The Scientists' Ideas

  

  

     One day, in NASA space station there was two geology scientists who were called Adham and Kareem. They wanted to know more about the asteroid belt. They were best friends for twenty years. Each of them had conflicts with everybody even their families, because they work a lot and they work most of the day in the lab. Sometimes they don't see their families and they always talk about work and results in the lab. Each day after work, they have to discuss their ideas and hope to explore the asteroid belt. They take long time to discuss and then they have to come back home at midnight. They have three hours between each shift. Adham has blonde, short hair, he's tall. He likes work and hates

conflicts. Kareem has dark brown hair, he's short. He's like Adham (likes work and hates conflicts)

     One day, a rock from the asteroid belt fell down. It fell around the U.S.A. When the station knew that, they rapidly sent two scientists to the place where the rock fell. They were very happy because it's a sample of the asteroid belt.

     The next day, they tried to know more about the rock, but they didn't have enough technology. Suddenly, a NASA car came to pick up the massive rock.

     In the lab, Kareem said, "Let's go up to the space and explore the asteroid belt by direct eye and take samples." He told him-self all that. Adham was taking it more seriously than him. He said whispering to Kareem, "Let's open it" he meant the rock. After thinking, they opened the rock. It looked bleach black. They tested it again. The result was that there is life inside the rock. They got confused. That took place 3 o'clock a.m. in NASA station.

     The next day, the two scientists tested the internal part of the organ. They printed the result and gave it to biggest scientist in the station to give them the information about this confusion. Two hours later, the scientist said, "This rock is not from the asteroid belt." They talked together to go on a rocket to the asteroid

belt to take samples to study them in the station's lab. The suggestion was from the manager of the NASA station. The two scientists got scared when the manager called them to his office. As they were inside, they found the suggestion on the desk. The manager turned his chair. His face looked happy and cheerfully for the idea. Suddenly, he said, "Please, have your seats."They did. "I like your idea," said the manager. "Yes!" said the scientists. "But until the rocket is ready we should make tests and we'll start tomorrow, "He said. The scientists came back home very happy.

     The next day, they came to the testing section in the station; they wore the space suits and went for flying. The ground was a structure of the moon, and they walked on it and passed the test with successes. They were satisfied.

     Ten months later, they were not ready they still have to know the right path to the asteroid belt, but the rocket was ready to be launch up. When they were ready, the station took the two austronts into a thing like a video game. Kareem took the test like childish boy playing a video game. When it is Adham's turn, he took it very serious. Suddenly, he felt stressed and failed in test. Adham was sad, but the manager wanted to give him a new chance. Adham sobbed, "Okay, but tomorrow." Then he went home sadly and alone by himself.

  

     The next day, he came back to the station and tried to find his success by himself. He couldn't stay serious in things; he likes to be childish. So he passed.

     Six hour later, the scientists in the station came to see their final results. Adham was stressed, but he passed the test with high level. So he will ride the rocket. Kareem was happy with the success that Adham made.

     When the rocket is put together both scientists were ready so they inspect the fuel of the rocket. "It is not full", the mechanics said. That was one of the problems they had during the flight. "Tomorrow, we want the fuel or we'll not ever use your fuel again, because you get it late," the space station said. "But…," "I don't want to hear any thing; I want the fuel tomorrow." The manager closed the phone angrily. Suddenly, the two scientists went inside angrily and asked, "Why are we too late? We want to go to the asteroid belt!" The manager didn't know what to say. He whispered, "Call the fuel station and you'll know what you want.

     The next day, the fuel came, but half filled and nobody knew. The rocket looked like to two paced to each other. It had the flag of the U.S.A. on it side and it had five windows and one door. It is about thirty-five levels high that hugged three cylinders. In the middle there was a big pusher. It is used to send the rocket to space.

     At the sun rise, Adham and Kareem opened their sleepy eyes. When they were in the station, suddenly, a rocket engineer called Shady; he is the one going to make calls with the austronts. Shady came and said," Are you the two austronts? The engine should come on a ship, but the ship sank. It will come on a plane between two to five hours." "Ok, but what about the radar of ca…" Adham was interrupted. "One minute I'll answer the call." Shady said as he went away.

     Adham said, "Let us go to see the manager!" They went walking until they reached the office. Before they knocked the door, the manager opened the door and said, "Here you are! The engine is coming on plane 300. Go and get it." They rode the truck and went to the international air port. They bought the engine and came back by nine p.m.

     The next day, they were trying to select a location. Suddenly, they made a decision to shoot the rocket from where the astorid fell. Each one had a job to do; Adham used the camera to picture the place. By sun rises they were moving toward the located place. It was a very long way. There were many trucks going after each other. They slept in the bus.

