Episode 7 Mission: 2110

Previously on Mission: 2110 -

Future Gate is overrun by Roboidz.

I need help to destroy them.

So far, I've summoned eight young Recruits

and tested them with missions of stealth, dexterity,

logic and bravery.

Sadly, six of them fell victim to the dreaded Vaporiser.

But two, Millie and Callum, have proved themselves

worthy of a place in my elite team. I now need two others to join them.

Together, we will shut down this evil for good.

They are strong. Almost unstoppable.

But we can do it. We can take back Earth if we work together.

This is Mission: 2110.

Time is running out.

For Earth, for humanity, for me.

Maybe even for the universe itself.

Who knows what will stop the Roboidz if we don't.

They are strong, intelligent, deadly.

And there are thousands of them. This is their only weak point.

A bio-rod. The source of their energy. Get our hands on enough

of these and the can heads have got a serious problem.

This is Mission: 2110.

Let battle commence.

Well, I'm getting kind of used to this now. Check me out.

And my skills to pay the portal bills.

Hello, gang. I hope you've enjoyed travelling

through the last 100 years.

Are you the best Recruits in the world?

-Yes!

-Are you brave and fearless?

-Yes!

-Are you going to cook me spaghetti hoops on toast?

-Yes!

-Really? Brilliant. But, apart from the hoops, there is one little

extra favour I need you to do me.

And that is helping me defeat over 100,000 Roboidz.

What's your strategy?

The Roboidz will soon be bowing down to my brains.

An impressive claim.

But these Roboidz are armed with rip claws, vector beams

and sensory technology.

What special features do you have?

-My beautiful face.

-Fair dos.

And you? What about you?

Are you as strong as a nine-foot tall Roboid?

Oh, yes. Any day.

Very confident lot. What's this?

What happened to your hair in the time portal?

Nothing. I left my style at home.

-What's your excuse?

-Cheeky devil.

I shall be setting plenty of missions to test you Recruits.

Only the strongest will survive.

To earn your recruit wings,

you must grab as many of these bad boys as you possibly can

by defeating the Future Gate forces, by beating the Roboidz

and the Shades. Who likes the smell of rotten eggs?

RECRUITS GROAN

Well, I'm afraid the Shades smell plenty worse than that.

This way!

Follow me, Recruits. OK, my friends.

Your part in the Resistance starts with a logic mission.

First, a test to discover what kind of brains you guys are packing.

-Juliet, what's two plus two?

-Four.

Brilliant. You'll do fine.

As Brains here has no doubt already deduced, this mission

is to do with those steel cages on the upper level.

But you're also going to be facing the Shades. Not overly friendly,

certainly overly smelly. You must never touch them.

If you do, you're out of the mission for good.

The Shades have been instructed to safeguard some bio-rods

up here by locking them 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 bio-rod.

I've got to warn you, Recruits.

As your time runs out, more Shades will approach.

When that happens, get out fast.

You can always panic button your way out of a mission if you get trapped.

But if that happens, you will lose all your bio-rods.

Two this way, two that way. Go for it!

Mission on.

Time is not on your side. Those Shades are fast approaching.

Remember, you have to pick up those metal rods.

Use the magnets on the end to retrieve those keys.

Three keys, three padlocks.

And the Shades are always approaching,

so you've got to move swiftly.

Well done, Juliet and Isaac. You've managed to hook your first keys.

Now get unlocking those padlocks.

First padlock undone, Isaac.

Great work, Juliet. Same for you.

That's it, Theo, you've got your first blue key.

Now, quickly. Unlock that padlock.

Recruits, this is a timed mission.

You have to unlock those bio-rods before the Shades close in.

How stinky are those Shades, Theo?

-They stink!

-Come on, Georgia.

You need to concentrate on getting that first red key.

I've got the second key.

Excellent, Recruits. You're doing really well.

Unlock your second padlocks to get into your cages and reach

your third key. But you've got to watch out for the Shades.

