The Disc

[The Nova ROX]

Sparky ran all the way to the museum. When she got there, she discovered Dr.Wailee talking to the museum staff. "Dr.Wailee!" Sparky called.

[Guest Trace]

The mechanical marvel stood seven feet tall then the screen said, "My speech software is corrupted, that is why I could not communicate my arrival."

Its body was bulky and thin at the same time. It is 2086 robotics work on a 2007 design.

"Please explain what or who you are." said a general who wanted answers.

"2007 was not the best year. Crime had run out of control and global warming was threatening the very survival of Earth. I used my robotics and design techniques to build myself a new body. The I stole robotic nerve endings and I programed my AI computers to remove my brain and transfuse it into my new robot shell. I was purly experimental and I used my newfound abilities to built 7 steel boxes which could enter Earth's atmosphere and leave it at ease."

[Empress Keiko]

"Sparky! Nice to see you! Well it would be..." Metal pincers pinned sparky to the ground. "But I'm not Wailee." Saria tip-toed to the imposter. She stole the book from his hands and punched him in the temple. The imposter fell to the ground. The staff ran away. "Now, who says excercising is bad? Dr. Wailee is unconcious in my house."

[Guest Trace]

More words continued one the screen while the cyborg stood completly still, "I acuired the means to create Ununquadium through atom disinitegration and recombination. A very carfully thought through 121 step process. I used it to create my home in the stars, and my little pod that I used to come down here. In 2067 I left Earth orbit to study Alpha Centauri and Epsilon Eridani. Now I return, answering your questions. Now answer my question, do you have the nessesary hardware to fix my speech circuts?"

 

Will was watching the news and could not believe what was happening.

Dr. Masolow spoke, "The book described this cyborgs method for creating Ununquadium, I just never took it seriously. Now I see this... this Disc, and I wonder if he is primitive as others think."

[The Nova ROX]

"Thanks! Saria, where's the book? I need it. I have the technology of the box's time and have accesed Jupiter tons of info, and need to get Max's book back to him..." Sparky pulled the pincers of her and stretched.

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

The area around the craft was closed off and the cyborg was brought to a military facility, where it replaced its own speech circuts.

"Well can you please explain more for us?" asked a technition who help it find the nessesary part it needed.

"Of course ask away." it said in a digitalized, raspy voice.

"Do you have a name?"

"Once, not anymore. You can just call me T1."

"Where are you from?"

"Earth"

"Where were you before landing back on Earth?"

"The Disc."

"The Disc?"

"Yes, my greatest creation. Packed with enough pawer to blow up a sun. Not that you will tell anyone."

"What do yo..."

The Cyborg quickly jumped up with incredible agility and crushed the technition's neck.

"Earth will fall soon, I will make sure of it."

The Cyborg stood to full height and helped itself to the weapons place conviniently ajacent to the dead man in the middle of the room.

[Empress Keiko]

Saria read the book. "Ununquadium...I've heard of it...very rarre. Sparky? The man inside the disc wants to blow up something....it probably will be Earth...we need to find how to destroy it.'

[The Nova ROX]

"I bet we do. And I bet I know how to do it. I've got tons of old technology back at my house. I also promised I'd get this book back to Max, or Dr. Dringo." Sparky flipped rapidly through the book.

[Empress Keiko]

Saria hacked into the robot of Dr. Wailee. She found crazy things. "This robot was meant to destroy everything and is superpowerful. Exept this isnt the real one...there are 99 more...and there are shapeshifters! We'll never be able to find them...." Saria looked more into the data. "Wait! I found that they are made to track and kill a few people.....One is Dr. Masolow. Others are....." Saria cursed loudly. "We're on the list!"

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

The cyborg burts through the front doors of the facility. It had ten plasma repeaters attached to each of its arms and it quickly made waste to the vechicles outside. After destroying the air defence turrets, it jumped into its ship, which was just brought to the facility just before the cyborg started its rampage.

