《Doctor Who : The Emerging Robots》The Robots
Advertisement
Approaching the truck to get changed into his original attire per say, the Doctor was anxious as to why time had frozen. Something was clearly wrong if he could move but nothing else could. The pink rainbow shirt was in a heap on the sand ridden floor next to the white coat. He loved these clothes but knew not all galaxies and universes would appreciate how a man was dressed in an odd style related to that of a woman. He kicked the coat in an act of frustration in which he forgot it was indeed frozen. The pain began to kick in almost instantly as he hopped vigorously. The boots he never took off were removed so he could bend his toes back into place. Out of nowhere, he let out a death-defying screech.
"Holy Mary Mother of Alpha Centauri, the place around me is froz-, oh wait we've done that part. It's now the time when I somehow realise what exactly is going on. But what is going on ? And who is controlling this if it is being controlled ?" There was no response. "Yep, thanks Graham." He reminisce about the old times with his old companions and Graham's often sarcastic tone of voice when the Doctor was either acting strange or stupid. "Ah dear. Oh hold on, what in the red name of Mars is that ?" A ship began lowering down towards where the Doctor's feet were placed. It was somewhat identical to the craft targeting the defenceless man as he dangled from the TARDIS' phone line. The green smoke that sprayed out at the bottom sides suffocated the Doctor as he made no attempt to run from the unknown. It landed with no noise but a soft shut off sound signalling the Doctor that the pilots of this ship had departed the cockpit. His face dropped as he gulped in what seemed to be fear or anticipation. Then the door opened...

"We want the Doctor and the Doctor only. Time crash to be set to activate in 30 Earth minutes. Do not move. You will be shot on sight. Stay exactly where you stand."
He was to obey what the voice said. "I would like to see who I am being instructed to do these orders by."
"Stay where you are. You will be shot on sight."
"I would like to address my adversary by staring them in the face. Please step forward."
That statement was enough to emerge some movement as two left metal feet came out of the blinding white light. What looked like two large metal men holding rifles of some sort engaged into attack mode. The end of the guns were pressed firmly against the confused man's head as he raised his hands above his head in order to surrender.
"Before you do try and kill me, can I please get an exclusive tour of your ship? I've always wanted to see inside a spaceship."
"Silence."
"Wait. Are you alien ? You're alien aren't you ?"
"If you we let you onboard, will you shut up ?"
"Almost instantly, you have my word."
"Then we shall begin."
"Before I go inside, can I ask who are you ?"
"And what relevance is it to you ?"
"Well you've already let me onboard your ship so what else is there to reveal but who you are."
"We are Sedranstak. We are intergalactic bounty hunters. Our goal is to capture as many time ships as possible so we can sell them off on our galaxy's marketplace. We capture ships by freezing time, permanently if we have to and your ship is the best find we've had so far. In our gratefulness we thank you."
"Believe me, it was an accident."

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.
