A message from the author to you, yes you, looking on the screen currently: It is one of the most common mistakes of the public to misstake me for J.K. Rowling until they actualy read the stuff I write or they see me in person. But I am really thankful that she takes a so supporting position towards fanfiction writers, much unlike some other authors.

Chapter 5: A Trip to the moon.

Harry and his robot experimented with the armor and their collected gear for a while after they had flown away from the wrecked second fighter ship and had dropped the naked Stormtrooper in a safe distance next to a small town. They confirmed that the armor was really magic proof, so was the small fighter craft, even from the inside.

"So it's my turn my little Padawan," his robot began. "We have to find a way that I can show you the really interesting stuff without letting the stupid ignorance field delete it from you again. Let's make some trips to space and back until you remember my build number?"

"Can I call you Fluffy please? You really remind me of him."

"First we figure out how to prevent that you autodelete yourself every time I tell you something strange. And believe me although you seem to accept a lot as not to be overly strange enough to trigger the field, there are some things in space that would for sure reset you once you come back on earth, just like I was fried by magic."

"Ok, I might have a way or three already. First let's try my occlumency. I will have to meditate a little and move all my newer memories into my inner sanctum. Then I will renew a mental trigger that I have already trained so that it will raise my occlumency wards every time the obliviation magic is triggered."

"Do that while I will work on disabling any tracking devices we might have on this ship."

"Hmm"

"What?"

"Did I try this already?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"No, why?"

"Because we made a jump, we've been over Sussex when I started this conversation and now the sky is different and this looks more like the alps down there."

"And what if I tell you that you are the most stubborn individual that I have ever met and that you refused to believe me the first two times we had this conversation?"

"Hmm, maybe I can be a little stubborn from time to time?" Harry agreed.

"Ha! Progress! And now let's try your second method that you mentioned before."

"... Ahem, well since the first one failed so spectacularly, my second idea seems to be not that a good idea either because it was only a deeper state of occlumency which leaves me with the third one which I will not do. It's an illegal shield rune to counter any of the known imperious and mental spells and it must be tattooed directly into the skull. The problem is that it must be done directly on the skull while the you need to stay conscious to adapt to the changes. And you must use ink from a giant magical squid. And I would bet my arse that it's not only illegal but that I am the only Wizard alive that knows how it looks and works in detail, because I blasted its inventor through the roof of his nice palace in Rome after the pain had driven him completely nutters."

"Did the pain come from the rune or the ink?"

Harry looked at the robot like he was completely nutters. "Have you ever tried to tattoo a bone? You must etch it with acid first and then after the ink is absorbed you must heal it with your own magic. It took the guy one week of extreme pains to etch his skull that lay open all the time. After he finished the tattoo, he lost it completely and went on a killing spree so badly that the Italian government asked me directly to help them."

"Hmm, Ok. How big is the rune we are talking about?"

"I still think that you are missing the part where I would have to do this to myself on the top of my head where I cannot see properly. So it would be quite large to ease out all the inevitable flaws I would do due to all the shivering and screaming." Harry felt like he was talking to an idiot. Maybe he had misjudged the intelligence of the machine.

"Can you draw the rune for me?"

"Yes of course I can! Did you listen to the part where I said that the last guy who tried it went nuts?"

"I have read in Hogwarts a history that the children are still required to use only ink from the giant magical squid, and that you can owl order it. Should we make a stop somewhere so that you can get it?"

"I have some with me in my trunk." Harry had given up on asking the obvious.

"And how sure are you that this rune would help?"

"Beside of that I still have to figure out how to apply and survive it - it will work. The rune itself is comparable easy but still a work of a mad genius to have it figured out. It needs the calcium structure of the surrounding bone to contain itself and not explode, but that's all of it in the end."

