The robot stops work the moment it hears a chime coming from the edge of the pit. As you expected, it performs a scan instead of walking there by itself. A lattice of light flashes from its head, highlighting the looping audio file you've spat out, as well as the contraband c1oak.app that's sitting on the ground.
The latter catches its attention easily. A mere sound isn't enough to distract it, but the presence of a very real piece of code does. It leaves its position by the catwalk and heads down the steps, gliding down them with ease. You hold your breath as it approaches the edge.
Once it reaches the object, it picks it up and begins picking its metadata apart, trying to find out all it can about this mysterious item. You lift up the metal bowl you picked up, and have now applied f1oat to. A secondary usage of l1ne keeps it tethered to you. Finally, you make use of f0rce to complete the combo.
Multiple usages are spammed one after another, causing the disc to fly forward. It hits the end of the line tethering you to it, keeps straining to move. You feel the force dragging you forward, causing you to stumble. You nearly flub the whole thing, but manage to catch yourself on a piece of machinery. The line isn't elastic, it's merely a point of reference between two objects. As the impulse builds up, you position yourself so that the sled is pointed straight at the robot, as numerous arrows burst from your palms to declare their directional force.
The usage of so many .apps causes the system to flag you. The bot abruptly turns towards you as your coordinates are shared with it.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">"HALT, TRESPASSER, YOU ARE IN SEVERE VIOLATION OF-"</span></span>
You release the prop, causing it to rocket straight at the bot. It slams into its body and sends it reeling right off the edge. You sprint towards your disc as it rebounds, making sure it's not lost to the abyss below.
