Episode 9 Mission: 2110

'Previously...'

Brave young people from the past have travelled time

to help me defeat the metal menace of the Roboids.

'There are serious numbers of bio rods up for grabs in this mission.

'Those Guards can't see you, but they have heat-sensing technology.'

The Worker's sending more metamolecules over.

We must avert an explosion by removing

as many catalysts as possible.

We've been spotted by a Wardroid. We've got to move fast

and get onto the next mission.

Welcome to the Vaporiser.

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

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

We can take back Earth if we work together!

'This is Mission 2110!'

Welcome to a world where the human race is no longer in charge.

Where the machine is king and people,

if there are any left apart from me, are in hiding.

The Roboids continue to gather in huge numbers

on the upper deck of Future Gate. One day soon, we will defeat them.

I'm Caleb, part man, part machine.

And humanity's last chance of survival.

With your help, I can take back the Earth. Join the resistance.

It's Mission 2110.

Well, well, well. It seems that there's one less of you. Oh, yes.

I remember. Isaac was swallowed up by the Vaporiser.

-Why do you think you survived?

-Because I had 110 percent confidence

-in myself and I kept my head in the game.

-Very impressive.

You'll need more of that determination today

as the next time you face the Vaporiser,

it will swallow up two more of you.

Will you be one of the unfortunates?

-Don't make me laugh. I'll be here till the end.

-Confident chat.

Whoever joins my elite team will need plenty of that

to defeat Neuros and her tin-head army. Have you got what it takes?

Definitely. I'm still here, aren't I?

Are you? Well, we must crack on.

-Have you any idea how many Roboids there are to be defeated?

-ALL: No.

Something in the region of 323,412.

Oh, no, I'm wrong. 13.

So all the more reason to get stuck into another day's robo-bashing.

And you'll be pleased to know I am reducing all bio rod scores

back to zero.

So, have you got the qualities I'm looking for? Are you brave?

-ALL: Yes!

-Are you intelligent?

-ALL: Yes!

-Do you still sleep with the light on?

-ALL: Yes!

I knew it! Right, onto the next mission, recruits.

It's a hot one, so look out.

It's getting pretty toasty down here in Cargo Hold 3.

And you guys are about to face three of the toughest Roboids around.

Otherwise known as the Drone Class, these heavy-metal monsters

do all the jobs around Future Gate that no-one else wants to do.

This mission's called Flame Thrower.

But don't panic, you're not going to be throwing any flames.

You're going to be chucking these, aerodynamic rotating projectiles,

which use the latest in aerodynamic rotating technology.

You've got to throw these over the heads of the Workers

and into those cage containers behind them.

For every correct hit, you can step forward and grab one bio rod,

-up to a maximum of three. Understood?

-ALL: Yes!

Good luck, recruits. Get lobbing!

'Mission on!'

OK, recruits, get throwing!

Recruits, just three shots on target

and you can bag yourself three bio rods. Try to be accurate.

Those nine-foot metal lumps are determined to get in your way.

This is a timed mission, recruits, so try and make every throw count.

Yes! Juliet, that's one! Grab that first bio rod!

Georgia, that's one, as well!

Excellent work. Keep going, Theo! You can do it!

Juliet, that's two. Your second bio rod is all yours.

Unlucky, Georgia. Just wide of the net.

No! That's another miss, Georgia! Try to concentrate.

Yes, Juliet, that's three! Now get under there!

The Workers will step forward. Then you have just 30 seconds left.

Yes, that's your first one, Theo! Go grab that bio rod! Well done.

But time's running out and you still have two more bio rods to get.

Those kettle heads won't make it easy for you.

Throw high and aim accurately.

A perfect throw, Theo! Grab that second bio rod!

If you keep hitting the Workers, it'll only make them angrier

and angrier.

They're advancing. Remember your panic buttons if they get too close.

That's your third one! Grab that bio rod, Theo, and get out of there!

Georgia, you can grab the second one. Quickly!

You can still grab that last one if you're quick!

Get out of there! Grab it! Now run!

I really enjoyed Flame Thrower. One of the best missions yet.

Turns out, I'm quite good at it. All three bio rods.

In Flame Thrower, I didn't think I'd get any bio rods,

because I'm rubbish at throwing. So when I got two, I was really happy.

To start with, the Worker really put me off.

But I'm becoming a stronger recruit day by day, so I got all three.

It gets pretty lonely here on Future Gate.

I mean, I know I've got the recruits and Cybele, my mum,

but she's just a voice in a computer.

It's time I put some friends in my scrapbook.

I've managed to scavenge this photo printer

and it looks like it's in the middle of something.

Oh, a Shade. Great. That's all I need.

There's something not right here. Ah, perfect.

