It isn’t often that he’s late. Sometimes it is impossible to be early. A fall down a sink hole, is one example. This wasn’t incomplete delivery. It was a fall. However, it was the beginning of being late. He looks at the robot, as the ride blisters down the highway.
Indeed, it is an impressive machine to begin with. The robot. He wouldn’t believe it was real, except for all the mind link connecting he had going on. He grins and thinks, – a penny for your thoughts? This becomes an uproar of laughter in his mind. The robot continues to stare straight ahead.
1courier is surprised at the somber tone. Therefore, he checks the navigation map and they are on course. No thanks to the sink hole. That had been a near thing. Furthermore, he is still astounded at the way they had escaped. It is uncanny how things happen like that. One moment all is fine. Then the next moment, not so much.

With this in mind, he checks the robot again. What if it had become damaged in the fall through the sinkhole? He thinks back, and tries to remember the details. They had begun to fall as the ground beneath them caved in. Additionally, 1courier knew the drop would be extreme. Therefore, he went to activate the emergency braking system.
That is when several things happened simultaneously. A front compartment on the unusually designed ride must have triggered. The cable and grappling hook were launched. Then the hook lodged into the asphalt of the road. As the remainder of the ground fell away, 1courier and the ride were left dangling over the edge of the sinkhole.
The machine winched its way up the cable. Then they were out in no time. 1courier still feels amazed at the speed with which they had recovered. In the past, that type of event would have jammed everything up. Perhaps even set him back for days.
He watches the road, looking for the landmark that will indicate they have found the place. Additionally it will appear from thin air. This is the only detail listed in the m-com link. It isn’t the typical way of things, but job done, is job done. At this precise moment the robot turns to look at 1courier.

Robot Interface: The courier’s mind is a mess of lost places and networks of roads on countless worlds. Then there is all the humor the courier attempts. With one look into the courier’s mind it is easy to see where all the bad jokes come from. However it is not a lost cause. The mind link may yet help the courier with the scattered memories of endless roads.
There is no hope for the humor. The point of the link is to become hyper aware of the signal that will soon arrive. In this way it is possible to look to the upcoming event, and see it materialize. Almost as though looking into the future. However, it is only similar to looking in the future.
1courier slams the brakes and the ride slides to a stop. Furthermore, it is not in any one location. He looks at the robot and can’t resist knowing. Therefore he asks.
“You don’t like my jokes?” The robot does not turn but looks straight ahead. 1courier is thinking about searching out an online joke course, as the sign they have been waiting for finally shows.
