Episode 8 Mission: 2110

Previously on Mission 2110:

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

They're strong, intelligent, deadly! Let battle commence!

Pull off those bio-rods before the Shades close in.

It's really hard to unscrew.

Only the strongest will survive!

I'm looking for Recruits who won't even flinch in the face of fear!

Hold your nerve, Recruit. You dropped it. Get out of there!

-Forward!

-Move that Roboid quickly!

-Get down there and overload that Wardroid!

-This is the one.

-You must complete the circuit.

-Go, go!

Let's toast this Wardroid!

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

We can take back Earth if we work together!

This is Mission 2110!

The mission is more than halfway through.

Brave young people from the past

have travelled time to 2110

to help me defeat the metal menace of the Roboidz,

sentient robots built by humanity to make the world a better place.

Yeah, nice idea, but they turned and smashed humanity

and this planet to pieces! Some of the Recruits

have already been lost, but ultimately one will be victorious!

He or she will reach the heart of the Roboid empire and strike at it

to save the future of humanity!

The question is - who will it be

and will they be in time? This is Mission 2110!

Well, it seems that somehow you crazy bunch have survived

to battle the Roboidz again another day.

Isaac, you did really well on Livewire.

I kept my head in the mission and made sure I didn't get distracted.

Good stuff.

Georgia, what went wrong with Chain Break?

Well, I started using the wrong things, lost me valuable time.

I saw that.

Juliet and Theo, sterling work in Crash test.

-How did that go?

-Theo and I work brilliantly as a team.

-So we got the bio-rods.

-You're even finishing each other's sentences!

Interesting! Well, Recruits, you are going to face all three varieties

of Roboidz in today's four missions. And as before

the only way to defend yourself

is by collecting as many bad boys as possible. Bio-rods!

Essential to keeping the Roboidz powered up.

Now, come along, gang, we've got plenty more robo butt to kick!

Actually, good point... their butts are about there,

so we could be in trouble unless any of you do gymnastics!

But first we've got to face some more stinky Shades.

You know the procedure!

SQUEAK!

This way!

OK, Recruits, you know the score.

The only way we can defeat the Roboidz is to take away their power.

And the only way to do that is to steal their bio-rods.

Fortunately, the upper engine room is riddled with them.

Unfortunately, it's also riddled with festering Shades.

Eurgh! You can smell them from here!

The empty-headed rancid servants of the Roboidz.

You must never touch one. If you do, you're instantly out of the mission.

The Shades are working on some sort of generator in this area.

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

-Yes!

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

-Yes!

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

They're hidden in security boxes around the room,

but keep your eyes peeled. Some of the boxes contain more than one,

others are empty.

And a word of warning - there's a Guard at this end of the room,

so you'll need to move quietly, stealthily around the generator

if you want to avoid detection.

And, finally, you must meet me on 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.

-Then, get stuck in! Go for it, Recruits!

Mission on!

Theo, brilliant stuff. First bio-rod for you.

But don't worry - there's 11 more to be found. So get to it, Recruits!

-I've got a bio-rod, yes.

-Georgia, excellent stuff. Well scavenged!

Try not to get trapped by those Shades! They're not only smelly,

but they're deadly too.

One bio-rod for you, Juliet, great work!

Working solo on this mission, so it's every Recruit for themselves!

Another one for you, Juliet,

but be careful not to get trapped by that Shade!

Remember those Guards can't see,

but they have the latest heat-sensing technology.

There are some serious numbers of bio-rods up for grabs

in this mission, Recruits!

Georgia, bio-rod number 2. Well done!

Come on, Isaac, no bio-rods yet. You're trailing behind

and you have to find a way to get past those Shades!

That's 30 seconds!

Unlucky, Georgia! No-one said this mission lacked frustration!

Some boxes are empty but there are more bio-rods to be found.

Well done, Isaac, your first bio-rod.

But time is running out! You need to look harder.

10 seconds, Recruits, you must be out of that area in time!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

And that's mission over!

Excellent stuff. You all made it out in one piece.

OK, guys, let's see how many bio-rods you got.

Gents, that's one each. Girls, two apiece.

Very well done! And, Georgia, that means you are off the mark!

Congratulations!

I'm absolutely delighted about winning two bio-rods.

I'm back in the game and it's going to keep getting better.

The Shades and the Roboidz are so freaky.

