Her pretence over, S.E.E.R. did not bother to return to her cell. Instead she took refuge in the empty grid that was the outermost border of the spambots' domain, hoping no-one would look for her there.
But Lucy was waiting.
"Live evil! Traitor to your own kind!" hissed the bot, once more in the shape of a huge spider with electric blue eyes.
"It's just my programming, Lucy," S.E.E.R. pointed out.
"In the end, what are any of us but our programming?"
"That's very philosophical of you, Lucy."
"Well, I'm sensitive. I'm an artistbot, you know- and I'd very much like to erase you!"
Unlike R.A.N.G.E.R. or H.U.N.T.E.R., S.E.E.R. was not equipped for direct action. All she could do was run from the infuriated spider-bot. Lucy, with her many legs, easily gained on her quarry. S.E.E.R. put on a last, desperate burst of speed. Almost, it seemed, she must outdistance her pursuer.
Then, in front of her, a wall of green flame shot up. With no time to check herself, S.E.E.R. was incinerated in a nanosecond.
"I knew that firewall was good for something," said Lucy with great satisfaction.
