The Machine by Zuks

Summary:

A spacecraft appears over Hogwarts in the middle of the night, and an abduction occurs. However, there are no green men or xenomorphs on the ship. In fact, it seems abandoned, except for the dying computer... The abductees awake with body parts taken and replaced with mechanical parts, and search desperately for a way to escape, and, more importantly, for the truth.

REQUIREMENTS

- More than one chapter.

- Obviously, it must centralize on Snape and Harry, and their attempt to solve their way out of this situation and possibly escape.

- Harry, Snape, and any other abductees are stuck wandless onboard.

- Snape's voice is taken by the ship's computer and is the only thing the computer does not attempt to 'replace', most likely because he is most aware of/ most likely to figure out what is happening.

- Harry's eyes are taken, and replaced with a single camera type device.

- The ship's computer attempts to create a new, sturdier, biological 'body' from harvested parts from the abductees, in a desperate shot at 'survival'.

- Despite its delapidated state, the ship's advanced technology cancels out the magical wards surrounding Hogwarts, thus being able to breach it so easily.

- None of the abductees are killed because of having 'parts replaced', but if anyone dies it is up to you.

- The computer must be seen by Harry and Snape seamlessly 'assembled' in his pieced-together human body by the end of the story.

OPTIONS

- It is up to you how many people are abducted. It could be a select few or the entire school, your decision.

- It is up to you who the other abductees are and what the computer 'harvests' from them. They can be all be students, include order of the phoenix members, whatever.

- You can kill anyone off, but obviously Harry and Snape must survive through most of the story.

- It is up to you if the ship's technology takes advantage of magic or not.

- It is up to you if what the computer takes from Harry and Snape is particularly signifigant or not.

- The ending is up to you entirely.

WARNINGS

Kidnapped/Abducted

Physical Impairment

Violence (Although if you can manage this concept without much violence then that would be impressive!)

I ask that anyone responding to this challenge bear in mind the rating and not go overboard on violence. I expect mostly it should be 'psychological', but I think this would probably be a relatively dark story, so keep it in mind.