Kareem and Adham's rocket

     At sun rise, there were in the place. They started to build the support for the rocket. There were many engineers building it. By night they have finish one-fourth of the support. They started to make tents for sleeping and each four people had a tent.

     Suddenly, all of them woke up on the truck's sound. It was the shuttle with large metal pushers. They said, "No it comes after three days not now." The rider replayed "The manager said to bring the rocket and some workers to help."

     At 12:00 a.m. they've finished. They centered the rocket in the chosen place, but the fuel didn't come yet.

     At the next day, they called the gas station and a conservation was taking place between the two managers. "Hello, the rocket fuel station." "Yes." "Our fuel didn't come yet." "What number is your package?" "9917" "Let me see…It was sent to NASA station." "No, bring it by Lincoln Road and fill it from there."

After that, they waited nervously. By three more hours, the fuel was there. It was half filled tank. They started to fill the rocket, but they forgot to put the radar for calls.

     One more hour, there was in the rocket and everything was ready. Suddenly the manager stopped everything and remembered that he didn't order the rocket count down for the rocket to fire up.

     The next day, the manager didn't believe himself. "Two days to make a countdown." he screamed. The e-mail

was written in cursive by Computer Companies. Then an e-mail came to him saying:

Dear NASA Station:

                                We knew about your flight to space. We wanted to help you. We like to tell you that there are special computers in the way to the station. They are programmed to do a count down. Don't try to program them again. They will come by 5:30 p.m. today.

   

     "Okay, I'm going to go now, bye!" the manager said. When every thing was ready, the countdown started,"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1……..go!!!" Finally, the rocket fired up and went firing trough the sky!

Exploring Space

     The rocket started to get higher and higher tell it pass the Troposphere. The temperature was getting lower. It passed the Stratosphere. Temperature got higher again. It hardly passed the Mesosphere and the Thermosphere. The rocket was going to explode when passing the Exosphere.

     After half an hour of passing the atmosphere, the three metal pushers just left the shuttle and fell on Earth. Kareem pressed many buttons very fast. He said "Five seconds, the shuttle is going to move through space. 3, 2, 1" Just as the last number went out of his mouth, the shuttle started moving. Fuel is getting less.

Kareem and Adham shuttle going through the atmosphere

 

      On Earth, "Why didn't you put the radar in the shuttle?! How are we going to call them" the manager said. Suddenly, a worker came in noise and shouted "The rocket is passing the moon!!!" "What?" exclaimed the manager? "Yes, as you can hear we have done it!!" "There is no hope." "What? You are saying no hope!! Why?! Everything is correct; the rocket is on the right way." "I'm sorry to say this, but there is a misconnection with the austronts. So I think we lost them"Y…yo…you… don't know anything about them?" "Yes, and I think we should forget about them……. Before you do any thing call their families and tell them what happened, but please don't shock them." "But… But…" "Just do what I told you." That night was the saddest night went on the station, because they lost very valuable scientists who wanted to make goals for a first discovery about the asteroid belt.

     Meanwhile, the two scientists landed on the moon for checkpoint. They got astonished with the amazing craters. The two scientists just started moving on the moon very slowly. They investigated, observed, examined, and studied everything on the moon. Kareem liked to study the weight on the moon so he told Adham "Come and help me carry weights outside the shuttle so we can test it."" Kareem, did you bring weights with you?" "Yes, and I will leave it here if you want. Hey! Look what is inside that cave and take some pictures of it, and I will taste it, okay?" "Okay, but let's be careful when we are going in with the vehicle okay?" "I will go in to bring some unknown things and go back to the shuttle to taste it. Stay here to watch any unusual things; if you notice anything just warn me and go to the shuttle. Are my instructions clear?" "Yes" Kareem went inside the cave and found the unknown material. He just took a sample and went out of the cave fast he went to the shuttle. When he opened the sample, Adham shouted, "Don't taste it maybe it is poison and will kill you!" "Okay if we took an example without tasting it, how we will know what it is." "See its atoms. If you didn't know what it is, take it to Earth and study it there." So Kareem entered his lab and closely looked at his microscope and started observing it very carefully. After 10 minutes, Kareem lifted up his head in astonishment. So Adham asked eagerly "What is it?" "As I can see" answered Kareem "It's not an element …… It is frozen droplets! Yes, frozen droplets." "Okay if what you say is correct we will take from it huge gallons for any reason but its not…"   "I tasted it; it's just like regular water." "Didn't I tell you do not taste it?" "Yes" "So why did you taste it?" "Because after I know that it is water I was not sure so I tasted it?" "Thanks God you didn't die!!" "Put on your space suit and come to get water." Together they put on the space suit and went out to the moon with containers and started filling them up. Happily, they went to the shuttle with filled up containers. Without knowing that the ship became heavier, the austronts turned on the shuttle and started moving.