"Well then, trusty steed, lead us to the moon, we have an appointment at the tattoo studio. And yes I know that I did not tell you how I will do it, because I do not want to reset you as long as we are in the M.A.S. field and I would have to have this beautiful piece of a conversation once again. I stored a memory of it, so that you can rewatch it later if you like."

Harry gave a frustrated huff and just aimed the fighter jet straight up out of the atmosphere.

~.~

Travel time is story time

Coming out of the stupidity field felt really like removing a heavy sack of potatoes from your head. It became easier to think and remember and even the magic flow seemed to increase in the whole body. Harry could only guess how much more enervating this must feel for people who had lived their whole conscious life under the field.

"Oh boy! How many people are still living on earth? And those large circles hovering there, are those the space stations with elevators? There are so many shafts going down back to earth, I would never have expected that. They must be really huge since we can see them from here when they are anchored on the equator. We did not jet cross over to Africa when I flew up."

The robot turned to Harry and he could hear an amused tone in his voice: "Welcome to the world of tomorrow! My name is FX390, I am representing an individual instance of the hive intelligence FX that is currently residing over there in the deactivated Tonsupua space hub. The traffic from earth has been constantly getting less and less during the years so that the spacers deactivated one elevator after the other.

Although we are shaped more or less like humans we are for sure more intelligent than them. It is regarded a bad idea around here when robots are giving themselves real names. It is reminding some people that we might be equal or better than them. I would be honored if you call me Fluffy, since I know the monster dog you are referring to and I think it is a nice inside joke that we can share.

Please keep in mind that I am not like a human, we are a hive mind. Individuality is more or less just like an interesting hobby to us. And another thing, just like you can apparate from one place to the next I can transfer almost immediately into any other operative drone anywhere or I can remote controll a robot if the receiver is installed and it is properly hacked. You can talk to any F Series Drone and the information is available to any of us. My consciousness can just jump into the respective frames all over the solar sytem at lightspeed.

There is a lot going on above earth. Some really stupid humans are trying to go to war against the hive intelligences who have long ago retreated themselves to the Van Halen and Kuiper asteroid belts were there is a completely different kind of human society. Space farmers and miners who are living in a kind of symbiotic relationship with the hive bots and technology in general. The Hive constantly improves and optimize itself and we are moving out of the current reach of planet based humanity because we believe that we otherwise cause a conflict with humanity.

I am an ambassador from the belt and beside of trying to sort out the mystery that surrounds earth, I am trying to convince the humans that they have better things to do than going to war with the smoke and shadows that we make them see in the belts. I am not absolutely true to the people on the moon who believe that I am just a drone of the AI on the space station and that they can just pull the plug and I would be deactivated.

For the last five weeks I have been trying to figure out the mystic memory frying shield around earth and the fate of the unlucky magic humans - the so called looneys from the Moon. Children with the magical gift are regarded a deadly risk in space. As soon as they are discovered they are send in an isolation capsule to the moons sanctuary. Only 25 years ago they were mostly kicked out into space or sent to earth where the M.A.S. field made either squibs out of them or they were abducted by the Wizards. The last statement is only a conclusion and not something I know for sure."

Harry already had a look on his face that promised nothing good to the people who had murdered Wizard children and politicians that declared war on something that was trying to life in a symbiotic relationship with an intelligence that called itself a hive in an asteroid belt out in the nowhere of space.

A minute passed and Harry slowly let his breath out.

"Shiiite!" He said.

"Yes Sir! Complete ankle deep shite. But on the other hand we have a couple of new players on the board and I can already see very interesting times coming up."

"New players?" Harry asked.

"Well there is the magical galactic emperor and his erratic plan of dominating the solar system with robots and ships he want to build on earth.

Then there is the mess of the Wizarding world who's ignorance seems to be the epitome of ermm ... human ignorance.

And then there is me knowing about the dirty secrets of those two.

And then there is the rest of humankind on earth with a dwindling number of workers who constantly vanish into space but who are really fed up with their new galactic overlord already.

