A lit dark wooden room comes into view. The  room had an old wooden door and a window on the right side of it. The only furniture there was a wooden cupboard that was filled with different types of drinks, a chair and a table with a high tech computer. The floor was dusty and old. A figure, wearing a cloak and holding a rectangular thin layered item in his/ her right hand, runs into the room frantically as if someone had been chasing him/her. The figure, anxiously sits down on the chair and turns the computer on. 

In a distance, police sirens could be heard. The flashing red and blue lights could be seen through the window, gradually getting louder and brighter by the minute. The figure knew he didn't have much time left. He put the item that was held in his hand down on the table and began to do his work.

Furiously typing, he glances ever so often from the computer to the door and back again. When it found what it was looking for, the figure started.

Humans. They are intelligent beings. 

Footsteps could be heard walking through the grass syncing with each other almost as if robotic, the figure, slowly opens his cloak, revealing a 20 year old man, brown hair, he wore a stern expression on his face.

They have made millions of success throughout the world. But what does this have to do with the future.

Once he finished, he quickly shuts down the computer, deleting everything that was stored in it, except the recording and morphed it into a tiny cube. The footsteps gradually got louder, as it could now be heard only a few meters away.

 If you get this message, that means you are the one who will make sure that the future is saved. 

Th man soon took the cube and the rectangular item into his hand again and ran towards the cupboard and took out all the bottles he could find and smashed them to the ground. Then, he took a lighter from his pocket and threw it to the ground, starting a fire. Once he was certain the fire wouldn't die, he successfully jumped out of the window and ran towards the woods. 

Year 2070. Robots have taken over the world. The few remaining people left alive have run into hiding. I have sent this message back in time to where it all began.

Once he was in the woods, he quickly went up to a rabbit's burrow and placed both cube and the rectangular item inside it and softly called out.

"Come out. It's me." 

A rabbit soon appeared, but it didn't look like a normal rabbit. It was more robotic and most of it was made of metal. Both it's eyes looked like car lenses and their skin was smooth but hard. 

"Keep this safe for me." The man ordered as the rabbit sniffed the both items that was placed before it started disintegrating it. The man, not shocked with what the rabbit is doing, waited patiently for it to finish burning the items before asking.

"You have it?" 

The rabbit only twitched it's nose before scurrying off deeper into it's burrow, a bright light could be seen coming from the burrow before the light disappeared. Once it was out of sight, there was a robotic voice.

"Halt. Do not move. Security are on their way. If you move, I will shoot."

A new figure came into place, one more robotic and tall. There, in all of it's glory, stood a robot, his right arm morphed into a gun and his left morphed into a shield. 

"Go to hell, bastard." 

The man threw a rock at the robot, expecting it to hit but the rock was easily deflected away by the robot. The robot's eyes started glowing red, as if for precaution and with that, the man started running.
