[Near the Nile River, Egypt, 1800 BCE]
A wormhole opens up and a giant mechanical chrome squid slides out.
ERROR.. TIME NAVIGATION CIRCUITS.. DAMAGED..
It begins to run an internal repair program, not seemingly to notice the blue spandexed hitchhiker on his back.

The morphed Drench hung on for dear life, oblivious to where he had landed.

The squidriod, realizing it's not alone, flails around trying to throw Drench from its back.
Meanwhile, not too far off, a second wormhole opened up and the ship of the Time Preservation Department filed out. It's hull gleaming with the blinding light of the young desert sun.
The crew drawn there not by Drench's sudden appearance, but the presence of Miranda's Changer somewhere in that vast wasteland.

Drench was a little too busy struggling against metal tentacles to notice the appearance of the ship.

The squidriod cried out before attempting to once again pull Drench from its back and hurl him away from it.

That time, Drench was caught and thrown away, right onto the ground.

The squidroid loomed over him, its tentacles glowing with red sparky energy.

Drench stood up, his head throbbing from the impact and his vision blurred.

A blast od lightning shot out, striking the squid while it was distracted.

The lightning struck the squidriod right in its side, causing it to implode within before crashing to the river's shore, half-way destroyed, but seemingly no longer a threat.

Malcolm walked forward, his cybernetic hand glowing and smoking from the blast he fired. "Damn, I'm gonna have to let that recharge..." he said, staring at it.

"Chief!" Drench turned to face his superior and demorphed.

The squidroid hissed, attempting to raise its tentacle, but to no avail as it crashed back into the sand.

Malcolm smiled, walking over and hugging Drench. "How've you been?"

"Thoroughly aggravated, sir." Drench said, barely concealing a grin as he returned the hug. "But much better now that I'm seeing someone from my own time."
