MISSING:... ONE DROID

Rusty has been seperated from his companions; he is a rather young droid whose manufacture date was not that long ago and he is more than a bit impetuous.

He likes to explore!!

So when he stuck one of his manipulators into a topo-dimensional converter and promply disappeared the central co-ordination computer was not surprised... Oh well another day another droid and logged Rusty in his memory banks as "faulty destroyed". This was, of course, much easier than a report detailing his sudden disappearance from centrals' tracking circuits.

But Rusty was not destroyed...or not yet anyway!! He has found himself in a void alone and assailed by surreal enemies whose only intent is his destruction.

His only chance is to make a run for it!! What little he does know about dimensional converters (and its not a lot) tells him that in a construct universe such as this if he keeps on the move and iighting this should stress the construct enough to ensure that reality inertia will flip him out of the construct and back to the real world at his point of entry.

How long will it take?

A long long time........