They're getting closer and closer.

Great work, Isaac. Second padlock undone.

Juliet, that's your second, too.

How are you doing, Isaac?

-Got the door open.

-Great. You've got to move in.

Theo, that's your second padlock. Well done.

Release that tool and use it to unlock the bio-rod.

Georgia, you're finally unlocking your first padlock,

but you've got to get a move on. Those Shades aren't far behind.

-I've got the third key, guys.

-Brilliant, Juliet!

Now unlock that last padlock and grab the spanner.

Let's get that bio-rod secured.

Theo, final key. Now get your spanner.

Georgia, looks like you're struggling. Get a move on.

Isaac, you've unlocked your final padlock.

Now get your spanner and get undoing those bolts.

Theo and Juliet, you're going to have to undo those bolts quicker.

Those Shades are fast approaching.

Georgia, at last you've unlocked your second padlock.

Now, get in the cage. You may have left it too late.

Those Shades are almost on top of you.

Only 30 seconds to go. You have to get a move on!

Remember your panic buttons. But use them and lose them.

This place is about to get very stinky indeed.

More Shades are approaching.

Ten seconds to go. Juliet. That's you out of the mission.

You're going to have to get out soon.

Isaac, get out. That Shade is directly behind you.

Sadly no bio-rods. Bad luck, Recruits.

This was a really, really tough mission

and there were bits that I found very tricky, but I think now

I know what the mission will be like, and I've smelt the Shades,

I think I'll find it a bit easier in the future.

I did well in Chain Break, however, I would have done better

if I'd used the right end of the rod from the start.

The Shades were terrifying. They smelt horrible.

They looked like my head teacher back in Nottingham.

I'm annoyed I didn't get any bio-rods, but first mission,

there's plenty more to get, I'm sure I'll get at least one.

DRUMMING

Tell you what. If nothing else,

these Roboid claws make wicked drumsticks!

Actually, I'd better not be too loud. I don't want the Roboidz

getting wind of where I'm hiding. I know they can't fit in

through the door, but they could seriously ruin my fun.

I mean, they could seriously destroy my Resistance HQ.

These Recruits haven't started off well.

No bio-rods at all in Chain Break.

Though I'm confident that maybe one of them will be strong enough

to join Millie and Callum in my elite team and rid the world

of these rust buckets for good.

As well as making great drumsticks,

these are very handy around the house.

OK, Recruits. For your next mission,

I'm looking for bravery. I need true courage.

I'm looking for Recruits who won't even flinch

in the face of fear. Boo! Let that be a warning.

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

As you're going to be coming up close and personal with a Worker.

These heavy metal brutes are equipped with pincer claws so strong

they could crush a car crusher into the same size as a car

that had been crushed by a car crusher.

So don't get too close.

Your mission is to meet one and unfix it.

You'll find three pressure switches on its body.

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

Depress all three without the alarm sounding

and you'll gain yourself a trio of bio-rods.

If you're the sort of person who can thread a needle, then maybe

you'll find this an easy gig. OK, Georgia. Let's see those hands.

See if their steady.

Not bad. But look at that. Solid as a rock.

I've never tried it with this hand, but I'm sure I'd be excellent.

Georgia, go for it. Good luck.

'Mission on.'

If you make connection with any of those rings,

the alarm will sound and the Worker will get you.

Three bio-rods to be gained here.

Take a deep breath.

Let's get cracking on that first one.

Be careful, Georgia. One false move and you'll reactivate that Worker.

Hold your nerve, Recruit. You're doing well.

You're almost there, Georgia. Slowly does it.

Georgia, drop it. Get out of there. So near, yet so far. Run!

I'm a bit disappointed and angry with myself that I still

haven't got any bio-rods. But in the next missions,

I'm really, really going to put 100% effort into trying to get a bio-rod.

-Because I'm not out of the game yet.

-'Mission on.'