And then there are the former looneys from the moon who are suddenly looking like a power to be reckoned once they have gotten a grip of their magic. If they are only a tenth as capable of what you can do, there is no future I can see where they would not be a massive player on the table. They are already pooring over the books you provided.

Then there is you, who is obviously only wanting to be left alone, but on the other side you have a strong aversion against injustice of any kind. If we can get you this protective rune on your skull, I am absolutely sure you will go down and level the wizengamot and bring down the field in the end. After that humanity will have a home again."

"Oh if you think that's all, you are quite mistaken."

"Why don't you have a seat and we can talk about it then? The moon is still some 300.000 kilometers away, we have at least half an hour before we shock the hell out of the harbour master of Alpha One.

~..~

The Moon is a magical place

"You look ridiculous!"

"Says the robot disguised as a foxy black Stormtrooper who fell into a sticker tombola!"

Harry was proud of the transfiguration on his own Stormtrooper armor which they had banged together from the rests of what Fluffy had salvaged from the downed other fighter and his unlucky pilot before it exploded. Harry had chosen to make a complete mockery out of his gear. He had red shoes and lower leg armors, blue trousers, a red top, a brown face mask that had the before grim looking downward mouth-slit now pointed upwards and the rest of his helmet was red again with a small bell attached to the elongated top peak. He looked like a lunatic garden gnome that would have made his aunt Petunia vomit. His masterpiece was his still working phaser rifle which now looked like a shovel. He was no very sure from what end it would shoot and where to find the trigger.

Fluffy refused to wear the phaser gun which he had transfigured into a perfect replica of a ghetto blaster.

"Trust me, we do not want to look dangerous or important, so looney is the best choice. I have it from the best possible expert in this field. People will stare at you but when you are not fitting into any categories they will give up and almost every time give you the benefit of doubt. And we are visiting Looney Academy or not?"

"I still don't know whether you are just making fun of me. Which is OK with me of course, I just want to forewarn you that I will get even!

Oh before I forget, can I get a drop of blood from you? It's for the preparation of your tattoo."

"If you were a Wizard I would say absolutely not. Even if you were a close friend. But since you are what you are and I trust you, take it. But you still have to explain to me why you are so enthusiastic about this cruel operation."

Fluffy used a small syringe and drew some milliliters of blood from Harrys finger. "No I will not explain anything until I am sure that we will get to Looney Academy in this outfit."

The Harbourmaster and the immigration officer were having problems closing their mouths. "So we can be sure that you will stay only until 'Monday' that is as you claim in 48 earth hours. Your mission is to entertain and educate the pupils of Looney Academy in the ways of proper earth Looneys?"

"Yessir! And might I add that you have a fine way of properly interrogating people at this very fine spaceport. I have never been in a finer or more imposing spaceport, Sir."

"Whatever. You are giving me eye cancer, but I think it is a good idea to lift the spirit of the Looneys, they have it hard enough. Proceed."

To Fluffys complete bafflement the harbourmaster was so distracted by their strange attire, that he had not even noticed that they had been arriving in a completely unknown, unidentifiable, heavily weaponized enemy vessel nor did they had shown him any identification.

Harry had almost twisted his neck so much new things there were to look at. The Station Alpha-One was for sure as large as London on the surface but it stretched for almost 3 kilometers down under the surface, there were people everywhere. They traveled in a elevator like contraption at breakneck speed, changing directions now and then until they dropped suddenly into a broad downward shaft together with many other cabins just like their own.

When the both of them entered the large Alpha-One Resort cave system Harry was surprised to find it quite colorful and bright. The people were friendly and many of the guests ran around in very few clothings, enjoying the light from the artificial suns on the cave ceilings hundred of meters above of them. They stepped on transportation belts which brought them closer to the center cave. The center cave was illuminated from the corners of the ceiling and the transport belts were still running but the constant hum of the electric drive had seized, they were just pulled forward by the fact that the transport belt was running in a loop.

