《Love and Robots》11. Alpha’s decision
Advertisement
“Excuse me, why build a spaceship again? ” Said Robot A, carefully, even though he is the oldest here, even though we have lived together for so many years, programmed to do so, he was the same wooden, cautious robot: “Shouldn’t we leave with the Mugan? ”
Of the other five droids, Zizzi turned to “A. ” .
“We are wanted criminals, and once we set foot on human soil, we will cause problems for the Mugan, ” he said. “Facing destruction again is secondary, but the main thing is that they don’t want to be a bad influence on the Mugan. ”.
The robot that raised him was a wanted criminal, something they didn’t want the Mugan to know about anyway.
Many of the production equipment left on the base has been scrapped, with no new source of metal, and in recent years, in order to provide a better life for the Mugan, the only human on the planet, many of the detachable parts of the Epsilon’s body have been removed and turned into other tools.
One of the reasons they used to run away even as wanted criminals was because they didn’t want their bodies taken apart and used to make other tools, and now they do it willingly.
The robots did this when they were little, and when Mugan first noticed that Mugan had gotten smaller, he was taken aback.
“Uncle Epsilon, you have a great belly. You Don’t need to lose weight. ”
When the little one soothed epsilon with anxiety, he would smile and put Mugan in his stomach and play with him until he forgot about it.
However, IPSILON slowly lost weight, leaving only a big belly, he is now a regular tall robot.
“The body of the epsilon can only be built as a small craft, and I’ll fill in the rest. ” It didn’t take long, and Alpha decided that as a solid, melee attack robot, alpha is the biggest outside of epsilon.

“Even if we use the whole body of the Alfa, I don’t think it will be enough. I’ll take care of the rest, ” Euskadi Ta Askatasuna said.
“Pie is fourth, I am fifth. ” Beytagh, who had been silent, said nothing more than that he had taken his place.
The sequence of several robots is completely based on their own material characteristics and the location of the model, is a completely rational arrangement.
“Well... I’m a big guy, and I don’t have a lot of use for it, so I can give it all away, ” said a robot, who had a chance to interject after some of the other robots had taken up their positions, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his offer was immediately denied.
“Your fuselage material is too poor to be used as spaceship material, ” alpha’s glow screen flashed a cold glance. “The A bot who should be overseeing Mugan and Sigma learning at this point, tell me, why are you here now? ”
Robot a immediately took an energy card from the side.
“Sigma says he’s low on power and needs to refuel, ” says a, keeping an eye on Alpha.
“The Six Sigma fuselage is a new type of metal that can absorb external energy for its own use, and none of the energy shortages we might face would have occurred to him, ” the icy red light shows a straight line on Alpha’s screen. “I’ve told you a three thousand, five hundred and sixty-one times, why are you still being spent by him for the same reason? ”
“Go back to your mission. Sigma must have cheated again! ”
On Alpha’s command, droid a immediately left as fast as he could, and even if he did, he didn’t forget the power card on the robot’s arm.

Despite being scolded again by Alpha, he did not give up the idea of carrying an energy card for Sigma.
“The first generation of construction robots are so unprincipled. ” Coldly stared at A’s back for a long time, alfa turned again: “In the order we agreed. Now, Epsilon, you can become a spaceship. ”
Well, in the absence of rules for children, Alpha, you’re not much better than A
Ancient Earth is to sell iron for children to school, now to a few robot parents here, into their own children to go to school.
Muggensigma has to go to school, the ship has to have enough space for them, a status is OK, he has to take care of the Mugan, so there has to be a place for him on the ship, food and water for the Mugan during the flight, there should also be room for them; given the cost of tuition, they would also have to load some of the unicorns’ eggs on board, preferably with a pair of baby unicorns... Even if the space setting was carefully calculated, the ship they need is still big enough.
Epsilon’s whole body was put to use, and soon Alpha’s body was put to use, and then Euskadi Ta Askatasuna tore himself apart, and after Beytagh had taken apart the sleeping pie to make part of the roof of the ship, finally, I made up the last space with my body.
“It’s done, ” alpha said softly, looking at the ship of colorful metal as he laboriously turned the glowing screen toward his companion.
Five robots of different build, tall, short, fat and thin, have been reduced to a core brain.
In other words, they now have five big bald heads.

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
