Drabble meme - Intrusion

For [livejournal.com profile] pedanther who asked for Captain Yates, Captain Magambo & robots. That's a lot to get into a drabble, so the robot appears only fleetingly, but here goes:


***

Intrusion

*

Captain Magambo walked into the other room, in what had once been HQ and was now a training centre, stopping as she found a stranger in a dated uniform. “Who are you?”

“Nobody, Captain – don’t worry, I’ll be gone soon. The Doctor said something like this might happen.” He didn’t sound threatening; more apologetic, but he stared behind her oddly.

“The Doctor?”

“Oh, and duck!” he added.

Behind her, an unlikely robot lumbered in. She dived out of the way. When she lifted her head, they’d both vanished.

She never reported the incident. It didn’t seem a good career move.

*giggles* Poor Captain Magambo! That must have been an especially weird day!

I would classify robots and Captains from the past popping in for a few minutes as extra-weird, personally!

Heh.

Thank you for your valiant effort at what was, admittedly, a pretty random prompt.

(Suddenly, I wish I had an "unlikely robot" icon.)

An unlikely robot! This drabble has an unlikely robot! Squee :)

(or in a more sane way of putting it, this was absolutely adorable :) )

I loved this! Makes me want to see the rest of the scene back at UNIT now.
