Time Traveler: Episodio #151 - De Vuelta a Casa

En cuanto llegaron a casa, Robin se retiró a dormir enseguida, Ann se puso cómoda y con la ayuda 

de sus robo-nanas, alimentó a Wanda y a Carrie y luego las colocó en sus respectivas cunas.

"Ahora sí, a descansar pequeñas", les dijo amorosamente.

Cualquiera diría que estaría enfadada por no haber dado a luz un niño, pero no fue así. De hecho, estableció una rápida conexión con las gemelas, y, a pesar de tener dos robo-nanas, estaba feliz de ser ella misma quien se encargara de alimentar, cambiar, y poner a dormir a Wanda y Carrie. 

Por supuesto, Bethany y Five la relevaban por las noches, para que ella pudiera descansar. Y durante el día se hacían cargo de Jessica para que no se quedara sin atención mientras su madre estaba ocupada con las gemelas.

Sí, Ann estaba más o menos feliz, igual que el resto de la familia, pero... ¿y Robin? ¿Cómo la estaba pasando él?

Time Traveler: Episode 75 - So Long, Oasis Landing

It's the last evening before their departure from Oasis Landing. Robin took the opportunity to perform an horticulture experiment with the seed that he just found, which sadly wasn't successful this time. 

As for Bethany, she found her dream job that morning. She will be able to start working upon her return.

"Well, at least things went well for someone here."

That's all for today, tomorrow Robin will be back in Aurora Skies with only half of his problems solved. He fixed Bethany, but the issue with the baby engineering labs remains. Truth to be told, there isn't much he can do about that now.

Robin's DNA has been implanted in the volunteer. The experiment is at an early stage, but there's no way to stop it. Anyway, he'll talk to her at his return to see how they can handle this. One more baby is on its way, it's not just anything, he'll have to tell Ann about it.

To top it off, looking at the Oasis Landing's population records, Robin noticed that there aren't any Crane descendants registered.  No one named Crane on the list? That's impossible. He has a daughter now! 

"Well, maybe Jessica didn't have children, or maybe she registered them with her husband's last name. Or... she didn't make it to 2054? No, this can't be. Something's very wrong, I must talk to Emit, he's the guardian of all times, he must know what happened to my descendants. Dammit!"

At night in the Dream Pod he had only distrubing dreams, that must  have been due to all his concerns.

"Jeez, when will my problems end?"

He went to sleep in the sofa, he felt much better there.

Bethany, on the other hand, she was in such good mood that she took one last flight around the city before getting in the battery charger. 

It's the early morning, time to start their trip to the Past. 

So long, Oasis Landing...

Hello again, Aurora Skies!

💙

Time Traveler: Episode 74 - Changes

Robin was very well paid for his latest creation, Alpha, now he's created Gamma, a Next Generation plumbot.

"Oh, yeah, he's perfect. They'll love him at the Emporium".

Gamma made good friends with Five and Bethany. He'll live with them until Robin has installs all the necessary trait chips. By the way, Bethany seems to be in a better mood, but she still won't talk to Robin. It's weird not to have her attention, but maybe it's better this way.

Five and Bethany had been working together in the garden. They are best friends already.

Later, they recharge batteries side by side while Robin enjoys his dinner.

Another day has gone by without a word from Beth...

THE MORNING AFTER... 

"Beth, listen, I know you are mad at me, but things are the way they are and you'll have to accept them or I won't be able to take you with me to Aurora Skies". 

Beth doesn't answer, she just gives off sounds in her other language, the one she uses to communicate with Five and Gamma.

"Beth? Please, give me a sign that you understand me".

In response, Beth gives a happiness beam to Robin, a plumbot friendly interaction and the undoubted proof that her anger is gone".

"Wow, just as I thought, plumbots are not resentful".

"So, you're no longer angry with me?"

Bethany thinks before answering and then...

"Bzzz-zzzip".

"Beth, what did I tell you about spark kissing?"

"Spark kiss, goodbye kiss. Last time. Robin can make changes now".

"Thanks, Beth. I'll never forget you, I swear".

"Beth won'f forget Robin either".

In the evening, as a goodbye date, Robin and Bethany went together to a club. They played pool, had drinks, danced, and... well, they had a great time.

When they returned home, they watched the stars and the sunrise together.

First thing in the morning, Robin made the due changes to Bethany's trait chips. She no longer has the Capacity to Love, but their friendship is intact. Now Robin can take her and Five with him to Aurora Skies as a part of his new family.

Time Traveler: Episode 70 - Office Drone

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!"
