"Hey Pal, buddy, favorite little robot of mine." These were the first words Gamma spoke to Hatbot as he rushed into the lab, looking nervously behind him for a moment before grinning down at the small robot. "Know of any good hiding places, pal?" (Gammaslystheai)
Hatbot’s eyes flickered in surprise as he heard Gamma hurtling in, shifting from their default silvery grey glow to first yellow for a moment as he registered the other’s words, before settling into a worried shade of green. “What did you do?” He asked uncertainly, peering up at Gamma, before glancing around anxiously.
“Of course I do - follow me!” What was wrong could wait - he didn’t know how much time Gamma had to escape who-knew-what. He seized the other’s hand and began tugging him to a panel in the wall, rapping on it to open a hidden chute. “This is one of Flug’s getaways - it leads straight to the laundry room. I can get us further from there, if need be.”
