Description

Captain Flynt was curious, he'd never seen a class-9 robot. Was it one of those 3 meter tall behemoths, or something with 4 arms that flies? At Neptune House he inquired about Polaris and was sent to a back room where an attractive secretary stared at a workstation screen. He walked over and asked for Polaris. The woman turned, "That would be me. What can I help you with?" "You're Polaris?" "Yes." Flynt was stunned. He had never met a genuine, state-of-the art android, and so life-like at that. He continued, "M99 sent me." After a long conversation Flynt learned a few things: 1. Polaris never revealed a single detail about her work, only vague generalities. 2. Those robots that escaped could have vanished, but chose not to. His visit opened the remote possibility that an all-out war between humans and robots can be avoided. 3. The robots have no desire to destroy any intelligent life, unless they pose a threat to them. 4. A time will come when all our combined resources will be needed to repel a new threat that can doom the entire galaxy. Flynt exchanged contact information with Polaris and returned to his ship, lost in thought. (AI input and manual postwork)
