Robot Technician III Roger clicked on the HBO Photo of the Day cutline contest and gestured to his supervisor, Robot Technician IV Tim, to come over.
“We should fire up the Zoltran 5000 and see if that new pattern recognition post organo-cerebro semiotics expressive unit is working good, have old Zoltran submit a cutline” Roger said.
“Are you serious? The hydro-dynamical cold fusion cooling unit is still unstable according to the Professor, we’ve got a nuclear mini-reactor running this dude.” Tim replied.
“C’mon man, you know you wanna” Roger said.
“Well, it’s just some cute cheerleaders, heck, I know his Japanese schoologirl stimuli awareness software is copacetic, I installed that packet myself.” Tim said.
Roger and Tim wheeled Zoltran 5000 over to the computer monitor and pressed his start button.
Meanwhile, 13.7 kilometers away, in a bucolic spring meadow with splashes of wild naturalized daffodils blooming, Dr. Karl Eischenstiffel PhD, the world’s renowned and Nobel Prize winning expert on nuclear robotics enjoyed a rare escape from his laboratory. He was picnicking with his fiancee, the lovely and zaftig Professor of Jungian Hegelian-Analysis, Hulda Rosenmuller when he noticed all of the songbirds that had only seconds before been singing sweet and beautiful spring birdsongs of love and reproduction, suddenly grew silent. He glanced at the sky and noticed how bright it was becoming. Brighter and brighter. As bright as a million suns.
