Episode 11 Mission: 2110

Previously on Mission: 2110...

The Roboidz. They were meant to be our servants.

But now they hunt down and destroy any human life they can find.

Three padlocks and a load of chains

before you can grab those bio-rods.

-You're nearer the Shade now. Can you smell him?

-He stinks!

I need courage, bravery. Recruits who won't flinch with fear.

Grab that bio-rod! Draw the rod. Go for it! Run!

-Forwards!

-You can put a serious dint in their armoury.

Blue recruits, throw that switch.

That's overloaded him! Get in and grab those bio-rods!

They're strong. Almost unstoppable. But we can take back Earth

if we work together.

The time is coming. I can almost smell it in the air.

The final challenges are upon us.

I am one recruit away from finding my perfect team.

Meanwhile, they still torment us.

They still march in their thousands.

They still consider Future Gate to be their home.

But not for long.

The Earth may have been crushed by the Roboidz,

but now the resistance is strong.

My name is Caleb.

And this is Mission: 2110.

The day of reckoning is upon us!

Well, don't ask me how, but somehow you scruffy bunch have survived

to battle the Roboidz another day. Rhiann and Poppy,

you did pretty well on Crash Test.

-We communicated well.

-We kept our instincts about us.

Nick, less success on Chain Break.

-The stench of the Shade put me off.

-Fair enough. That can happen.

And Jodietron. You did well on Live Wire. Tell me about it.

-I kept a steady hand and got the most bio-rods.

-Yes, you did.

Well done all round, recruits.

It's a good job you look lively. You're about to face more Shades

and Roboidz than you've ever seen before.

How are you at waving goodbye to each other? Practise.

You need those skills. By the end of today, one of you will be vaporised.

The only way to stay safe is to collect as many bio-rods as you can

and weaken the enemy.

You'll be pleased to know I know where there are loads.

Onwards to Scavengers!

OK, recruits. You know the score.

The only way to defeat the Roboidz is by taking away their power.

We can only do that by stealing their bio-rods.

Fortunately, the upper engine room is riddled with them.

Unfortunately, it's also riddled with festering Shades.

You can smell them from here.

The mindless, slobbering servants of the Roboidz.

You must never touch a Shade. If you do, you're out of the Mission.

The Shades are working on some kind of generator.

It's powered by no less than 12 bio-rods.

Steal them away and we turn their precious generator into robo-junk.

All 12 are up for grabs, if you can find them.

They're hidden in boxes throughout the room.

Some boxes contain more than one. Others are completely empty.

Beware. There's a guard at this end of the room so move quietly.

Stay away from the generator if you want to avoid detection.

Finally, you must meet me at the other side of the room

before your time runs out.

-If you fail to do that, you lose all your bio-rods. Are we clear?

-Yes.

Get stuck in. Go for it!

Mission on!

OK, recruits. There are 12 bio-rods to find in the upper engine room.

Get scavenging!

-Yes, I've found one!

-Great start, Nick. 11 more to find.

You've been working so long on this. It's every recruit for themselves.

Try not to get trapped by those Shades.

They're incredibly smelly, and deadly too.

Be quick with those chains, Jodie, before the Shades approach!

One touch and it'll be mission over.

-There's a shade behind us!

-Rhiann,

a bio-rod for you. Excellent.

Where are the Shades?

Don't get trapped in-between those Shades.

Keep a close look-out at all times.

Two bio-rods for you, Poppy.

Rhiann, you've got your second.

Beware, the Shades are all around you.

The Guard's been disturbed. All recruits get out of that area!

Some boxes are empty, Jodie. This mission can be frustrating!

Come on, Rhiann. Reach higher.

Shade! There's a Shade! Go!

Quick!

Finally, Jodie, your first bio-rod.

Recruits, you only have 50 seconds left. Get looking!

Well spotted, Rhiann. You got that bio-rod from under the Shade's nose.

Recruits, not long left.

If you get trapped in the area, you'll lose all your bio-rods.

Poppy, you're taking a risk. You have seconds to escape to safety!

Get out of there now!

That's good going. Let's see how many bio-rods you got.

Rhiann, three bio-rods. Very well done.

Poppy, two. Good work.

Nick and Jodie, one apiece. Good work all round.

It was very scary with the Shades and the Roboidz in there.

It was very tricky to try and get round them.

I was scared cos when you see the Shades coming down that alley,

with bright eyes, just staring at you,

it's like, "Get out! Get out! Get out!" It's really scary.

I did OK. I only got one bio-rod.

I was hoping for another one. But it's whatever happens on the day.

