It was some sort of small sphere, made out of dully shining metal, with a small appendage coming out of it. The strange digit gripped the ground and then retracted, dragging the sphere forward with it. It kept crawling, heading towards him. He didn't know what to do. As it progressed he saw another come from out of a distant hall. He looked back to the first one. It continued on its path, but suddenly stopped when it was about a meter away. There was a high frequency screech, and then the sphere split in two. There was a big red eye-like lens in the center. The one down the hallway followed suit. And then they attacked.
There was a soft kind of puff and then he reeled backwards, yelling. He felt at his neck, and there was a small dart embedded near the base. He screamed again as the second fired at him, nailing him in the chest. He stepped back around the corner and ran.
There was a room that he knew how to get to. It had a large array of items he might be able to use to destroy whatever those… things were. He turned the corner and fell down in agony. There were two more of the spheres down the hall, and that meant two more darts in his flesh. He shoved himself up and kept going. As he rushed at the spheres he grabbed a small tray that was lying in the doorway of a room. As another dart came whistling at him he smacked it aside and threw the tray. It bowled one of the spheres over, and slid under the second. As he flew by, he stepped on the edge of the tray, sending the little ball through the air. He rounded the next corner and ducked into the first doorway, slamming the door closed. Sweating, he pulled the darts out of his skin, then looked up.
The room was gigantic, full of all sorts of parts and tools. There were saw and drills and welders. And there was a ton of metal. Somewhere inside himself he knew he could use this stuff. Knew how to use this stuff. He stood up and smiled. It was time to make some toys.
Hunter watched the screens carefully, a smile painted over his face. "He's found the Garage," he whispered to himself.
