Lydia's locked Gucci in the Specials HQ and left a sign on the door warning the other Specials off, because her Petbot has lost his goddamned mind. She's never wondered how much it hurts to be bitten by a robot dog, but now she has that useless fact and a pretty ugly bruise on her ankle from where Gucci snapped his metal jaws together over it when she'd tried to kick him away when he'd gone into unexpected attack mode in the middle of a game of fetch.

Now, she's headed toward the Wagon Wheel, meaning to go back to her room and find Root to see if her roommate can fix the glitch, or whatever is happening to her dog, because if it's not just annoying enough to have him biting her, he's been tampered with and has a lot of sensitive information meant to protect she and the other Specials. There's no telling what could happen if that information becomes compromised.

A blast to her right startles a scream out of her and she looks up to see a Guardbot on the rampage, too. It's aiming a laser gun and Lydia scans the area quickly in search of the easiest point of exit when she notices the girl a few yards away just off to the side, digging through another downed Guardbot. "Hey, look out!" she shrieks at the girl and, with hands still a little shaky from her start, she pulls her own laser gun out, pinging off a couple of shots at the Guardbot to distract it long enough for the other girl to get out of the way.
