AN: Hi guys! So this chapter is pretty short, but important things happen, so it's okay. I haven't wrote anymore chapters in almost a month, but I have a bunch of others that I can post. I will finish this story, I promise! At the moment, I'm watching the last episode of season 2 so I can work from there on what's going to happen after.

Hicks and Nina had been prowling the walls for a door or a hallway for what seemed like forever. "We must have been in here for at least two hours!" Nina said to Hicks. He pressed the button on his digital watch to light it up.

"Uh, yeah almost two hours. We should head one way or the other to get out. Too bad we didn't get any information on what's in this warehouse. I hope the other groups got somewhere." Hicks replied. "Let's just go in this direction," He said, referring to the way they were facing. Little did they know that this was a different hallway from the one they had come from...

"What is it, Bill? What are you seeing?" Rachel asked Bill, who had his head through the crack of the door. He pulled his head back out.

"There's these...I don't know, big robot things! They're pulling wires out of these little plastic box things and putting different wires in them." Bill reported.

"What kind of robot things? What do the plastic boxes look like?" Rachel asked.

"See for yourself!" Bill replied, holding the door open a bit for Rachel. She stuck her head in.

Bill was right! There were humanoid robots working with small plastic boxes. Rachel figured they were photic stimulators, and that was what had been shipped. But those robots...there was something very sinister about them, as well as an otherworldly feeling. Rachel shuddered. "Oh, those things freak me out!" Rachel said to Bill, after closing the door.

Bill nodded. "Do you think it would be possible to get one of those little boxes for Doctor Rosen or the Doctor to look at?"

Rachel thought for a moment. "Probably...there's a conveyor belt with the photic stimulators near the door. We would need to distract the robots though."

Bill took his gun out of the holster. "Would this work?"

Moments later, after formulating a plan, Rachel was standing halfway in and halfway out of the hallway, preparing to run. Bill stuck his arm through the crack above Rachel's head and fired the gun. An almighty BANG rang out in the huge warehouse. None of the robots jumped at the sound, but they all turned around at once to face the source of the noise.

Rachel ran to her left where the conveyor belt was located. She scooped up three photic stimulators and dashed back to the door. The robots had all raised one of their arms and put the other folded into their body, with one hand balled up on their chest.

"DELETE!" The robots chorused in a monotonous unison. Rachel slipped through the door and shivered. That had been close.

One of the robots stuck their hand through the cracked door. Rachel shrieked. In one swift movement, Bill grabbed his gun and shot the hand, which clattered to the floor. Rachel slammed the door closed. She and Bill were both panting.

"I got three," Rachel told Bill. "I think one of them still has the original wiring in it. The others have the wires replaced. Thanks by the way, for shooting that robot."

Bill scooped up the metal hand. "No problem. Now we've gotta get out of here. Security might be on our tail any minute, and we don't have a lot of time left to meet Dr. Rosen and the other in the front."

The pair started walking to the right, one carrying three little boxes, the other holding a metal hand.

"Hicks, I don't think we're in the same hallway we were in before." Nina said nervously. She and Hicks had been walking for about ten minutes, and Nina couldn't shake the feeling that it was getting brighter.

"I don't think so, either. It was so dark before, but it's lightening up." Hicks said. He looked behind them. "Yeah, it's definitely getting brighter in here. How'd we end up in a new hallway?"

"I don't know. There's something...wrong with this warehouse. We came in at opposite sides of the building, but we managed to meet up. I know I walked far, but not to that extent. And it there definitely should be some more doors, or some way to get into the main warehouse. It feels like...no one is actually here." Nina said. She really wanted to leave Central Warehouse 11. It was freaking her out.

Hicks couldn't agree more with Nina. "Exactly! This warehouse just seems...dead." He squinted in front of him. The hallway was getting much brighter, but all he could see was more and more hallway. The walls of this one were stark white, with no signs of splattered paint or dripping water to be seen.

"This hallway feels so artificial! Like, it's not real..." Nina commented.

A black-haired woman and a man with a buzz cut were lying unconscious on white hospital beds. Humanoid robots wearing white aprons were hovering over them, some holding trays of needles that others were injecting into the two people. The woman twitched and moaned when the colorful liquids were administered. A robot held up a two syringes full of a bilious liquid. It handed one to a robot next to the woman and the other to a robot next to the man. The man and woman were injected at the same time. Twin screams echoed throughout the room.

AN: Oooh! Cliffhanger! Also, it was pointed out to me by my sister that a gunshot wouldn't actually take out a Cyberman's hand, but this is a story, and I say it would happen. Just in case you were wondering. Also, bilious means green or a similar color to the bile in our stomachs, FYI.
