Watching from the shadows

"I wonder why the security team haven't had anything to do with us?" asked Coffey, absent mindedly.
"Oh, I believe they are too busy testing their robot in the cargo bay,"
"Ah, well, what harm will we do with a stick of uranium?" asked Coffey laughing. She stopped and looked thoughtfully at Shakespeare as they travelled along the docking bay and into the lift.
"What are we to do with the uranium, William?" she asked, realising that she had no idea why he wanted all this equipment for the robot.
"That, my most glorious of all compatriots," he said warmly, taking her hand once more and kissing it gently, "is the biggest surprise."
He let go of her hands and pressed the button for the floor on which Mercutio was kept. then he turend back to Coffey, and as the doors slowly closed.

Harris stepped out of the shadows of a starbug, watching as the lift doors came to close and then the lift began to move away. Now why would the medical department be want uranium for.
The damn robot wars, Harris throught. But to put uranium into a robot! Too bloody risking for Harris' liking and what would happen if that robot was destoryed, the resulting explosion could take out a very large part of the ship.
Harris then lefted the flight bay and began down towards the lower cargo decks, there were a few rumours he wanted to put to rest.