That's it. Take that metallic rod and very slowly and carefully

work on getting you your first bio-rod.

Remember, there are three up for grabs. Take it easy.

Although this drone class Roboid is at the moment inactive,

just one false move and it'll power up.

Careful, Juliet. Keep that bar straight. You're so close.

You're almost at that pressure pad.

Make contact and the bio-rod is yours.

Congratulations, Juliet. That's one bio-rod in the bank.

Things get harder now

as the security rings get much narrower.

Breathe slowly, Recruit. And no sudden movements.

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

so make sure you avoid contact at all costs.

Excellent work, Juliet. That's two bio-rods.

Can you make it a third?

Juliet, you're on the final rings. Hold your nerve.

That third bio-rod is in sight.

Grab those two. Get out of there, Juliet.

The Roboid in the middle, even though he was being fixed,

he still had something in his eyes and it was very, very scary.

'Mission on.'

OK, Isaac. Take your time.

There are three bio-rods up for grabs, so be careful.

Hold that bar nice and steady.

It just takes one touch to sound the alarms.

Great stuff, Isaac. That bio-rod is yours.

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

Breathe slowly, Recruit.

And no sudden movements.

This will take all of your powers of concentration,

so take your time, Isaac.

You're nearly there.

Just keep your cool.

Congratulations, Isaac. That's two. Grab that second one from its claw.

The rings are much narrower.

Can you get that final bio-rod?

Take your time. No hasty moves.

Grab those two. Get out quickly.

I think my main competition is Theo,

because he's really, really good, although he doesn't

seem that it first, I can see it in his eyes

he's the one I should look out for. I should be watching my back.

Mission on!

OK, Theo. There are three bio-rods up for grabs.

If you get them all, this is your chance to steal the lead.

Nice and steady, Theo. One wrong move and it'll be mission over.

You need to have a steady hand for this mission. Take your time.

Hold your nerve, Recruit. You're doing well.

Good work, Theo. That first bio-rod is yours.

Take it from his claw.

Theo, those rings are getting narrower. Be careful

not to reactivate that worker. Keep calm.

You've sounded the alarms! Get out!

Mission over!

It was amazing meeting the worker Roboid,

because it had the big pincers and it was just scary.

And the big flashing glowing eyes.

To the Shades and the Roboidz, back off, cos I'm coming.

Attention, please. This is a Future Gate security announcement.

This is a Future Gate security announcement.

Would all battle, commander and drone class Roboidz

kindly report to upper deck,

where the plank at the rear end of the ship is waiting

for you to take a walk off it! It might work.

It's pretty hard to stay positive. There are still thousands

of Roboidz left for me and the Recruits to defeat.

I've got faith in them. The best bit is

they don't smell as bad as those Shades.

So, onward and upward. Or rather downward.

To the engine room.

OK, Recruits. Your part in the Resistance continues here

with a dexterity mission. We need to keep a very low profile

as we've snuck into the very centre of the Future Gate fuel store.

Down there, you'll see a big ugly worker.

These brutes are also known as drone-class Roboidz.

They're incredibly strong, but not very bright.

Imagine the power of a weight-lifter with all the brains of a dumb-bell.

You will work in pairs.

Look at this control panel. More importantly, this over-ride key.

As soon as I slot it in place, then bang!

That Roboid's off on a mental safari while we take control of its body.

One control each. This is left and right. This is back and forward.

A button for punch and one for kick.

You mission is to guide the worker

around the fuel store, demolishing everything in its way.

Use its pincer claw to smash that fuse box and it'll power down.

You'll be able to run in and grab two bio-rods.

Isaac, Georgia, you're up first. Good luck. And get wrecking!

-Mission on.

-Forward! Forward!

You've got to control this Roboid all the way to destroying

-as much stuff as we can. Start with these toxic barrels.

-Forward!

-Right!

-You'll need to be more specific than that.

-Punch!

-Excellent work.

-Back!

