A nice box of chocalate, a bottle of brandy and a few flowers were delivered to Squishy, along with a note that read:“You forget that Xev was able to control her brain-eating tendancys in ‘Heaven and Hell’. Besides, my lusticon is much more sophisticated than Zev’s, I can control which clusterlizard genes I get. I have no urge to eat brains -Hypatia”
With Squishy off the planet, Hypatia re-instated funding for SETI, tripled NASA’s budget, and funded other science programs with the money she had saved by reforming govermental spending. Riding on a wave of monumental popularity, Hypatia neared the end of her second term.
But who would follow her?
And there was that monster to deal with.
Then Hypatia remembered that man who had claimed to be a time traveler who had been exiled to earth for interfering with the cycle of time. Perhaps he could help…..
(Welcome to the asylum, DT!)
Whilst touring his facilities on Triton, Squishy was presented with a box of chocolates, some poison ivy and a bottle of cheap plonk, he quickly devoured them and ate the note, forgetting to read it first.
The Robo-Lizards were nearing completion, these were no ordinary cluster lizards, they had been genetically altered to increase their size and intelligence.
The beasts stood 80ft tall, brimming with all the latest military hardware and were a fearsome sight, yet they were not ready for deployment.
Squishy, satisfied that his team of cybernetic and geneticists would have the Robo-Lizards completed within the next week, took his shuttle back to earth.
Upon arrival, he was greeted by some distressing news, a new nemesis had appeared, one that struck fear in both Squishy and Hypatia.
Not many had witnessed the arrival of the new threat and lived to tell of it, except for one old man…Squishy decided to learn all he could from the old man.
‘What did you see old man’ asked Squishy.
‘Gojira’ replied the old man.
‘No you didn’t’ Squishy snapped.
‘Ummm, ok, it was actually a hybrid’ said the old man fearfully.
Squishy remembered reading about a prophecy that claimed a great evil shall fall upon the earth, and that it was borne from mans mistakes, an abhorrence to nature, it sucked the essence from living creatures to sustain itself.
‘Did it call itself anything?’ inquired Squishy.
The old man paused while trying to recollect the horror he had barely escaped from, before replying ‘Yes, it had some sort of scribble on it…I think it said DalekTek 790’.
Squishy’s worst fears had been confirmed, the prophecy was true and now mankind faced it’s greatest ever threat.
It was now obvious that Squishy and Hypatia, being the worlds most powerful leaders, would have to put aside their differences to combat this new foe.
Squishy immediately contacted Hypatia, although it was not easy, as she had gone into hiding, however, Squishy did manage to speak to one of her aides.
The aide informed Squishy that she had undertaken a journey to find a man of the future, who may have knowledge of the DalekTek 790 and perhaps had the solution to dealing with this menace.
Squishy decided to do the same, time was against them both, as reports flooded in from around the world of attacks from this insidious creature.
At this time there was no defence, the world seemed doomed, the man of the future must be found or mankind faced extinction…
