The night has fallen in Oasis Landing.
Bethany is back and has asked Robin for an Office Drone trait chip, cause she wants to look for a job.
"Can plumbots have jobs? I thought they could only compete at the Bot Arena, but who knows".
"Whatever, if I create the new trait chip I'll have an excuse to adjust her chips and take out the Capacity to Love one. Beth won't even notice".
"Five? It was about time! Where have you been? And why did you disappear without telling me?"
"Five and Bethany, on a trip to Lunar Lakes".
"Lunar Lakes?? Not with my money, I hope".
"Five has savings".
"Savings? Alright, I suppose the competitions at the Arena pay off well. Anyway, let's tune you up, it's been a while. I'll upgrade you to High Tech level. Bethany will like that".
"Bethany not like Five. Bethany in love with Robin".
"Oh, nonsense!"
"Bethany in love with Robin", exactly what Robin didn't want to hear.
"I must change Beth's trait chips ASAP. I'll do it when the Office Drone chip is ready. Beth won't have Capacity to Love anymore, but she will be competent for almost any job without the daily stress of the professional life".
"And I'll add a Limitless Learning chip too to compensate the downgrade. That will speed her skill learning and help her get a better job. She'll be happy, she'll forget about me, problem solved. I will fix the issue with the RS Labs as well before I return to 2015".
"Why is everything so complicated in the Future? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Perhaps I should forget about everything: my mission, my career, and stay in the Past for good? Ah, if Emit could hear me now!"
