Bill activated the ultra killing robot that had once lain in such lovely pieces upon his work surface only a year ago. With a grinding of rusty cogs and a groan of faulty joints, the robot came to life. It's eyes glowing as red as the blood it lusted after.
Mog lifted his furry face from his daily nap and stared without much interest. "Sir I do declare you've done it again."
"Indeed so," Bill danced around the lab. "The evil Lord Quartce may yet release us this time."
"Have you tried just saying sorry, Sir?" Mog stretched himself before hopping out of the path of a flying missile.
"What! Apologise? Me? To him?" Bill chuckled coldly before ducking the robot's blade. "I must say that it is him who should jolly well apologise to us."
Over a year ago at the general galactic gathering the incident had occurred that landed both Bill and Mog in their current imprisonment. Bill had flatly refused to own up to any responsibility for his actions and Mog, being ever a loyal moggy, had followed quietly where ever Bill went.
"I say Mog, it appears this robot has made a jolly great hole in the wall." Bill was excited. He ran towards it and peered out at the room now revealed to them. The robot continued smashing the lab in it's endless quest for destruction but the two took no notice.
"Do you think this is wise Sir?" Mog murmured whilst licking a paw. "You do remember what always happens?"
"Why my dear Mog, of course I don't." And with that Bill ran head long into the force field that had always been in place for such escape attempts. ZAP. Mog's eyes watched Bill fly ungracefully back across the room with a crash.
After brushing himself down from the quick flight and ducking a grenade from the robot, Bill studied the small room. It did seem rather hopeless but that was before the robot shot itself in the rampage. "Oh fishcakes," Bill said.
"Back to the drawing board, Sir?" Mog asked after sniffing the smoking robotic remains.
Bill grumbled and gathered up the pieces of metal. "You know Mog sometimes you're no help at all."
"I'm hungry, Sir," was all Mog said.
