prevent Psychon Computer Complex from being damaged.
    The killer asteroids finally hit planet M221 at the Barock Tectonic Fault. Earthquakes lasting for hours shook the Barock Continent which were unseen in the history of M221. The ground broke and gave way for kilometres on end. The entire continent sank some distance into the ocean. This resulted in the formation of massive tidal waves more than five hundred metres high. Before long, these gigantic waves broke the coastal line and flooded the lowland. Destruction was everywhere. Nothing was spared. Psychon Computer Complex was submerged in water. Fortunately, it was protected by the Dome. On the Great Plateau, the early inhabitants heard of the killer asteroid disaster on radio and television. They were glad that they could escape the massive tidal waves. Water could not reach this piece of highland.
    B1287-AT was flying higher and higher up into the sky. Suddenly, a gigantic wave came crashing down on the tiny slave-robot. It was swept away by the water. It quickly got out of the water and tried to fly upwards. At this time of emergency, it sent out a distress signal with all its remaining power. Another big wave caught it again and dragged it into the water. It tried to get out of the water, but was unable to do so as it had insufficient power left.
    Sinking deeper and deeper into the waters, B1287-AT was dying slowly. The ocean water was slightly corrosive and reacted with the metallic alloy on parts of B1287-AT’s body. Water gushed into the tiny robot. Many of its internal circuits were damaged. It shut down all its vital functions. Just before it went out of order, many images flashed through its memory bank. The first time it opened its robot eyes and saw the computer factory, where it was assembled. The images of Braini and all the other slave-computers. The images of Psychon Computer Complex. The images of the repair robot at the repair shop. The images of the killer asteroids. These images flashed inside B1287-AT’s memory until corrosive water came into contact with its memory chips. The entire motherboard was corroded. Electrical power was no longer able to flow through it anymore and the robot ceased to function. B1287-AT sank until it reached the bottom of the water. It was cold and dark all around. The corrosive water ate into its metallic body parts. B1287-AT remained a lonely robot, all alone in the world.
    Procyon A is a medium-size star, similar to our sun, with a slightly higher surface temperature of 6000 degree Celsius. BURGER123 approached the second inner-most planet of this star-system.
    “My, my, such a beauty. DATA, which planet are we approaching?” Mrs. Andersen asked.
    ”Planet M221 from star system, Procyon A. M221 has Earth-like atmospheric conditions. In the course of its evolution, machine has triumphed over living thing. My sensor detects a massive tidal wave has just occurred on this planet. The diameter of its orbit has enlarged by four hundred kilometres. Average surface temperature is 35 degree Celsius,” DATA reported.
    Mrs. Andersen was pinning a collar-pin device, called a language-modem, on Antonio's collar. After she had finished with Antonio, she pinned one on Samuel's collar too. Nikita and Melissa helped each other with the pinning of their collar-pin devices. Only Chen Wei had some difficulty as he struggled alone with his 'language modem'. Seeing him in such a fix, Nikita took the collar-pin device from him and helped him to pin it on. He grinned at her in return. This tiny language-modem was a proprietary product of the Milky Way Federation of Stars, manufactured under strict quality control. It contained a micro-chip for alien language translation. This was a two-way language translator device. All known aliens in the Milky Way galaxy who had joined the Milky Way Federation of Stars had their languages encoded in this micro-chip. Any intelligent, living creature who possessed this micro-chip would be able to talk to
