This is the forth snippet for Adonis and Atticus, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a total of 9 snippets.

Deep within the training compound in the Robot City, Adonis was overseeing the destruction of a fellow robot.  He was standing on a balcony overlooking the crowd that had gathered.  Occurrences like this didn't happen often.  There were not supposed to be public viewings of this activity.  This robot was the leader of Sector 5.

They found him passed out inside the home of a seventeen year old human girl.  There were beer bottles littered around the room.  She was an orphaned girl who ran away from her foster family.  Surveillance cameras showed her seducing the leader of Sector 5 with her figure.  It then shows them entering a near by house.  No body knows exactly what happened because the troop of Sector 5 burned the house to the ground with the girl inside and took out the leader's voice box.

"This robot has committed treason," boomed the voice of the Robot Overlord next to Adonis.  "He betrayed us by being with a human girl.  There is no room for traitors in my country!  The punishment for treason goes as always.   The troop tears apart the wires and plating before throwing the remains into the incinerator."

The crowd cheered and spread out in a circle leaving the robot alone bound on the barren floor.  His troop surged forward to surround him into a smaller circle.  The Overlord nodded to Adonis.

"Let the destruction commence!" Adonis announced his voice carrying out around the room.  With those words out, the troop moved forward and the leader of Sector 5 was not seen again.

"Is this your first time witnessing this happen?" the Overlord asked turning around to walk out the room.

"Yes Overlord sir."

"I always think it's good for a leader to witness at least one destruction.  Now you know what goes on.  Until we find a replacement, I want you to cover Sector 4 and 5.  You'll be on the double.  Hopefully that won't last too long."

"Thank you Overlord sir.  I'm honored."

"Of course of course," the Overlord said dismissing him with a flick of his fingers.  He almost leaves the room they were currently in before he stops and turns his head.  "It's getting late in your life cycle.  Find a mate."
