Captured Sneak Peak
"Anything we can use?" Tom asked as he returned from his fifth scouting trip.
"Not unless you include the front door," Jack joked. "That thing's locked up tighter that Area 51."
"Have you pinpointed exactly where we are? These's hills could be anywhere from the Arctic to the Sahara after they completed terraforming," Tom questioned.
"So where are we?" Tom questioned as he watched the carnage.
"Believe it or not, but we're in Devon," Jack laughed. "A thousand years away and yet we end up stuck in the one place we know better than the back of our hands."
"You know that also means that rescuing Darren just got a lot harder; they're adapted to us here more than anywhere else," Tom explained as the colour drained out of Jack's face. "Exactly..."

The Robot caught it and swung him across the
landing and into the wall before falling down onto one of the other two Robots,
crushing it and riding it down the stairs and into the airing cupboard. The
Robot at the top of the stairs grabbed Vicky turned and walked towards a white
Portal where she was rendered unconscious by a smack to the back of the head.
The Robot then took off through the Portal.

After another half hour Erin woke up alone in the
room in which Emily and the others had placed her in. "What
happened?" she mumbled to herself as she sat up. "Emily? Ollie?
Anyone!" she asked her voice coming out as an almost silent whisper.
Outside she heard footsteps which she hoped was
someone she knew. Then came the clucking, and the burring of hard-drives and
fans, "Dammit," she snapped quietly and bolted for the door which she
spun open and into the robots face, rendering it destroyed on the floor.
"Huh,
I always wondered why Tom steel plated these things," she smirked to
herself before grabbing the robot's arm and ripping it off to use as a weapons.
The fourth and third floors were empty; the second
on the other hand, was the most poorly designed floor when it came to
defending. It was empty with the exception of a few support beams, like
completely empty, Erin found it surprising that there was even air within the
room remember the time that Tom designed her room as a vacuum; granted it was a
simple design malfunction; but he still didn't notice until her mum almost
suffocated when she went into the room.
She searched the room before completely leaving
the stairwell, just to ensure that the robots weren't waiting for her. Luckily
for her they weren't.
