Synopsis[]

This is a tale of Magnus before he became the protector of North Am. As a young man constantly training to fight rogue robots, Magnus begins feeling burned-out. On advice from Grandmother, 1-A decides to take Magnus on a vacation to Mars. There, Magnus thwarts a Freewill plan to kidnap the Martian Governor's daughter! Returning the girl to her family, Magnus heads back to Earth with 1-A, once again eager to train.^[1]

Quotes[]

Every day of training is important. You cannot walk away.

-- 1-A

Watch me! First one leg-- then the other leg. All perfectly balanced-- just as you have trained me.

-- Magnus

How will your people be protected. If you stop training?

-- 1-A

People? What people? We're hiding on the bottom of the ocean. Around here, I can only save the whales.

-- Magnus

You have been a freewill for 400 years and still think like a standard issue rob -- in straight-logical-ponderous lines. Not like a human, at all. Is the boy normal? --- You know, darling -- does he have all his parts?

-- Grandmother

You really are deficient. Refresh your "programming." Consider it part of the training. Ultimately, he must learn to mix with humans. But right now, he needs a vacation.

-- Grandmother

It seems I have been delinquent concerning a part of your training. Studying all of the sciences and social structures, we need to study vacations.

-- 1-A

Remember! Treat me like a Servant-Rob.

-- 1-A

With pleasure!!

-- Magnus

Some savior! My first battle... failure...
