Day 3: Muzzled

Summary:

Dr. Mensah is threatened by goons. It would be insulting they sent only two, if it weren’t her they were threatening.

Notes:

I started All Systems Red on Wednesday and am halfway though Network Effect and hoo boy has this hooked me...

Work Text:

“Hmmmph!”

For a subjective six minutes but an objective 1.2 seconds, I stared at Dr. Mensah and fought against the incandescent rage whiting out my vision. I couldn’t reconstruct what she had said through the muzzle covering the lower half of her face, but I didn’t need to. Targets one and two, big, burly men in uniforms with no visible logo, were flanking her and had a gun pointed at her head.

It was a mistake humans only made when they didn’t recognise me. I smiled. It was a mistake they would only make once. Nobody threatened Dr. Mensah.
