alloys and appeared translucent. Inside each prism, tiny flickering lights could be seen joined together, very much like a network.
    “B1287-AT, turn on the dance music. This data backup routine is so boring. Are you trying to bore me to death?” Braini complained.
    “Positive.”
    “Which is positive? Turn on the dance music or trying to bore me to death?” Braini was confused.
    “Turn on dance music.”
    Data backup routine was a critical task and had to be done first thing in the morning. Usually it would take a few hours. Without music, Braini felt very bored. B1287-AT turned on the Psychon dance music for the past century. The computer complex was quickly turned into a music park. Vibrant futuristic space music filled the air. Braini was pleased.
    Suddenly, many of the slave-computers sent messages to B1287-AT. They wanted to be cleaned with anti-virus programmes. This was like bathing time for the computers. Anti-virus programme would scan a computer thoroughly for virus. Once found, the virus would be quarantined and deleted. The computer became clean again. Virus could harm a computer seriously which was why it had to be eradicated.
    With the loud space music playing in the background, B1287-AT hit one button after another in tandem to the beat of the music. Braini was happy to watch this performance.
    “Von Crammer Anti-virus version 2.4. Delete Trojan Horse, activate,” B1287-AT informed.
    “Super Virus Buster version 1.1. Delete Worm, activate,” B1287-AT said again, swaying its synthetic rubber body to the rhythm of the space music.
    “Pest Buster version 3.1. Delete Malware, activate,” B1287-AT rocked its body up and down.
    “Shoot The Bug version 2.5. Delete Adware, activate,” B1287-AT turned its body round and round.
    “Computer Shampoo version 1.2. Delete Zombie virus, activate,” B1287-AT tilted its body back and forth. Out of a sudden, B1287-AT puffed up its head like a balloon.
    "Ha..ha..ha," Braini laughed without emotion.
    B1287-AT did a series of upward body flips before finally landing squarely on the floor. Watching B1287-AT danced to the rhythm of hot music, Braini enjoyed itself thoroughly.
    After executing a host of anti-virus programmes for the slave-computers, B1287-AT went to take a look at the life-support system. It had to make sure that the environmental temperature was just right. The computers would complain if the temperature was either too hot or too cold. Electricity production capacity was normal. Lighting was sufficient. Humidity was bearable. Gravity was in equilibrium. Pressure was just right.
    “Life support system. Stable.” B1287-AT was doing its job well.
    Next, B1287-AT floated silently and entered the room in the next compartment. This was the room that housed the remote console for the computer factory production line.
    “All variables constant.” B1287-AT was satisfied that the computer factory was running well.
    “Wait. Problem at the repair shop.” B1287-AT detected a flickering red emergency light on one of the monitoring panels. B1287-AT flew to the repair shop to fix this problem.
    When B1287-AT floated into the repair shop, it saw the repair robot trying to put a motherboard into one of the computers which had malfunctioned. The memory chip had been damaged on the old motherboard, hence, this computer refused to boot up when the power was turned on. After a new motherboard was put in place and the power turned on, this computer struggled for a while and then went dead. The repair robot was confused and did not know what to do. It ran around the room several times. B1287-AT went near the faulty computer, extended its robot arms and made connections with the internal circuitry through one of the plug-in sockets on the faulty computer. After running some diagnostic tests on the motherboard, it found that this was an incompatible board and told the repair robot to get the correct one. When a new motherboard was fixed inside, the faulty computer slowly
