Talos' inside was hot and Bianca felt beads of swet rolling down her forehead. The room with the controls was tiny, but she managed to figure the mecanics out. The 2 longer levers for legs, the switched were for knee angles, the 2 shorter levers were for arms and the big knob to twist was for the neck...
She started pulling at all of them. At first not considering her movements just moving back from where she knew Percy, Zoë and Grover were, not too sure about thalia though...
She got the hang of it fast. Hey, maybe Hephaestus wasn't that far off of a guess... The automaton even obliged to the chicken dance.
It got even hotter as she kept going. But Talos was still fighting to keep going after her friends and that was something Bianca couldn't allow. She pulled mais and mais buttons.
Suddenly it fought against her and she lost control. She was thrust back against a pannel of switched and the point of an Arqueiro in her quiver dug into the pannels and ripped a wire. Sparks flew, Bianca was drenched in swet. Then Talos hit something outside, but passed right through it continuing his wild race. Those electric wires maybe?
She tried to get up but the robot moved too violently and fast, the trap door from which she'd came in had closed shut. She started to crawl towards it, she had to leave, but then Talos crumbled to pieces and Bianca was trapped in the control area as it hit the ground and the damaged wiring finally exploaded on her.
Litterally on her...
