Intellia fluffed her hair and smiled in the mirror. "I did it Marbles! I did it! This time tomorrow I'm going to be Motherboard!"

"I'm proud of you." Marbles said, as he helped her prepare. "You ready for the interview?"

"Yes, of course I am! Time to show Cyberspace I mean business!"

"You show them!" Marbles encouraged her.. "I know you'll make Cyberspace great again!"

"Thank you. Now I must be going." Intellia said, striding out of her room. Marbles nodded. He got himself a bowl of popcorn and turned on the TV.

It was a waiting game for Intellia's interview to start, so he flipped through the channels.

One show for kids seemed to center around a young girl cyborg.

"I'm so excited to see my best friend today!" She giggled as she skipped down the sidewalk.

She stopped at a door and knocked a few times. The door opened and in the doorway stood a little girl bot.

"This is my best friend, Chip!" The female cyborg said excitedly to the camera.

Marbles made a sound of disgust and flipped the channel.

Two male cyborgs were snuggling on a couch, watching a movie together. The smaller of the two smiled and arched his neck slightly to give the other a kiss on the cheek. The other smiled the warmest, brightest smile and returned the kiss, causing the same reaction. Then he pulled him closer and stroked his back gently.

"Vile." Marbles spat, changing the channel.

This time the lovers were a male bot and a female cyborg. They held hands as they took a walk through a park. They stopped at an ice cream stand. The Cyborg pulled out some snelfus and paid for the ice cream.

"Also vile." He sneered. He looked at the time and was relieved it was time for the interview.

…

"Hello I'm Kenneth Zip Drive and here we are with our new Motherboard." He seemed to lack his usual enthusiasm.

In the opposite seat, Intellia looked smug and victorious.

Kenneth grimaced slightly before putting on a fake smile asking his first question, "So how do you feel about becoming our new Motherboard?"

"It's amazing! I can't wait to make Cyberchase great again!" She said, too overconfident.

"Do you have any concerns about the fact 99% of the bot population doesn't trust you?"

Intellia blinked. "What?"

"99% of the bot population doesn't trust you." Kenneth repeated.

"Why?" Intellia asked, obviously faking her confusion.

"Because you are very open about your anti bot stances."

"Anti bot!? Oh, where did you get that thought?" She faked her innocence and batted her eyelashes for good measure. " I love all beings in Cyberspace! Equally!"

"I see...Well, what are your plans for Cyberspace?"

"I'm going to make it great again."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Um…" Intellia played with her hair nervously. Damn it! I can't bring my planned policies about bots into this now! "I'm going to er...Create more jobs,make it great again...um..yeah…"

"I see.." Kenneth nodded slightly in politeness, chewing the corner of his lip. "Thank you Motherboard for sitting down with me today. This is Kenneth Zip Drive for CyberSix News."

"That went well." Intellia said as she got up to leave. "Bye!"

"Goodbye." Kenneth said with a small polite smile and wave before heading back stage. He got himself a glass of water and sat down. "We're screwed…."
