“Well, that answers that question,” I said to myself as I went around to the back of the robot.

     Looking into it, I realized it was more of a ‘suit’ than a robot. Not only its chest was hallow but so was its limbs and head. It was obviously meant for larger person than me to use considering all the space there was. I eyed the seemingly exposed wiring lining its insides with suspicion before climbing into it.

     I was startled while I was getting in as the robot stood up once both my feet were in it. The back of it also started to shut behind me at the same time. Thankfully, the jostling cause by it getting up actually helped get me into it faster and I didn’t get caught by its back panels. As they finished closing up, it occurred to me how foolish I was being to climb into a strange robot made with unknown tech. I didn’t have much of a choice though. Not if I wanted to save my friends from their alien kidnappers.

     My regrets at getting into the robot were by no means soothed by the pitch black darkness inside of the alien machine. If anything, it was intensified and was helped along by having lots of long thin things start moving around on me. I assume it was the wires I had seen earlier and they wrapped around my arms, shoulders and chest before lifting me up so I could look up into the ‘helmet’ part of the suit. There were two small lights up there that probably would have lined up with my eyes had I been the proper size for it. The robot was able to adjust their angles though and I was rewarded with a screen like image being projected straight into my eyes. A multitude of alien symbols streamed across it for a moment before it cleared and a few English words were typed out on it.
