Find some food? some clothes? hide?

Find some food.

I have an inspiration, three blocks from here in the garden of old Mrs Blyne I can find , peaches, apples and tomatoes in the orchard.

I try to spot my mom but can't find her ( we have better chances separated ).

I get to the orchard and pick some peaches that I eat as fast as I can while the PUCKER reminds me of how little time is left on the battery.

After 5 or 6 peaches and a long drink from a garden hose, I hear the sexy voice of my mom scream at me again.

POTENTIAL FUEL DETECTED

RAPID ASSIMILATION PROCESS ENGAGED.

I suddenly feel like there is a vacuum cleaner in my guts, the suction is so strong that I even feel air being dragged in my mouth, leaving me in an instant with an empty stomach feeling despite all I ate.

PUCKER POWER AT 14% AND DECREASING.

FIND ADDITIONAL FUEL OR SET SYSTEMS OFFLINE.

7 MINUTES OF CAMOUFLAGE REMAINING.

I have to think, I need to know if I can stay here longer to eat and if something is following me directly.

If I only hide from humans I can use the holographic field rather than the full camouflage.

"Activate short range scanner" I think as loud as I can.

3 HOSTILES.

DISTANCE 435 METERS AND INCREASING.

I remember Dad perstering at the stupidity of the imperial system and teaching me the metric one when I started learning maths (like they do in all the rest of the world he pointed).

They are loising ground so they don't know were I am.

I stuff my face with fruit until there are none left I can grab without a ladder. A few vacuum cleaner episodes later I'm still hungry but I have 34% power on the battery.

The Uranians are even farther now, and after their ship left , they only left two of them to hunt us.

I hope they are lost and not following my mom.

Pondering about the functions of this device, the camouflage off to save power, only hidden by the shadow of a tool shed.

I have an idea.
