Doctor Who Adventures Beyond

3. The Prototyron

In a laboratory, a scientist enters the room with 4 men.

Alexander(scientist): Here he is, gentleman. The Cytron.

                                                                                   Alexander

Alexander points towards a robot.

Man: Fascinating. Does he work?

Alexander: Of course. I just have to turn him on.

Alexander picks up a remote, and presses a button on it. The Cytron's eyes activate.

Cytron: Who are these? Intruders!

Alexander: No, no. They are here to purchase you.

Cytron: Pur...chase?

Alexander: Yes. We talked about this, remember? If these gentleman decide to purchase you, you will become the president's pesonal guard.

Cytron: Puresidend...

Man 2: He...seems to struggle speaking.

Alexander: Indeed. But as a guard, you need to protect, not speak. I have a whole demonstration ready, follow me.

Alexander, the Cytron and the men leave the room and walk down a hallway. Suddenly, Andersen and Donnel appear in front of them.

Alexander: Who are you?

Donnel: Donnel and Andersen of Unit.

Andersen: Robots this intelligent have to be verified by Unit before properly released. Why hasn't Unit been informed of this project?

Alexander: Can I see your authorization?

Andersen: Of course. Donnel.

Donnel takes out their authorizations and show them to Alexander.

Alexander: This is my personal project. It doesn't involve you.

Donnel: It does. It's part of our job.

Men: Professor Alexander, there's nothing wrong with their authorizations. You have to hand over your robot to him.

Alexander: But you were just about to buy it.

Men 2: The procedure must be followed. Let us know when Unit returns the robot and we'll come again.

Alexander: ...

Alexander hands over to Andersen the Cytron's remote.

Alexander: This button here is how you turn him on and off. I expect it back in no more than a week.

Andersen: Thank you, professor.

Alexander: Cytron, follow these 2.

Cytron: I do nio now them.
