Galactic: The Superhuman Robot

The beginning of summer vacation:

Galactic thinks, “I want to do something interesting this summer. I don’t want to sit around at home and not accomplish anything.” The phone rings.

Galactic: “Hello; yes, this is Galactic. Who’s calling?”

Alexander: “This is Alexander Brezhnev calling from Estonia. I’m one of the creators of Russian superhuman robots based in Estonia and Russia. We would like to meet with you and view the similarities between you and our superhumans.”

Galactic: Galactic is stunned. “Can you repeat that please?” Alexander repeats what he said.

Galactic: “How did you get my number?”

Alexander: “There were photos and information of you on facebook.”

Galactic: “I never gave out my number.”

Alexander: “I have ways of getting what I want.”

Galactic: “What does that mean; you’re a spy or something more sinister?”

Alexander: “Of course not. I’m one of the Russian creators of superhuman robots. I would like to introduce you to one of our superhumans.”

Galactic: “I would have to contact my creators to see if that’s permissible. I’ll get back to you and perhaps my creators would want to meet with you.”

Alexander: “Great, here’s my number.”

Galactic contacts one of his creators to tell him about the call he received from Alexander Brezhnev.

Creator: “He probably wants to know how you were created and what fuel you’re using for flight, but since you don’t have most of that information, you’ll be safe. Don’t answer any of his questions that pertain to you. The only way you can be harmed is if you’re exposed to extreme temperatures for more than a day. Wear your protective gear and you’ll be safe. Keep me updated.”

Galactic: “Thanks. I’ll be careful.” Galactic plans to meet Alexander at Kennedy Airport at the United Airlines terminal in a half hour. She takes off at 1:00 PM and is at the terminal in five minutes. She sees a heavyset man with a grey beard.

Galactic thinks, “He looks Russian” and asks, “Are you Alexander?”

Alexander: “Yes, Galactic I presume. You’re very pretty. Let’s go on the plane, meet the other creators and Sergey, one of our superhuman robots.

Galactic: “Why do we have to go on the plane?”

Alexander: “Because this is all top secret and our plane is safe from cameras and recorders.”

Little does Alexander know that Galactic has an automated camera and recorder that are always on.

Galactic: “After our meeting, what’s the plan?”

Alexander: “We’d like to take you to Estonia to show you where our superhuman robots are created.”

Galactic thinks, “This might be a trap, but I’m ready for anything.”

Galactic goes on board, meets the other creators and the Russian superhuman.”

Alexander: “Galactic, this is Sergey, one of our superhuman robots.”

Sergey: “I’m so happy to meet you. I’ve been waiting for this a very long time.”

Galactic: “Me too. I’m astounded how human you look.”

Sergey: “You also look human; it’s amazing. Let’s go to the lounge where we can talk in private and get to know one another.” He turns to Alexander and asks, “Is that okay?”

Alexander: “Yes, go ahead. We’ll have a meeting in an hour.”

Sergey discusses his unique capabilities. Galactic is surprised to find out that Sergey’s top flying speed is only forty miles an hour. Galactic does not disclose much about her capabilities.

Soon Sergey’s tone changes. He whispers, “I need your help. They’re holding me captive. They control everything I do. I need to escape. Their plan is to take you to Estonia and question you about your creation and your capabilities. They’re not your friends. Let’s get out of here now.”

Galactic: “How can they keep you a captive? You can fly away at any time and if they shoot, you won’t be harmed.”

Sergey: “They will harm my relatives.”

Galactic: “Don’t worry, I’ll help you. I don’t have all the information on how I was created so they won’t learn much from me. Let’s move towards the door of the plane.”

Galactic looks out the window and sees that the plane is taking off. He says, “Sergey, the plane’s off the ground.”

Sergey: “How are we going to get out of here now?”

Galactic: “That’s not a problem. I’ll kick the door in. Grab on to my waist and we’ll fly out of here.”

They walk to the front of the plane.

Alexander: “I see you’ve gotten to know each other. You’re friends now, yeah?”

Galactic: “Yeah, but we’re not going to Estonia.”

Alexander: “It’s already been arranged.”

Galactic: “That’s what you think?”

Galactic shows Alexander her FBI badge. You’d better let us go or you’ll be arrested for attempted kidnaping. She punches Alexander and threatens the other men on board. She kicks the door open and with Sergey holding on flies from the plane.

Alexander: “I underestimated that f…..g American superhuman. She hasn’t seen the last of me.”
