Bab 150: A critical negotiation

Activating his termination protocol, SAHARA prepared to fire his missiles. But just before he could initiate the launch, one of the Scouts spoke up.

"Please, don't kill me! I'll tell you everything!"

SAHARA held back for the present and lowered his missile launchers. However, he kept his minigun trained on Guzman. 

"What the hell are you doing, Cole?" Guzman grunted, giving the Scout a sideways look. 

"I'm doing what you should have done!" the Scout snapped back at him. "There's no way we can defeat an android. I've already seen what he did to the convoy. And I don't want to join the dead so soon."

"You've freaking lost your damn mind, Cole! He will kill you regardless of whether you tell him about our plans or not!"

"That is an incorrect assumption," Sahara intervened. "I promise not to harm anyone willing to assist me in apprehending the rebels. Rest assured that you will have a place in the new world, along with the rest of your kind."
