
