     Suddenly, there was an unusual sound. Kareem turned the shuttle slowly. Both austronts were nervous. They found Mars in front of them. They landed on it very slowly. Kareem wore his space suit very fast and went out to check what happened.

     Adham asked, "What happened?" "The fuel is getting out of its tank!" "What?!" Adham exclaimed. "Yes, it is" Kareem went it the shuttle and started the engine. The shuttle started moving.

     The shuttle slowed down. Kareem and Adham started to check everything. Suddenly, Adham shouted "Oh no! Not know!" "What happened?" "The fuel got finished!" "That is what I was scared of." "Scared of!" "Yes, and I don't want to say this" Kareem said commented, "We should depend on hope." Adham bombed from anger and said "What? Depend on hope? Are you crazy? Why?" "Because there is now more fuel as you said." "Okay, cool down… cool down… hey couldn't we call the station…" Adham was interrupted by Kareem saying "They forgot to put the radar's cable." They stopped talking for minutes. "I think we should really depend on hope." Adham said. They wanted to make their dreams true so they sometimes turned the direction of the shuttle. It was moving very slowly. So they got shift in making the correct direction. One should pay attention and make the astorid belt in front of the shuttle. The other is free to do anything even sleeping.

     After a few shifts, Adham was riding the shuttle. The shuttle was near the asteroid belt. Suddenly, Adham shouted "We made it!!! We made it to the asteroid belt!!! We are next to it!!!" He woke Kareem from his nap very fast. Kareem woke up and inquired "What happened? What happened?" "We made it!!!" "Are you serious?" "Yes, of course." Kareem stood up and looked. He stared and stared.

     Adham didn't know what was in Kareem's mind. There was all sizes and shapes of rocks, but a massive one got his sight. Adham asked "What are you thinking of?" "We are going to land on this rock." "Are you crazy?" "If you don't want to do this get out." "We are going to do this together even if we will die. I trust you in everything." Kareem sat on his chair also Adham. Kareem went through the asteroid belt. When they were in the middle, the rock came in front of them. Both of them were very nervous. Kareem put the shuttle on the landing mode and went behind the chair. Adham also did the same. Kareem went to see what happened. Then, he came running and saying "Wear you space suit…… and take enough oxygen, because I think we are crashed with the shuttle." "But the shuttle was scratched that's all." "Don't forget it was not a soft landing." "Hooooooh… we were close to death." "Yes! We landed on the rock."

     After a few minutes later, Adham turned to Kareem and said, "Give me five!" "We made our dream come true, but it is not time for celebration."

     After a rest, "Let's go and observe the rock." As Kareem commented, the shuttle just moved hardly," But let's be careful!" They put on their space suits fast and went out. Kareem said" Finally, Dreams are true. Hay I forgot to bring the list from the shuttle. One minute." "Hey, Hey, Hey …Come here. Which list are you talking about?" "You are going to see it." "Tell me now." "Okay, Okay calm down. It's a list I made for the things I need or actually want to do on asteroids." ''Okay bring it." Kareem slightly went to the shuttle. "Hey come and see this." Adham calls Kareem pointing on something. I don't know what is it, but it's very far." "Yes, let's work." As they did something, the mysterious thing came nearer. The list had many points such as taking samples, observe everything, try to measure the diameter of the asteroid belt and so on. Both Adham and Kareem read the list point by point. "Are we going to do all these points?" asked Adham." Are you going to do it, just say?"

     After few minutes, they went inside the shuttle. They looked every where under the microscope, in drawers, in all bags and so on. Suddenly, Adham shouted, "I found it!" Kareem took it and went out. Adham went after him. "Could you find a sample for me?" "You mean for us." "Yes, Yes, anything." "Okay I'm going to look."

     After a few minutes, they took the sample and went inside the shuttle. They worked under the window that looked to Jupiter.

     When they were working, light came in from the window. Kareem asked "From where this light is coming?" "I don't know." Adham answered. Both of them looked up eagerly. There was strong light that they covered there eyes. They didn't know anything, but they knew that the shuttle fell from the asteroid belt.

A New vision on Robot Land

     "Wake up, wake up we are falling into a sea of oil. Wake up!!!!" Kareem shouted at Adham, but Adham didn't respond. Kareem had to face the problem alone. He thought that Adham's life and his are on a high cliff. Kareem kept these thoughts aside and started thinking about a solution. He kept thinking and thinking.

