Query: What is our status?
Sensors indicate status is critical.
Epidermal layer breeched. Status: Critical.
Arterial Functions: Critical. Class III Hemorrhage detected. Erythrocyte levels at 62% and falling.
Resetting Function Priorities... Erythrocyte Production: Priority.
Commencing Epidermal Repairs.
Primary Life-Support Systems operating at 48%.
Warning. System Shut-Down imminent. Engaging Secondary Life-Support Systems.
Secondary Systems engaged. Operation at 59%.
Heart Rate has increased.
Erythrocyte Production has increased.
Epidermal Repairs at 12% completion.
Query: Is this sufficient?
Calculating necessary BPM for survival... BPM insufficient.
System Shut-Down unavoidable under current conditions.
Query: What happened to us?
Critical damage to Thorax detected. Chassis Integrity: Compromised.
Foreign Object detected.
Query: What is it?
Calculating mass, structure and chemical composition of FO... Complete. 0.262857 ounces of dense, metallic material, primarily Pb 204, detected.
Query: What is it?
Synthesizing list of possible identification from System Database... Complete. 71 possible results.
Query: What is it!?
Most probable result: Lead Bullet. 9mm hollow point round. Government issue.
Query: We’ve been shot?
Sensors indicate Bullet Object is lodged within thoracic cavity. Presence of Bullet object is reducing Primary and Secondary System output and hindering Arterial Functions.
Query: Are we going to die?
Commencing purge of Bullet Object... Bullet Object successfully purged.
Arterial Functions increasing.
Primary Life-Support System operating at 54%.
Secondary Life-Support System operating at 68%.
Assertion: We don’t want to die.
BPM rising. Calculating likelihood of survival... Complete. System Shut-Down avoidable. Chance of Survival at 1%.
Assertion: We don’t want to die!
Warning. Anomaly detected.
BPM rising.
Primary and Secondary System operation levels increasing.
Arterial Functions approaching maximum load.
BPM rising.
BPM rising.
Epidermal Repairs: 40% complete.
46% complete.
58% complete.
75% complete.
Warning. Systems operating beyond overload capacity.
Anomaly detected.
Assertion: I. Will. Not. Die!
Anomaly detected.
Epidermal repairs are complete. Knitting successful.
Hemorrhaging has ceased.
Erythrocyte levels within acceptable range.
Arterial Functions: Normal.
Primary and Secondary Life-Support Systems: Normal.
Homeostasis achieved. All Systems are Green.
Assertion: This is good. Good.
Engaging External Sensor Array. Audible stimulus detected.
Analyzing... Complete. Stimulus identified as Speech. Speaker identified as Charles Howard, head of Research and Engineering at BioTech Laboratories.
“Android A7-Theta has proven more resilient than the other four subjects, continuing system operation throughout the Severe Chest Trauma test. It has not ceased to function. The reason for A7-Theta’s survival is unknown. Therefore I will be attempting another test to discern if its behavior is not an outlier in the data. Commencing with Severe Cranial Trauma test, 9mm, Hollow Point round in 3, 2, 1...”
Appeal: God help us.
