Space Bot was blasting through a relatively unmapped part of his galaxy one day when he sensed a large amount of DARK MATTER on his long-range sensor screen. He found this odd, because he'd sold his entire sensor grid last week for three rides on the Space Wheel at Argon 7, but he figured, hey, when you're a Space Bot, some strange things can happen.
Deciding to look into the possibility of acquiring some DARK MATTER, which the Space Bot used for fuel, our cosmic hero diverted his path toward the signal he was receiving. He landed on a small, blue planet with one moon that appeared to be run by a strange, four-limbed, two-eyed species that scratched themselves a lot and said, "What are YOU looking at, ya frickin' robot?"
Suddenly, Space Bot's fuel meter went to zero. Somehow, he had failed to notice how low he was in DARK MATTER. Shuddering at the thought of being stranded on such a rock as that one, he set off to zero in on the readings he was receiving. He made his way into a building in a large city that had a long row of vending machines in a lobby in the basement. Space Bot's mysteriously reacquired sensor grid was informing him that the DARK MATTER was coming from somewhere very close by.
Suddenly, however, an alarm in one of his space sub routines went off! According to that alarm, his old companion turned nemesis The Fancy Monkey was somewhere nearby, and his space sub routine was picking up that loathsome creature's DNA.
Just then, the lights in the building went out and Space Bot was hit in the head with something that, by its weight, composition and trajectory, Space Bot calculated could only be an empty Dasani plastic water bottle! His enemy was obviously nearby. Just then, he heard a long, loud screech.
"RRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
And for the first time in quite a long time, Space Bot felt fear.
See what happens next week in the continuation of The Casual Adventures of Space Bot!!!
