Jenny was alone in a circular room with lots of gadgets everywhere. She stood over a blue table that showed a hologram of a few of their drones on the floating island.

"Have you gotten anything?" Jenny asked the robots.

"Yes. We've found a robot but nothing else than that."

Behind it, other drones were using thin white strings to tie up a disactivated giant grey and red robot that has six legs and a face sprouting from its body. The robots then tied the white strings against their hips and their feet levitated from the ground with the help of boosters under it.

Jenny nodded. "Good. Send it back here now."

The hologram shrunk back and Jenny walked out of the room to the corridors of other busy scientists with a touchscreen clipboard hugged tightly against her chest. She saw a guy leaning against a wall talking to a kid shorter than him, probably around 9.

They giggled and the boy's eyes caught Jenny's and he signalled the man that she was there. Bakar turned his head to her and opened his mouth to speak.

"So?" Bakar asked.

Jenny raised both her eyebrows. "So what?" She shrugged.

"The floating island and stuff."

The boy was still standing there, listening to their conversation with a grin, waiting for the right time to speak.

"Oh," Jenny said. "That. They have found a robot left there but nothing more. I've ordered the robots to bring it back here for research."

The boy, Ali, grinned even brighter. "Can me and uncle Bakar check it out too when it arrives?"

Jenny smiled. "Of course you can."

Ali jumped and cheered. "I can't wait uncle!"

Bakar grinned. "OK. Let's go for training."

He pushed Ali by his back to the way Jenny came and Jenny watched them disappear among the crowded hallways. Jenny sighed and smiled as she walked on.
