Sandy swallowed hard and grasped the hand railing of the escalator putting her foot out to touch the moving stairs. As soon as she applied pressure the hand railing dragged her out and the stairs crumpled away revealing twisting, grinding gears below. Sandy let out a cry of panic and her legs milled in mid air while she pawed wildly grabbing hold of the floor and tiles to keep from falling.

This situation was going from bad to worse. If Pruna and Clementine turned to help her the Roomba's would grab them. If they fought the Roomba's Sandy would be on her own.
