[ Quite suddenly, Bigby will be getting a powerful shock to his ankle monitor. It's certainly enough to get him to stumble and to possibly drop Elizabeth, but it's not strong enough to kill him. The intent is only to make sure he stays put, and he'll find that every time that he tries to move after, he'll get another similar shock.

Distantly, Elizabeth and Bigby both will hear a distant clanking like a grinding of gears or maybe a tread turning. The scientists aren't following Bigby, but someone else is, and across the walkway, they might see what it is. It's a clunky, mechanical robot of some kind, though it makes it way towards them fairly quickly. Once it turns the corner, what's likely to stand out to them the most is the very much human brain mounted at the top of its chasis. ]

As I said, this is against regulations, Bigby.

[ The robot speaks, but rather than a monotone, it's a a borderline seductive tone, though that's probably also weird and uncomfortable. The robot, Judy, is heading their way, though her pace is slow because of the tank like treads. Or maybe she's just taking her time. ]

I have been observing you both for some time. I imagine you will find it difficult to finish this assessment. I hope you understand that immediate termination is required.