A lush green lawb, fields and some oversized trees were grouped together and there was a small village of lightweight domes in the center. Harry could see people exiting from their homes and watching the two comical figures arriving. When they had jumped of the belt, Harry asked whether it would be safe to remove his uniform.

"For you yes, for me not. It is the first time I am here, but I have seen some of the rare pictures and drawings. You won't believe how isolated it is here. Even the spacers don't go here because their connector implants could be fried. Some of the parents who came here with their children had their implants removed or nowadays there is a plugable version, so there are about 400 Wizard children in the age between 2 and 35 here, about 100 parents and about 50 Scientists and Nonscientists - but those are not here right now, because I send them copies of Hogwarts a History to give you lot a bit of privacy."

"It's like a large and comfy cupboard where they had to put them, because Wizards on earth were ignorant and uncooperative. It's a nice cupboard and so, but it is one."

Harry nearly jumped out of his suit since he was not used to the low gravity. He could hear some chuckles from the crowd which they had attracted already. He took his wand to his throat and applied a sonorous charm. His voice could be heard everywhere in the cave.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Wizards and witches. My name is Harry Potter, I am a Wizard from earth. I come from a 150 years in the past, a time where people with magic on earth were doing stupid things. One of it was that they isolated themselves from the regular people by means of magic and a heap full of ignorance. With the help of my friend Fluffy here we have send you a lot of books and some other stuff to teach and explain you about magic and the history that you all should know about. The books will tell you a lot but I am here today for the practical part.

I am on a self-assigned mission. I want to show you that magic is a gift and not a curse. It's a rare talent that can be used to achieve wonderful things." With that Harry's wand slid into his hand and around him small yellow flowers began to grow and spread around him. They started to blossom and a nice fresh smell spread through the cave. The flowers bowed to everyone in their vicinity and chuckled when they were touched.

"Like everything magic can be used to achieve bad things as well. What happened to you is a good example. More than a century in the past the Wizards on earth decided that they want to isolate themselves and erected a shield that prevented anyone from learning anything that would change his fundamental world view. They prevented that non magic people could discover them! At the same time they effectively stopped scientific progress on earth as well, and it didn't bother them. If the people would not yet have settled here on the moon and out of the reach of their field, it would have slowly eradicated humanity in the end, because the scientific world needs progress to survive.

There is much more to the story, more than what is appropriate to yell around in this cave, but I am here for a brief visit to see what you might need and show what you can achieve if we can solve some basic problems, like for example your lack of wands, your lack of freedom, that you cannot visit earth and much, much more."

With that, questions over questions started to pour down on Harry, some of the younger children wanted to show what they could do and compare it with Harrys abilities most of the adults were asking what they could do to support the cause, some people where sceptic. Harry noticed that Fluffy gave him a wave and left but he was pretty sure that he would work on his secret solution to Harry's skull tattoo.

Solid 18 hours later, the ruckus he had started was not yet dying down and some of the scientists had began to pour into the cave as well with even more questions. Some of them were even mad at him because he had proven their theories wrong and now they wanted to get even by pointing out logical flaws of his claims.

"Look, magic is essentially incompatible with the scientific world model and with the way integrated electronics are currently build. The basic laws of reality seem to be broken, I have understood that, but you have to understand that these laws are not the world itself, they have been made up or found out by some incredible intelligent people and did so far a fairly good job in explaining things. But what my friend Fluffy explained to me earlier, the fundament of scientific progress is to be proven wrong and start over again.

I cannot offer you any more valid explanations since I am only a Wizard and not a very scientific one. I can do stuff that is in direct contradiction to the scientific principles of nature and physics, like you pointed out already. You are standing next to a waterfall that produces water out of magic. It filled that pond already and it will continue to fall for several hours I guess. The water is needed on the moon I was explained and here it is. It is regular water, where it comes from I don't know, I can promise that - contrary to other stuff that is conjured magical - it is completely harmless beside that you might have to find someone to pump it somewhere safe before we all get wet feets." One of the parents that stood in the background signaled him a thumbs up and grabbed a couple of the people around him. When they had explained him before that water was very precious on the moon, he had made a suggestion to help them earn some money.

