[There's a group of smug-looking twenty-somethings milling around about twenty feet away, trying to look casual and innocent and not doing a very good job of it. The fact that one of them is wearing a sweatshirt with EARTH FOR HUMANS emblazoned across the front doesn't do them any favors, either.
As soon as he spots them, Alfie makes a beeline for them. A series of oh, shit looks cross the dudes' faces; clearly being caught and confronted wasn't a part of their plans today. Thinking quickly, Mr. Earth for Humans decides to muddy the water by gesturing wildly to the bot and calling out:]
Hey! I just saw that bot's light turn red! It's malfunctioning!
[In this city's political and social climate, nothing riles up a crowd more than a malfunctioning, potentially dangerous bot.]
