Escape from Robotropolis

"Nicole, activate laser."

A tiny ray of light emerged from Sally's palmtop computer, frying the lock on her cell. Only an hour ago, she had been captured while she and her Freedom Fighters were escaping another bomb run on Robotnik's factories. Before she could join the others, a SWATbot had zapped her with a stun beam, and a shield had been placed around the city. No one could get in.

Sonic wouldn't be rescuing her this time. She had to rely on herself now.

Taking a quick glance towards the SWATbot guarding her cell, she breathed a sigh of relief that it hadn't noticed the lock being shot out. Putting on a sly face, Sally hid her computer and folded her arms. "So, tall, dark, and mechanical...what's gonna happen to me now?"

"You-will-be-held-until-0900-hours. Then-you-will-be-taken-to-Lord-Robotnik-for-robotization."

Sally winced slightly. That was two hours from now. If she didn't find a way to escape soon, she'd be turned into a lifeless android. But if she opened her cell door now, the SWATbot would only stun her again, reducing her chances of escape dramatically.
