The
robot
rose
erect
smoothly
and
his
thickly
sponge-rubber
soled
feet
made
no
noise
as
he
followed
Powell
.
The
Earthman
touched
a
button
and
a
square
section
of
the
wall
flickered
aside
.
The
thick
,
clear
glass
revealed
space
--
starspeckled
.
"
I
've
seen
that
in
the
observation
ports
in
the
engine
room
,
"
said
Cutie
.
"
I
know
,
"
said
Powell
.
"
What
do
you
think
it
is
?
"
"
Exactly
what
it
seems
--
a
black
material
just
beyond
this
glass
that
is
spotted
with
little
gleaming
dots
.
I
know
that
our
director
sends
out
beams
to
some
of
these
dots
,
always
to
the
same
ones
--
and
also
that
these
dots
shift
and
that
the
beams
shift
with
them
.
That
is
all
.
"
"
Good
!
Now
I
want
you
to
listen
carefully
.
The
blackness
is
emptinessvast
emptiness
stretching
out
infinitely
.
The
little
,
gleaming
dots
are
huge
masses
of
energy-filled
matter
.
They
are
globes
,
some
of
them
millions
of
miles
in
diameterand
for
comparison
,
this
station
is
only
one
mile
across
.
They
seem
so
tiny
because
they
are
incredibly
far
off
.
"
The
dots
to
which
our
energy
beams
are
directed
,
are
nearer
and
much
smaller
.
They
are
cold
and
hard
and
human
beings
like
myself
live
upon
their
surfaces
--
many
billions
of
them
.
It
is
from
one
of
these
worlds
that
Donovan
and
I
come
.
Our
beams
feed
these
worlds
energy
drawn
from
one
of
those
huge
incandescent
globes
that
happens
to
be
near
us
.
We
call
that
globe
the
Sun
and
it
is
on
the
other
side
of
the
station
where
you
ca
n't
see
it
.
"
Cutie
remained
motionless
before
the
port
,
like
a
steel
statue
.
His
head
did
not
turn
as
he
spoke
,
"
Which
particular
dot
of
light
do
you
claim
to
come
from
?
"
Powell
searched
,
"
There
it
is
.
The
very
bright
one
in
the
corner
.
We
call
it
Earth
.
"
He
grinned
.
"
Good
old
Earth
.
There
are
three
billions
of
us
there
,
Cutie
--
and
in
about
two
weeks
I
'll
be
back
there
with
them
"
And
then
,
surprisingly
enough
,
Cutie
hummed
abstractedly
.
There
was
no
tune
to
it
,
but
it
possessed
a
curious
twanging
quality
as
of
plucked
strings
.
It
ceased
as
suddenly
as
it
had
begun
,
"
But
where
do
I
come
in
,
Powell
?
You
have
n't
explained
my
existence
.
"
"
The
rest
is
simple
.
When
these
stations
were
first
established
to
feed
solar
energy
to
the
planets
,
they
were
run
by
humans
.
However
,
the
heat
,
the
hard
solar
radiations
,
and
the
electron
storms
made
the
post
a
difficult
one
.
Robots
were
developed
to
replace
human
labor
and
now
only
two
human
executives
are
required
for
each
station
.
We
are
trying
to
replace
even
those
,
and
that
's
where
you
come
in
.
You
're
the
highest
type
of
robot
ever
developed
and
if
you
show
the
ability
to
run
this
station
independently
,
no
human
need
ever
come
here
again
except
to
bring
parts
for
repairs
.
