looking through the eyes of Rob, a sentient robot and our protaganist. There's
a heads-up display over-layed on the screen. A warning about backup power running low flashes on and off in one corner
and the screen occasionally has a garbled flicker as he looks around the
environment.

wal. The doorway of the workshop is on his right. There is a largish hole in
his chest plate where he has been shot. He looks down at the wound then moves
his hand to it.

looks to his right and we cut to his POV and can see outside through the
