Daneel knew that he was on his own, now that friend Giskard had become mentally frozen. He had asked him to see that Captain Daneel Giskard Baley and Gladia would be happy. That had been two centuries ago, when Kelden Amadiro, and Dr.Mandammus had succeeded in their plan to make Earth radioactive. There was no way to stop that now. Slowly, Earth would become inhabitable. While there were still some people who remained on Earth, most left, and did not wish to look back. During all this time, Daneel had been trying to find out where the Solarians had gone. Gladia had been a Solarian, he remembered. He also remembered perfectly, when he and Partner Elijah had visited the planet Solaria to solve the mystery of Dr. Rikaine Delmarre, Gladia's first husband. He remembered the people on Solaria, they're fear of personal presence, and how they preferred viewing to seeing. But now the planet was suddenly empty. Where could people who were so afraid of seeing others have gone? There were no sign of them anywhere anymore on the planet, it had been abandoned, yet they could not have gone to any of the other forty nine Spacer worlds, not any of the Settler worlds, where robots where not allowed, and the Solarians were extremely dependent on their robots, and most definitely not Earth. Perhaps what he needed was someone who could understand people, who were after all, somewhat illogical, due to the fact that they were not bound by the Laws of Robotics, but understand them through viewing. He had spent centuries looking for the right individual, and now, he had him, or rather, them. Now, he would finally be able to find the Solarians.

"Would you quit changing the channels already!"exclaimed Lance.
"Yeah, I can't watch tv."complained Fred.
"You are watching tv."said Pietro, as he surfed through the channels, changing them every quarter second.
"Ugh! Just settle on one, or give me the remote!"
"Only if you can catch me!"said Pietro, as he ran across the room. "Whoa!"
He slipped, and hit the shelf, and the remote went out of his hand. Lance caught it.
"Ow."said Toad.
Pietro had slipped over his tongue.
"And I just had it."he said, as he watched the fly buzz out the room.
He hopped after it.
"Yuck."
"At least he gets to eat something!"complained Fred.
Lance paid no attention to him, and settled on 7th Heaven.
"You're right. What are we going to eat tonight?"asked Pietro. "Oh, no, not that again!"
"There's nothing else."said Lance.
"I'd be like that, too, if we have to be living like this any longer."sighed Fred, as he watched the dog play dead when it was asked what it would look like if it didn't get fed a certain brand of dogfood.
Pietro rolled his eyes.
"We could have pizza again. We just have to figure out how to trick the pizza guy again. He seems to be getting the hang of it."
"Well, you come up with something. I came up with it last time."
"Yeah, and we almost didn't get the pizza. It was just stupid. But then, what can we expect from you, Blob?"
"I'm trying to hear the show."said Lance. "Why don't we just pay them this time?"
"With what?"
Lance thought. He went upstairs, and came back with some play money.
"I've been saving this for quite some time. See, he'll probably be so shocked we're actually paying him, he probably won't notice!"
Pietro grabbed the money, and almost jumped up and down, and Fred immediately got off the sofa, and ran to get the phone, where the phone number to the pizza parlor was, to begin ordering right away. Ten minutes later, the door bell rang. Fred and Pietro got up first, but Pietro opened the door, and handed the money over. He saw that the stranger was not he pizza guy. The pizza guy chewed gum, for one thing, and had dark hair, and always wore his Yankees cap. This stranger had a broad high-cheekboned face, and wore his bronze hair without a part.
"Yougotthewronghouse!"he said, and he shut the door in his face.
"Dumbass!"said Blob, and opened it again.
He grabbed the money from the ground, "Sorry, h-where's the pizza?"
The stranger looked at him.
"I am R.Daneel Olivaw."he said to them.
"Never heard of him, yo."said Toad. "What'd you do to the pizza guy?"
"I have done nothing to the individual whom you address pizza guy."said the other calmly.
"Wow, that was fast."said Lance, walking towards the door. "Who's this?"
"No idea, yo."
"I am R.Daneel Olivaw."he repeated.