Urgh!

There we go. That's better.

Excellent work in Flame Thrower, recruits.

This mission, however, is all about the Shades.

Cargo Hold 4 is just crawling with the stinky little blighters.

You can probably smell them from here.

The by-product of the Roboids' destruction of the human race

in the latter part of the 21st century, the Shades now serve

their mechanical masters. They will never attack you.

At least, they haven't so far. But they will make your life difficult

and you must never touch them. There are five bio rods up for grabs

in this mission, which I call Shade Grid.

It's a logic test which involves the use of these coloured bars

and a whole bunch of circuit blocks. The grid itself is made up

out of 12 squares which can only be formed

by locking the bars into position.

You're looking to box in the Shades standing around the grid.

Enclose one and that Shade will release one bio rod.

-But you must be very careful taking it from them. Understood?

-ALL: Yes!

Good luck. Plan your moves carefully. Go for it!

'Mission on!'

Five Shades guarding five bio rods.

All you have to do is lock in a Shade to unlock one bio rod.

Each recruit has to place a coloured bar in position one at a time.

Think logically and plan ahead.

Don't be hasty. Think carefully.

Remember, recruits, if you complete a square then you can move again.

Box in a Shade and you will release one bio rod.

Five bio rods are available, so this could be very good news for you.

-How you doing, Theo?

-Good.

-Confident?

-Er...sort of.

-Sort of confident.

All five bio rods are still up for grabs.

Are we going to see one recruit make a clean sweep?

All playing well so far. Who's going to be the first to slip up?

Try not to be put off by the smell of those Shades, Juliet.

Keep a clear head.

Five bio rods at stake.

One recruit can take them all if you plan your moves carefully enough.

Will it be you, Theo, to grab that first bio rod

straight out of the hands of a Shade?

-What are you thinking, Theo?

-Erm...

I think I can go there.

All five still at stake.

-What are you thinking, Juliet?

-I'm thinking Georgia just stole my move.

Erm...

-You've got to put a bar somewhere on the grid, Juliet.

-I know, I know.

OK, I'll just have to do it.

This could be your chance, Theo.

You've completed a square so you get another turn.

Grab another bar and make your move.

Theo, this is not a team mission.

Think ahead or you might give away the advantage to a fellow recruit.

Square number two. It's starting to look like you might be on a roll.

-What are you thinking, Theo?

-I've got nowhere to go

-without giving Georgia some bio rods.

-It's got to go somewhere, Theo.

Theo, I'm sorry to say you've just made a very big mistake.

I was hoping you'd do that.

OK, Georgia, how are you going to capitalise on this apparent mistake?

That's a complete square. You receive another turn.

And that is your first bio rod, Georgia,

and the first bio rod of this mission.

Be careful taking it from that Shade. If you touch it,

you are out of the mission. Congratulations.

And you receive another turn.

Take it nice and easy. Watch out for those Shades, Georgia.

And that second bio rod is yours.

Careful. That's your second bio rod, Georgia.

And you still have another turn.

Congratulations, a third bio rod is yours. Extremely well played.

One more turn now.

And another turn.

Well done, Georgia, you are steaming ahead and planning well.

That's your fourth bio rod out of a possible five.

Careful how you take it.

And it looks like the final turn will also be your, Georgia.

Congratulations, Georgia. All five bio rods.

You capitalised well on Theo's catastrophic mistake

and you have managed to get all five bio rods in play.

-Whoo-hoo! Yes!

-Congratulations.

In Shade Grid, I made a stupid decision

which led to Georgia getting all five bio rods. I'm so annoyed with myself.

I was saying to myself, "Don't do it, Theo, don't put that rod down"

and then he just went and put it down.

Did I ever mention how much I love Theo?

In Shade Grid, he made a tragic mistake

and gave me all the bio rods! Remind me to buy him a little gift later.

So, what have we got here? The Workers.

There were loads of them in Cargo Hold 7

but my team depleted quite a few. So that's promising.

And the guards. Yeah, they patrol every nook and cranny of these ships

and we haven't depleted nearly as many of them as I'd have liked to.

Still, plenty of time for that.

And, of course, the Wardroids.

Laser-firing beasts.

Cargo Hold 5 is riddled with them,

so we'll have to get there soon to give them a fright.

Better pick that up. Tidy desk, tidy mind.

Tidy up Future Gate from these wretched Roboids.

-Cybele.

-Hello, Caleb. How can I help you?

I keep stumbling across secret files up on the bridge.

The people that ran Future Gate, your people,

Cycon Research, I know they built the Roboids,

-but what else did they do here?

-Cyconetics.

The science of conscious cybernetics was only a part of it.