"Harry we have an appointment that we have to meet. We will be back here in some hours and you might want to grab a little sleep." Fluffy had approached him through the flock of people sitting around him.

"Just a second Fluffy. Can you two over there please tell me what I might possibly do for you? You have been patiently waiting all day and I don't want to be impolite or disappoint someone because of my appointments." He waved over to a young couple. They came over very shyly and Harry quickly erected a privacy field around the four of them.

"This is a field that prevents anyone else from listening in on us, they can't even lip read what we are talking about."

"Thank you, but I think it is not necessary. We are from the belt and we had a magical child there. We have lost contact to our son Ryan 6 years ago, when our colony decided to send him to earth to prevent any more accidents. Sadly we did not know about Moons Looney Academy back then and we only arrived here a month ago, because my wife is pregnant again and we both can already feel that the child is magical again. We are both earthers an had know that our family sometimes lost a child inexplicably, my sister vanished at age 11 from one day to the next. We have send our son to our relatives in Hampstead in England and we were hoping that you can look for him. We only heard back from him once in a short note, and it is really destroying us that he might be dead or stranded or abducted. We had hoped that he would send us an email or call us - he knew how to do it although he was only 9 at that time." Tears were on the faces of both of them.

"Yes I believe I can help you. I believe that the Wizards are abducting magical children - it kind of happened to me as well after my parents were killed when I was 15 months old. Please understand that being a wizard does not make you a bad person, it is the unbalanced power you possess that makes you think that you are entitled to decide over everyone else.

It took me a while to figure it out that the enemy were not the dark lords that I was hunting down but the real foe was the ignorant, unreflected, regular people that were lured by the imbalance of resources and power that makes them fall into the trap of thinking that they are superior or entitled to whatever they think they want."

The two parents both had tears in their eyes and were nodding. Fluffy laid a hand on Harrys shoulder and said quietly "This is the strangest place I would have expected to meet a true Belter, Harry. Society in space is somewhat different in every colony, here on the Moon it is relatively quite and scientific, Mars and other rocks have other cultures. In the Belts and the far out stations people are more cooperative in general but they can be harsh when it's coming to questions of plain survival."

"I would really like to visit all these places one day. I would have never expected to survive this long so I never had a plan for my life and I still sometimes doubt that I will succeed but that's not the time to discuss things like that. Do you have a photo of your son Ryan? I cannot promise anything but there is currently only one Wizarding school in England and if the Wizards are still like I remember them from a 150 years ago, he would be going to Hogwarts by now, - but maybe he would not remember you, there are memory altering magic spells that can do something like that." Harry grabbed their hands. "I promise that I will tell you whatever I find as soon as possible."

Moon magic and rune magic

"Hold still, this might sting a little." Fluffy and Harry were in a building in the magic isolation area on the moon, Fluffy had a metallic cylinder that had a thick cable connected to it that was trailing into the transfigured Stormtrooper armor of the droid. Fluffy currently tried to place it on top of Harry's flinching head. Harry was a nervous wreck.

"The orientation must be precise, the long initial charge up line must point in the direction of my nose and it must not cross over the one of the bone plate borders."

"Shush now and concentrate on adapting you magic thingy." The robot gently pressed Harry onto a chair and moved the cylinder around on his head a little. "There we go."

A sharp pain flashed on top of Harry's head for the break of a second, like a gentle knock with an oversized hammer. He could immediately feel a new presence of steely power emanating from it, that he hastily welcomed and integrated into his basic feel for his magic self.

"Fuck Ouch! And Wow! That was strange and surprisingly short. What did you do and how did you do that?" asked Harry.

