Episode 4 Mission: 2110

Previously on Mission 2110 -

Future Gate is overrun by Roboidz, and I need help to destroy them.

So far, I've summoned four young recruits and tested them

with missions of stealth, dexterity, logic and bravery.

Sadly, three of them fell victim to the dreaded Vaporiser,

but one recruit, Millie, proved herself worthy of a place

in my elite team. I now need three others to join her.

Together, we will shut down this evil for good.

They're strong, almost unstoppable, but we can do it.

We can take back Earth if we work together!

We don't have long. They're all over the place here,

the Roboidz, the machines we built to serve us

that turned against us and all but destroyed our world.

The Roboidz still infest Future Gate,

the research facility that created them and which is now their base.

That's the perfect place to strike at them, to fight back

and take Earth back. To do that, we need to get these - bio-rods.

Get enough of them,

and the can-heads have got a serious problem.

But I need help from another time - your time.

So who's got the courage to face the Roboidz?

To face Mission 2110?

One group down, three to go.

Number two coming right up!

Welcome to the future.

I'll cut to the chase. We're on a big boat called Future Gate.

There's a million robots. We have to do something about it.

Are you all ready?

Yes!

I need to know how ready,

how prepared, just how tactical you can be,

so I want a name and an answer from everyone.

Fern. I'm determined. I'll always try my best.

I like your confidence. Keep that positivity up.

Kieran. I'll use the Roboidz' intelligence against them.

Ah! The brains of the bunch! We could do with that.

Lois. I'm clever and cunning and I'll outwit the Roboidz.

Good idea - outfox your opponent. I like it.

Callum. I'll use my concentration and speed to get past them.

We'll certainly need stealth to defeat the enemy.

You're going to have to prove yourselves

with the missions I've set to test you.

It's all about grabbing these - bio-rods.

The more we take, the more we weaken the Roboidz.

-Are you guys up for taking down the bad guys?

-Yes!

Resistance spirit! I like it. You'll going to have to keep that up,

because I'm afraid I can only take one of you with me to join

my elite team for the final battle.

You're going to have to prove your skills. Like it?

Well, I'm going to teach you all sorts of stuff. Not the hat thing,

but plenty of things to defeat the Roboidz.

Your first mission - you're about to encounter

some horrible, smelly Shades, so hold your nose like so

and follow me.

OK, recruits, follow me.

Your part in the resistance starts here with a logic mission,

so first, a little test to see what brains your carrying.

Lois, come here. Hmmm.

It's not looking good.

You've probably already deduced this mission has something to do with

those steel cages on the upper level. You'll also be facing

the Shades who are working for the Roboidz in this area.

They're scary-looking. They're not overly friendly.

They're certainly overly smelly, and you must not touch them.

If that happens, you're automatically out of the mission.

The Shades have been instructed to safeguard some bio-rods

by locking them securely in these cages.

Three padlocks and a big pile of chains are in your way.

The third padlock is inside the cage. Unlock this one

to release a spanner that will help you free that precious bio-rod.

As your time begins to run out, more Shades will start approaching.

When that happens, get out fast.

If you get trapped, remember you can panic-button your way out,

but if you do that, you'll lose all your bio-rods.

Two up this way, two up that way. Get cracking!

'Mission on.'

Remember, three padlocks will release your bio-rod.

Use the tools provided to snatch those keys

from the other side of the cage.

I've got my first key!

I've got my first key too!

Keep communicating.

I can't get it!

I want all four of you to come back with your very first bio-rod.

Come on, Lois, let's get that first lock undone.

You too, Callum!

Good work, Callum and Lois, but keep an eye out

for those smelly Shades.

RASPS MENACINGLY

Kieran and Fern, that's your first padlocks unlocked. Well done.

I've got the second!

-I've got the second!

-I've got the second!

-Hold your noses!

How does that Shade smell, Kieran?

Uh, he stinks!

