Snippet #2791662

the Artificial Soldier 'Alpha' stopped dead as the alert of the quarantine and lockdown of the station was enacted, he was about to step through into 'corridor A' when the doors slammed shut no more than a couple of yards ahead of him. he monitored the response of the station's A.I for no more than a second before turning to watch what the Aschen had decided to do. if the robot were human or had a face for that matter it would be one of unamusement.

changing 'frequencies' Alpha registered the distress of the Beacon A.I, the anchor for the 'quantum highway' tied to the system in which the Prometheus station made its home. thankfully the only thing in the system with a key to activate the 'QH' was Alpha. though the lone floating beacon would draw attention at some point.

crossing arms and waiting, Alpha pondered hacking the door and going on his way...though angering everyone was generally a bad idea.
