Escalation

* Romana is on patrol*

Romana (thought): My first non-supervised patrol. Got to show I can be trusted.

*a nearby store alarm blares*

*Romana smiles*

Romana (thought): Time to do some stealthy investigating, free from needless quipping.

*she reaches the shop*

*Romana scans*

Romana (thought): Emergency exit on the roof

*as she drops in she sees the inside of the store warped*

* Romana tries to scan but the signal goes*

Romana (thought): This is strange....I didn't detect any bossbots or warp entities before...

*the thieves fire a blaster

*Romana becomes stuck to some wood*

Romana (thought): Feels like I'm magnetised to...wood?

Goons: now give us all the cash

*Romana strains, struggling to break free*

*the goons notice her*

Goon 2: hey its one of them hero types

*Romana scowls, struggling to operate her arm mounted crossbow*

Goon 3: oh no ya dont girly *blasts her, turning her purple before her arms swell up, the crossbow snapping off*

*Romana looks horrified*

Romana (thought): Impossible!

Romana: i'm a purple gorilla!

*The goons laugh*

*they escape with the money*

*Romana looks baffled*

Romana (thought): They were just ordinary criminals. How could they have warp technology?

Romana: gotta get help

*Romana sighs*

Romana (thought): Aunty V is my only option in this form.

Romana: *struggles to focus*

*Romana groans*

Romana (thought): Brain...not...work...

*her cellphone rings*

*Romana struggles to take the call*

Romana (thought): Stupid...gorilla...hands!
