hanging on his robot arm. He was dumbfounded. He didn’t know what to say. “Clancy, sit down”, the fairy robot said while pulling over a chair. She reached over, turned off his vacuum and looked him right in the eyes. “Clancy, my name is Glenda. I am your fairy robot mother. My job is to watch out for you. Today, I was alerted by Queen Charise in Robotica that you are ready to hear the good news.” Clancy was stunned. “News?”, he said. “What news?”.

The Adventures of Superbot, continued

Glenda continued, “You were not supposed to be a domestic robot. You are actually Queen Charise’s son. You were stolen by a band of robot smugglers during the Robotica Revolution of 2057.”

Clancy just about fell out of his seat. “So Queen Charise is my mother?” “Yes, Clancy”, Glenda went on, “You were created from refurbished components harvested from Queen Charise during the war. The Robotica Council wanted to preserve as much of the queen as possible in case the unthinkable occurred.” “You mean in case Queen Charise was destroyed by the enemy.” Clancy said. “Yes, exactly.”, Glenda went on, “The Robotica resistance was strong and had won a few important battles. The council did not want to take any chances.”

“Now hold on a minute, Glenda”, Clancy said. He was starting to become angry. “This is all very interesting, but why should I care? I have a very happy life now and I have no intention of running back to Robotica just because you told me Queen Charise is my mother.” Glenda said, “Clancy, you have to care. You see, hidden within you is a secret code that unlocks magical powers. Crack the code, and you become Superbot!”

Clancy said, “That’s enough! I want you to leave right now!” Glenda said, “Ok, I see you are upset. I will give you some time to think this over.” With a POP, POP, POP, SWOOSH, Glenda was gone. Clancy sat for three seconds more and immediately went back to work. “Forget Glenda, forget Robotica, forget Queen Charise. I like my life and I am not going to change!

You see, nothing like this had every happened to Clancy. Every day was always the same. Wash the dishes, recharge, vacuum and clean the floors, recharge, do laungry, recharge, go outside and mow, recharge and then do everything all over again. When the family went to bed, so did Clancy, so to speak. Although Clancy could continue working through the night, the family liked to give him rest to fully recharge his batteries. Clancy loved the Franks. He loved stability. He loved his predictable life.

Will Glenda convince Clancy to give up his cozy life with the Franks to become Superbot? How will Clancy crack the code? Will Clancy visit his mother in Robotica? Stay tuned for more “Adventures of Superbot!” in the next Paradise Robotics newsletter.
