The FRA Betrayal Game

[Badnik96]

Dylan put the finishing touches on WhipCoil and went over to scout out the competition. He saw some old foes and some new ones, including a brightly colored flipper that looked to be Kody's robot and a low to the ground pneumatic flipper named Air. There was also a boxy scoop robot he didn't know the name of, but definitely looked like a fierce competitor. For familiar robots, he saw Revolver Ocelot, Wedge Devolution and Parasite, among others. The crates containing Marti's and Joey's robots remained unopened, and Dylan didn't know what would become of them.

Ever since Joey and Marti's untimely deaths, the tension was so thick that, to reuse an already overused cliche in robotic combat, you could cut it with a knife, or more appropriately a circular saw. No one knew who would be next, and the ever-real danger that perhaps their robot could go out of control and kill them was making everyone nervous. Dylan restrained from plugging the battery in on his robot until the last second just in case.

He went over to talk to Alex, who was also working on his robot Dreadnought. Perhaps it would relieve the tension a bit...

"Hey, dude."

"Hey, dude."

"Hello." Alex replied, looking up from his handiwork. He had since finished reassembling Dreadnought since getting it through the customs at London Heathrow, and was now in the process of polishing it- paying particular attention to the UK flags that adorned the sleek wedge's sides.
"Just finishing off old Dreadnought here. Done pretty much all the technical bits, so just giving it a bit of a polish to make it look good once it's in there. Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to talk, lower some tension from this situation. I've gotten WhipCoil finished up and raring to go, just wondering what you're thinking about this whole thing. Someone's after us and we have no idea who it could be. Do you think we'll be OK?"

"Steve? Where are you going Steve? You can't be thinking of going to look for clues on your own? Don't you pay attention to these kind of stories? Going off alone is a very bad idea! More likely than you finding anything is me finding you in about 5 minutes with a knife sticking out of your back. I always regret doing this, but I'll go with you. Mostly cause the talk is getting a bit too technical for me to keep up with."

Josh hurried after Steve.

Well, OK. Let me just grab something first.

What? Killer on the loose. Safety first, yeah?

"That's the thing." Alex replied, switching off his polisher. "Dreadnought's pretty much prepped for combat as well- normally at this point I'd be feeling alright, but I can't help but feel worried sick about this whole situation. I'm not sure who or what was responsible for what happened to Martijn either, but whatever is, it needs to be flushed out before it gets someone else."
A thought then suddenly occurred to him.
"Come to think of it, has anyone even called the Police yet?"