The robot was massive. You don't believe how tall it really is.

If you stand up against it, you're about his knee height.

When you've got that running after you, it's scary!

Ah! I am Neuros, the one and only Neuros!

Caleb, you have no chance against me.

My Roboidz will destroy you and squash your face into the dirt!

You are a waste of space and your recruits are losers!

Ha, ha, ha!

Hit the Neuros. Hit the Neuros.

Sorry. Five years alone on Future Gate

will do that to a person. Note to self, Caleb.

"Don't be such an idiot!"

Where were we? Oh, yes - saving the world!

Let's go!

OK, recruits. Stay close to me. Keep pressed against this wall.

We've moved to Cargo Hold One of the many Future Gate ships.

Plenty more opportunities for stealing bio-rods.

You will face the metal brutes of the Cycon empire,

the Workers. Created for punishing manual labour,

these guys have as much brains as my bionic arm.

Sadly, they've got more muscles than all of us put together.

There's a drone-class Roboidz experimenting with chemicals.

They're creating an explosive to use against the Resistance. They must be stopped. That's where you come in.

In the drums at the upper level are various toxic meta-molecules.

The Workers are mixing them to create a dangerous compound

called SGP-60,

which is so volatile, it could blow this whole place apart.

You have to separate these catalysts from the other chemicals.

You can only carry one at a time because they're so unstable. Aghh!

The recruit who manages to gather the most catalysts will be rewarded

with two bio-rods.

Second place gets one bio-rod. Two of you will get nothing.

Watch out for the Shades, and get grabbing!

Mission on!

The Worker is dropping the first load of toxic meta-molecules.

You're working solo in this mission.

The recruit with the most catalysts will be rewarded with bio-rods.

Good work. One more catalyst means less chance of an explosion.

Be careful of the Shades mixing up the meta-molecules. Touch them,

you're out of the Mission.

More meta-molecules are on their way!

Looks like Jodie and Nick are slightly ahead.

Rhiann and Poppy, you need to collect the most catalysts

to be rewarded with the most bio-rods.

The Worker is sending more meta-molecules down.

Remember, you can only grab one catalyst at a time

because they're highly volatile.

Rhiann, you're catching up with Nick and Jodie,

but you need to hurry up.

-How are you doing, Nick?

-Good.

I think I've got a few.

Good work.

Watch out for those Shades, Poppy. Touch them and you're out.

-Rhiann, can you see any more catalysts?

-I think I see a few.

We've got to get them all.

There's four catalysts left, recruits.

You've got to grab all of them. We have to clear the area of catalysts

to avert this explosion. You're doing well, Poppy.

-But have you left it too late?

-I've got another one.

-Got one!

-Well done, Poppy. That's the last one.

Congratulations, recruits. You've averted a dangerous explosion here.

I can reveal we've just one more mission to go before the Vaporiser.

The recruit who collected the most catalysts,

and so wins two bio-rods is...

Jodie. Very well done.

The recruit with the second-most catalysts who receives one bio-rod,

is Nick. Nice one.

Rhiann, Poppy, got something for you here. No bio-rods at all.

One more mission before the Vaporiser, guys.

You've got to pick this up.

The Scatterground was quite fun, but the balls were hard to find.

I managed to get one more bio-rod. That's my third.

Two behind Rhiann. I want to catch him up.

I'll be back in the game.

It was quite tricky and you had to have a keen eye

for spotting the catalysts.

Clearly I didn't have as keen an eye as maybe I could have done.

I felt absolutely ecstatic that I won those two bio-rods.

I thought Nick would win the bio-rods

because he was a flying machine.

Jodie and Nick did fantastic work in that last mission.

All the recruits made short work of separating those meta-molecules.

Excellent stuff. But no matter how many times I study these plans,

I just can't work out where the Roboidz are replenishing.

They must have a factory on board somewhere.

I've seen new Roboidz on Upper Deck.

I just can't work out where they're coming from.

They're like cockroaches, seemingly impossible to kill off.

The answer must lie in finding N:Lab

and the destruction of Neuros.

The problem is finding N:Lab.

Since the last time we were there, they keep moving N:Lab around

to protect their evil queen bee.

No worries. We will find N:Lab

and we will remove Neuros's sting once and for all.

Hello, Cybele.

Hello, Caleb.

The time has come again. No more games.

No more tests. The real thing.

-Will the recruits be ready?

-Oh, they're ready.

They're spoiling for a fight.

They're tough. And clever.

-Fearless.

-Then this time, you will be successful.

-We thought that last time.

-This is no time to question yourself, Caleb.

