25 One Who Fell

25 One Who Fell "That's right where it happened," said Little-Bit, her eyes filling up. "That's where 72 sacrificed themselves to help us." She turned to hug Mum, unable to stop the tears tumbling down her cheeks. Josephine Engelberger, who was standing nearby, walked over to Peanut. "Sorry to intrude, but did I hear you say that you think that might be the RAZER who helped you first get to the Spire?" she asked. "Yes," replied Peanut. "That's 72. A proper Resistance hero. And to

think, they've just been lying there at the bottom of the Rainbow Lake all this time. They really should have got a proper send-off and been honoured by the city in some way. A special funeral, maybe." "I totally agree. They were a truly remarkable machine, by the sound of it," said Josephine thoughtfully. "I wonder..." "You wonder what?" asked Peanut. Oh, er, nothing," said the woman. "But... but, yes. I think you're right, 72 should definitely get a proper send-off. I, er, I won't be long. Josephine walked around the edge of the lake towards the drawbridge. She stopped on the way to talk to a couple of the RAZERs who were helping to marshal the crowds— one of their first directives from 67, their new boss. After a brief conversation, the three of them continued to the drawbridge together. When they got to the other side of the lake, they turned left and walked to the point on the bank directly above 72. The two robots then floated down towards the lifeless, horizontal RAZER, picked them up and lifted them out. Once back on the bank with Josephine, all four figures went, in a solemn procession, across the bridge and

想想看，这么久以来，他们就一直躺在彩虹湖底。 他们本该得到一场像样的送别，接受整座城市的纪念。 说不定还该办一场特别的葬礼。” “我完全同意。 听你们这么说，它真的是一台了不起的机甲，” 约瑟芬若有所思地说。 “我在想……” “你在想什么？” 皮纳特问道。 哦，呃，没什么，” 约瑟芬说道。 “不过……你说得对。 我觉得你说得没错，72号确实该得到一场像样的送别。 我，呃，去去就回。 约瑟芬沿着湖岸朝吊桥走去。 途中她停下来和两个维持人群秩序的锐泽交谈——这是新首领67号给他们的首批指令之一。 简单交谈后，三个人便一起朝着吊桥走去。 走到湖对岸之后，他们左转来到河岸上72号正上方的位置。 随后那两个机器人飘向失去生命、横躺着的锐泽，把它抬了起来。 回到河岸和约瑟芬会合后，四个人排成庄严的队伍走过桥，