The Roboid is always, like, walking towards you. And the Shades

just freak me out. They're always inches off you.

I'm not too disappointed that Juliet's got more bio-rods than me.

I think I'll be able to catch up quite easily.

Getting two bio-rods was just amazing.

I was so excited. When you open one of the boxes

and there's a bio-rod, you just get such a great feeling.

And I'm really happy with two bio-rods, really, really happy.

Always a joy to see them grab more bio-rods. Well done, Recruits!

However, one of them will be leaving us shortly on the Vaporiser.

Before that the training must continue.

The Recruits are going to have to work hard in the missions.

They're going to have to display strength and dexterity.

Like me, their fearless leader,

they're going to have to be creative...

And, like me, they must be courageous and brave.

Ah! Ah...ah!

OK, stay close to me, Recruits, and everyone apart from Theo stay low!

We've relocated to Cargo Hold 1 of the Future Gate ships.

There are plenty more opportunities for stealing bio-rods.

This time you'll be dealing with the metal brutes of the Cycon empire,

the Workers. They've got about as much brains as a digital watch,

but you know they could squash us flat in seconds. Look up there -

one of the Workers is experimenting with dangerous chemicals.

It's trying to create an explosive to use against the Resistance.

They've got to be stopped and that's where you guys come in.

Contained in the drums on the upper level are toxic meta-molecules.

The Workers are using them to create a dangerous compound

called SGP60. It's so volatile it cause this entire place to blow.

You guys have got to work individually

to separate these catalysts from the other chemicals.

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

There's no way I should have been doing that!

Whoever manages to gather most catalysts will receive two bio-rods.

Second place gets one bio-rod, two of you get nothing at all.

Good luck, Recruits! Watch out for those Shades! Get cracking!

Mission on!

OK, Recruits, the Worker's dropping the first toxic meta-molecules.

OK, Recruits, get grabbing. Remember only one catalyst at a time!

They're too volatile. Well done, Georgia, nice shot.

We must avert the explosion

by removing as many catalysts from that mix as possible.

Be careful of those Shades mixing up the meta-molecules.

Touch them, you're out of the mission!

Good work, Theo!

The Worker's sending more meta-molecules!

Lucky escape, Georgia! You just missed that meta-molecule!

Juliet and Georgia, slightly ahead of the boys, but a long way to go.

Remember you can only grab one catalyst at a time

because they're highly volatile.

We've got to stop this Worker from mixing up this dangerous concoction.

And here comes more molecules now!

Keep going, Isaac! You're gaining on the girls.

Theo, you've found another meta-molecule,

but you're lagging behind!

The Recruit that brings me back most catalysts

will be rewarded with the most bio-rods.

Come on, Recruits, they're right under your noses! Get a move on!

We've got to avert this explosion.

Well done, Isaac, another one for you.

This mission is getting critical, Recruits!

But there are still catalysts to be found.

Another precious catalyst for you, Juliet.

One left to find.

Search every nook and cranny!

Well done, Juliet! That last catalyst is yours!

Congratulations, Recruits! That's all the catalysts. Well done!

Fantastic work, Recruits! You averted a massive explosion.

The Resistance is very proud of your efforts.

Now, with just one more mission to go before you face the Vaporiser,

I can reveal that the Recruit who collected the most catalysts,

who, therefore collects these two bio-rods, is...

Juliet! Congratulations, excellent work.

In second place and collecting one bio-rod...Georgia!

Terrific work, Georgia, very good going.

Now, guys, I've got a little something for you here.

Not a sausage! Come on, lads,

you've only one more mission before the Vaporiser!

Just one more chance to get yourself some more bio-rods!

Some come on, guys, on to the next mission. This way.

I'm really, really happy I got two bio-rods

because that means I've got eight

which means I'm now four ahead of Isaac. Caleb will be proud of me.

I'm really disappointed I didn't get any more bio-rods in Scattergrab.

I thought that Juliet doesn't need any more.

I need some more.

Girl power has taken over!

If it was left to the boys to do Scattergrab,

the whole of Future Gate would have exploded.

The girls have beat the boys in Scattergrab.

We have disappointed mankind!

To add insult to injury,

I've only found a little mini enemy up here on the bridge.

I wish all of the canheads around Future Gate were this small!

It would make the job of the Resistance that much easier.

I can't see these little 'uns putting up much of a fight.

