As I entered the room I stopped short— A robot perched precariously in the open window, looking directly at me. A moment passed between us, and then another without either party uttering a single word. I turned and left the room, closing the door behind me.

The bottle contained what appeared to be ancient punch cards. If the bottle was an anomaly in this environment the punchcards were doubly so. A scan of the scorched and desiccated landscape yielded no other feature, artificial or natural. The robot turned its attention back to the bottle and its mysterious contents…

After an eternity of clock cycles under a baking sun in the featureless landscape, the robot detected an anomaly a short distance ahead. Millimeter-wave radar picked it out as a hard object, smooth; not a rock or some other natural object. Eventually the robot determined it was a bottle, a glass bottle half buried in the sand… with something inside.

One robot in particular was obsessed with the concept of time. They asked to be called “CRONan.” CRONan kept a workstation populated with all manner of analog clocks— digital timepieces, it seemed, were not suitable. CRONan spent many hours finding, fixing, maintaining and adjusting the collection of clocks.

Our favorite human made a quick sketch during his lunch break. He says it was inspired by the illustrative style of Moebius. He also wanted to take a break from Inktober and try out his new Platinum Preppy fountain pen. He rather liked it as a drawing instrument.

The Memory Core was a necessarily important place. Maybe even sacred. Without memory, without history, without a way to recount what had come before then what good was anything else?

The client came in the door with a whale of a tale about cheating, theft, and malicious code…

Slogging through the dunes was a cruel undertaking; the heat caused viscosity breakdown of joint lubricants which in turn increased weeping of seals which finally attracted half the sand in the desert. (This last detail in its retelling of its journey, an attempt by the robot at human-type exaggeration.)

In this sector the water was flowing freely, important for the heat exchangers to function properly. Occasionally an impeller would bind, requiring an armpit-deep foray into the oxide-laden water.

A cup of tea, a good book… one of the precious rituals of daily existence.

“The human Carl Sagan wrote that we are a way for the universe to know itself. I like to imagine myself floating in space, considering a distant star. We are both made of the same chemical elements; we are both different expressions of the same idea.”

<Low voltage alert— batteries nearly exhausted> After gathering a couple of books and plugging in to an electrical outlet, the robot plopped down in a favorite chair to read for a couple of hours.