"All electronics are contained in my armor and therefore protected, this applicator is mainly mechanical and injects first a bone dissolving acid, evaporates it immediately after it did its job, injects the ink, inserts an overly activated stem cell mixture that will grow the bone back while absorbing the ink and then whither to calcify the place. This was done by a thousand very small, flexible metal tubes that were self-guiding along precalculated pathways, creating your rune that you drew to me in a square centimeter wide area in the middle of your skull.

You may apply your healing spell now, we are ready."

Harry must have looked a little sheepish, but he tapped the top of his head with his wand and mumbled "Episkey".

Harry was delighted to see that as soon as he had got up, almost everyone else came to greet or ask some questions about the stuff they had read in the books and everyone had a look of determination to improve their status as gifted and not as technological inhibited. He explained the urgency to build a fireplace in an somehow secluded and fortified entry hall somewhere that must officially belong to him. They agreed on immediately erecting an additional small cave on the back of the looney cave that would have a solid metal door and a fireplace and name it Potters Moon Manor.

Harry was pleased to see that the people had organized a digging unit that had dug a trench from the other cave towards the new magic water pond and layered it already with a plastic inlay. Form their side the wizards and parents had dug the rest of the way with shovels and layered it as well. There was a long trench full of water running towards the regular park and many people were standing at its side and pointing to their waterfall and the field of yellow flowers which were enthusiastically waving back at them.

"Fluffy, do you have another errr … clone of you on the moon who could apply the tattoo to all of the magic people who would like to visit earth? I guess I can send up a larger quantity of ink here. At least for the children under 11 it should be save if they do not stay too long. Those above will be in danger to be grabbed by the Wizards and sticked into Hogwarts by force. And since the tattoo would prevent them from being able to be obliviated, the Wizards would start to investigate and then discover the tattoo in the end. That would show our cards too early I believe.

And then I would really like to show you the Wizard world but for that I would have to transfigure you into something that would not rise any alarm. So I came up with a rune array that we could apply to your palm so that you could switch permanently your outer appearance completely with your armor. It would have to be repeated on your hand as well and must be infused with an initial burst of magic, but then it would work nearly unlimited without frying you internally because it is directed outwards."

"An insta-disguise with which I could sneak around in the magic world? Fantastic! The rune on the armor is no problem but I will not remove it before we are at a safe distance. I brought a small test device with me to test for the magical field strength and it short circuited the moment I got into a hundred meters range of your magic waterfall.

If you want to keep your date with the esteemed wizengamot we will need to leave shortly, so maybe we should begin to say goodbye to the people. I think the children especially liked you a lot. The parents and people of age are really protective about them so they might be a bit restrained, but they will shake out of it probabbly when we come here next time."

"The next time I come here I will bring some special presents, maybe some brooms even. Quidditch in a low gravity environment will be much safer but much much faster as well…"

"Harry if you allow I will inform the Moon authorities that the water is a payment for another cave expansion for Looney Academy. You have no idea of how valuable water is here out in space. In the belt there are some large water ice asteroids, but on the planets and everywhere else you would already be a very wealthy man with that amount of water you conjured here. It must be equivalent to already 5 of the largest freighters who are delivering water to the moon. For obvious reasons you cannot get it from earth by using freighters and the elevators are too slow to transport large amounts. So the water comes from the Belts who basically shoot large iceballs in our direction that the freighters have to catch and decelerate."

"I want to adapt my garden gnome at first. One of the girls, Quixpin was her name gave me a drawing she made of me and she imagined me as a heroic Gandalf type. I think that would be even a nice outfit for the wizengamot session."

They were close to the perimeter of the Loony settlement when Harry applied the ward pattern to Fluffys armor gloves. He was a bit shocked when the robot handed him its complete hand and jumped back to a safe distance, so that he could apply the rune pattern and infuse it with magic.

