A chapter in the book Random Rhyme and Petty Prose
Robot Saves the Day
by Bill Schott
Felister Monbal made a few final adjustments to Robot. His orders were to prepare it for transportation to Earth.
"FM, the excelavator is ready for slipping," said his assistant, Morgram Weem.
"Robot is ready as well, MW. Send it."
Collecting robot, Morgram wheeled it over to the transportation device.
"Good luck, Robot," said Morgram.
Robot, which had a humanoid form, moved its head slightly in Morgram's direction. Its arm raised and a speaker appeared in its palm.
"Luck is a chaos element which does not affect robot performance. All that I will do is programed and prepared to exceed all possible scenarios."
"You are what Earth needs, Robot. Your arrival will allow us to reset and proceed."
Morgram waved his hand over the initiator.
Robot vanished. At the same time, on Earth, it arrived -- and detonated.
