The Robotnic Complex
Chapter 1
Location: Earth Date: October 1, 2058
In the year of 2079, the earth was destroyed by a Chemical Holocaust. Since
space programs had been suspended, there was no way out. In 20 years, it
seemed, the human race would be extinct. But one teenager, Brian Floyd, had
found a way out. He was a technological wizzard. He built a spacecraft that
would carry him and enough supplies for 2 years across the galaxy to find a
world that could support human life. He would sleep during his journey in
a bath of Liquid Nitrogen. He would never age a day. Brian was 14 when the
spacecraft launched and he would sleep, and remain asleep, for the next
2,522 years.

The Spacecraft was slowly entering orbit above this strange planet. The
computer scaned the planet for signs of carbon-based life. The sensor went
off the scale. The computer begun to wake it's sleeping cargo. First, the
Nitrogen drained away, soon to be replaced by freezing cold water. The water
slowly warmed up as the heating pumps kicked in. Then, the nanobots went to
work replacing, destroying, and repairing damaged cells. When they were done
with their task, the tank was drained and the water replaced by a liquid gel
that was hot to the touch. When he was covered in the goo, the computer sent
a electrical shock through his body. His heart started, and he began to
breath. He was alive, but sleeping. So he was not aware of the small monitor
in the corner was flashing a error message. It read:
ENGINE BRAKING ERROR-ORBITAL DECAY INEVITABLE
Location: Knothole Village Date: March 4, 4580
Sonic was sitting back at the bottom of a tree near the ring pond, playing
a few notes on his guitar. He had just gotton back from a supply trip and
was taking it easy for a while. He hated when he had to go to Robotropolis.
He gazed up at the sky and saw a gleem of metal. "Hmm," he thought. "I better
go ask Rotor to check it out. He hurried toward Knothole at top speed. When
he got to Rotor's shop, Rotor was in the corner by the telescope controls.
"Hey Rotor, I think there is something you should see. It's..." Sonic didn't
finish his sentence. Rotor turned and looked filled with fear. "Do you mean
the spacecraft entering orbit?" Sonic just stood there. "You mean...not from
Robotnic?" Rotor started watching his display again. "We don't know that yet.
Go get the others. We need to decide something important." Sonic knew right
away what he was thinking. "Rotor, we don't even know if it's hostile." Rotor
turned back and spoke. "I know. That's why we have to think about this. If we
don't do this right, we might end up with someone worse than Robotnic. If
that's the case, we should blow it out of the sky before it's too late."

Brian stepped from the shower. He was still kinda tired, but he knew he had
a lot of work to do. And he didn't want to be covered in pink gel all night.
He pulled a pair of boxers and a some pants on, and grabbed a button down
shirt. He put the shirt on, but left it open. Ever since he could remember,
he had played the casual cool. Then he thought of how stupid it was to keep
all of it up. After all, he was the last of his race. "How quaint," he
thought as he light up all the touchboards on the Nav console. "Even now
I'm still a trendy fuck." He scaned the planet terrain and dected a village.
He continued to chuckle over the irony of it all when a flashing light
caught his eye. He looked toward the Engineering Touchboard.
ENGINE IGNITION FAILURE-ORBITAL DECAY IN TWO MINUTES, 42 SECONDS. "You
have got to be fucking kidding me!" Brian yelled as he leaped from his
chair at the main touchboard and ran toward the supply compartment. He had
Two minutes to grab some supplys and eject from the drive core. Then he had
the problem surviving re-entry.

Ouickly each of the senior Freedom Fighters had arrived at Rotor's lab and
had been brought up to speed. The were about to discuss what to do when the
telescope computer interupted. WARNING- CHANGE IN VELOCITY DETECTED. Rotor
went over to the panel and asked for a holographic display of the crafts
projected flight path. His mouth, along with everyone elses in the room,
dropped open. It would crash 2 1/2 Miles outside of Knothole.
Location: Mobius Orbit Date: 4580
Brian had gathered all the supplies he would need for two months.He checked
the timer. Still enough time to do what he had planed. He sat
back in front of the touchboard and entered the final command from the
Bridge of the Blade Runner. He opened the comm channels and aimed it at
the small village below. "Attention. This is the G.S. Blade Runner. My...

"...main ion engine has failed. I am attempting to ditch this spacecraft.
Any available help would be a great help. I am estimating to land about
2 1/2 to 3 miles south of your town. I may need medical assistance. I am
ejecting now. Over and out." The freedom fighters starred at the image until
it shimmered and disolved. Eventully Tails broke the silence. "He...he
looked like a terran. Like...Robotnic..." None of them protested this fact.
None of them broke the silence.

Brian quickly tightened his harness around his torso. He armed the
explosive bolts that held the drive core to the habital part of the ship.
He looked around him. After 2500 years, he was never going to see this
place again. With one last sigh, and a small prayer to lady luck, he pulled
the detonator. He gave out a cry as the spacecraft jerked and then became
still again. The windows were glowing red. His entry had started.
