Captivity Narrative

I'm locked in confinement in this land I've never known

Brotron lays decommissioned on the cold concrete floor

How long have I been out?

Has it been days or weeks or more?

My head hurts from the sedatives and all my limbs are sore

A plasma shield is blocking my escape

My first mate could disable it but destruction was his fate

I should have known better than to trust my gut

Drawn by the love of bounty or the thrill of some young slut

Locked inside this cage while there's suffering outside

I just thank my lucky stars that I've been kept alive

My fingers graze the walls as I remember brighter days

No care in the world as I drift through outer space

If there's a chance that I can repair the cyborg lying dead over there

We'd have our chance to escape; blast off and win the day

Fingers race across circuit boards

Reroute power to data cores

I hear the whir, the lights aglow

If I can get it going, then we'll escape this hole

He's waking

The shields can be disabled if we generate the force

With the thorium reactor inside of my torso

I know it's a long shot, but right now it's all we've got

Set the system parameters and overclock the gain

Reroute neural impulses and turn that wall to flames

We made it out of the cell, and ran right into hell