     He tried to get a solution, any solution even a temporary one. Then, he detected the manual control of the shuttle. Finally, he said "I got a solution!!" Then, he took the pilot's seat. First, he pressed some buttons to turn the shuttle into manual control. Then, he pulled the driving ring very hard. Finally, he leaves, so it goes to its place. The shuttle gets straten up and get ready for harsh landing. "H…H…He…He…Hel…Hel…Helppp!!!" Kareem shouted. Then he got dizzy and fainted.

     Kareem then opened his eyes, a very strong light hit them, and so he quickly covered his eyes with his hands. He says "Who are you? Where am I? Where is my partner? What do you want? Answer now." "Be patient." A strange voice replied. Then, he realized that Adham is next to him. He stood up and looked at Adham and then sat again on his bed. He was nervous, but he brainstormed every solution he could do in this trouble. Finally, he went to sleep, a half sleep.

     "Where are we?" Adham asked from his place. Kareem woke up and answered, "We are in a wired place. I heard a strange voice that said to me, "We are going to answer all your questions later'', but I didn't know when or where even. Did they talk to you?" "No, but I think 'later' meant when I wake up so they could answer both of us in one time." "I also think that. Let's sit and wait." "Okay" Then, they sat and talked about general things that happened in the shuttle.

     After sometime, a robot went inside; he was strong. "Hi" the robot said. Then, two other robots unvarnished from the dark, they were huge and wore some blue metal on the chest, legs, feet, and arms. They had golden stars on the left side of their chests. The first robot had brown eyes and has number '7' on the right upper part of his chest. He walked toward them slowly as he stared on them. When there were a few of feet between the robot, Kareem, and Adham, Kareem said "Hi, could we ask some questions, please? We are peaceful humans…" Before he could complete the robot said "Humans; shoot them they are enemies." "What? Shoot? Why? We came in peace." "I didn't understand any thing here Kareem, what is happening here?" "Why do you want to shoot us?" "There is a legend that says 'Many years ago humans came to this land in huge numbers carrying nuclear weapons. They wanted to invade this land and they made it after several wars. After fifty centuries of war, the robot gathered weapons and wanted to gain their independence.' The legend also says: 'That one day humans are going to come back!!' Then the life went on and on and no new wars happened and from that day we are killing anyone came near." "We don't have weapons; we just got lost and fell here!" Adham murmured. Then, the robots went away that looked like a police, but Kareem and Adham just sat there.

     After a few hours, the robot came alone and said "Come after me." Then, the three went on air sleds. They went left, right, forward, backward and every direction like they were in a maze.

     After a couple of minutes, they were in front of a room with a big window in the front next to the door. When they went inside, Adham freaked up and asked "Where are we…? I will not go inside until Kareem goes in first." "First, this is a test room. Second, who is Kar-Kareem?" "It is him." Adham pointed at Kareem. "Okay, I will go first." replied Kareem. He went inside and asked "What are we doing here?" Before anyone answered the room got splinted into two. Then, the robot said "Are you ready?" "Yes" Kareem answered. The robot hit the button. The squares started moving toward them, and slowly a metal machine divided both of them in to a part of the room. Both of them closed their eyes and didn't want to see what is happening for them.

  

     In few minutes, the metal machine undivided them so they hit each other. "Awww, what is happening here?" Kareem asked as he was looking at his body. "One minute! Why my body is covered with metal?" "I took permission from the king to make you live here among us. This metal is a robot shield and we did this so you look like us. Why are you asking?" "Because we are afraid if something happened to us?" "No, don't worry. Now go with that robot to show you the place, ways, and your apartment." The police stared at them so they starred back.

     When they get to know each other, the cheif clapped and said "Okay come on, I have work." "I am going to take care of you. Come with me.", the police said. "I don't feel safe for him." Adham said. "No, don't worry. He is under our control." "Okay, let's go." Kareem said. The police took them to the parking lot. The car looked incredible. It was very nice. The car had no wheels and flies over a street of glass. It flies in any direction.

     In the car, the police started talking by saying "My name Robic. I have an apartment next to yours. If you want anything just call me and I will help you." "I am Kareem and he is Adham. We like to know this land and the streets and hyper stores in this city." said Kareem. Then, they were silent.

     In the way, "I think we will be late." said Robic. "Why?" Adham asked. "There is some one who is out of law in front of us." Robic said, as he started to speed up for a chase. Then, he started to get calls and send calls. He started hitting him with the bumper. Suddenly,  the criminal's car lost control and he was caught. "Good one." Adham said. "Now here is the building. Come behind me." said Robic as they went up five floors. "This is your house. Here are the keys." "Where is yours? If we want anything what should we do?" Kareem said. "If you want anything just call me and here is the map of the city." "Okay, thanks." They took the things and went indoor.

