Robot Overlords Page #2

Synopsis: Alien robots come to Earth and assert their control over humanity. They claim that they only want to observe humanity. They enforce a strict no one allowed outside rule. They implant humans with a device that alerts sentries to anyone who goes outside and if they refuse to comply they are destroyed. They also employ humans to be their proctors. One of these men is Robin Smythe. He tries to get Kate Flynn to be his wife but she still mourns her husband whom Smythe says died. But her son Sean, doesn't believe it. He sends messages out asking anyone who knows anything about his father to tell him. One day he and three young people are fooling around when they discover that they turned off their implant. That's when they go outside and someone answers Sean's message and tells him where his father is. So he goes out to find him But Smythe pursues him and brings his mother as leverage. And when the robots corner Sean he somehow manages to control them. So the Robots are curious why he can do

I don't know why

you're not carrying it anyway.

Yeah.

You guys know

what this means, don't you?

I mean, this is just

the beginning.

Imagine what we can do

with this.

We should just go home

before we get caught.

No, we shouldn't do that.

I was thinking

we start a resistance.

Really kick some robot arse.

Look, my uncle,

he was in the SAS.

Taught me some guerrilla warfare

techniques

that can come in handy

in this kind of situation.

Same uncle who showed you how

to kill a man with one punch?

That's the one.

Yeah. You don't believe me?

No.

Alright, that's fine.

Connor, get up.

I wanna show Sean something.

I found this in the alleyway.

Sean, what's it say? Sean?

Danny was captured

after the fighting.

All RAF prisoners

were put on to ration duty.

He was a nice man.

He said how much he missed you.

After a few weeks,

they were moved on,

I don't know where.

The zone chief keeps files

at the school,

if you know anyone

who works there.

Good luck. A friend.

Scheie.

I'm going to the school,

see if I can find Dad's files.

Okay, you should all go home.

This is my risk.

It's crawling with robots.

Dad always said

being frightened of something's

the best reason to do it.

I'm not frightened.

I'm not. I'm just not stupid.

Nate, if it was our dad,

Sean would do the same for us.

Look, if we're not back

in an hour, get yourself home.

Otherwise, you stay here,

no matter what.

- Okay.

- Not no matter what, alright?

Just... If someone comes,

stay in the corner.

Alright?

It might be dangerous inside.

You're safer out here.

Yeah, I told you, didn't I?

Alright, leave it

with Shortarse the Viking.

You look after

the battery for us, okay?

We'll be back super soon,

I promise.

Promise?

I promise.

What the hell is that?

Did you see what he had

in his hands?

Files.

Come on. Come on.

Oi, what do

the red crosses mean?

I think it means

they're dead, Nate.

Smythe's wife and kid.

Nate, Morse Code Martin

was right.

Smythe did kill his wife.

He's alive, I knew it.

I bloody knew it.

Region 632-7560.

Where's that?

632-7560...

Got him. The hotel.

Nate, your implant,

it's flashing.

- Okay, where's the battery?

- I left it with Connor.

You don't wanna leave it

with Connor!

You told me to leave it there

with Connor!

- Why'd you leave it?

- Shut up.

Sh*t.

Sean, the implants are flashing

and we really need to go.

Sean!

Agh!

Sean.

Crap.

Guys?

Ballbags.

- Connor?

- Connor!

Why'd he take it with him?

Who's gonna...

Calm down, Nate.

I just don't know

where he's gone.

Tits.

Nate!

Alex!

Sean! Run!

Citizen, surrender immediately.

This is your final warning.

I'm surrendering.
