Only those lucky enough to have boats and quick enough to use them had a chance, but few found anything left above ground.

Martin Puck had a canoe in his garage. As the water threatened, he climbed into it and left. Three days later, he spotted the castle and thanked God.

Approaching the mansion, he feared its owner would refuse him admittance. At the same time, he hoped he wasn’t alone.

Near the doorbell, a plate identified the home’s owner as Drake Koolah.

As the door swung open, Martin screamed.

When I get back, I’m gonna clobber that bot-tech.

“Bin-bo, are you there?”

Great. I’m supposed to blast the natives of this planet into little puffs of smoke, and Bin-bo reconstructed me onto a solid object.

“Bin-bo, respond. That’s an order!”

That little ‘bot probably isn’t receiving me, and I can’t move my parts let alone. . .wait. If I’m on the surface of a three dimensional object. . .

“BIN-BO!”

The kill-bot’s words were silent thoughts in his head. After several weeks, the kill-bot stopped trying to speak and marked his time until another was sent to attack.
