Robo Squirrel flew quickly through the corridors of The Facility, quickly beeping to himself. Following their voices with his hyper sensitive Robo-Hearing that I just decided he had, he was on the trail of Phil, Mxy and Grissom.

And he was getting close.

"How long as he been down there?" Phil asked, standing nervously behind Grissom.

"About five minutes, forty-seven seconds," Grissom replied.

"Oh."

There followed a moment of silence.

"You think he's okay?"

Grissom glared over his shoulder. "I'm sure he's fine." Grissom's eyes darted upwards. "Where's Mxy?"

Phil looked around. He looked around.

"He's... not here," He finally answered.

"Find him, will you?"

Phil walked back down the hallway, on the lookout for a Mxy. He found him about thirty metres away.

Mxy was floating a few feet above them, against the ceiling. He appeared to be concentrating intently.

"Mxy! What are you doing?" Phil asked.

"Reading the log!"

"What log?"

"Of every time a ship arrives or departs! NOW SHUT UP PHIL, I'M READING!"

Mxy closed his eyes. Nothing was in his hands, but he was getting the information from somewhere.

Phil sighed. "And... Mxy... when was the last time a ship left here?"

"About twenty minutes before we arrived. NOW SSSHHHH! This is a library, not an action-adventure story!"

A loud beep suddenly sounded from the hallway, and seemed to be getting closer.

"Oh, you're kidding me..." Phil said.

Robo Squirrel appeared before them, playing a quiet little trumpet fanfare as he did so.

"What?" Phil snapped.

"Robo Squirrel is here to warn you!"

"Of what?"

"This building is going to explode! BOOM! KABLOOEY! There is a bomb! Vanguard must evacuate!"

"How can we trust you?"

"Ask Brianna! Beep!"

Phil thought out to Brianna.

We think he's right, Phil.

Really? Damn.

Better safe than exploded, right?

Right.

Phil looked up at Robo Squirrel. "Grissom and Danny are still in there!"

"Robo Squirrel will warn them! You go!"

Phil looked back down the hallway. "Fine."

He started to run, Mxy floating along behind him. Robo Squirrel flew the other way, further into the building.

Grissom stood silently at the edge of the flooded stairwell. He only moved when he heard Robo Squirrel appear behind him and beep.

"Grissom Montag! Robo Squirrel must warn yo-"

Robo Squirrel was cut off when Grissom waved his hand and teleported the robotic rodent outside.

Brianna noticed Robo Squirrel appear in the air next to her.

"Well?!" Brianna asked, demanding a response.

"Robo Squirrel managed to warn Phil and Mxy."

"What about Grissom?!"

Grissom Montag was still standing by the stairwell when Phil's voice appeared in his head.

Did Robo Squirrel find you?

Yeah. I sent him away.

So... you don't know about the bomb?

What bomb?

Shit.

Phil was outside the Facility, walking towards the others. He was weighing up whether or not going back inside was too much of a risk.

Brianna was yelling.

"WHAT?!"

"Grissom Montag teleported Robo Squirrel away before Robo Squirrel could warn him."

"So Grissom is still in there?!"

"As is Danny Hearn."

"WHAT?!"

The whole Facility shook as a huge blast sounded from inside the building, sending shattered glass and pieces of steel everywhere.

Robo Squirrel was thrown backwards through the air by the force of Brianna's scream.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
