《Doctor Who : The Emerging Robots》The Cryogenic Freezing Chamber
Advertisement
"So what does Earth have that's so amazing to take away for selling?"
"I thought you agreed to be quiet if we let you onboard."
"Oh no, just an excuse to get on really. What's in this room here?" The Doctor slowly began wandering towards a sliding door which opened as soon as he approached it. The room was black. Nothing could be seen. "After you, good sirs."
"I beg your pardon?" The Sedranstak raised the arms to their waists and took aim at the Doctor. He took a step back and gulped before answering.
"I said after you good sirs."
"We are not 'sirs'. Address us formally and properly."
"Sorry, after you good gender neutral robots."
"That is better. When we were made, we had no specified gender assigned to us. Do not make that same mistake again or you will suffer greatly." The guns were lowered and they allowed the Doctor to enter. The lights flickered before brightening the previously pitch black area. It wasn't something the Time Lord was expecting.
"So erm.... what... is this... room ?" He began stuttering as if he saw nothing like it before. There were people from different time periods on Earth frozen in cryogenic freezing chambers. Three layers of chambers laying horizontally gazed at the Doctor to show his astonishment. He rarely saw sights like this. In his eyes it was a lucky find.
"Here is the-"
"Oh, believe me, when you watch all 11 seasons of the X-Files, you pick up a thing or two about Sci-Fi on Earth. I can't believe it. You could make a few bob if you flog all these to some dodgy sorts." At this point, it could be considered he was grinning for Gallifrey.
"All our chambers have to be active in freeze mode for at least 30 minutes before the effect can be put in place. We have all 60 in use."

"No you don't, there's one open and empty here." A heavy panting could be heard from behind the row of chambers. Sprouts of brown hair could be seen bounce to the breaths took.
"A security breach has been detected within the room. Engaging to Attack Mode Level 2" The robots held their guns as a red laser point was aimed straight towards the head of this clueless man.
"Thanks a lot mate. One chance of escaping and you go and ruin it by getting me killed."
"It was unintentional. Believe me. Sedranstak I am begging you please. You don't have to mindlessly kill this poor man who you have clearly abducted. He's innocent. Leave him."
"He deactivated one of us. There was originally three of us but this imbecile took off its head and smashed it in with a sledgehammer."
"Oh, fair enough. Do what you want. I won't stop you." The Doctor was clearly developing a different personality compared to his past selfs, allowing someone to die by a species unknown to Earth. The guns were charged and the robots took a stance.
"Heat Seeker, Activate." One of the robots enabled a mode which didn't appear to do anything different until it fired. The bullet had a bright yellow glow to its exterior as it zoomed into the mouth of this unfortunate man. It made his face go red as his cheek ripped a small hole from the tip of the bullet. He fell forward against the chamber door he was previously shielded by, slumping down into a heap on the floor near the Doctor's feet. He had felt so much worse before but now, guilt ran through his veins. He had just let this man die for simply wanting his freedom. He was not known for this. Killing was a last resort in his eyes and he did nothing to prevent it.

"Come on, help dispose of the body."
"I refuse to." He turned his back on the robots and began walking towards the door. It suddenly without anyone touching anything slid shut with considerable force.
"You will not be going anywhere."
"Oh dear, this is the part where I'm knocked out and put inside the chamber isn't it ?"
"Indeed it is." With that statement, one of the two activated a stun gun mode which consisted of a rounded rubber bullet which had a piece of technology which caused a reflex when hit. The bullet shot across and hit the Doctor in the chest which sent him flying backwards towards the wall, smacking his head on the back of it.
He was knocked out....

The New Zeitgeist
Awana was the ruler of the sky, the God of clouds and weather before almost all of his power and divinity were stripped away and his body forced into an unending slumber. It was not until millenniums later when a tribe of elves who worshipped him in the ancient past awoke him. He was awakened into a new era where ten gods who also stripped away the divinity from other gods like him abuse their powers. They ruled the world with tyranny; only keeping some kingdoms and mortals who worship them safe while marginalizing others. As it turned out, Awana still has a sliver of his previous powers. Now filled with thoughts of anger and revenge, he plans to create a kingdom of heretics cast away by the gods, revive other fallen gods like him to join forces, and finally kill all of the ruling gods. Kingdom Building (a Floating kingdom in the skies and a diverse population) Author's Note: Grammar might be messy. Yes, I am a non-native speaker but I'm not trying to use that as an excuse. I am going to try to improve. Also, I am currently in University so there are times where I might be gone for an extended period of time and other times where I am quite free and able to write chapters.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
