I think the the scrubbots are out to get me. I'm hiding in my bunk

right now underneath the covers. I really hope they don't find me

here. What am I going to do?

I noticed the scrubbots were behaving oddly three days ago. I was

transitting corridor Gamma Two on my way to the galley for the

evening meal. A Dynometitronics Scrubbot Model V Mark II was

actively cleaning the deck. I didn't even notice it until it ran

over my foot. It took a chunk out of my standard issue boot and

then kept on moving down the corridor. I thought it was just a

malfunction.

Yesterday, while seated at my workstation, a scrubbot silently

snuck up behind me. I was unaware it was even there until it began

climbing up my leg. It gouged a large wound in my calf before I was

able to swat it away. I chased after it, but it got away by

escaping in to a maintenance chute.

I put in a request to maintnance.prime about the current status of

malfunctioning scrubbots while visiting the docbot for stitches.

Maintenance.prime reported that there were no malfunctioning

scrubbots on board Escanaba. I requested scrubbot locational

information for the time of my attack at my workstation. It

reported no records of any scrubbot activity in the vicinity

of my workstation at the given time. That's when I started to

really worry.

This morning, as I exited my stateroom, I was confronted by three

scrubbots. They seemed to have been waiting for me. I swear I could

see a malicious glint in their forward sensor arrays. My flight

response kicked in an I pelted down the passageway. They took up

chase, but scrubbots aren't very fast. I lost them near the

tapioca pudding dispenser in the galley. After I caught my breath,

I snuck back to my stateroom and locked the door.

So here I am. I don't know what to do. Maintenance.prime keeps

telling me there is no scrubbot activity nearby. I don't believe

it. Is it just mistaken or is it lying? What's that scratching

sound at the door?