As you know, there were time-travel projects

and medical research programmes. My own research cell

is where I think you've now made your lair.

Looks like we have the same taste in home furnishings, then.

I always thought it was curious how you chose to live there.

Maybe there's some shared link between us, Caleb.

-Despite what I became.

-How does it feel?

A human consciousness digitised onto a computer?

The mother that became a motherboard, you mean?

I can't even start to imagine.

It's best that you don't.

Cybele, don't go!

Cybele.

OK, recruits, we're here in Cargo Hold 5 for your next mission,

and this is absolutely your final chance to grab some bio rods

before you go face to face with the Vaporiser one more time.

This is the combat training facility,

where Roboids are turned into tools of destruction,

and this guy is no exception.

The most fearsome and menacing of all Roboids,

the Battle Class variety. Otherwise known as Wardroids,

These guys are programmed to destroy anything in their path,

including the path. So you'll be pleased to know I'm sending you

into the heart of the battle zone to take on our metal-head friend.

Show me some battle moves. Yeah. Good, er... Good luck with those.

The aim of this mission is to grab three bio rods

from the far end and put them in the power boxes on the opposite wall.

This reverses the polarity of the power feeding the can head,

causing it to short circuit. Get all three and it shuts down completely,

allowing you to grab a fourth bio rod from its back.

And if you step onto or over any of those hazard markings,

you are automatically out of the mission.

You have just one minute to complete this task.

Georgia, you're up first. Good luck! Get robo-dodging!

'Mission on!'

Remember, the aim of this mission is to reverse the polarity

of the power in this area to short circuit that Wardroid.

Georgia, that Wardroid might look intimidating,

but you have got to get past it to secure your first bio rod.

Great bit of dodging!

Slam that bio rod in the box and hit the button, Georgia!

That's one circuit blown! Two more and we can bust

this Wardroid's electronics big time! Brilliant move!

You've just missed getting hit by that bar!

Good going, Georgia. Let's see you duck and weave out of his way!

You must never step outside the hazard zone.

If you do, you'll be zapped out of the mission.

Put the bio rod in. Now hit the button!

Georgia, you've hit the hazard area! That's you out of the mission!

I'm really annoyed that I stepped on the hazard line.

I had loads of time left. What was I thinking?

'Mission on!'

-Aghhh.

-Is this David and Goliath or Theo and the Wardroid?

Your time starts now!

Great dodge there!

Grab that bio rod, Theo, let's see if we can't get you all four.

That Wardroid is ferocious!

Oh, Theo, be careful! Brilliant! Well recovered!

Now lock in that bio rod and let's zap this bot! Great stuff!

OK, recruit, try and doge that bar.

Looks like the Wardroid means business.

You have to be quick! Time is ticking away!

Theo, you've slipped again! That Wardroid must be leaking oil.

Be careful. Well recovered. Now bash that button

and bust another circuit. OK, there's less than 30 seconds to go.

You've got to keep dodging that Wardroid.

If you can get that last bio rod in place,

we can shut it down completely.

Just ten seconds left, Theo! Yeah, excellent dodging!

Just managed to miss the hazard marks.

Hit the button and let the sparks fly!

Five, four...

Yes!

-Excellent work, Theo. He's powered down. Grab that bio rod.

-Yes!

Excellent, Theo. Fantastic! That's four bio rods for you.

It felt amazing when I powered down the Roboid at the end of the mission.

Yes! Check me out!

'Mission on!'

Juliet, let's see if you can match recruit Theo.

Four bio rods up for grabs, but this is just a one-minute mission.

It's all about the speed.

Grab that first bio rod.

Try to outwit that lump of scrap metal, Juliet!

Brilliant move! Just missed getting hit by that bar.

Lock in that bio rod and press the button to short circuit that Roboid.

-Ha!

-I'm liking your battle cry, recruit, but get a move on!

You've got to dodge that Wardroid, Juliet.

Let's see if we can make it two for two.

30 seconds, Juliet.

No time to waste.

You can still do this. Hit the button!

Let's grab that third one! Let's go!

You have to be quick. Time is ticking away.

This is it. Ten seconds! Get a move on!

Come on, recruit, you can do this.

But you must hit that button in time to shut down the enemy.

Excellent stuff, Juliet! Just in time!

That's mission well and truly accomplished. Take that bio rod.

You've earned it. Four bio rods and one less Wardroid to worry about.

You may be a nine-foot Roboid but I'm a resistance recruit!

Yes!

I was really, really happy to get four bio rods in the mission.

I mean, me, a 12-year-old girl, powering down a nine-foot Roboid.

You can't get better than that.

Now, Cybele tells me that in order to be a true leader,

I have to understand my recruits.

For example, their childhood.