     

    The house was fashioned. It moved you. There was no kitchen, you just order by buttons. The bedroom was very luxurious. They feel a sleep on the bed that was like feathers.

     The next day, Robic called Adham and Kareem. Kareem answered saying "Hello, who is that?" "It is Robic." "Oh, hi; what do you want?" "Just eat breakfast and wait for me in front of the building. Okay." "Okay, bye."

     After breakfast, Kareem and Adham went to the door that leads out of the building. Robic was waiting for them. "Oh, here you are; come on we need to go to the chief." "What? Why?" "As you heard."  Then, they rode the car and went to the police station.

     In the police station, "We are going the capital city." The chief said." Okay, but why?" Kareem asked. "Because the king wants to see you, but I don't know why." "The van is ready." A police came in. "Okay, go. Come on we need to take even you Robic." the chief said. Then they started to move toward the capital city.

The First Look

  

     "Kareem wake up, we are in the capital, "said Adham." You're kidding." Kareem replied. "No look." "What's that tower?" "It's the castle." Robic went in saying. "When are we going to be there?" "In a couple of minutes."

     A few minutes later, "Wow! It's a huge, enormous, protected, and beautiful castle!" Kareem said. Then they started walking inside the castle. It's walls were covered with gold and written on it the history of Robot Land. Adham and Kareem went in reading the history.

     Then they went to blocked way. The chief said "In garden laviosa!" Suddenly, the huge wall opened. They started walking in a big enormous room, till they saw the king sitting on his golden thrown. The king was fat, he was wearing gold in his hand and there was a man who was washing his legs. When the king saw them, he ordered the man to go away for now. "So…you are the humans?" the king said. "Yes, sir", Adham and Kareem said in one voice. "Your majesty not sir.""He's very houghty"Adham whispered."Robic come here." "Yes, your majesty" Robic said. "You are going to work here." "No, your majesty; please I have a wife and a son." "Gourds take him away." "Kareem, Adham don't tell my son…" And Robic was taken into a side door. From the first look Kareem and Adham knew that the king was evil.

     As they walked outside, Kareem said, "What will happen to Robic?" "He's going to work for the king for free and won't see his family again." They walked toward the van as they were silent.

     A few minutes later, they were in front of a cafe that was big. "What do you want to eat?" the chief asked. "I need just some foods or some drinks." The food was ordered and the van was silent as they went to the city.

     In the city, Adham and Kareem asked the cheif if they could work to earn money for their living. In the same day, the chief gave them the keys of the car and a book written on it The Rules of Traffic. Kareem started to look at the key because it looked wired. It was a piece of iron that was a shape of the rectangle, but had a smallrectangle at the tip of the key. Kareem took the key as Adham started to ask, "Why are we going to need the key?" Kareem answered, "We are going to ride a police car." "Why?" "Because we are going to work as a police." Then, the cheif gave them the badges and said, "Keep these with you, you are going to need them." The badge was like a golden star written on it 'POLICE OF ROBOT LAND' in a shape of a circle and a police cap in the middle. They stared at the badges for a long period of time. Suddenly, the chief said, "You have work!" They took the car and started moving in the city alone.

     The next thing they new was that they are running after a speeding car. "Get ready for the show down" Kareem uttered. "Let's get this car!!" replied Adham. They speeded toward it till they were next to it. "Stop!!!" Adham shouted. The car just kept going on. Kareem slowed down till he's behind it and started hitting it with the bumper. Suddenly the car sled down the street to the sea of screws. The two cops went trough the sea and got a drunk man from the car.

     The two cops went to the chief and gave him the man. They worked hard, but they felt happy.

     Several days later, the door knocked and Kareem answered. A boy asked, "Hello, are you my father's friend" "Who's your father boy." asked Kareem. "He's cop Robic and he's not in the city." "Give your phone number because I want to call your mother." "The phone number is 0925898601." "Okay I'll call now you just go run to your house … By the way what's your name?" "My name is Caibor" answered Caibor, the boy. As Caibor turned Kareem closed the door and held the phone. He typed in 0925898601. The telephone rang. "Hello, Caibor's mother." "Hello I'm your husband's friend. I want to meet you in a place with my partner so we'll talk." " Talk about what?" "Your husband, Robic." "Where and when do you want to meet?" " On the beach and tomorrow, is that okay?"" Okay." After this phone call, Kareem sat on the sofa to think. Then, Adham appeared, "Come on the chief wants us." Adham said. When, Adham opened the door; Kareem didn't move an inch.