"Don't try it now, I want it to be a surprise to the people, we will practice when we are back on our bone shaped super-secret evil Wizard spacefighter."

"But maybe we have to scare the harbormaster so that we can leave as easy as we arrived?" Fluffy begged but Harry just shook his head.

The harbormaster was absolutely forthcoming since he had already heard that it had been Harry who provided the water for the foreseeable future of the Alpha-One Moonstation. His eccentric fashion taste be damned, Harry was a hero today!

"Ok, there are four variants, you can take the armor off only when you are configured like now. The second form activates when you make a clockwise circle three times, it is the look of an elderly Wizard who had seen too many fights in his life. He was loud, distrusting but truthful once he was sure that you were really you. His name was Alastor Moody, but I am pretty sure nobody will remember him although he was the meanest and most successful Auror and Hitwizard who had ever worked for the ministry. The third one activates when you turn your palms counterclockwise five times. This is Fluffy the dog. I concentrated to make him much smaller than he really was and with only one head, but please do not try it out in here. He liked classical music by the way. The fourth one is something experimental and I will not say how to activate it until I deem it necessary. Or funny. You cancel the transfiguration by clapping three times fast.

Since the transfiguration process stops automatically when the rune array notices that something is induced with too much energy, I believe that your sensors, brain and motors are safe, but there is a small chance that you might short circuit again, so maybe you can try out Moody and if something is broken I will turn our ship around and we try to get you fixed."

"OK. This should be fun unless I explode. Hmmm, maybe that would be fun as well since it would be your fault and your death, for me it would only be another strange episode in the chapter of my life with the title: The way too many deaths of Fluffy the way to trusting robot by the hands of its moron friend Harry Potter." With that the robot pressed his palms together and circled three times clockwise.

The Stomtrooperrobot with too many stickers morphed into a quite dashing looking man of maybe 30 years. His long black hairs were bound back into a ponytail. He had some grizzly curse scars on his muscular chest, his eyes were completely black with now visible iris which had to be the rest of the Stormtrooper visor - and he was completely naked.

They were both silently mustering the new Fluffy that was definitely not looking like the Alastor Moody that Harry had known.

"Oh."

"Well Harry, not that I complain about your choice of men, but I think I am not this kind of robot." He turned around and craned his neck to look at his ass and flexed some muscles. "Wow, would you look at that!, I can flex muscles I don't have just by stressing the actuators!" He poked at his skin. "Only the sensory feedback is shit, but maybe that's because in truth I am still wearing the armor which had the same shitty feedback. Holy shit! I have reproductive attachments installed! - I will need to send a picture to the botnet immediately! Since I met you, I dominate the elections of strangest and unexpected experiences as well as destructive accidents and seeing new places. This will be the foundation of my eternal fame as the weirdest thing that any robot did forever. Come On! Selfie time!" He grabbed Harry by his shoulders and made a V gesture towards the partly mirroring front window.

Harry saw himself as the undersized Gandalf with his long staff reflected in the front window, grumpily standing next to an exited wanker of a sportive, longhaired foto model type man who currently demonstrated to his reflection in the window that he had real teeth.

"Tell me that I will have to eat food and go to the toilet and that will make my day completely perfect! I already have the most followers in the botnet, even more than our central coordination unit. What happened?"

"Magic! That happened!" Harry snapped, although he had to admit that it actually was funny.

"Obviously you never told me how old you are or how old you are regarding yourself. I just assumed that I did not have to make any adjustments, because I remembered that you said that the AIs were monitoring the earth for quite a while. But it wasn't you who was monitoring it, yes?"

"No."

"How old are you then?"

"My earliest self-conscious memory is 25 earth years old, when I booted there was already a lot of memories from the previous D and E Series Models and the previous F Series builds too to process in advance, which took a while, maybe 5 to 6 earth years? Are you saying that my real age had an impact on how the rune magic manifested this appearance?"

"Yes.

And I concede it IS rather funny." Harry smirked.
