- The elevator gave a hollow chime and opened itself to them.
- It let them out on ten, right in the line of fire from a pair of security-grade
- boxguards. The machines were steel cubes the size of a washing
- machine, inert in a monitoring mode; but when their sensors detected
- something that did not match their programmed security protocols, the
- mechanisms unfolded like a complex puzzle, extruding weapon muzzles and
- targeting scopes. They were the smaller cousins of the large,
- vehicle-size versions deployed by the military or law enforcement, but they
- could still be lethal.
- Saxon rolled out into the lavish corridor, bringing up his machine pistol as
- he moved. Federova launched herself from the elevator car on those
- racehorse legs of hers, so fast she was almost a blur of motion. The
- boxguards dithered, the simple machine-brains of the basic robots hesitating
- over which target to attack. Saxon used the moment to his advantage,
- coming up in half cover behind a cockpit leather armchair. He aimed with
- the Hurricane and squeezed the trigger, marching a clip of armor-piercing rounds up the frame
- of the closest boxguard, ripping it open. It stumbled into a wall and
- collapsed.
