"Finally!"said Lance, as he climbed out of the vehicle. "Get out of my sight!"he told the robots whom Klorissa had sent to meet him. "I think I can find my own way!"
He saw Klorissa's image.
"Don't send stupid robots after me any more!"he told her.
She looked surprised.
"I don't like them, and I can do things for myself."
"Uh, well, um, they're going to do your gene analysis."she told him.
"It just better be you or someone else, not a robot. I don't want them anywhere in my sight. I don't even wanna know that they exist."
"Robots couldn't do that. There's need for a blood sample, and the trauma of putting a needle in human flesh, and seeing human blood would be too much for the positronic brain. A person would have to do it."
"B-blood?"
"Of course."
"Wouldn't a strand of my hair do?"
She looked confused.
"A robot will lead you."
Lance did not protest. He followed the robot, trying to get himself ready for the blood drawing. He'd never liked being poked with needles. Especially not when they were going to go inside his vein. He gulped.
"There's nothing to it."he told himself. "It's just a little poke, and I won't even remember!"
He began to breathe faster, and sat down,and held out his arm.
"Just take it from my hand, please. I can't stand when they take it from my arm. I've got better veins in my hand, see!"
He watched as it was wiped with alcohol, and the needle went in. He clawed at the air, trying to distract himself. Once it was over, he almost ran out of the room. He sighed.
"Thank goodness we got that over with."he said.
"Dr.Cantoro shall have the results this afternoon, Master."said the robot.
"Shut your mouth. I don't even want to know you exist!"he yelled at it.
"I'm bored, yo."said Toad.
"Yeah."Fred answered. "There's only the same people to watch. Never anything new."
"I want some action."said Pietro. "R, get the robots in here!"
He touched a contact patch. A robot entered at once.
"Get more of you in here!"
"Yes, Master."
More robots entered.
"Okay, now all of you, start fighting!"
The robots stared.
"Didn't you hear? Start fighting!"
"We do not understand, Master."
"You start hitting each other, and tearing each other apart!"
The robots began to wrestle. An arm fell. Toad grabbed it with his tongue, and began hitting the other robots with it. Fred got up and began to throw robots across the room. Pietro touched the contact patch several times.
"More robots! More robots!"
Soon, the room was filled with robots. Pietro ran to get a wrench and began to remove the chest plates on the robots quickly. He began to pick them up in the tornado he created. One robot fell on Fred.
"That didn't hurt! I'm the Blob!"he yelled and he ripped the robot in half and threw the pieces.
"AAAHHH!"Toad screamed as he was almost hit in the face with a robot's head.
A robot caught the head before it hit Toad's face.
"Throw it at Pietro, yo."Toad told him.
The robot did as it was told. The head hit he window and landed outside.
"Masters! Masters!"R.Daneel came running into the room.
"Join the fight, yo."Toad told him.
R.Daneel simply looked around.
"More robots! The room is a mess and it will need to be repaired, along with the robots that have been immobilized and destroyed! House robots! Ground robots! There is work to be done in the east wing! Get some ground robots to help! Any watering, pruning, digging, can wait! Right now what's important is to get these robots fixed and the room back in order."
"Yeah, and we're almost out!"complained Fred. "We need more!"
"I shall send to a neighboring estate for more robots!"said R.Daneel. "Master Lance shall be back soon! I must meet him as he dislikes the robots but does not object to me!"
"More robots, yo."
"Quite incredible!"said Dr.Cantoro to Dr.Delmarre. "I've never seen such a thing on a gene analysis."
"We must send a robot."
"He's outside. He loves to play with the children. He can discipline them so well! But he doesn't allow robots. He's not fond of them."she told him.
"Not fond of robots?"
She shook her head.
"It's rather odd. Whenever he sees one, the ground starts to shake. And anyway, I think he left for the day."
Lance got back to the estate, and met R.Daneel.
"I'm hungry. Is dinner ready?"
"It will take a little longer, Master. The robots are not in good working order."
They walked in the room where robot part were scattered all over.
"What happened here?"
"Great match, yo."
"Brotherhood against robot boys."said Pietro. "Couldn't keep up with us."
"Yeah, they were too puny."said Fred.
"Get these things out of here! And this room!"
"More robots shall come and see to it, Masters. I think dinner is ready!"
They walked out of the room, towards the dining room.