You have to lead your unit. You have to make sure that they win.

-You're right. No time for weakness.

-That's right.

-There's still training to be done.

-Caleb, I want you to know -

I know I've never really been the ideal mother.

Even before I became this. But you could never have been a better son.

Thanks.

If only I remembered.

Quickly, recruits! We've been spotted by a Wardroid!

We have to move fast, out of harm's way and onto our next mission.

That Wardroid knows that someone or something is in this area.

We have to stay stealthy to avoid being zapped by its vector beam.

Everything could change now. There are two more bio-rods up for grabs

if we can sneak them away from that Wardroid.

Officially known to its Cycon creators

as a battle-class Roboid.

They are master tacticians intent on destruction

with surprisingly low robot intelligence.

Fingers crossed that comes in useful in the next mission.

In a moment, you guys will set up position on these shocker pads.

I think the Wardroid is testing a time portal apparatus

by programming this machine with sequences of coloured lights.

I need you to mimic its movements exactly. If you fail,

the consequences could be deadly. Alarms will sound

and it will blast you with its vector beams.

You will work individually to follow that sequence without error.

If you step incorrectly, or don't take a step when it's your turn,

then you're out of the mission.

-Last recruit standing picks up those two bio-rods. Clear?

-Yes.

Go for it! Get stuck in.

Mission on!

Recruits, you need to concentrate on the order of lights.

The Wardroid is planning a sequence of five colours.

Stay focused, and keep your concentration.

This is not a team mission. It's one against one.

Don't be put off by the others.

-Begin.

-Red.

-Yellow.

No! Nick, that's the wrong step. The Wardroid has detected you!

Remember your panic button!

I can't believe Nick made a careless mistake on his first step!

But we are now down to three. Keep your focus, recruits.

We're now going on to a sequence of nine colours.

You can't afford to make any mistakes and alert that Wardroid.

This is the last chance to claim bio-rods before the Vaporiser.

You have to keep your concentration.

If it's your move and you're taking too long,

the time sensors will kick in.

If that Wardroid suspects you're in the area,

it'll fire its vector beam again. So make no mistakes

and get every light in the sequence correct.

Begin.

Green.

Blue.

Yellow.

Blue.

Green.

Yellow.

Green.

Blue.

Rhiann, you stepped in the wrong order! Look out for the vector beam!

Get out of there!

And then there were two.

You're going head to head. May the best recruit

with the best memory succeed.

This is another sequence of nine lights. Concentrate, recruits.

Only one of you will walk away with two precious bio-rods.

And whoever that is will avoid the Vaporiser.

Never has a mission been so important!

One mistake now and it's mission over.

Just hold your nerve, recruits.

Begin.

Yellow.

Green.

Yellow.

Bad luck, Poppy. That's incorrect. Get out of there!

It was, in fact, a green step we were looking for.

Congratulations, Jodie, you've survived the Shocker.

Run and grab those bio-rods, quick!

Well done, Jodie. You will be spared the Vaporiser. How do you feel?

Absolutely amazing!

Oh, I'm just so happy!

I've got another two bio-rods. Let's see if I can keep it going

and keep my winning strike.

It was incredibly hard. You had to keep your wits about you

and have a keen eye for colour, good memory.

It was really hard.

It went wrong a little bit. I lost concentration.

Poppy knew it was her go. I thought it was mine.

I stepped forward and got eliminated.

I'm gutted I have to do the Vaporiser now.

It'll probably be really hard.

If I hadn't taken the wrong step, I might have got the bio-rods.

I'm continuing in my quest to find out more

about the time that my recruits are from.

The Cycon Book of Archives has a section on the 21st-century kid.

Ah. "Social networking - chatting to friends."

Sounds a bit like my intergalactic racebook account

I set up a few years ago.

Let's just see. I'll log in and get online.

Cybele swears there's no-one left, but you never know.

One friend request.

From Sherbet Cyclo-blib-blob from the planet Glurb.

"Likes licking rocks. Has a stupid amount of legs,

"wears a vest and is green and slimy."

Friendship request rejected.

This will never catch on.

So, recruits, welcome to the Vaporiser,

this monstrous matrix deep in the underbelly of the Future Gate ships.

It's here that we will be bidding a fond farewell

to one of you.

The rules are simple. You must make your way across the Vaporiser

one step at a time

from your starting corner to the doorway opposite.

But you won't be alone.

Also making their way across the grid are three big, ugly Roboidz.

You must not step into their paths or allow them to step into yours.

If that happens, you will be vaporised.

