The mean borg threw a 10 dollar bill and punched Gray in the face suddenly like lightening. He crumbled to the ground; completely knocked out. A drizzle of blood seeped out of his mouth and it soaked his navy blue shirt. Crow was enraged. His hands balled in fists and he angry screamed very bad words at the borg. He took out his phaser and shot at the target on setting 13. Even when the borg was a pile of ash, he kept on firing at nothing. The damage printed a big gap on the restaurant door.

The waiter that was about to serve their food, fainted with the portions spattering on her face. Crow picked up Gray and put him in the passenger seat of the executive car. He slowly started the car engine and drove through the bumpy metallic road. He kept an eye on him; making sure his condition would not get any worse.

Crow went through the front door and set Gray on the couch. He raced upstairs to find a med kit and brought it down to the main level. He supported his neck by placing a pillow and bandaged his forehead. Then he put a fuzzy blanket over him.

After monitoring him for awhile, Crow collected the Deewritoes plans and traveled to his private train stop where he would be directed to his laboratory.

2:15 pm

"BOOM!"

Gray was harshly thrown onto the ground from the couch. He cried as he felt some blood oozing out of his ear. Slowly, he got up and tried to figure out what just happened. He noticed he was in Crow's mansion with a bandage over his forehead. There was one flight of marble stairs and many high tech TV's/computers. Plus, there was a neatly folded note on the table.

He tip-toed to the table and carefully read the note,

You were knocked out by a stupid borg. He received the wondrous opportunity of becoming ashes to help the organic plants grow better. I went back to the Laboratory to execute the highly requested product. I knew that you would be totally okay with the risks of Unstable Chemical Disaster. I double checked everything and the systems are totally operational. Plus, the product will improve thousands of lives for citizens on Therica.

Make yourself comfortable. There is fresh food in the Tonic Fridge and video games in the cupboards.

Don't worry about anything.

PS: The password for the emergency lock down vault is ILOVEFLUFFYCATS.

Gray mentally slapped himself. What a horrible idea. He opened the fridge and made himself a cold salad. Then he went on one of Crow's laptops and searched the nitro net. He looked at the brand new selection of cars for sale. All of them were junk and bad looking. Gray hysterically laughed at one of the deals:

Awesome car for sale. Really good deal. And it is real. Only 10000 credits! Engine, wheels, brakes, headlights, transmission, and steering wheel not included. Purchase now and get a free glove box for your enjoyment!

"Could I get one simple little car that works on this planet? Even the space ships are junk!", Gray wondered out loud.

He remembered Crow's speech and how he wanted the community to become more resourceful by taking out space shuttles and the classic cars. He was one of the few people to even own a vehicle.

Gray even checked the black market.

Nothing was there.

The screen would not even load.

He found this odd because he knew that Crow had really fast network. And the wealthy president goes on the black market to purchase things too. He went on different website: Clever-drone.

After 45 minutes of yelling at the computer, Gray unplugged the laptop and decided to go outside for a walk. He first checked the window and was mortified. The sky was pitch black and buildings were exploding automatically. Crow was racing towards the door screaming,

"VAULT...VAULT!"

--------------------

12:30 pm

Crow walked to the train stop and waited for the efficient vehicle to arrive. He looked over the plans to make sure he comprehended everything correctly.

"TWEEEEET!"

The train came at racing speed to the station. It stop abruptly for the next passengers. He stepped on the train and sat in his reserved first-class seat. The seat had silver padding and reclined to the perfect setting. There was also a robotic maid that offered food to Crow once in a while.

He looked out the window to find that it was a very sunny day. Compared to the unusual harsh winters the delta quadrant had, this was savored by many people in the Anxar community. Little jungs and madchen were running around and rolling in the newly green grass. He wished that he had that much freedom when he was a kid.

Finally, the train stopped at the destination and Crow got off, excited to get to the Laboratory. He entered his pass-code and the silver door quickly opened. He walked though the gold-floored hallway and went into the chemistry room. The door shut behind him as he started to execute the plans.

1:30 pm

Crow was exhausted from the high stress work. He decided to take a break by leaving the dangerous chemicals out and protected by a sheet of glass. Then he left the building unlocked and went to the pet shop.

There were many fluffy tribbles in separate cages. He knew about the damage they could do but he could not help to look at them. They looked so cute and fuzzy. Maybe he could buy one...just one little tribble. It would not do that much damage now would it?

Crow knew better and left the shop to get a bite to eat.

2:15 pm

He returned to the laboratory to see it smoking and shaking. The door was sealed shut. Gullible Crow tried his best to budge it open. Then suddenly,

"BOOM!"

The door came flying out and smashed him in the face. He rolled and fell into one of the street sewers. He looked up and saw buildings exploding in a chain. His feet took off like mad men, trying to sprint to the mansion as fast as they could.

45 minutes later, Crow finally arrived at his house. The sky was pitch black from the toxic explosions. He saw Gray looking out of the window, shocked. His hands were shaking and his face was very pale. Crow screamed,

"VAULT...VAULT!"

Gray let him in and they raced to the basement. Half of the house was disintegrating. They shut the door and Crow typed in the secret code for the vault. It opened and he let Gray in first then he jumped in, slamming the door behind him.

They took into heavy breathes of clean oxygen. Crow realized that he made a big mistake. Gray gave him the 'I told you so' look.
