The tiny cog seemed to be insignificant, but that was kind
of the point. So it was that no one
noticed it unfold into a spider-like robot and start climbing up the inside of
the mechanism. With the tiny clink-clank
of its spindly legs, it made it to the top and started unscrewing various
pieces. Despite it being small and
unable to lift much, it made quick work of the upper mechanisms. In about seven minutes, its work was done.
With its task complete, the larger conveyer belt began to
lean, the supports now bending with every object that passed over the
sabotage. Eventually, the belt gave way
and a large hunk of metal plummeted below and slammed into the reactor. Sirens wailed indicating a valve
shutoff. A meltdown was imminent. The droid’s deed was done.