You have to work quickly if you're to succeed in your first mission.

Guys, I've got the second key!

Come on, Kieran and Fern, you're lagging behind.

Lois and Callum are inside the cages, after that final key.

Ah! It's going to get me!

You've got to get a move on, recruits. Those Shades

are getting closer and closer!

Kieran, that's your second padlock.

Fern, well done, that's you into the cage as well.

OK, now, use these tools quickly, recruits.

I'm onto my final key! I'm about to unlock the spanner.

There are definitely more Shades in the area. They can

probably sense your presence.

Use the spanner to loosen the bolts,

but hurry up - those Shades are almost on top of you!

-The Shades are coming!

-Are they?

Yeah, they're behind you.

MENACING RASPING

If you can smell their stench, it means they're way too close.

-Good work, Kieran!

-Yes!

Mission accomplished.

Callum, brilliant stuff! Grab that bio-rod.

The rest of you, hurry up!

Hold your nerves. You just have to undo those bolts.

I can't get it!

Come on, Lois, you can do it!

Oh, it came out! Yes!

-Fern, get out of there.

-I can't get it!

Lois, you're on your own, but don't panic.

-I can't get it.

-You've got ten seconds.

Come on, you can do this! Quick!

Come on!

-Come on, Lois.

-Have you got it?

-Yes, I've got it!

The Shades, they were quite smelly

and they were a bit scary when they were coming

to you with beaming red eyes.

It was the first mission. I managed to get my bio-rod,

so I'm really pleased with myself.

Lois just got out, which is good.

We got off to a really strong start,

got all our first bio-rods.

This is my first mission. I really enjoyed it.

Bring on the Roboidz!

I spy with my little eye something beginning with...

Let me see, what letter shall I choose?

How about R? Roboidz!

No... Robots?

Still no.

R...r...r... Rusty 9ft heaps of junk!

Ha! Bingo!

Well, we are going to take down those kettle-heads

and finish them off once and for all.

I am Caleb

and no-one gets one over on me.

Ha! No, I am SO the hero.

OK, recruits, in this next mission, I'm looking for courage.

I need true bravery. I need recruits who can face fear

-without flinching. Boo!

-Agh!

Let that be a warning to you.

I need recruits who are steady of heart and of hand.

You're about to get up-close and personal

with a Worker, otherwise known as Drone-Class Roboidz,

these metal brutes are equipped with pincer claws

that could mangle a...a mangle.

Yes, an old domestic method of drying clothes...

It doesn't matter, just stay away from them, that's all.

Your mission is to meet one and unfix it.

You'll find three pressure switches on its body.

Two on the arms, one on the centre of the chest.

If you can depress all three of them without sounding the alarm,

you can grab yourselves a trio of bio-rods.

If you're any good at threading a needle,

you'll find this mission a breeze.

OK, Kieran, you're up first, let's see your hands out straight.

Let's make sure they're steady.

Not bad at all, but look at that. Steady as a rock.

I mean, this one's terrible, but I am brilliant at castanet.

Go for it, Kieran, good luck.

Good luck, Kieran!

'Mission on.'

Kieran, take this nice and steady.

This is your chance for three bio-rods, so take a deep breath.

Looking good, Kieran. Hold your nerve and keep that bar steady.

ROBOT BUZZES

Excellent, great work, Kieran.

Grab that bio-rod from his claw.

OK, how are you feeling?

I'm all right.

Things get harder now as the security rings get much narrower.

If that alarm sounds, be prepared to get out fast.

Those rings are wired up to the Worker's electronics,

so make certain you avoid contact at all costs.

ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

OK, get out of there.

Grab your bio-rod and get out of the room, quick.

Watch out for those claws.

My tactics for future missions is to focus more

and not get too over-confident if I get a bio-rod,

because I think that's what let me down in this mission.

'Mission on.'

You need to have a steady hand for this mission.

Take your time.