-Let's move on to this radioactive canisters.

-Forward! Forward!

-Left!

-Forward! Forward!

Forward! Forward!

One minute left. Remember, you can only use one control at a time.

-Kick, kick, kick!

-Back!

-Make light work of the toxic barrels, Recruits.

-But time is always running out. So move that Roboid quickly.

-Right!

-Kick!

-Just 30 seconds left.

-Forward!

-You'll need to be a little bit closer

if you want to take out those nitro-pipes.

Back! Back!

Recruits, you have to try and steer that worker free. Quickly!

-Left! Left.

-Left!

-15 seconds left, two piles left!

-Forward!

-Left!

-Forward!

Forward! Forward! Left! Forward!

Forward! Forward! Forward!

-Forward!

-Punch!

Five seconds left. I don't think you're going to make it, Recruits.

Time up, Recruits. I'm sorry, but it was incredibly close.

You failed this mission.

I didn't think we got the bio-rod cos we weren't communicating.

Just kept on talking

-over each other.

-I don't agree with that, because

even though we were talking over each other a little bit,

I think we were patient with each other and it's just down to luck.

-Mission on.

-Juliet and Theo, let's break-up this supply store.

Five obstacles stand in your way of those two bio-rods.

-First, let's bash up those toxic barrels.

-Forward! Forward! Punch!

-Excellent work, Recruits.

-Left! Left!

-Left!

-Forward! Forward! Forward!

-Forward!

-This is a timed mission, Recruits.

-Forward! Forward!

-And you have one minute left.

-Forward!

-Kick!

-Left!

-Back!

-Now let's see about those nitro-pipes.

-Forward! Forward!

Quicken up your act, Recruits. Time's running out.

-Forward!

-Just 30 seconds left.

Don't forget, Isaac and Georgia failed in this mission,

so this is your chance, Juliet, to get ahead.

Back! Left! Left!

20 seconds. Get a move on.

This is a far cry from a remote-controlled toy, Recruits.

-Left! Left!

-Forward! Forward!

You can do it. 10 seconds.

Forward! Forward!

-Five!

-Forward! Forward!

-Come on. You're so close.

Congratulations, Recruits. You've got there just in time.

Run down and collect those bio-rods. Excellent work, Theo and Juliet.

Get your hands on those bio-rods. You've earned them. Congratulations.

Completely in control of a massive robot. We're only tiny.

-Now they know what it's like to be scared of us.

-They should watch out,

because the Recruits are coming.

-Cybele.

-Caleb. How are the Recruits coming along?

-Good. They're good.

-Good enough?

-Don't worry.

-The can-heads are going down this time, and staying down.

-I hope so.

The time will soon be here. No more training challenges.

You can do it, Caleb. I know. You make me very proud.

I hope my dad would be, too.

I'm sure he would. Your father was a wonderful man.

If it wasn't for Simion, there wouldn't be any Recruits.

You mean, he built the time machine?

Temporal physics were his life's work.

Even when people said he was mad. And that was an awful lot of people.

What happened to him? Did the Roboidz kill him?

He vanished from V-Lab.

The temporal physics lab? His lab? You mean he...

No-one knows. But the lab was locked from the inside.

There was no-one else there and there was only one other way out.

-The time machine!

-That's when the lab was closed down.

But I will sit there every day for the rest of my life,

waiting for him. I still am.

OK, Recruits. We're here in the Future Gate recharging facility,

where you'll have an electrifying experience, as this mission is

going to see you come face-to-face with the fiercest of all Roboidz -

the Wardroid!

These battle-class beasts evolved beyond their initial purpose,

defending humans, to become an engine

of human destruction. The aim is to get down and overload that Wardroid,

destroying it before it finishes recharging and destroys us.

By connecting these cables in the correct sequence,

you'll be able to send a surge of electricity into it

that'll light it up like a Christmas tree and make it drop its needles.

If you manage that, you'll certainly have earned your bio-rods.

