Our story so far
Highly abstracted spoilers up to episode 86
(Grizzop) Right. So basically, as far as I understand it, they started off in London, right, and there was a robot. And then it got blown up and the bits of got nicked, but the problem is, the robot could make more of itself, so that means infinite robots which obviously is quite bad. So infinite robots doing infinite things.
And then they went to underneath London, and then that chap got ‘em and did some stuff and there was a ring. I dunno, they didn’t tell me that bit, really. And then they left, right, and then they tried to go to Paris, but first they had to get in a little tiny boat, and then they almost drowned, and then they had a car chase and they almost died… And then when they get to Paris, they got stolen by a ceiling monster who was made of brains that they’d nicked? And then they killed ‘im, but actually they didn’t, but then they did. And then 'cause they killed the ceiling monster, all the banks fell over.
Oh yeah, that was them. Yeah. Turns out the ceiling monster was secretly running everything. Didn’t know. But the ceiling monster wanted to build more of itself, so they stole the robot, they stole the plans for the robot, so if somebody builds the robot, then once the robot is built, then the robot can build more of the robot. Then you’ve got a problem because that means lots of robots. But this other robot, the ceiling robot, wanted to build more of itself but it’s made out of brains, not robots. But then it wanted to make itself using more brains, and it wanted to build itself under Cairo, so, but it didn’t? Or maybe it did. I dunno, but the banks still fell over, so I assume it didn’t. And then they came to Prague. And then Franz Kafka, who's a professor of necromancy at the University of Prague, wants to create a plague of zombies. I don’t think that’s related to the robots, but it was just bad. And I was supposed to be chasing after Franz Kafka, bumped into them when zombies attacked, and the rest, as they say, is his-- You don’t know that.
Right, so then we chased down Franz Kafka to the opera where Hamid’s sister was singing, and Franz Kafka cast a spell to scare everybody. And then we were trying to stop it in the basement with some big zombies, and then he picked up Hamid’s sister and Bertie, and strangled them both and threw her against a wall and then Bertie died. Yeah, 'cause Hamid turned into like a weird animal thing. Like a little lizard boy. I had to go and catch him, he was hiding on a roof. But I shouldn’t really be… it’s not the time for levity 'cause, well, he was a lizard boy. But then we went back to the, um, the, the, the, the university and then the Mars lot got involved. You know about the Mar-- you know. And then someone shouted at me in a room for ages but they were rubbish at it.
Then we went into Isaac Newton’s office and we walked across his floor for three days and we found his second office, which was really small.
And then we went and found this horrible woman. She was awful as well, but she helped build the power source I think for the ceiling robot? I didn’t really catch that bit. But we met this very strange German guy, I think, called Einstein, who's really good at teleportation, and he agreed to teleport us out to Cairo, and then he teleported us to Cairo, which is where you found us. So, and now, as they say, the rest is tonight.
(Bryn) Well when you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous.
(Grizzop) Anyway, that's the story so far.
