A red ice bust had taken a turn for the worst. RK080 had no choice but to utilize his Assault Neutralization software. The K9_DROiD was a horror to behold, deep barks and metallic snarls, throwing himself into danger to keep the Detective alive.
But there is only so much a living weapon can do.
Thirium drips down the dogs flank, parts of the white skin showing through black fur in splotches of blue stained dents. Tongue hanging and steam clouding the cold Detroit air. LED flashing crimson. He forced himself to stand back up, using his own bulk to shield the Detective. Backup had already been called, but the damage was done.
080 lunged. There's an audible iron snap when his jaws clamp and he throws his weight around to keep their opponent off balance. Even while being beaten with a broken metal pipe and muffled sounds of the Android yelping leak out. His hold on the man's arm doesn't release, jaw mechanisms manually locked down on the humans bicep.
ANUBIS may have not had the best partnership with Detective Reed, but the loyalty in his programming values protection over vindication. Fowler had assigned him to this man. ANUBIS will do his job even if it cost him, it's all he has left. Humans will not accept failure.
And it seems Detective Reed hates that the most.
