‘iRis!’ She’s standing just behind me in the shadows. ‘What are you doing here?’ ‘What kind of a hello is that?’ asks iRis with a grin. ‘S-sorry,’ I stammer. ‘I’m just surprised to see you. I didn’t even hear you come down the ladder.’ I peer up the ladder looking for the rest of the Star League. ‘Where are the others?’ ‘They’re busy,’ says iRis quickly. ‘So why don’t you and I take a look around?’ I shrug. I guess the others are probably still trying to convince Roger that there aren’t any giant bugs down here. ‘You snooze, you lose.’ I follow iRis into the secret lab. As soon as I’m inside, my jaw drops open in amazement. ‘I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!’ I mutter. Staring at me over the top of a giant hole in the ground are two enormous metallic heads. I peer over the edge of the hole to find that the heads are attached to equally enormous metallic bodies. ‘They’re giant robots!’ I whisper. ‘You’re almost right,’ says iRis.
