Tales of the Courier – Better rate than clever
When the chips are down there’s only two ways out. One of them is not the easy way. 1courier watches the swimming fish race toward him, as they plummet toward the river below. If the robot had a miracle save, now would be a good time.
The image that forms from the link embedded in his head is easy to understand. It is about the robot. And it is swimming. Doing the backstroke, in fact. 1courier grins, this was getting more interesting by the minute. Not only are they all about to take a swim but also, anything other than sinking was off the table.
Tales of the Courier
They strike the water soundly. The resulting splash is enormous and the ride immediately begins to sink beneath the waves. 1courier feels the effect of gravity on the sea, however there is also the presence of an additional, unexpected force. Buoyancy.
Furthermore, the strangely designed machine begins rising from the plunge. Within seconds they are moving quickly through the river toward the far shore. 1courier feels stunned, but not surprised, as he watches the fish swim around them now.
As they near the far shore, 1courier wonders if all the future HQ machines will float. Moreover, he thinks flying might also be a good idea. The ride’s horn honks, and the lights flash. It seemed flight wasn’t just a human interest. 1courier grins. The robot remains motionless.
Within minutes they are on the other side and climbing from the river. The unique and artfully designed vehicle accesses the road easily. It adapts easily to subtle terrain changes. In fact, this machine has handled every terrain they’ve encountered so far.

As they gain the roadway again, 1courier pushes the machine for all it’s worth. They entered the province of Nalphia when they climbed from the river. According to HQ’s instructions they should be arriving at the newly formed way station, soon.
With this in mind, 1courier checks the maps once more. Then, he double checks with the images from the AI. There could be no mistake. Furthermore, they would be arriving within fifteen minutes. The m-com link flashes. He is surprised that HQ is still using it considering the link embedded in his brain, is functioning so well.
However, it could be a result of some problems from the swim. He looks at the robot expecting a reaction. The robot remains motionless. Furthermore, it has continued to stare out the front windshield since their drop in the river.
1courier thumbs the m-com link. Then he feels slightly perplexed with HQ and he blinks. This isn’t the message he was expecting. Not so close to the drop-off location. The ride is picking up speed as they careen down the highway now. 1courier looks at the silent robot sitting beside him.
HQ was firm in the message on the m-com. He has the wrong robot. Now the robot moves at last, and it turns its head to look at 1courier.