Take a deep breath, Fern, take this nice and steady.

Three bio-rods to get here.

Careful, that's looking a bit shaky, Fern.

ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

OK, get out of there, Fern!

Drop the rod, get out of the room quick.

Recruits, we must do better.

We saw the robots for the first time today, it was pretty scary.

I think that's why I kind of didn't do very well.

I think I got quite distracted by them.

They're really big, and they've got giant claws. It was pretty scary.

'Mission on.'

Remember, Callum, take it really slowly.

You have no time limit on this mission.

I want you to bring me at least two of those bio-rods, so stay calm.

Callum, remember, there's no rush,

but this will take all of your powers of concentration.

ROBOT BUZZES

Good work, Callum, your first bio-rod in the bag.

For your next one, Callum, settle.

Those next rings get a lot narrower. Take a deep breath.

Nice and steady.

You can't afford to re-activate this drone-class robot.

ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

OK, get out of there, Callum, grab that bio-rod, leave the room, quick.

I got on really well in Live Wire,

because I got one bio-rod, and it was really difficult,

because the holes got smaller and it was really hard to concentrate.

And you had a Roboid there looking at you every time you move.

'Mission on.'

OK, Lois, finally your turn. Let's go.

Remember to take this really slowly, Lois.

There's three bio-rods at stake here.

As yet, no-one has brought me back all three.

You're so close, Lois. Steady with that rod.

ELECTRICITY BUZZES

The alarm's sounded. Get out of there, quickly.

Unfortunately, Recruits, that is a low bio-rod haul.

Hopefully we can do better in the next mission.

I was quite nervous because of the big, huge ginormous robot

in front of me.

And that it was about to spring into life, I was a bit worried.

Why on earth would the recruits call these things "scrapbooks"?

I mean, scrap to me is what I want those Kettleheads to become.

Yeah, big piles of scrap.

Anyway, they've told me it's important to keep a record,

so I've assembled all the photos I can find.

I even think I've got a hunch who this smiley chap might be.

It seems like such a long time ago.

75 years, to be precise. I still can't quite get my head round it.

Still, maybe one day there will be a happy ending for this book.

When Neuros and the Roboidz are finally defeated.

Maybe I'll even write my own book one day.

Hero Caleb and the Order of the Roboidz.

That's got a nice ring to it.

OK, Recruits. Your part in the Resistance continues here

with the Dexterity mission.

We need to keep a very low profile, as we've snuck into the heart of

Future Gate's fuel store.

If you take a peek down there, you'll see a Worker,

otherwise known as Drone Class Roboidz.

These guys were designed for heavy duty manual labour.

They're incredibly tough.

They've got thick muscles and even thicker armour.

When it comes to brain power, they're really...not clever at all.

In this mission, you're going to be working in pairs once more.

Take a look at this control panel, and more importantly,

this override key.

All I have to do is slot it in there, and pow!

That roboid is off on a mental safari,

while we have control of its body.

Your mission, Recruits, is to guide the Worker around the fuel store,

demolishing everything in its path.

When you get it to the fuse box, use its pincer claws to smash it open.

You'll power it down and you can run in and grab two bio-rods.

Kieran, Lois, you're up first. Good luck.

Get wrecking!

'Mission on.'

Forward!

Forward, forward.

Remember, Recruits, you've got to destroy

as much of this stuff as possible.

Right!

This is no time to muddle up your left and rights, Recruits.

Forward!

Let's see if we can take out these toxic barrels.

Forward.

Punch!

You need to get a lot nearer than that, recruits.

This is a timed mission,

so move that worker quickly through the fuel store.

Forward!

Punch!

Great stuff, let's move onto the radioactive containers.

Left.

Forward.

The worker is totally under your guidance, so make sure

you're handy with those controls.

Forward, forward.

That's it, let's take out those barrels.

Kick!

Backwards, backwards.

Back!

30 seconds, Recruits, you can still do it.

