@great-big-stees saidsaid Aunt Matilda v2.01 faux-demurely. Her new android chassis still had the scar across the face which she had insisted on preserving "for sentimental reasons" that she always kept to herself. She still had the magic teapot from a certain German craftsman of the late 1800s that could pour whiskey instead of tea on demand, and at this stage of the game I was certainly more than ready for
“Burp”…excuse moi.😲
@kevin-eleven saida shot of “Matilda’s Malt” as it had become known among the Yr2 cadets in the back-room chat at the Star Academy. Watching Matilde pour us each a large measure of the 100% proof relplica Tennessee Bourbon into the vintage Royal Doulton ‘English Rose’ bone China teacups with such clinical technical precision suddenly unnerved me a little. I considered how tomorrow might play out and wether I would be able to exercise my own technical precision as I put another thousand Buggers to the sword of my twin Phase Plasma turrets. I was brought back to the present by a sweet tinkle of spoon on China as Matilde stirred in my medication; thank goodness for the medication I mussed, without it I would still be….

@divegeester said"Not to make you even more paranoid," said Aunt Mathilde as she set her sherry glass down with augmented precision, "but I have observed you seem to look for weaknesses in others in preparation for your petty attacks. You poor dear. That generally indicates that your mindset involves a primary attack-or-be-attacked axis. It would be incorrect for me to speculate how that might have occurred, although of course

A metallic burning smell emanated from where Aunt Mathilde’s head had been attached seconds before. Daneel drew back his Mklll Industrial Might & Magic “Tormentor” Laser Sabre and glanced coldly at Aunt Mathilde’s severed head which had partly rolled under the sofa where it lay on its side fizzing with positronic effervescence. Daneel stood, his 6’ 9” spindly frame stooping as he left to find…

Mathilde was from a line of infiltration models. She had been designed, programmed and deployed in order for the authorities to monitor the movements and activities of Casper Xenlick the far left militant who’s influence was on the rise as his appeal to the factory floor had broadened significantly after the merger of the two Giant Robo Corps, ElastoMec and DigiMind.
Deneel cleaned up evidence of his presence, leaving the severed head of Matilde leaking positronic fluids under the sofa. As he left Deneel moved a chess piece in the active game depicted on the board in the hallway; white knight to c3. It was a message to his counterpart to…

@kevin-eleven saidCasper Xenlick who had returned home early from his union meeting with the heads of the shop floor workers associations at the Giant Robo Corps, ElastoMec and DigiMind, after his waistband bleeper alerted him to an unauthorised entry at his 50 acre home in the hinterland hills north of Robot City.

He was met at the door by two Roboinforcers and a tall slender man who introduced himself as “Hari Seldon” a “friend” from the History Research Foundation. Casper eyed Hari through slightly squinted eyes and a lens of suspicion. He had heard of Seldon and his enormous work in Psychohistory which had influenced governmental strategic thinking across the Galaxy.
But why was Seldon here, supporting investigation into the assassination of a domestic robot! After a long pause Seldon invited Xenlick into his own house, a gesture which simultaneously irritated and unnerved him. He desperately tried to remember if he had secured the …..
