screen, flickers to a view of a room. It's the creators workshop. We are
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.

cut to an external view, looking down at the robot. He is slumped against a
wall. The doorway of the workshop is in front of him with an inner doorway on
his right and the main area of the workshop to his left. 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. We can see what looks like a damaged power cell/battery
in the open wound.
