1courier watches the robots make a beeline straight for him. He knows that running is pointless. The robots are the newest of their kind. With enhanced hardware, they are faster than any human. In fact, they are faster than most machines, as well. Therefore, he stands perfectly still, while holding the cargo.
It wasn’t that he was worried about losing the cargo. Instead, he decides to toss the cargo off the cliff if the robot gets any closer. Let the fancy new robots chase it down the hill. He grins, thinking about the herd of robots tumbling down after the cargo. Then he makes ready for the toss. This was going to be close.

However, he doesn’t even have time to blink. The first of the robots is holding the cargo, before 1courier is aware the robot has taken it from him. And that he was no longer holding the cargo. Furthermore, the other four robots have lifted the ride off of the ground. They are carrying it to the cliff’s edge as 1courier is finally able to blink. The robot standing before him, who is now holding the delivery cargo, whistles a familiar tune.
1courier is uncertain if the robot is messing with him, or simply acting out its programming. Then the robot whistles again, as the other four, toss the vehicle over the cliffs edge. He has time to think, yes it is messing with me, before the other four robots are standing around him, in a semi-circle. He feels slightly perplexed, but definitely impressed, with the fancy new hardware of the robots.
1courier decides there will likely be no tip on this one. There is no time for lamenting his luck, because the four robots now lift him, into the air. It looks as though he is going to follow the ride down the hill. The very steep hill.

As they near the edge of the cliff, the robot with the cargo, hands something to 1courier. It appears he has just been tipped. Now it appears he is about to be dropped. However, he is quickly carried down the side of the drop-off, and placed next to his ride. It is waiting on the road. The robots were apparently very adept with their fancy new hardware.
He watches the robots quickly scale the hill. The daring delivery is complete. Furthermore, 1courier now knows, what all the fuss is about. He grins. Robots are cool. The m-com link flashes. HQ is ready with another off the wall delivery. He accepts the run without so much as a glance. It is time to go.

The road winds away into the horizon. 1courier slams the accelerator to the floor. The ride blazes forward. The new delivery is a challenge, in and of itself. It is the hidden delivery and HQ is counting on him to find it. Now would be a good time for the appearance of a helpful robot. He grins. If wishes were horses, he thinks, and pushes the ride for all it’s worth. Never once, does he notice the robot. It is crouched low, and attached to the top of the ride. Now, the robot grins.
