Espio glanced around as a low rumble filled the room. A light flickered on in the control room.
Four viewscreens activated, each showing a different view of a robot...no, wait, four robots with the same design. He could tell because a large chunk was missing from the armour of one, and another had several wires on it's leg exposed.
He gaped at the robots, then exclaimed:
"I can't take those things head-on, I need backup. I've got to tell the others..."
He spun to leave the room, dropping into a ninja dash...and sprawled headlong into the corridor. Slowly he climbed to his feet, glancing back to the control room to see what had tripped him.
A large cable ran from the control panel into the floor, and he had caught his foot on it, ripping it from the panel. It lay sparking on the ground.
"Uh...oops..."
He suddenly remembered the Robots, and sped up the corridor towards the others.
Behind him, a veiwscreen flickered on in the control room. It was Everret Longspike. He began to speak.
"If this message is activated, then the holo in the entry to the tomb has been cut off. Please pay attention to my instructions. In this room is a device that regulates the state of the being kept in this room. Do not interrupt the machinations of this device, as doing so could result in the being awakening...A terror that should never be wrought on the world again. Please be careful when exiting the room, as the connection for this device lays across the exit, a long silver cable."
The cable Espio had accidentally ripped from the console sparked with electricity.