The recruit with the most bio-rods at this stage -

that's Jodie, with an impressive nine -

will be automatically safe from the Vaporiser.

-Yes!

-That means that the three of you will be competing

for just two places in the next stage of Mission: 2110.

The recruit with the most bio-rods at this stage, Poppy,

will take the first step, followed by you others in turn.

I'm sorry, recruits. On this mission,

there are no panic buttons to get yourselves safe.

So good luck. And to one of you, goodbye.

Mission on!

Recruits, prepare for the deadliest of missions - the Vaporiser.

The Vaporiser controls the directions of the Roboidz

by changing colour.

The next time the enemy step, it will be right, as the grid is green.

Remember that, and take your first step.

This is a mission of strategy, so keep your wits about you

and step cautiously. Poppy,

-take a step.

-Forward.

-Rhiann, take a step.

-Forward.

-Nick.

-Forward.

-The last time the Vaporiser changed colour,

the lights turned green. This means the Roboidz step right. Now,

the lights are purple. That means the Roboidz will step left next.

Remember, you can never retrace your steps. Poppy, when you're ready.

Left.

Left.

Right.

Try not to get trapped. Otherwise, the Roboidz will vaporise you.

The lights are blue. That means the Roboidz will step forwards next.

Forward.

Left.

Forward.

The first two recruits to make it through their doorways opposite

will join me in Phase III.

The Vaporiser has turned green.

That's a right move next for the enemy.

Poppy, when you're ready.

Left.

-Which way, Rhiann?

-Left.

Nick, you need to decide whether to head for the middle

or try to sneak round the outside.

-It's up to you, but you need to step now.

-Right.

The guard can sense something's in the area, so try to keep cool.

The lights have turned green again.

That means the Roboidz will step right next.

Poppy, take a step.

Forward.

Rhiann, make a move.

Left.

-How are you feeling, Nick?

-A little bit nervous.

The silver one keeps eye-balling me.

OK, Nick. Take a step.

Right.

Remember, recruits, for one of you, this will be mission over.

The lights are purple.

That means the Roboidz will step left next.

Guys, you're doing well.

When you're ready, make a decision.

Left.

Left.

Nick?

What are your options?

I can go forward, or I can go onto the same triangle as Rhiann.

You cannot step onto the same triangle as Rhiann.

And you cannot retrace your steps.

So you have only one move.

-OK.

-Make that move.

-Forward.

Last time the lights were purple. Your enemy moves left.

Purple again.

-Poppy?

-Forward.

-Rhiann?

-Left.

-Nick?

-Left.

-That move has brought you closer to the guard Roboid.

But maybe that was a sensible strategy.

We'll have to find out.

The Roboidz are stepping left.

And left again. Purple must be the Vaporiser's favourite colour.

Poppy, take a step.

Left.

-Another big decision for you, Rhiann. Make a move.

-Left.

Nick. You're getting pretty close to that guard.

Make a step.

Left.

The Wardroid's vector beam is deactivated.

But that rip claw is ready to lash out.

The lights are blue, recruits.

That means the Roboidz step forwards next.

Remember, you can never retrace your steps.

Poppy, time to make a move.

Forwards.

Left.

Left.

Don't get too cocky, Nick!

Those Roboidz are now dangerously close

so make sure your next move is the right one.

The lights are blue, recruits.

That means next the Roboidz will step forwards.

Poppy, it's your move.

Right.

Rhiann, make a move.

Forward.

-Nick.

-Yeah.

-You've got to take a step.

Left.

Remember, one of you will be vaporised. Make sure it isn't you!

The lights are purple.

So the Roboidz will step left next.

Forward.

Left.

Nick, remember, you cannot retrace your steps.

It looks like you're trapped.

Nick, I'm afraid you have to take a step.

Forwards.

Recruit, you've made a serious error and will now be vaporised.

Congratulations, Poppy and Rhiann. You will join me in Phase III

of Mission: 2110.

And then there were three.

Have I chosen the bravest, the toughest, the smartest

-to take with me to the next phase?

-Yes!

We are sorry to see Nick leave us.

He was an excellent recruit. He was cool under pressure.

But wherever he is, he's safe from the Roboidz.

At least, I hope so. Who knows where the Vaporiser sent him?

The final mission is nearly upon us.

We have to face this evil force.

Hurry up. There's no time to waste!

Hurry, Caleb, hurry!

Right into the path of my Roboidz!

I am the mighty Neuros.

And you and your little recruits are no match for me!

Go on, Caleb, go crying back to Mummy, like you always do!

Like you always do!

You'll never win!