    "Kareem!!", Adham shouted. "Yes.", Kareem finally answered "The chief wants us." Kareem stood up. As they went outside, Kareem was in deep thought while Adham was on his account in 'Robook'.

     Kareem said," Adham, I'm willing to meet Caibor's mother on the beach tomorrow." "Who is Caibor any way?" "He is the son of Robic." "Oh and what you are going to talk about what?" "About Robic.'' ''Okay!"

     The next day, Adham and Kareem went to the beach. They found Caibor on the beach as they were walking. They found his mother and sat down in front of her. The

mother sent Caibor to play." Your husband is….."Adham was interrupted." What happened to him?" "The king took him." The mother got shocked as Adham and Kareem went away.

The Secret Uncovers

     A few years later, it was Caibor's 20^th birthday. Adham and Kareem made a decision to tell Caibor about his father.

     The party was wonderful, it was full of people. Everybody came in saying, "Happy birthday Caibor!" Caibor was the happiest robot that day.

     Most of their friends and relatives were in the party. Caibor's mother announced," Hello everybody, today is the birthday of my only son. Caibor would wish to say a

 speech. "Then Caibor stepped outside the crowd and said, "Welcome everybody to my birthday. I would like if you all want some music, come on!" Then Caibor went to the command corner and ordered music. Then, Caibor cut the cake and everyone started eating.

     After the party, Kareem and Adham helped Caibor and his mother to clean the house. After cleaning, they were tired, so Kareem and Adham went to their apartment.

     The day after, Kareem and Adham saw Caibor going down to college. Caibor usually went to the college walking.

     After a couple days, while Caibor was walking to the college Kareem and Adham showed up by their car. "Come on ride!" Adham said. "Oh, Adham and Kareem!" Caibor uttered as he opened the car's back door." Caibor, could we meet you tomorrow in the police station?" Kareem asked. "Yeah" Caibor answered."Good" Adham replied. "Today I can also meet you." "We want tomorrow because you have vacation."

     The next day early, Caibor went to the station. As he went inside, he looked at the pictures on the wall. He stopped suddenly when he noticed his dad's picture. He stared at it for along time. Then, he started moving again.

     When he was in Adham's office, he cooled down. He knocked and went in. He saw Adham sitting on a sofa as Kareem sat next to him. "Oh, Caibor hello, come and sit." Adham said. "Thanks" Caibor replied. Then Caibor went toward the sofa and sat." Yes" Adham replied. "You told me to come here today." "Oh, yes. We want to tell you..."Adham was interrupted by Kareem" Your father was taken by the king and he won't come again." Caibor just sat and stared on the roof for a long time. Suddenly, Caibor said "Could you come with me?" "Yes, but where and why?" "Just pack your bags." "But just let us fill the vacation order."

     After filling it, they rode the car and went home. At home, they packed their bags and put them in the car. Then Caibor appeared holding the bags. "Put them here." Adham said.

     Kareem started the engine as Adham and Caibor went inside the car. "To the capital city!" Caibor uttered. Then they started accelerating toward the capital city.

     When they were going out of the city, they saw the chief, but he didn't realize them." Oh, thanks God the chief didn't see us!" "The cheif why? We already filled the vacation order." "Oh yes." The way was full of stray buildings and there was no police. Suddenly, the car slowed down and stopped." Oh, no we're out of fuel." Kareem said." There's a gas station in the next ten meters, so let's push the car." Caibor said "Do you want to do this?" "Yes" "Are you sure?" "I told you, yes!" "Okay, okay calm down." "Come on both of you stop fighting and come help!!" Then, Kareem and Caibor went out and pushed the car to the station.

     "Finally we are in the station." Kareem said "I'm totally tired." Adham replied "I think I will drink six gallons of oil." Caibor uttered. When they filled the gas the car didn't move so they pushed toward the mechanic in the same station.

     After a few hours, the mechanic took the money and gave them the car. Then, they started moving toward the capital again.

     After one hundred meters they saw a bill board written on it 'The New Day Group'. And an arrow at the right. "Turn right!" Caibor uttered as Kareem slowed down to turn right. Then another bill board appeared saying 'The New Day Group' ten meters.

     After ten meters, Caibor ordered, "Stop!!" Then Kareem and Adham stared on a huge skyscraper. Then Caibor read what was written on the building with bold 'The New Day Group'. Caibor went inside as Kareem and Adham went behind him.

     They went inside the skyscraper where they found only a huge elevator that could fit a whole tank. They went inside the elevator. It was incredible; the elevator was designed and was written in it the history and legends of Robot Land. Then Caibor pressed the fifty-fifth floor.

