EPISODE 6 – Time Travellers of Death

A meek Scientist in a white laboratory coat and scratched spectacles looks up nervously as he scuttles along the road behind General Menace. Ahead of him, the imposing mountain containing the HQ of the evil lord Doctor Sinister rises from the ground. Behind him, two armed guards prevent escape and so instead the Scientist concentrates on the small black box in his hands, clutching it as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

As the General and his entourage enter the Sinister Command Complex, the Scientist looks up at the sun for what he is sure will be the last time. But the sun is just as scared as he is and it is hiding behind a cloud.

Twenty-five minutes later, in sub-level 223 of the Imperial Command Centre…

Doctor Sinister: Good afternoon General! I see you finally managed to find your way down here. What kept you?

General Menace: I’m sorry my Lord, but half of the elevators appear to be out or order and there’s miles of yellow tape excluding entry to whole sectors of the base.

Yes, I’m afraid that’s to avoid Lab’ 47 – but we don’t want to talk about that. Not since "the incident".

Oh no. Are they still screaming? After four weeks?

Only some of them, but please, let’s not ruin a perfectly good day by talking about trivia – I see you’ve brought a friend.

Ah yes Sir, this is Professor Krebbs from the University of Kansas. I’m afraid we lost quite a few men in extracting him – funnily enough the Americans don’t take kindly to having their top scientists kidnapped.

(Oblivious) I’m very pleased to meet you Professor – I understand you have a gift for me?

(The Professor nods and hands over the black box)

Excellent!! General – behold! This device is a one of a kind – there will never be another like it! (Turns to the Scientist) Thank you Professor – you have done me a great service. Nothing in the world can stop me now!!

My Lord, what is this all about? I was taken from a vitally important planning conference to personally escort the Professor here.

Yes that’s right General, and now that he’s here, you can have him taken to level 34. We can’t have anyone talking.

(The Scientist screams as he is dragged bodily away down the corridor by the two guards)
