A rogue AI huh… That might explain why we've not even come across a single human aside from the pirates.
"Isn't this kind of bad then?" I asked.
Takehashi groaned, "Of course it's bad! A rogue AI huh… It must have gained control over the facility after the Pirate Sovereign passed and then used it for its own means… Heck, maybe it might have been one of his AIs that gained sentience and then went rogue instead?"
Before anyone else could say anything, voices came from behind us.
"I heard shooting coming from this way…"
"Then they must be there! Hurry and chase after them!"
Ah, I almost forgot about those guys…
Guess our encounter with that dark figure, or rather, that mass of nanobots, had caught their attention.
The Pirate Lord also let out a curse as she realised what happened, "We better prepare ourselves for another fight then. Let's find a place to set up an ambush up ahead."
