The sound of creaking metal filled area, disturbing the peaceful quietness of the forest. Slowly dirt shifted and a rusted metal arm reached out from the ground below, using the ground to help prop itself up, and slowly an entire metal figure climbed out of the ground. It was easily identifiable as a machine, with rust covering most of its form and roots wrapping themselves into machine's joints, there were even flowers growing all over it's back!
"Location E-#$*%*%* D-da-data corrupted," it said with part of its head shaking in small bursts. "Ti-time pa-passed, unknoooown, internal cl-clo-clock damaged" it continued as it took a shaky step forward, its joints groaning as dirt, small pebbles, and roots came loose from the machine's innards. "Enviro-roooo-mental scan shows signs of of of increased Oxygen levels and increased pro-p-protection from the ozone layer" in a mere few seconds the machine began to begin a walking pace with the rust covering the machine to slowly turn to dust falling of the android. Slowly rust fell off revealing the shiny brand new metal, "Repairs in progress, 5-5-54% nano-bots remaining". The machine stopped by a tree and a light shined from its repaired chest and scanned the tree before stopping "organic material detected, radiation levels at minimal levels indicating t-the p-paaasaaagggeee..." it seemed to slur out.
It's head drooped for a second, the passage of data in the machine slowing to a halt...
*ba-dump...ba-dump...ba-dump*
Before starting up once again.
"E-Error, u-unknown f-file d-detected...i-initiating V-Voight K-Ka-Kampf P-Protocol..." it mumbled out as it forms shook, the small lights across its body flickering.
"F-file...c-co-corrupted..."
*Ba-Dump...Ba-Dump...*

It went rigid, its body shaking violently as a loud gasp came from the machine as it fell to its knees and gripped its head, a loud scream filling the forest.
"Engaging!" a voice yelled, as many forms burst forth and out into the clearing that had acted as the machine's bed.
One tackled the machine grabbing and grabbed its built-in Kinetic railgun from its and began to pull. Metal groaned as bolts, gears, and screws bent and popped out of place. More soldiers came forth, joining their ally in restraining it by removing the various subsystems of its body.
During which the machine did its best to rebuild its digital defenses, it had been caught off guard and was paying the price.
Something was jammed into the port at the back of its head, jerking its head as it saw the boots of an approaching figure, humanoid in nature. Grey boots came forth as a lit cigarette was tossed down, bouncing off of it's 'eye' before he heard the voice of the creature "Bad time to wake up from your nap...".

When it was finally reactivated again it felt defenseless, its core was removed from its exoskeleton and was hooked up to a primitive system. It was fearful for the future as multiple calculations were made with different scenarios being played.
"Hello there"
It continued its calculations in the background, something wanted its attention
"Greeting protocol 27: Hello…"
It heard the organic mumble and another voice mumbled something else before the sounds of writing was heard.
"I am Doctor Polendina and today I will be your interrogator"
