The robots down below clearly did not appreciate the wonder that was Sasuke's shouting; they began whirring and clanking and generally robot-ing up the stairs at a pace that was much improved from the last time they'd been let loose in the warehouse. Only one of them stopped to do what looked vaguely like the Egyptian for a few seconds before joining the others.

Oh, they were coming, all right. By now, Heiji was with the gurney in a side hallway, waiting for the robots to rush past after Sasuke. Fingers crossed...