     When the door of the elevator opened they found on the floor a picture of a rocket attacking a huge galaxy. Suddenly Kareem and Adham remembered NASA and their families. Then, they started walking till the admistration. They walked in front of the secretary. "Hey, sir do you have an appointment?" the secretary said. "Yes, tell the boss I'm Caibor Robic" Caibor answered.    "Okay one minute, please." All three of them sat down till the secretary told the boss about them. Then he came again saying" Okay you can go in now, sir." All of them stood up and went into the office. "Hi, Caibor." "Oh, hi." "What do you want?" "My friends and I are willing to be in your group." "Okay, but you should do some tests, is that okay?" "We are ready for any tests!!"

     After the tests," Wow! You passed all the tests!! "He said to them as he gave them the participation cards, "Congratulations, you are members in our team now. Welcome to the New Day Group."

     

    Then Kareem and Adham went to a room full of robots. After some time, they knew that the robots are all members. The room looked like a conference room, but actually they knew it was a meeting room. Then, the boss made a speech and said, "We are against the king who was evil for a long time. We are going to let the king to quit. So let us be against the king for ever!!!"

The War

   "What do you want to do with the King?" Kareem and Adham asked Caibor. "We want a war." "Why?!" "We want to make him quit." "Also why?" "Because he is evil as you saw." "But you can't judge him in a couple of days!" "I could judge because I have been living here for twenty years. And everyday he gets evil and evil, but I can judge or even kill him. Everybody on this land can judge him. I or we can judge the king." Then, Caibor went as Kareem and Adham starred at him going away.                                                        

     After few hours of thinking, "I think Caibor is thinking correctly." Adham said to himself. "There is a conference for everybody." The speaker said.

     In the conference room, "We should give the King a last warning." the boss said," Kareem, Caibor and Adham you go to the castle and give the last warning." "But he won't listen to us" "No, he listen to us. If he didn't he will declare war." "If he declared war we are going to fight him." "He will have more soldiers!" "We will fight him even if he is hundreds times more than us!!" Then, Kareem, Caibor and Adham went to the castle.

     In the castle, "Yes, who do you want?" a guard said. "We are police and we want to meet the king." Then, the guard went inside. "They can come inside." Kareem heard them so he went inside and said "This is the last warning!!" "And who are you?" "We are the New Day Group." "I declared war against you and your group!!" "Okay, remember you declared war." Then they went to the group very cool.

     In the New Day Group, "So…he declared war?" "Yes" "So…let's make a plane."  "Okay" "Here is the map of the capital," the boss said. Then, Kareem said, "I think we should camp near Mount. Screw, so if the King strikes with his soldiers." "That's a good thought" "And we will practice war there or let us stay in the camp" "We will divide ourselves into three groups: Kareem, Adham and Caibor are to camp away and they will take some robots, and the two other groups will fight the King." "But we need weapons to…" "I have a secret that will surprise the enemy; such as flying tanks and anti-rocket. We also have laser guns, cars and planes." "Cool" Caibor replied. Then they started tracing the paths they are going to take during and before the war.

     Meanwhile, the King's general was talking with the King about the war. "Find there camp and fight them!" "Okay, your majesty, we are going to kick their butt!"

     After a week of practice, the King arranged his commandos, forces, and the main army then moved toward Mount. Screw. In the way, a spy sent to the boss that the King started moving from the castle to the base of the Mount. Screw a week later. Then, the boss said to the group "Everybody take his place!!!"

     During the war, the King divided his army into four groups: one returns to the castle and the other three stay together. Three days later, the winter came and the temperature became low. As a result, half of the King's army died. While in the main camp the other army was fed and trained well. Thus, a group of the king was in the castle, but the King didn't know how to react with the weather.

 

     Caibor are to camp away and they will take some robots, and the two other groups will fight the King." "But we need weapons to…" "I have a secret that will surprise the enemy; such as flying tanks and anti-rocket. We also have laser guns, cars and planes." "Cool" Caibor replied. Then they started tracing the paths they are going to take during and before the war.

     After two days of fighting, the King returned to his castle. The secret camp of Kareem appeared because of the radar. Kareem changed the place of the secret camp.

     Five days later, the King was in front of his castle and was attacked by planes and laser cars. Although he had soldiers, but they ran away. The King went inside the castle through the back door.

     Then a guard came. He was wearing red and held an ax. Kareem held his laser gun and pointed it to him. "I am from The New Day Group!" the guard said. "How could I know?" Kareem replied. Then, the guard changed himself into a robot who was wearing black and black sunglasses. He showed him his ID. "I have orders from the boss, so wear these clothes and come with me to the castle. I will be waiting outside."

