"Why?" "So that I can anticipate Him, circumvent Him." "What makes it necessary for you to circumvent God?" Mike asked, wondering if he'd have to pry everything out of the robot piecemeal. "I must," said Snookums. "It is necessary. Otherwise, He will kill me." Mike started to say something, but Leda grabbed his arm. "Let me. I think I can clear this up. I think I see where you're heading."
But only twenty days after the recovery and docking of the first robot ship to rise, a new sort of ship entirely came blindly up as a robot. The little space wagons hauled it to the airlock and inside. They unloaded it and it was no longer a robot. It was a modified hull designed for the duties of a tug in space. It could carry a crew of four, and its cargohold was accessible from the cabin.
Men were moving about busily near the big ship, and Alan remembered that it had become obsolete during its last long voyage, and was being rebuilt. A robot came sliding up to the three of them as they stood there at the edge of the landing field. "Can I help you, please?" "I'm from the starship Valhalla," Alan said. "I'm returning to the ship. Would you take me to the ship, please?" "Of course."
"Might have helped some as disguise." "I doubt it with so many robots around, they've probably got signals that we couldn't understand, anyway. If we meet anybody it'll mean a battle. Hold it!" Peering through walls with his spy-ray, Costigan had seen two men approaching, blocking an intersecting corridor into which they must turn. "Two of 'em, a man and a robot the robot's on your side.
Montano scowled fiercely. "But they wanted that little worldlet. So we went all over it to be sure there were no rare minerals there, and finally leased it to them, a century at a time. They mine the place for some kind of powdered lubricant that's better than graphite it's all done by robot machinery, no one's stationed there.
These now turned their attention to space flight and Man, the Insatiable, began stretching out greedy hands to the Stars. "They put a robot rocket on the Moon in less than two years. Their third rocket carried two scientists who did not make the return trip they stayed to study and to learn. Five years later the first ship landed on Mars, and within a decade that planet was largely colonized.
And she says she doesn't mind being a midget so much since she heard about me. I'm going to write her." But it would be, of course, a long time before there was a way for mail to get down to Earth. It was a long time. Now it was possible to send up robot rockets to the Platform. They came up. When the second arrived, Haney went out to pull it in.
I won't even bill you for repairs on my servo." "Bill me? I ought to sue you for obstructing the streets! And I just got through telling your robot that I didn't plan to waste any time gambling at your place." The other's lips curled into a half-sneer, half-grin. "Why not?" "My business," Alan said stubbornly. "Leave me alone."
If Mellon came at him, the supersonic beam from the gun would affect his nerves the same way an electric current would, and he'd collapse, unconscious but relatively unharmed. But Mike doubted seriously that it would have any effect at all on the metal body of the robot. It is as difficult to jolt the nerves of a robot as it is to blind an oyster.
As he'd known it would, the hatch robot whirred an extra and higher-pitched ten seconds when it came to his topside address, but it ultimately dilated the hatch for him, first handing him a claim check for his ID card. Gusterson's heart was ticking like a sledgehammer by now.
