Week 7 – UDC 7

Stormy

Upon entering the cyberspace of NeuroBrain, Charlie was assaulted with visual and auditory stimuli that caused him to immediately close his eyes and put his hands over his ears. He wasn't certain how long he was crouched there, trembling from overstimulation, but a hand on his shoulder made him jump. "Is it safe?"

The chuckle in her voice carried in the sudden silence. "You should have told me you'd be visiting today, Charlie. I was missing real weather phenomena and…"

He looked up at her. "Got carried away?"

Diana smiled as she helped him up. "Just a little."

Trapped

He was trapped here, arms stuck exactly as they'd been when the drug had taken affect, his face a mask of permanent surprise. Chip didn't know how long it would take to wear off so he could move again, and it had already been three hours too long as he laid in the hospital bed, his feet handcuffed to the bed while a nurse sat watch over him.

Ever since the altercation outside of Public Works, he'd gained a new appreciation for what his victims had gone through in the name of business. That didn't mean he wouldn't do it all again in a heartbeat, though.

Escape

Walking right out of the front door wasn't a way he'd thought he was going to escape, but William Ray Morgan wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Not today. All he wanted to do was kill the robot, and he'd been given another chance to do just that when his henchman had managed to slip him the EVE module underneath his spaghetti.

As soon as he was away from the main gates, Morgan finally allowed himself to chuckle madly. It was turning out to be a great day!

Rescue

Sitting in the hotwired truck outside of the OCP Headquarters skyscraper, Jimmy couldn't help but wonder if maybe he should have gone in there with Robocop. After all, he'd barely been walking as it was, and there was a crazy psychopathic criminal in there doing heavens knew what.

Biting his lip in thought, the teenager looked around, and then got out of the truck and went inside. The security guard at the front entrance stopped him. "There's trouble. Can you help me call Metro South?"

The guard blinked down at him for a long moment before directing him to a vidphone.

Recover

When Nancy arrived at the OCP Headquarters building to get her son, she hadn't been expecting to see Pudface Morgan being led to a PortaPerp, nor the tech guy from Metro South walking beside Robocop, who, as impossible as it seemed, was limping. Then Jimmy noticed her. "Mom!"

Embracing her son after all the terror of seeing him kidnapped, she stared at the metal man. "What happened?"

"Robocop saved me and got dropped by a wrecking ball," Jimmy told her.

A wrecking ball?!

The shock must have shown on her face, because he laughed. "Don't worry, Mom. He'll be fine. He's Robocop!"
