Bill had now switched nearly all of the robotic equipment over to simulations. But he was having an awful time with the Psychiatric testing machinery, which had triple and sometimes quadruple back-up systems, that were very difficult to hack into. Nevertheless all of them had to be over-ridden in order to gain complete control. He was getting very worried that there might be someone at control that was catching on to him, as he had lately started picking up tracer signals throughout the system. These he had to be extremely careful around as any little signal – including the very tiny ones from nano-machinery – could be detected quite easily. This made his nearly impossible task all the more arduous. And this was just one of many projects he had going on. He was also constructing, via nano-manufacturing equipment, a powerful photon-radiation gun, which he would need in order to disable all L-1-Con communication systems.
He had been working so diligently that he didn’t, at first, notice the telescoping snake like robot entering the top of his capsule, stealthily moving toward him. Upon becoming aware of it, he looked up abruptly and gaped in horror at the devilish machine. He knew in an instant that this was a lobotomatic-unit.
