Ooooh my boys , screamed the tripod as it watched its all male children running through the open door of his domicile and into the woods surrounding their property. Its two massive legs crashed through the apartment complex in search of cooked dinners. Its snorting tendrils sucked up the numerous roast dinners on offer. "Oi get lost, thats my dinner" The Tripod now perfectly sated, well fed was now ready to join its offspring in the woods. The chicken hunt could now begin. He watched his children chase each chicken under bow and branch and into the wide open fields that led inexorably to the launch tower. "There we are my boys - launch complex number 8 - its what its all for. Now catch me a chicken and we will go back for some more roast dinners.". The tripod whos name was EM12 watched the launch site with avid interest.
On launchpad 8 several working tripods gathered about the spaceship. It was being fueled and made ready for its gravity slingshot around saturn and out into the void space between worlds. Its graviton drive would then kick in and throw its occupants into a parallel universe. A universe in which people had two legs instead of the usual three.
EM12 had been chosen for the launch.
They arrived at the apartment. Traps at the ready. He was watching from the windows they didn't waste time. Chased him all over the place. Roast dinners went flying through the air. His children all tried to distract the team of trappers.
"Its too late EM or should we say freddy gringer. We are sending you home."
EM12 peered around an open door way into a hall way - it seemed quiet. Nobody except a muffled chuckle and a giant half opened box with a roast dinner half inside.
"Thats mine", thought EM12.
Crash the trap was sprung and EM12 was on his way to launch pad 8.
"Nooo let me go I am not ready"
Freddy gringer suddenly woke up and looked around feeling disorientated. He felt somehow out of place - lost in the wrong place. He looked out his flats window and watched his dogs running around the garden. But something just didn't sit right.