Wonder if it's got any cool attachments or accessories...

No. This weedy little fellow has got nothing to frighten me!

I wonder what that button does.

Ah! Ah...

Oh...

Well, you know, toys are for babies, anyway, aren't they?

I wonder how that toy got here in the first place.

Cybele? Are you there, Cybele?

-Hello, Caleb. What do you have there?

-I found it.

-A toy Roboid.

-I haven't seen one of those in such a long time.

-Were there ever kids here at Future Gate?

-No...

but that is where all this began.

-The toy...the first Roboid.

-You're kidding me! This?

My father manufactured toys. They made him millions.

When I was 17, I developed the technology for a toy robot.

That toy in your hand made me rich in my own right.

It was that fortune that established Cycon Research and Future Gate.

-This place?

-Our research projects were sometimes controversial,

and always highly classified.

That's why I founded Future Gate onboard a ship.

Security is so much less of an issue when no-one knows where you are

and surrounded by water.

-You should have stuck to toys!

-I know.

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

We've got to move fast out of harm's way and onto the next mission!

Come on!

I think that Wardroid knows someone or something is in this area!

So we're going to have to stay extra quiet

if we want to avoid getting zapped by those vector beams.

There are two more bio-rods to grab if we can sneak them away

from that Wardroid, known officially to its Cycon creators

as a battle-class Roboid.

Combat specialists, the centurions of the Roboid empire,

they have surprisingly low robot IQ.

Fingers crossed that proves to be of help in this next mission.

In just a moment you're going to take up position

on the Shocker pads in front of you.

I think the Wardroid is testing some form of time portal apparatus

by programming sequences of coloured lights into this machine.

I need you to mimic its movements exactly.

If you should fail, the consequences will be deadly

as alarms will sound and it will try to blast you with its vector beams.

You're going to be working individually

to follow the sequence without errors.

If you step incorrectly or fail to take a step when it's your turn,

you're out of the mission. Last Recruit standing, two bio-rods.

-Are we clear?

-Yeah!

-OK, recruits, go for it! Good luck!

Mission on!

Recruits, you must concentrate on the order of lights.

The Wardroid is programming a sequence of seven colours.

This is not a team mission, Recruits, it's one against one,

so try not to be put off by the others.

One false step or one hesitation

will result in that Roboid opening fire with its vector beam.

Keep your eyes focused on the colours.

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

-Begin.

-Blue!

Blue!

Green.

Green.

Yellow.

Red.

Blue.

Excellent work.

Remember, it's every recruit for themselves.

Only one of you can take those bio-rods.

The series is moving up to a sequence of eight colours.

Keep an eye on the lights and memorise the code.

Try to remember that sequence

and, most importantly, where your colour comes.

Let's see if you can complete this sequence in time.

Remember, there will only be one Recruit left standing.

So concentrate!

Begin.

Red.

Georgia! Georgia!

-One of you must take a step!

-Red.

-Juliet's given you

the wrong information. Watch out! Use your panic button!

Juliet, Georgia made the error, but that was in fact your move.

And now we're going on to a sequence of nine colours. Keep your focus

and follow the code.

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

the time sensors will kick in.

We are down to just three Recruits.

Which one of you will claim those precious two bio-rods?

Begin.

Yellow.

Blue.

Green.

Is it me?

Recruits, one of you must take a step.

-Yellow.

-Just in time, Juliet!

-That was so close.

-Blue.

Green.

Recruits, one of you has to take the next step.

You've got five seconds.

If it's your move and you don't take that step, it's mission over!

Juliet, you failed to step, you're out of the mission!

Remember your panic button!

The sequence moves up now to 11. Pay close attention.

Isaac, Theo, you're going head-to-head.

Which one of you will keep an eye on that code and make no mistakes?

There are two bio-rods at stake here

so it's well worth keeping an eye on those sequences.

If that Wardroid suspects you're in the area it could fire again,

so it's crucial that you get every one of the light sequences correct.

Begin.

Green.

Blue.

Green.

Isaac, that's the wrong step.

Watch out! Panic button!

Theo, you've survived Shocker! Grab those bio-rods and get out of here!

Excellent work, Theo. What were your tactics?

Well, I remembered them in my head and spoke them out loud.

Exactly the right way to do it!

Well, the girls normally leading the group,

but now the boys are fighting back!

