Ross spent most of the day being chased around the sector...

He was just trying to escape from the chasers, but it was becoming evident there wasn't going to be any easy respite. The chasers were everywhere, and they were determined and organised to catch him.

An escape would require some extra help. Ross was chased around in circles.

He's heading for Engineering lab 2. Looks like he's after the new crypto cards. We can trap him there.

Really? He must be crazy! What does he want those useless cards for? He's wasting his time anyway. He won't get past the pit.

We're not sure why he want's them. Our suspicions are confidencial

It doesn't matter, he won't get past the pit

But if he does, then we'll trap him, and let me talk to him, OK?

OK

Eh? Did Ross have an hidden benefactor?

From that event, Ross drew a reassuring but spooky feeling someone was watching over his perilous predicament

With the final sacrifice of the last owl robot, Ross was able to escape the authoritys again.

But while Ross had made up his mind to trust a toy robot one more time, he was far from sure that he was doing the right thing.

Arron's alternative story was causing Ross much distress. Was he being manipulated by a criminal programmer into commiting crimes?

The truth was still far from clear. Many questions still needed answers. No matter how much thought Ross gave it, there wasn't enough infomation to decide one way or the other.

All the time, the force that drove Ross forward was the possibilty that he would find out about what had happened to his father.

And so, the adventure of another runner had started. Could Ross evade the chasers of the authoritys for long? What awaits Ross back in the secret hiding place in the forrest? Would Ross change sides and submit to those he had spent the last few days running from?

Find out, in the next episode of... 

RETRO RUNNER !!!

Ross had battled past the forrest chasers and was now able to recouperate

But except avoiding being caught, he had no idea what his purpose was.

Was there anyone to help him out here, deep in the lonely forrest?
