Tom suddenly tenses up, sits on the rock, still completely naked, aware that the chirping of birds has disappeared. He signals with his finger to Lara to be quiet. A moment ago, it was completely calm, and suddenly, the fact that Leroy is not by their side makes him tense. He stretches his neck and tries to look around, but he sees nothing. Suddenly, a group of bald men breaks out with blood-curdling howls and grab him. Helpless, he tries to fight them, their strange faces instilling fear, with their tattered and torn jumpsuits, but he is immobilized by their strong hands. In the corner of his eye, he sees in horror how Lara herself is captured by several figures leaping towards her in the water with their clothes, and how they play with her like predators with their prey before they pounce on her and violate her. Out of the group emerges the leading android and the stand in front of him. Particularly towering and coarse, with broken front teeth and a big smile on his face. It is evident that he leads them not necessarily due to his wisdom but by the power of his arm.
TOM
Tell them to leave her alone!
The leader forcefully pushes Tom, who is still naked, until his senses are overwhelmed. Then, the leader signals, and two men push the shocked Tom into the water. He stands in the water, regains his composure, while above him on the rocks, seven androids stand, looking at him. He looks at those in the water, not far from him, surrounding Lara, and he discovers to his astonishment that among them are also several female androids. His eyes meet Lara's, and he sees that she is calm and peaceful, accepting whatever may happen to them. Tom's heart churns and a bitter taste of defeat rises from deep in his throat.
TOM (from the water)
Release us. We haven't done anything to harm you.
The leader stands above him, laughing.
LEADER
I didn't know there were still humans left.
TOM (stands resolutely without any cover).
As an android, you are committed to assist every human being unconditionally.
LEADER
Yes, but not for the android accompanying you.
The leader points towards Lara, who is standing in the water, completely naked up to her neck, surrounded by men and women.
TOM
She is my personal attendant, and you must treat her with the same respect as you treat me.
