There was a collective electronic scream as the Starbug tipped backwards, was
caught by a collapsing series of girders and shot backwards through the
slowly-compacting mass of the Dwarf like a giant pinball on a particularly
brutal pinball table. As it was smashed from side to side, the robots (and half
bot) were sent flying from one wall to the other, to the ceiling, back to the
second wall and finally into a muddled heap in the middle of the floor as the
Starbug was richocheted into open space, spinning wildly.
"See? We made it," said Elwood, then fell silent under even colder glares
from the others.
"I am SO lucky that he used reinforced glass for my containment jar," muttered
the Keto Brain Bot, trying to roll backwards but succeeding only in spinning his
tracks, "Uh, could one of you kind people please right me?"
"Allow me," said WD-40's head from across the room, and the KBB was hauled
upright by the disembodied right-hand side of the robot's torso.
"So now we're spinning out of control away from a giant crushed pair of
spaceships," observed Timmy, "Who's up for poker?"
