Chapter 1

Date: 29th July 2030

"Ruby, do you mind feeding the birds today? Ellie's just called in sick" a brown-haired man in a dark blue jumper and black suit trousers. He is the owner of London Zoo.

"Fine" Ruby sighed as she picked up two silver buckets, one containing seed the other containing fruit. Ruby was a short, black-haired, woman who was in a London Zoo uniform. She walked out of the office and down the road. She then entered a huge orange brick building.

As Ruby walked into the building she saw a glass roof overhead, as well as the tropical shrubbery and artificial waterfall that lines the side of the grey wooden bridge which leads from one side of the building to the other. She sprinkled the food as she walked around, suddenly she stopped.

A small odd-looking bird squawked as it glided from one of the tall shrubs onto the path. The bird had a mixture of dark and light brown feathers. It had sharp teeth in its feathered beak. The sharp claws on the edge of its wings let Ruby know this was an unusual bird. The feathered creature slowly walked towards her. Ruby moved closer to the creature, as quick as a flash just it launched forward and sliced Ruby's arm.

"OW!" Ruby cried, as her arm started to turn a pale purple colour, "What are you?" The creature lunged forward and claimed its victim.

A smaller four-winged bird glided through the small anomaly at the top of one of the trees. The first creature turned away from its kill, and started to run towards the smaller bird that landed on the side of the bridge.

"NICK! GET UP!" Abby screamed as she grabbed her dark green ARC coat.

"Abby stop shouting" Connor sighed as he put on his black ARC coat. They both lived in a top of the range Interactive Control System Apartment. An ICS Apartment has a built in computer to help make normal day to day chores easier (cleaning, answering the door, changing the channel on the TV). The apartment also contains two lifts; one leading to their private car park, the other to the front door.

"NICK!" Abby shouted as she threw two slices of bread into an odd looking toaster.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Nick complained as he walked out of his bedroom.

"Can you two stop shouting please?" Connor whined as he rubbed the side of his head, "you're giving me a headache."

"No Connor!" Abby snapped, "it's not our fault you have a headache, it's because you were at Jack's Bistro last night till eleven drinking with Becker! It's your own fault!"

"That's not fair Abby" Connor whined.

Rex glided around the room chirping, the Coelurosauravus was clearly amused.

"Nick, we need to get to the ARC. Don't forget you're supposed to be there at ten, your teams on field duty today" Abby smiled as she kissed Nicks cheek, "The toast is in the toaster, I've told R2 to activate an alarm at nine thirty so you can get to the ARC on time." She then ran to loft leading towards the car park, dragging Connor behind her.

"See ya mate!" Connor shouted as the lift doors closed.

"Well, that was a bit of a rush" Nick laughed as he caught the toast from the toaster, after buttering it he said, "R2, what on the TV?"

"Star Wars: The Rebellion is on Cartoon Network, would you like me to put it on?"

"Please mate" Nick smiled as he sat in front of the huge flat screen TV as the screen lit up.

"Anomaly Alert!" A man, who was sat in Jess' seat shouted, "London Zoo, the Tropical Bird house!"

"Right we'll take it" Sarah replied, "Where's Nick?"

"He's not here yet" The man replied, "Would you like me to contact him?"

"No, I'll go get him" Sarah sighed as Max and Thomas ran into the Hub, "Let's go!"

"Right behind you!" Max shouted as he Sarah, and Thomas ran out of Hub towards the car park.

BEEP! BEEP!

"Answer" Nick shouted. He was sat on the sofa opposite the huge plasma TV screen with Rex sat next to him; the little green lizard had clearly become a fan of Star Wars.

"Nick, there's an anomaly in the tropical bird house at London Zoo, get over there now or I'll come over there and get you!" Sarah shouted over the surround sound system.

"On my way" Nick sighed, as he grabbed his Blackbox the line went dead.

"Would you like this episode recording?" a robotic voice asked.

"Cheers R2" Nick shouted as he ran into the lift leading to the car park.

Please review, I would appreciate your ideas on where this series should go next.

Have you figured out why Connor and Abby's computer is called R2?

Sorry this chapter is a bit short, the rest should be longer than this.
