She had thrown Charlie a smile as she approached. He was a likable man, plump and kind if a bit quiet. Robin thought that if anyone could have fixed the glitch it would have been Charlie, but she guessed he needed a set of fresh eyes to take a look. As she examined the machinery, she finally found what was wrong. There were... extra parts. Orbs that seemed much too advanced for the type of equipment used on this ride. And wires... They twisted around each other like snakes, almost seeming alive...<br/><br/>Robin looked at Charlie quizzically and had opened her mouth to ask a question when the older man spoke.<em>Sorry?</em>she thought in puzzlement, moments before he seemed to explode. Instinctively, Robin leapt backward with a shout as the jets of fire shot from his body. As the electricity hit the machinery, it jolted to life, and... There were things reaching toward her. Impossible things.<br/><br/>Her mouth fell open as the wires stretched menacingly in her direction. Her feet carried her slowly backward, and her mind was whirring and trying to figure out what to do. Noticing a piece of metal pipe lying against the wall to her right, she picked it up and brandished it at her pursuer.<br/><br/>"Back!" she yelled, feeling absurd. She was yelling at wires, for God's sake. The thing took no heed and instead continued its advance, quickening the pace. Robin whipped her pipe at it and landed a solid smack, and the wires retreated, almost seeming to emit some kind of squeal.<br/><br/>"Help!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. "Someone please, help!"
