( The scene opens in darkness, and a loud clank as a unseen object falls on the floor. There is the sound of a screwdriver as nails are retightened, and the voices of Kim, Ron, who has just entered the house, and Dr. Possible.)
Dr. Possible
Almost got it..
Ron
Hi, Kim. I was wondering if you'd like to go to Bueno Nach-and what is that?
Kim
It's a robot, Ron.
Ron
I know that, but what is it doing here in your kitchen?
Mrs. Possible
It came in and started to attack Kim for no reason. Kimmie disabled it in time.
Ron.
Whew! I sure wouldn't want him coming after Rufus. My pal wouldn't stand a chance against his X-ray vision.
Kim
( picking up the chip and putting it in her pocket.) Ron, how do we even know he has x-ray vision? And just why would he go after Rufus anyway? His brain doesn't contain any information about secret weapons, invisible satellites, or mad scientists. That doesn't make sense, Ron, and you know it.( As she talks, Rufus crawls out on Ron's shoulder, looks at Kim, and smiles like Drakken. Dr. Possible twists T.O.M.'s head back onto his body and stands nearby for the results )
Ron
( Impressed) Good one, buddy!( He is about to whisper something into Rufus's ear when Kim rises from the floor, turns around, and looks at her sidekick, frowning at his joke.)
Kim
Ron!( changing the subject.) Hmm.. What kind of computer chip is this exactly?( Kim hands it over to her father, who peers at it, noting its shape, which resembles a very acute triangle.)
Dr. Possible
Hard to say exactly, Kimmie, but I'm going to guess that whoever used this, designed it to scramble this machine's CPU so it could be under that individual's control.
Kim
So that means we might not find out what it was doing here?( In front of them, T.O.M. starts to move his head, looking left and right through its glowing eye lenses.)
Mrs. Possible
Kim? I think it heard you.( The robot's gaze stops at Kim for a moment.).
T.O.M.
Reboot complete. T.O.M. 2003 now operating.( It looks at Kim again, a puzzled look on its face.) Odd. This is most unusual, but I seem to recognize this female
Kim.
It's Kim Possible.
T.O.M.
. ( Slowly.) K-im Pos-si-ble. Memory scan!( T.O.M's eyes pulse in unison, glowing brighter and brighter until the light covers the entire kitchen with a red hue. Everyone else is shielding their eyes from the glare when the glow fades and T.O.M. looks once again at Kim; To everyone's surprise, Ron runs over to his backpack, opens it, taking out two photos, both showing Kim,runs back to the kitchen, and presents them to the robot.)
Ron
( Like a eye doctor.)Which looks familiar, Number 1? or Number Two?( T.O.M. looks indifferently at the first, which shows Kim in her normal outfit with blue jeans and green t-shirt, and looks at Kim after the second photo, which shows Kim in her mission gear.) That's it! You thought she was the girl from Number Two? Well., she's both.
T.O.M.
That is impossible. The image in my memory does not match the first photograph, only the second.
Dr. Possible
Umm.. It appears that whoever commanded you for this mission showed you a picture of Kimmie when she goes off to save the world from evil robots.
T.O.M.
Evil? I am a security robot, programmed to protect the confines of Fort Protection from any and all threats.
Kim.
( taking out her Kimmunicator) Time to clear something up here.( After a few seconds, Wade is seen on the screen, feeding some snarling plants.) Wade?
Wade
Excuse me, guys.( turning to his computer screen) What's up, Kim?
Kim
Do you know anything about a Fort Protection?
Wade
Fort Protection? Let me check!( Moves to his computer, turning his back to Kim as he searches for the name. From over his shoulder, we are able to see that Wade has found some results.) It does exist, and it's located near San Francisco, CA.
Kim
Thanks, Wade. Tom, do you think you could scan your memory once again? You might have some more details about your mission.
T.O.M.
Mission?
Kim
The mission that brought you here?
T.O.M.
I'll try, but I don't fully know my capablities. Begin Memory scan!( T.O.M's eyes begin to glow as before, his metallic face bearing no expression whatsoever. Kim and the others shield their eyes as the pulse increases. Suddenly, a slot opens in T.O.M's chest, revealing a small camera, with a very familiar hologram projected from its beam, .) Unknown image found. View for identification.
Kim
Dr. Drakken! That explains it then. You couldn't recognize me at first because as Ron demonstrated earlier, you only scanned the image from the second photo.( Activating her Kimmunicator.) Wade, have there been any strange events in the news this week?( Wade goes online to a unknown newspaper website.)
Wade
Nothing in the business, entertainment section likewise, and-wait, Kim!
Kim
What, Wade.
Wade
NATION/WORLD: Old Movie Studio soundstage occupied by ghosts! " It seems that Moonbeam Studios refuses to die. The defunct independent film studio, which was closed due to a lack of funding, appears to have some new guests. A guard reported that he has seen lights coming from Stage 45, the only soundstage that was ever completed in the studio's four year period. What do you think about that, Kim?
Kim
It can't be conscience. Wade, can you get us some transportation.
T.O.M.
That will not be necessary. I will take you.( He walks over to the door and opens it, stepping outside where he reactivates his foot jets.) Come!
Ron
I hope I don't get airsick.
Kim
( running out.) Come on, Ron!
Ron
( looking at T.O.M. once again.) White clouds, blue skies. White clouds, blue skies..( Rufus repeats the exact words, but at a slightly faster pace as Ron is also picked up by T.O.M.)
T.O.M.
( Over his shoulder) Goodbye, Mr and Mrs. Possible! I'll keep a good eye on them!
Mrs. Possible
Kimmie, be sure to call if you're going to be late!
Kim
Ok, Mom!
To be continued…
