Control Room

A hush fell over the room as the screen showed the robot reaching the artefact. It stepped up the stairs towards it, and then paused at the top of the platform.


The hush continued as the one person still moving in the room, the controller of the robot, adjusted things and then instigated the pick up subroutine.


The robot slowly leaned forward, then picked up the item.


There was no traps.


The control room cheered.


Someone slapped the controller on the back, making them fall forward, hitting the controls, and making the robot drop the item.


The controller was blamed.
