[Osiris]
Osiris nods, backs up and keeps one eye on Amanda and one on their
surroundings.

[GM]
As Amanda expected, the deadbolts snap with a dull, metallic crack and she
finds herself looking into the store, darkened and strangely ominous
compared to their visit just a brief while ago.

Suddenly the fir stands up on Bongo's neck, while Osiris, Alex and Kyle all
sense immediate danger.
[/GM]

[Osiris]
"Wasn't there a robot..." Osiris starts.
[/Osiris]

[GM]
A laser just barely misses Amanda's shoulder.  Inside can be seen the glint
of metal moving quickly between the aisles.
[/GM]