     When they are ready, the spy took them and let them enter the castle. "It's your turn now." Then the robots entered the room of the king and looked in his desk

room, but they didn't find him, so they hid themselves in some places.

     Then the king entered the room shouting. When he closed the door, the robots jumped on him and punished him till he broke down. Then, they took his head and went away.

     In The New Day Group, there was a party and the boss gave Caibor, Kareem, and Adham prizes. Then, he made a speech about democracy. After the party, Adham and Kareem went back to the city with Caibor.

Establishing Democracy

   "Welcome home to the winners!!" A cheif exclaimed. "My son!" Caibor's mother said. "Hi." "You are… back Robic!!" "Yes and because of these brave men." "All of you should come tomorrow night to my house." "And don't forget all the cops and police men. Oh, and don't forget the job cheif!!" "Okay, mister job." The cheif said sarcastically.

   Then, everybody laughed and went back to his apartment. Kareem, Adham, and all the others had a lunch together.

     After two hours, Kareem and Adham went to the station and renewed their licenses. Finally, they returned to work as cops with Robic again. "What happened in my absence?" Robic asked. After remembering some wonderful memories, it was night already and everyone went back to a happy sleep.

     The next day, Robic cleaned the house while Kareem and Adham made posters like 'WELCOME BACK WINNERS' and 'WELCOME BACK ROBIC!!!' as Caibor studied for his final exam.

     At night all the robots came to the party. Everybody was happy for the victory and Robic.

     After one hour, Robic made a speech saying, "May I have your attention please? First, I'd like to thank all of you for coming here. I'd also like to thank my wife and child… and a special one for Kareem and Adham. I wish good luck for my son in the final exam."

     After Robic's speech, Caibor's mother stood and said, "I would like to thank Kareem and Adham for helping Robic, me, and my son. Welcome back Robic. I wish good luck for my son in the final exam." Then she sat down as Caibor stood up. "I would like to say thanks for everybody who came here and share us today. Have a good time here! I wish myself a good luck in the final exam."

     After the party, Robic and his family cleaned the house and bought a cake as the birthday of Adham. In the party they said all in one voice," Happy birthday Adham!! Adham became shy and didn't know what to say.

     The next day, Caibor went to the college with his friends. Mean while Adham and Kareem took the car and Robic went to get his badge.

     In the after noon, Caibor returned from the college happily and said, "I'm now a new cop!!" "All the family is now cops! Kareem joked. "Be serious." Robic said. Then the chief said, "Be bit humorous. These people who made you free."

     At the night, the chief told all (Adham, Caibor, Kareem, Robic and his wife) that there is an outside dinner because a cop.

     In the dinner, they ate and Kareem said, "Why don't we make democracy in this land?" "Yeah, Why?" " The king who put these rules." "But the king is dead." Then, the chief changed the subject.

 

     The next day, the cheif called Kareem and Adham then said, "I have surprise for you so come here!!" So they moved toward the station.

     In the station the cheif said, "Tomorrow the noble-robots are going to come and they allowed you to say a speech for tomorrow, so get ready!!"

     The next day, the noble-robots went inside the conference room. They started the conference without Kareem and Adham because they were late.

     Then Kareem and Adham entered the room and said "Welcome everybody for the 1^st democracy conference. First, let's know what democracy is? Democracy is system in which everybody governs himself. Robots are involved in the decisions of laws of their society." Kareem said as he stood up on the stage "Everyone should choose his president from the people who participated in elections. A president should say his goals and targets and there is going to be a special period for elections and voting. I wish all of you to pass this law." The noble-robot whispered to each other and they made a decision to vote for this law. When they voted, the major part accepted the law while others didn't. From that day democracy spread in the whole land, but this is not the end.

    

    One day, Robic thought of giving a present to Kareem and Adham. Then he went to the cheif and talked about this idea.

     The next day, the cheif ordered some robots to bring the NASA shuttle and clean it. They started searching in the sea as the cheif ordered some fuel tanks.

     After on week of working, the rocket was ready. The cheif wanted it a surprise for Kareem and Adham, so he made a huge party on the seaside. He invited the noble -robots and other robots Kareem and Adham met during their life in Robot Land.

     At night, Kareem and Adham went to the party. At the end of the party, they found the cheif announcing something then he said "Kareem and Adham we have surprise… we made you your rocket!!" Then, Kareem and Adham cried from happiness.

     At the end of the party, Kareem and Adham waved to the robots and started climbing the rocket as the robots started cheering. Then, they took of land.

     Finally, the rocket was on the way to Earth.
