PARKER!

[ Qubit runs like a thing possessed, arms outstretched, his eyes burning with eerie light. Maybe just burning. His power pours freely through the robots' circuitry, his nerves are on fire, his vision blurs, and he knows immediately he's overdone it, but all he needs is a split second more, a single clock cycle, to clench his fist and command everything he's touching to

BREAK.

The nearest four robots grind to a halt, sparking and popping and stuttering as circuits short and joints separate and rotors collide. A thin trail of smoke rises from an exhaust port. They clatter to pieces, their insides mangled beyond recognition or repair.

"I want you to save a child! Can you do that?!"

Qubit collapses, unconscious. ]