Move that Roboid faster.

Over to the nitropipes.

Forward, forward!

Punch!

Ten seconds to go, Recruits, you can do it.

Recruits, you've got to be quick.

Forward.

Time's up, Recruits.

I'm afraid you failed the mission. No bio-rods for you.

It's fun because you get to control one of these really big robots.

We just lost focus a little bit,

and we were giving destructions out too slowly.

'Mission on.'

OK, Callum and Fern, you need to destroy as many of the fuel supplies

as you can, and get to that fusebox.

Forward, forward.

Punch.

You've got to work quickly.

Left...right.

No, left.

Forward.

That's taken care of the toxic barrels,

let's move onto the radioactive canisters.

Forward, forward!

Forward.

You've got to get a move on, Recruits.

Forward!

Forward. Hit!

Left.

Take that Roboid over to the nitropipes.

This may not be your regular remote control robot,

but let's try and steer this nine-foot tinhead

to its own destruction.

Right!

Punch, punch!

Will it take these nitropipes out?

Punch!

30 seconds left, recruits.

-Left!

-Move that Roboid faster if you want to grab those bio-rods.

Go! Forward, forward!

-Forward!

-20 seconds.

-Forward!

-Forward!

-Turn!

Forward, forward! Forward!

-Forward!

-Run!

-Congratulations, recruits.

-Yes!

-You should scream, Fern.

You and Callum powered down that Roboid.

Congratulations, Fern, Callum. Grab those bio-rods.

You've done extremely well, you worked very well as a team.

-How are you feeling?

-Feeling great.

I think our mission went really well. We got it.

We completed it. The Roboid was a little hard to control,

she didn't move as quickly as we wanted it to.

I really enjoyed controlling the Roboidz.

Because, well, you wouldn't normally be controlling one!

It was quite fun cos it felt like I was the actual Roboid.

-So this is me - the kid in the picture?

-Yes.

Your fifth birthday. You were a beautiful child, Caleb.

I don't understand.

How can you be my mother?

My name was Laura. Laura Gant.

It's been so long since I had that name...

I created Future Gate.

But that means...

That's right, Caleb.

I created the Roboidz.

All of this?! This is your fault?!

-In a way, yes.

-Machines that could think for themselves!

-Who would ever think that was a good idea?

-I built them to help humanity.

There were safeguards - behaviour inhibitors to stop them hurting us.

Yeah, good job, Mum(!)

Most Roboidz were built out on the mining planets,

shipped out in kits and built by other Roboidz.

But one was missing an inhibitor.

Let me guess, humans tried to turn it off and it didn't like that.

That's when the nightmare started -

-Gamas FI4.

-Thanks, Mum(!)

Thanks a bunch(!)

Caleb. Caleb!

SOBS: Caleb...

OK, recruits, here we are at the Future Gate recharging facility.

You're about to have an electrifying experience.

You'll work in pairs on this mission and come face-to-face with

the fiercest of all Roboidz -

the Wardroid.

These battle class beasts have evolved beyond their initial purpose

of defending humans to become engines of human destruction.

The aim of the mission is for you to get down there and overload it,

destroying it before it finishes recharging and destroys us.

By connecting the cables in the correct sequence,

you'll create a surge of electricity that will cook its goose

and roast its potatoes.

If you get that far, you'll have earned your bio-rods.

One each for the successful recruit.

Lois, Fern, you're trailing behind now, how will you defeat the boys?

-We're going to try hard.

-And use concentration.

-And especially team work.

-We're not going to tell them any more.

-OK!

Interesting tactics. Let's see if they work out. You two, you two,

get stuck in. Bring me his bolts.

'Mission on!'

Time to get overloading.

Let's send this Wardroid to junk metal heaven.

Callum and Kieran, you're creating a circuit with the blue cables.

Lois and Fern, you're aiming to connect the yellow cables.

Yeah, this one's it!

