"I can't believe we had to come back," West said.

"That diamond currency turned out not to be something exclusive to his side," Judith said.

"This is a cave to remember," West said.

"Certainly," Judith said, putting on dark gloves as they went on deeper into the cave.

"You know, I am the first to say I am happy to see Will smiling again," West said.

"Because of the Robot," Judith acknowledged.

"Yes," West said, tossing a diamond into his knapsack. "The Robot."

They were silent, collecting diamonds and other related jewels from the rock that was more exposed than before. Judith seem to be bothered by something on her mind.

"Do you think he is really dead?" Judith asked. "We thought they had taken apart the Robot. What if we're wrong about Doctor Smith?"

West looked up from the collection of diamonds before him.

"I can't say for sure," West said. "We left him on a alternate Alpha Prime A. He did what he did best: sabotage systems and lie to everyone around him. Play them like a fiddle."

"Mutating," Judith said, with a shudder. "If he is still around, he might be used as a weapon."

"Worse," West said. "A lab rat."

"It's best off that he's dead," Judith said.

"So he has to be dead by now," West carefully picked up a group of diamonds then chucked them into the bag. "Global Sedition doesn't like to be fooled by a ex-employee. . ." he looked at the sparkling, bright gem that lit his face up. "Even if our Smith is still alive, he might be facing a fate worse than death."

Judith nodded.

"A possibility," Judith said, shaking her head. "And we can't do a thing to know."

"We're outnumbered," West said. "And we would get shot down if we went back."

"Schrodinger's Smith," Judith said. "We don't know if he is alive or dead. He could be both. Technically, that is true."

"One Smith running around very much alive and the other is dead," West said, then he faked a laugh. "Very funny."

"It's a cruel joke," Judith said, shaking her head.

A loud boom came from across the two that disturbed the cave even knocking them over. West used himself as a shield for Judith. They waited until the cave settled inbetween the trembling, the sounds of diamonds crashing to the floor, and the cave's faint groans fading away. West opened his eyes then looked down to see Judith's eyes were squeezed shut. The major sighed, relieved. West slowly lifted himself up to see a large gaping hole from the other side. It was a very colorful hole with multiple colors reflecting off the rock. He dropped the sack to his side then stepped closer. He saw a large, gigantic purple gun in the distance from the other side of the cave. Three figures came forward toward their direction with a distinctive glow surrounding them. A short woman with red, finely kept hair in a purple outfit came forward with her hands clasped together and a colorful blonde woman was walking after her as did a man. She was surrounded by a golden glow. Her youthful, well aging features were complimented by the hopeful colors. She was a very bright woman.

"I am Mrs Robinson," Maureen introduced herself. "Did you see a graying man come here earlier?"

"Can't miss him," came the slightly brownish man from beside her. "He screams like a little girl. Major West."

"Sorry," Judith said, noticing the blue eyed blonde woman coming to Don's side. "Doctor Smith left a long time ago."

Don looked confused, Maureen's face was decorated in alarm, and a friendly expression was replaced by shock on Judy's face. It had to be her counterpart as she was the oldest of the other children.

"Just how long ago?" Maureen asked.

"Three months ago," West said.

"No, no," Don shook his hand. "no, it can't have been three months," Don said. "It's been two weeks since this accident."

"That's how long it has been to us," Judith said.

"Where is he?" Maureen asked.

"Somewhere that has some kind of disaster. He is part of the space doctors without borders these days," West said. "He really wanted to go to prison when we crossed paths him at first. Losing that close friend hurt him."

"I never seen anyone that hurt about it enough to lose their color," Judith said. "Logically, that's impossible for his body. He didn't eat for five days. He had some bad hallucinations. He held himself personally responsible. I am Doctor Rogers, I treated his cuts."

"Dean Wickles," West said. "I was the reason why this princess was out here in a cave." he rubbed the back of his neck, nervously. "Helped him back to the ship."

The group stared at Judith and West as though they were skeptical. The Robinsons shared glances with each other just to be sure they were hearing what they thought was coming from Judith then back on toward the duo.

"Will is not dead," Maureen said.

Judith and West's eyebrows raise up.

"But. . ." West said. "He was convinced. We didn't hear the kid calling for help."

"Will has been in a coma back at the Jupiter," Don said. "No improvements so far."

"We have been talking to him," Maureen said. "but I think he is not really paying attention to our voices. John is waiting by Will's beside."

"That's terrible," Judith said.

"Now, can you care to tell us where you left him?" Don asked. "I like to see Will up and talking."

"He left himself," West said. "I know, it's unbelievable, but he went out and got a friend of ours back. Sent them back, actually." West stopped once he saw a familiar Robot that seemed bulky and at best, simple. Judith stared at the Robot, in shock, seeing its colorful, silver figure. Maureen turned in the direction of the Robot.

"Robot, what is it?" Maureen asked.

"Professor Robinson wanted to know if you found him," The Robot said, West's eyes grew big watching the familiar grill glow. The Robot's head bobbed down conveying sadness. "Due to the absence of Doctor Smith that is a no."

"Can't help you with that," West said, shaking his head apologetically.

"Uh huh," Don said, not convinced.

"This cave connects to somewhere," Maureen said. "We didn't detect your ship from outside."

"We're explorers," Judith said. "From the planet Gadious."

"Not military," West said. "We stole a spaceship and went with it."

"Different ends of the universe, thousands of light years away, and I think there is something you can help us with," Maureen said.

"We don't know where he is," Judith said. "Space doctors without borders, remember?"

"Knowing Smith, he is likely in trouble," Don said. "He is not always in good hands when he thinks he is after awhile. Wherever disaster or trouble is going on, there is bound to be Smith in the middle of it. Anything, you name it. He is the source of it. And you've got something that can bring us there sooner rather than later."

"How. . ." West said.

"Let's just say we've met friendly, helpful aliens like you since being lost in space," Maureen said.

"I will return to the Jupiter 2 and inform the professor," The Robot said.

"Tell John we'll be coming back with Doctor Smith, soon," Maureen said.

"Affirmative," The Robot said, then turned around and returned through the exit.

West rubbed his chin watching the Robot wheeling away in the distance.

"I gotta make a call to Jake," West said. "Be right back."

"Jake is the leader of the expedition," Judith explained. "Unlike you, we don't have a handy robot to help us around."

West overheard the last part of the sentence. He wasn't going to let them know that they had left behind their own version of Smith. He can easily foresee the disbelief and confusion on their faces then insisting that they go about at a different way which would ordinarily mean their capture and certain doom. Zachary wouldn't look the same and might not be the same person physically. West made it to the Chariot then slid open a door and leaped into the dimly lit inside. He picked up the head set from the console then placed it on his face. He moved the small microphone along his mouth.

"Chariot to Jupiter 2, Chariot to Jupiter 2," West called.

"Jupiter 2 here," John's voice came over.

"John, it's good to hear you," West said. "And you're not going to believe this."
