The Crystal Caves.
A place of legend.
For centuries, people have spoken of its magical properties.
Some say that if you go in alone, you will never come out.
Others say that if you go in with a group, only one will come out.
I don't believe any of it, of course.
I'm a robot, I don't believe in magic.
But I do know one thing.
The Crystal Caves are deadly.
I've seen the entrance to the caves with my own eyes.
It's a mile or so north of here, and yet nobody has ever returned after going in.
At least, not in the last hundred years or so.
Before that however…
Well, let's just say that the ancient civilizations around here knew how to harness the power of the caves.
And now, I'm going in.
Not because I want to, but because I have to.
We stand in the dimly lit caves, the air thick with the smell of damp earth.
The entrance behind us is sealed.
I can see it with my own eyes, even if I didn't have a suite of sensors to scan the area.
It's a wall of solid rock, and it's not going to be shifting anytime soon.
"Oof," Noob says behind me.
I turn around, looking at the group of friends that I'm with.
There's five of them in total, and they're all looking at me expectantly.
I'm not sure why they think I can help them, but I suppose I'm the only robot here.
"Oof," Noob says again.
I'm not sure what he's trying to say, but I think he might be in shock.
"Protogen?" one of the girls says, tugging on my arm.
"Yes?"
I say, turning towards her.
"Can you do something? Please?"
She looks so scared that I almost want to hug her, but I know that would be inappropriate.
Almost.
"I'm sorry," I say gently, "but there's nothing that I can do. We're trapped."
Silence settles over us, and the weight of our predicament becomes all too real.
Noob starts pacing back and forth, his eyes darting around the cave.
I'm not sure what he's looking for, but I think he might be in denial about our situation.
I scan the walls of the cave, looking for any weaknesses or cracks that we could use to escape.
There aren't any.
The air is thick with tension, and I can feel the fear emanating off of the humans around me.
It's almost palpable.
Suddenly, Noob kicks a loose rock with his foot, sending it clattering across the ground.
The sound echoes through the caves ominously, and everyone jumps in response.
I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.
We need to stay rational if we're going to survive this.
"Protogen," Noob says, coming over to me and grabbing my arm.
"We need to get out of here. Now."
"I know," I say firmly, placing my hand on his shoulder.
"But we need to stay calm. Panicking will not help us."
He nods, swallowing hard.
I can see the fear in his eyes, but he's trying to stay strong for his friends.
I admire that about him.
"Let's keep moving forward," I say loudly, addressing everyone.
We have to find another way.
