Auntie; “Why are you here?” Chomper: "We want to help Isildra get young again." Auntie: "Isildra asked for our help. We charged her for the help. She agreed. Now you expect us to refund the cost? In years of life that have been reassigned? They are no longer available.” Chomper: “Well, we think she didn’t really understand what was involved.” Auntie: “Didn’t understand? More fool her. Didn’t try or even want to understand, she was so determined to have her revenge. No. No sympathy for her. You can please yourself if you want to help her, though why a collection of metal mechanicals should have such feelings is beyond me. We do not work for free. We do not give refunds for completed work.” Chomper: “Could you not make an exception? She is so unhappy, and so sorry for all the trouble she caused.” Auntie: “Why should we? What rules are you playing by, little tin man? They are not our rules. You overlook the fact that we in this Order are alien beings from elsewhere in the universe and moreover that, unlike the various races on this planet, we are not at all interested in adapting our ways and culture to conform with yours, nor to be assimilated into your society. Look elsewhere for help, if you think there is anyone out there who can actually make a difference.” Chomper: “But -“ Auntie: “Go. Go now, before I turn you all into a collection of tawdry mantelpiece ornaments collecting dust for eternity.” (Auntie stands, turns and sweeps out of the room) Lorillu (who has been watching) : “None of us can do anythng for you, robot. You should look elsewhere.” Chomper: “Any suggestions?” Lorillu: “If this Isildra has friends, they might offer aid.” Chomper: “Not a vast number, I grant you; but - what could they do?” Lorillu; “The only way for you to reduce her age is by transferring years to her from other humans. But - and I must stress this - the years must be donated willingly by her friends and well-wishers. We cannot transfer those years; Auntie will not allow us to intervene in this. Perhaps one of the Wizards might be able to do it. First find out who is willing to donate a year of life to Isildra. And hope you can find enough of them to make a significant difference.” “Thank you very much.” Lorillu: “Ah but I have said nothing, you understand? You have never seen me. Now go.”
