  3. It let them out on ten, right in the line of fire from a pair of security-grade
  4. boxguards. The machines were steel cubes the size of a washing
  5. machine, inert in a monitoring mode; but when their sensors detected
  6. something that did not match their programmed security protocols, the
  7. mechanisms unfolded like a complex puzzle, extruding weapon muzzles and
  8. targeting scopes. They were the smaller cousins of the large,
  9. vehicle-size versions deployed by the military or law enforcement, but they
  10. could still be lethal.

  12. Saxon rolled out into the lavish corridor, bringing up his machine pistol as
  13. he moved. Federova launched herself from the elevator car on those
  14. racehorse legs of hers, so fast she was almost a blur of motion. The
  15. boxguards dithered, the simple machine-brains of the basic robots hesitating
  16. over which target to attack. Saxon used the moment to his advantage,
  17. coming up in half cover behind a cockpit leather armchair. He aimed with
  18. the Hurricane and squeezed the trigger, marching a clip of armor-piercing rounds up the frame
  19. of the closest boxguard, ripping it open. It stumbled into a wall and
  20. collapsed.