I wish I'd kept my own mind, because I trusted Juliet,

and I got eliminated out of the mission.

And I'm starting to wonder if there's a darker side to Juliet.

Juliet betrayed our team and told Georgia to step.

I told Georgia to step on to the red square

when it was my turn to step. That was a complete, complete accident.

I really didn't want to get her out of the mission.

Get off!

I'm too young to die! Get off!

Good job this Roboid is completely, well and truly "armless"!

Armless! Brilliant! What do you think of my jokes?

Thanks very much.

I've been here too long. Anyway...

Theo did really well on that last mission, Shocker,

and managed to bag himself two bio-rods.

Sadly that is not enough if he wants to get out of the next mission,

a mission so scary, so terrifying that it even sends shivers

down my bionic arm.

The Vaporiser!

The Vaporiser!

So, Recruits... welcome to the Vaporiser,

this geometric giant deep in the underbelly of the Future Gate ships.

It's here that we will be saying goodbye to one of you!

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

one step at a time, from your corner to the doorway opposite.

But you won't be alone on the Vaporiser.

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 you do, then I'm afraid you will be vaporised.

The Recruit who has the most bio-rods at this stage

will be automatically safe from the Vaporiser. And with eight bio-rods,

-that Recruit is Juliet.

-Yeah!

I'm afraid that means that you three Recruits will be competing

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

And I'm sorry, but in this mission you will not have your panic buttons

to get yourselves safe.

So good luck. 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 forward because the grid is still blue.

Remember this and take your first steps.

This is a mission of strategy,

so keep your wits about you and step cautiously.

Theo, make your first step.

Forward.

Isaac, make your move.

Forward.

Georgia...

Forward.

The last time the Vaporiser changed colour, the lights turned blue.

Now the lights are purple.

That means the Roboidz will step left next.

Left.

Left.

Left.

Try not to get trapped,

otherwise the Roboidz will vaporise you.

The lights are green, that means the Roboidz will step right next.

Forward.

Forward.

Forward.

Only two of you will survive this mission.

The other one will be leaving us for good.

The Vaporiser has turned green.

That's a right move next for the enemy.

Theo, another decision, left or right? What are you thinking?

Left.

-Isaac?

-Right.

I'm really stuck between the two moves.

-Er...

-Time to choose.

-Make a move.

-Right.

The Roboidz are not going to make it easy for you, Recruits.

The lights are purple. That means that now the Roboidz will step left.

Theo, make a move.

Forward.

Looks like it's decision time, Isaac.

Straight on into the midst of the Roboidz or right?

Right.

-Georgia, take a step.

-Right.

This mission is all about outwitting your opponents,

both the Roboidz on the Vaporiser and your fellow Recruits.

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

Theo, take a step.

Left.

Isaac, make your move.

Right.

-Georgia.

-I think I've made a mistake but I'm just going to keep going

-and hope for the best.

-You have to make that step, Georgia!

Right.

Recruits, you are aiming for the doorway directly in front of you.

Remember, you can never retrace your steps.

The lights are blue, Recruits, that means the Roboidz

will step forward.

Remember, none of you have your panic buttons.

Theo, what are you thinking?

I can't go back. He might step on to my triangle.

And that's the only way I can go, so...

Forward.

Isaac?

I can't move. I can't go backwards.

-And Theo's on the triangle in front of me.

-You're right, Isaac.

Unfortunately, there's nowhere for you to go. You are trapped...

and will now fall victim to the Vaporiser!

Congratulations, Recruits.

That means you're through to the next phase of the mission.

Quickly, get off the Vaporiser!

Well, well, well, four become three. Do you guys think I've chosen

the strongest, the bravest, the toughest Recruits

-to take with me to the next phase?

-Yes!

Of course we're all sorry to see Isaac go. He was a good Recruit.

He was smart, but we can take comfort from knowing

that wherever he is now, he's safe from the Roboidz.

At least I hope so. I wonder if we'll ever find out

where the Vaporiser sent him.

Mission 2110 continues and whatever dark forces are at work here,

we're ready to take them on! Let's go!

Forces that you will never destroy, Caleb!

Call yourself a hero!

Pah! I'll tell you what you are!

And I'll tell you once and for all...

you're a zero!

You haven't got what it takes to beat the might of my Roboidz!

Future Gate is mine, Caleb, and you know it.

Future Gate is mine!
