Robot Invasion

Two professors try to fight off a robot invasion. Will they be able to defeat the robots?

“Can you elaborate on what you mean?” Professor Stan asks.

“Indeed," Professor Greg agrees. "What I mean is that AI is taking over the world. Doctors, lawyers, and even professors like us are being replaced by androids.”

“What do we do?”

“We take a stand!”

“I’m with you.”

Professors Greg and Stan grab the equipment they need from Stan's car and rush out of the campus grounds. They make sure they had everything. Mines? Check. Tripwires? Check? Water guns? Check.

As they enter the streets, they witness the robots roaming the area.

The two sneak around and prepare their weapons.

Stan tries to use the weapons, but it’s too late. The robot zaps him and now he’s transformed into a robot.

Greg stands back as his colleague's green eyes turn into red ones.

The robots surround him. Greg was left with just a water gun.

As the robots close in on him, he pulls the trigger and shoots. One by one, the robots fall, including Stan.

Greg can't help but sob. Stan was one of his best colleagues and-

Wait. The robots are getting up. But before Greg could lift up his water gun, the robots turned back into humans.
