Probability of target residing in this environment: 0.002%
This was, however, where his employers had told him the target would be. He had followed the directions down to the exact spatial coordinate. EKDS5k, however, was standing in what was decidedly not an environment in which a scientist, even one with heavy guard, would be hiding out in. Currently it was a firestorm, and his scanners indicated that it was for several hundred miles. Clouds of small burning meteors occasionally pelted his force fields.
Primary force field at 64% and falling.
Estimate that there is a 13% probability dimensional coordinates are in error. Estimated error: 0.3%
Determining probable alternative destinations, and estimating likelihood of residence of target, based upon database information.
The firestorm stopped suddenly, being replaced with one of ice. The temperature dropped to dangerous levels, and large chunks of ice were now slamming into the robot.
Primary force field at 24%. Estimate burnout in 1 minute.
Fortunately, the advanced intelligence matrix would allow him to compute the most likely next destination within that minute, saving him a time-consuming repair job.
Most probable location of target, based upon likely error in original coordinates and database information of locations: The Planet, 94%. Other locations insignificant. Probability that current spatial coordinates are accurate: 97%
Instantly he decided on that course of action. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for him to gain sufficient height so as to avoid breaking something on his way in. His dimensional teleporter, possibly the only thing on him that used magic of any sort at all, was already activated, and the air around him crackled with blue energy. Though you wouldn't know it from the lightning storm that had just kicked up.
Primary force field integrity: 12%, and dropping rapidly.
With a loud noise, not unlike an explosion, the massive robot disappeared from view, leaving the storm to rage on unnoticed.
========================
Unknown to Bob and Mae, though that was certain to change, and quick, the place EKDS5k had been standing in the storm dimension coincided with his room on The Planet. Bluish energy crackled across the walls, and with a bright white flash, E-KD5-5000 was standing not four feet away from the foot of their bed., looking straight at them.
Primary force field integrity: 5%, and charging at normal rate. Estimate 100% reached in five minutes.
He immediately scanned the pair, accessing whatever information he had.
Female unknown. Male: Bob the Cat, owner of Bob's Item Shop, the shop of which I had mandibles installed.
Mandibles were subsequently destroyed by an unidentified creature.