I don't remember my childhood, so I need to know what theirs was like.

What kind of toys did they play with? Maybe something like me.

A hero toy. Yeah, OK, a 21st century toy.

Something strong, intelligent, powerful, good looking.

What?

Oh. Not exactly what I was expecting.

Er... Ah.

There we go, mini metal-head.

Got a little girlfriend for you. Treat her nicely. Some chance!

We've been here before. The deadliest of missions

and this time it's even more deadly.

The Vaporiser takes no prisoners

and two of you will fail in this mission, leaving 2110 for good.

At the start of the mission, you will take up position

on the far corners of the grid. In the centre is your holy grail,

a bio rod packed with so much energy and life force

it will guide my successful recruit to our final quest

to shut down the Roboid empire.

As before, you make your way across the Vaporiser one step at a time.

The Shades will also, in turn, take one step each.

But, unlike before, this time you will have no way of knowing

in which direction the Shades are about to move.

That will be determined by the Vaporiser itself.

If you have to step into a space occupied by a Shade,

or allow one of them to step into yours, then it's mission over.

And I'm sorry, on this mission, you will not have panic buttons

to get yourselves safe.

Georgia, as the recruit who has collected the most bio rods,

you will take the first step. Theo and Juliet,

you have seven bio rods each, so we have a tiebreak situation.

We need to determine which one of you will be taking the second

and which the third step.

So blue will represent Theo, yellow will represent Juliet.

The recruit who will be taking the second step on the Vaporiser is...

-..Juliet.

-Yes!

-Good luck, recruits.

And this time, to two of you, goodbye.

'Mission on!'

Recruits, you're about to face the Vaporiser once again.

Only this time, you're up against those horrible, stinking Shades.

Take your steps, recruits, towards that final super bio rod.

-Forward!

-Forward!

Forward!

The Vaporiser has turned green, so that's a right move for the Shades.

Left.

-Left.

-Right!

The lights are green again, recruits,

so that's another right step for the Shades.

You have to avoid the Shades at all costs.

-Forward.

-Step into their path or allow them to step into yours...

-Forward.

-..and you will be vaporised.

-Forward.

The lights are blue, so that's a forward step for the Shades.

Only one recruit will succeed in this mission.

Left.

Left.

Left!

Recruits, you can never step back to where you've stepped before.

The Vaporiser has turned blue. A forward move for the Shades.

Two of you will be vaporised by the end of this mission,

-so make every step count.

-Forward!

-Forward.

-Watch out, Juliet.

Try not to get trapped, otherwise the Shades will grab you.

Left.

The Vaporiser has turned green,

so that's a right move for the Shades.

-Right.

-I really don't want to have to do this, but...

Those Shades are scary. I'm going to have to go...left.

-Let's hope, for your sake, that was a safe move.

-Left!

The Vaporiser has turned blue. A forward move for the Shades.

That Shade is dangerously close to you, Georgia,

so choose your next move carefully.

There's only one place I can go. Right!

-Your move, Juliet.

-Left.

Forward.

The lights are blue, so that's a forward step for the Shades.

Georgia, as the recruit that stepped first,

you continue to have right of way on this mission.

However, if you make an error, you could be stepping into danger first.

I'm really, really disappointed that he made that move

because it looks like I have to go back now.

-Back.

-You haven't retraced your steps, so that's a good move.

-But try not to trap yourself.

-Left.

Forward.

The lights are green, so that's a right step for the Shades.

Georgia, you had the advantage at the start,

-but Theo looks like he's now in the strongest position.

-Right.

Left.

Theo, it looks like you're getting very close to that super bio rod.

After this step, I'll be one step away

and these Shades are getting really close.

Forward.

The Vaporiser has turned green, so that's a right move for the Shades.

Let's see if that's made any difference to the outcome.

-Right!

-Left.

Theo, one more step to make it into my elite team.

-Grab that bio rod and power down the Vaporiser!

-Forward!

I've got a message for you Roboids and Shades on my final mission.

You're going down!

Theo, you did it.

You have battled through 12 missions, collected 13 bio rods,

and in doing so, made a serious dent in the armour of the enemy.

-How do you feel?

-I feel amazing. This is just the beginning.

-Those Roboids have got more to come.

-I'm pleased to tell you, Theo,

that you are going to join Callum and Millie

in the final stage of battle. As for the other two recruits,

well, they did their duty well and perhaps one day we'll find out

if they landed back safely in the 21st century.

Until then, Mission 2110 continues.

It seems as though you're still not listening to me.

Another three recruits failing and in my grasp.

You're not the leader you think you are.

I am the one with the power.

My Roboids are strong

and the Vaporiser even stronger.

You have no chance. No chance at all.
