Who needs realistic goals when you have tenacity? [OPEN]
It had literally been a day after being released from GLaDOS (oh, she was going to give that bit of AI a piece of her mind, no doubt ... ) when it started. The message from Shodan, the ship shutdowns, the robots ... one AI for another, great. Just her luck, right? But there was a problem with this situation: the medbay was under her control. Martha could sit back and allow other places to be taken (albeit with much anger and gnashing of teeth) but the medbay was not one.
So she set out with one stupid goal in mind: get into the Medbay. Yeah, thinking it out only went so far, and as smart as Martha knew she was she was also tenacious as hell. At least she could grab some supplies, maybe smaller equipment, something to help the people in need. She walked around the entire Earth in a death-zone, how hard could a trip to the Medbay be?
Currently hiding behind a convenient outcropping of the ship, listening for the disappearing metal footfalls of some robotic creature, and trying to keep her heart rate and breathing down, it would likely be much harder than she thought. Maybe she could use some help.

She paused in thought, puzzling out the same problem she had been before Maxine had showed up. There were robots everywhere, and although she could outrun some of them to be sure (practice with the Doctor had made perfect), there was always the chance of running into more.
"Any bright ideas?"

There were a lot to face, and just the two of them. They could call for backup, but people were dealing with a lot of their own problems elsewhere, too. This wasn't going to be easy.
"I could use my powers to deflect any attacks to an extent-- but they've been severely limited. Normally I'd be able to do a lot more, maybe even clear a path completely. Maybe if-- I could make a distraction, maybe, and give you time to get try and get through? But what if some still stay behind and go after you? I couldn't let that happen."