 

Newsreport:

"Moments after the cyborg's landing it was brought here to, what remains of, The Kalkagth Reserch and Defense facility. No one knows exactly what happened, but satillite observation has shown us this:"

Airel view of a large figure shooting guards and vehicles.

"It does appear that we have underestimated this new threat."

[The Nova ROX]

Sparky was in a bad mood. "You think we're on? We found those dumb boxes in the first place!" Sparky looked at the list. "Max and Dr. Dringo! I know exactly were both of them are right now and I can get us there."

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

The boxes began to make a high pitched whine, then the whine began to get lower in pitch every two seconds.

[The Nova ROX]

"C'mon!" Sparky grabbed Saria and activated her PortaPod. When they landed back outside Max's house, Sparky could see one of the robots in there.

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

It looked Sparky straight in the eyes, then it twisted its arm into a machine gun and began firing.

 

Will and Dr. Masolow covered their ears at the sound of the high pitched whine the box was emitting. As it slowly lowered in pitch a large robot with 26th century design burst through the door with plasma rifles at the ready. But it didn't attack.

"Why isn't it attacking?" asked Will, amazed.

"I don't know." said Dr. Masolow, still holding the box.

[The Nova ROX]

Sparky somersaulted to the other side of the room and jumped at the robot. Sparky grabbed a cable on Max's table and hogtied the robot.

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

The robot just sat there tied up and said, "You are worthy."

A yellow beam surounded Sparky and Saria. Before they could react, they were suddenly in a beautiful feild. But someting was incredibly strange. The horizon seamed to curve upward. Unlike a planet's horizon, which curves downward with the curvature of the planet.

 

Will and Dr. Masolow were still astranged by the robot. Then it said, "You are worthy."

A yellow beam surounded Will and Dr. Masolow. They soon experienced the same phenomonon Sparky and Saria were undergoing. The question yet to be answered was clear, "Where are we?"

[The Nova ROX]

Sparky looked at the robot with a hostile face. "Where are we?!?!"

 

Back in the lab, Dr. Dringo and Max were puzzling over what had just happened. "Where did Sparky go?"

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

The robot said nothing. It just grabbed the box from Saria and placed it on the ground.

The box then opened, revieling a hologram recording. It was a massive, black object. The recording was a flyby, truely this object was not made by traditional means. Humanity has never, not even in the 35th century, made something so massive and so advanced.

Then the view changed, showing several thousands of space cruisers and battleships. They looked like they were preparing to fire, on the massive object.

[The Nova ROX]

"Oh, don't even go there."

[Guest Christmas Trace (Not Tree)]

"Whether you want to stay or not, this is your new home now. Welcome to The Disc, enjoy your stay." said the robot, then a yellow beam formed around the robot and it was gone.

[The Nova ROX]

"What's going on? New home? But I left all my equipment back at my house! How do you expect me to survive without my junk?!"

[Empress Keiko]

"I'm not going to stay here at all!" Saria broke into the box with her POD. The box started to fizzle, and then it broke into pieces. Hey look, these are the pieces to make a teleport!

[The Nova ROX]

"I already have a teleport." Said Sparky as if she could read Saria's thought's.

[Guest Tyler]

A beam of yellow energy beamed behind them and a man materialized in the beam. He looked like he was in some kind of armor, the metallic surface of the armor gleamed from the light of the artificial sun directly above them. He was carrying an assault riffle that appeared to be from 2100. His armor looked to be from 2350. He stood tall and said, "Your hand held teleports aren't strong enough to pierce the indestructible shell that is the disc, slowly rotating to keep gravity. The magnificent installation the overseer has built with his own hands and inventions to escape the tyranny of mankind and his laws and wars. He goes by the name of Nemo. Come, he wishes me to bring you to his quarters."

[Empress Keiko]

I'm not making a hand held teleport, but I don't want to mess with this guy... "Why does he want to see us? If he hates mankind, what are we here for?"
