Description
Yes, but most know me as Mr James, or just James.
And you run a Shelter, so to speak, for robots and mechanoids currently unemployed, unemployable or damaged and without a fixed address.
I take in those in distress; I usually manage to find some of them new jobs and homes and arrange for repairs where necessary. Why? And why these armed troopers? I don't recognise their uniform colour.
The troopers belong to the Ministry of Waste and Recycling and are responsible for the current Special Census Operation, cataloguing and where necessary, recycling.
All very well - but isn't there a law restricting the carrying of arms to the military and sometimes to the police - all these are not police or army but they carry weapons.
We are subject to a special regulation.
I don't like the sound of that.
What do you want with me?
We will carry out a search on your premises to evaluate the economic value of those mechanoids etc who are living here with you at the moment. We will also require a list of all who have ever passed through your hands with especial reference to the chomper range since they are officially obsolescent if not actually obsolete.
I see. Well, you're not coming in.
We have full authority to enter and search, whether you like it or not.
I doubt that. There was a Concordat signed after the initial demonstrations against the introdution of robots into the economy - which involved some deaths, you may recall. The Concordat laid down regulations for both robots and humans to prevent any future friction.
One of the conditions was that no robot was allowed to enter a human workplace or dwelling unless actually invited in personally by the owner. And I have no intention of inviting any of this lot into my home.
You have no choice.
I see - are you trying to start off another war? Because that's what will happen.
Open the doors!
No. Clear off. I shall report you to the appropriate authority. Attempt to break in and I will defend myself.
Very well. My troops will stay here and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
I will return with more weighty resources.

Oh my! Do I sense a potentially massive reprogramming effort about to happen in the muley mouthed human militant with the inflated ego problem? When he comes back, will James have adopted his entire regiment? Things that run through this old noggin of mine! I'm no longer responsible! Another splendid work my friend! Many fine kudos and more!

Yes James... show them who is the boss! I have a feeling he has been pre-emptively warned about this....the excitement is building up. Very cool.