Connect the cables in the right order so we can send a surge of

power through this charging machine and toast that metal head.

Every cable must be correctly connected.

There are five connections to make.

Only one combination will work.

Have Fern and Lois got the right one?

Is that the right connection?

Is that right? Push it in?

Yes, this has to be the right one. Push it in.

It isn't going in.

The battle class Wardroid is one of the most dangerous in Future Gate.

-Push that one...

-Yeah.

That Wardroid is charging up. We have to overload its circuits

before it gets a chance to activate.

That is the right one.

It's in, go!

-This is the right one.

-Are you sure?

Talk clearly to each other, recruits, you have to move fast!

That's it! Go, go, go!

-That was the right one.

-Where was it?

-Right, it's in.

-Let's go.

Lois and Fern have got one.

Three... Three and a five.

You have to work at speed. We don't want that Wardroid powering up

and attacking you.

Lois and Fern, you still have four connections to make.

Callum and Kieran, you only have three cables left to connect.

THEY SHOUT

Two bio-rods up for grabs for the first team to pull that lever.

-Fern, this isn't it.

-It is!

-I looked at it.

-Right, it's in.

Recruits, you can't force the connections.

They have to be the right ones to work properly.

It's in, go!

-Two, three.

-Kieran onto their fourth, you're doing well, guys.

-Here's two, three.

-Ah!

-On?

-Hang on, hang on...

Lois and Fern still having difficulties.

-No, no, look here.

-It's just the one.

-This one.

-Got it.

Hang on, this - this!

The Wardroid is almost powered up, get to it!

Complete this mission, fast!

This one, yes, it's in!

OK, are the girls catching up?

BOYS: Yes, it's in! Go.

Callum and Kieran are on their last connection.

-Is it a big three?

-Lois and Fern, you have to move fast.

Go to the next one.

It's in, go! Run!

Kieran, Callum, throw that switch!

POWER SURGES AND CRASHES

Get in there, guys, grab those bio-rods.

Congratulations, you made short work of that Wardroid.

Good team work, well done. How do you feel?

-I feel great.

-Great.

I was really pleased we beat the girls cos it was boys V girls.

I think we work well as a team cos

we were helping each other if one of us got stuck.

Quite nice, losing with a friend, not by yourself!

We were originally thinking of going on our own but I'm glad we didn't.

It wouldn't have worked out as well.

We were really happy with what we did and how far we got,

even though the boys won.

Go, boys!

Bing-bong! Good morning, shoppers, and welcome to Roboidzon's.

Today in aisle two, we have special offers on rust accelerant spray,

just perfecting for rusting your Roboid to perfection.

In fresh produce we have half-price chickens - robot chickens. Squaaawk!

HE CLUCKS

What?! You can't get the staff nowadays.

The same cannot be said of you, recruits. You've done extremely well

in your first missions. Particularly you, Callum.

You are ruling the roost with four bio-rods, congratulations.

But things are about to get nasty.

Phase two is coming up and the name is appropriate because we'll be

'phasing' one of you guys out of Mission 2110.

You recruits need to prepare

yourselves for the toughest challenge Future Gate has to offer.

The Vaporiser!

The Roboidz must be destroyed.

They are the enemy and they'll stop at nothing to harm you.

If you're brave enough to face the Vaporiser, you will face danger.

But you will have the chance of victory. One false move,

one wrong step will end your mission

and perhaps even your very existence!

That's what's in store for my recruits in the next phase of their

mission. Rather them than me.

My resistance grows stronger with each passing day.

I already have one elite recruit, Millie,

to join me for the final battle.

There we will take down Neuros and her band of not-very-merry Roboidz

once and for all. I can't wait for that day!

'Neither can I, Caleb.

'Because on that day, I will finally destroy you!

'More fool you, Caleb, to think that second time round you can defeat me.

'Think again, Caleb.

'Think again, pretty boy!

'Think again, pretty boy!'
