Chapter 31
Sizx scrambled into her private capsule, pushing Ciaran’s home robot, Robert, to a corner. “Stay right there and do not disturb me. Ciaran’s in trouble.”
“Affirmative. I am here to help.”
Sizx slammed at the control panel. “Faster!” she grunted.
“Private capsules can only travel at a limited speed. There is a way you can make it go ten percent faster by optimizing the energy consumption. Would you like me to calculate the optimal usage?” Robert asked.
“I know how fast a private capsule can travel,” she snarled.
“Then why did you ask the machine to perform an almost impossible task?”
“Why don’t you just shut up? If Ciaran hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have come and picked you up. If I knew you talked so much, I would have said no.”
“You never say no to Ciaran.”
“Excuse me?”