One each to the successful pair of Recruits. Georgia,

you've yet to collect any bio-rods. How will you improve your tally?

Keep my head in the mission and put 100% effort into everything I do.

Glad to hear it. OK, Recruits. Get in there and bring me its bolts.

Mission on!

Theo and Georgia are connecting yellow cables. Juliet and Isaac,

you're connecting blue. Connect them in the right order so that we can

send a surge of power through this charging machine

and toast that metal head.

-Three, got two threes!

-There are five connections

-to make. And only one combination will work.

-You do that side.

Quick, quick, quick.

Get a move on. That Wardroid is charging up the whole time.

Good work, Theo and Georgia.

One yellow cable down. Four to go.

Isaac and Juliet, that's your first blue connection made, too.

This battle-class Wardroid is one of the

most dangerous varieties in Future Gate.

So let's bust its circuits to help the Resistance.

Time is ticking away, Recruits. That Wardroid is

gradually powering up. Do you want to be here when he's recharged?

I certainly don't.

Well done, yellow Recruits. That's another cable in position.

Isaac, Juliet, stay in close communication.

Three and five. That's a five!

-That's a five. This one here. Yes!

-There are three options for

-each section of the charging machine.

-I think this one's wrong.

Blue Recruits, looks like you're very close

to completing that circuit.

You have to work at speed!

You don't want that Wardroid powering up and attacking you.

Next one! Which one?

Three more connections to go

for Theo and Georgia and those bio-rods will be theirs.

-Can Juliet and Isaac stop them?

-Come on!

OK...

No, wrong side, wrong side. No, the wrong one.

This one, sorry.

That's it. Work as a team, Recruits.

It's the only way to defeat this Roboid.

Come on, Issac, we can do this.

Yes! Sorted. OK!

Three...three!

It's not fitting!

It's going to be a close race to those levers!

Only a complete connection will allow that surge of electricity

to get this Wardroid nice and toasty.

-They're done. Go, go, go.

-Brilliant. You've done it.

-Pull the lever!

Let's zap a bajillion volts into this battle-class bully!

Get in there. Get those bio-rods, guys. That's it.

-One each. Congratulations.

-Yes!

-Juliet, Isaac, how do you feel?

Amazing. ..Well done. High five.

The Wardroid was so scary. It was even scarier than the worker Roboid.

It was massive! I'm so annoyed I didn't get to blow it up.

Overload went like a dream.

-It was really good.

-Once we got into it,

we were just like a well-oiled machine.

Attention, please. This is a Future Gate travel announcement.

To all customers awaiting the arrival of the delayed

2.15 Wardroid from cargo five,

I'm afraid this service has been entirely terminated

due to banana peel on the stairs. Ha! Unlucky!

Furthermore, anyone wishing to upgrade

from drone-class to battle-class will no longer be able to,

due to recent destruction of both by the Resistance.

Finally, will the Shade who left

the mouldy sock on platform 4 claim it from lost property?

It's dangling out the window on a bit of string. Many thanks!

That is all. Well, gang.

A successful day Boid-busting.

But I'm afraid from hereon in, it's going to get scarier and harder.

One of you will leave for good.

Whoever that is will be determined by the toughest test of all.

A test that's so scary, it makes my hairs stand on end.

Even the wire hairs on my bionic arm. A test called 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.

Perhaps even your very existence.

That's what's in store for my Recruits in phase two.

49 triangular steps of terror. Three massive Roboidz.

And a one-way ticket home for one of them.

That's if they get sent home.

The Vaporiser.

It sends shivers through me.

Two of my elite team are already in place. Millie and Callum.

So we shall see what happens next time on Mission:2110.

Caleb, we will see if next time

you get any further with your futile efforts.

You think your band of puny Recruits can defeat me.

Rid Future Gate of the Roboidz.

You should know by now, little hero, resistance is futile.

You'll never defeat me, Caleb. Never!
