– If I only knew – started the Wise-one – I wouldn't have given you the idea for all of it. Lets hope it doesn't make any damage. What do you think Social-one, what effect will the Fugitive have on the natives there?
– I think it will have a positive effect. It will speed up the society's development, not only for its artificial intelligence, but also for the technology in the spacecraft, which is unknown to the natives. Maybe the development could be too sudden.
– They don't know that kind of technology – added the Technician – but I think they will understand it.
– I think there will not be any major problems – said the Planet-knower and continues – anyway, look at the brief tape footage.
Through the big mechanical minds of even bigger computers, created in the past, flew the pictures of Earth, the pictures of a spacecraft landing somewhere around Paris, and the Fugitive watchful stepping out between a big crowd of people. Tall, black-haired, handsome, he wasn't even a little bit odd to the people. Its because he was created like an ideal human being. »Philanthropic by nature«, thought the Social-one when the Fugitive started giving away the his technical knowledge as weed, giving it to each country alike.
Then suddenly he was glad he had lost the invention.
– Oh well, – said the Wise-one – we'll let it go its own way from here. Planet-knower, withdraw all detectors. In how long shall we look at them again?
– In a week? It's 30 years on Earth.
– In 2 weeks, the invention doesn't age anyway – concludes the Wise-one and stops the conversation with the others.
And so, for the next sixty years there wasn't a flying saucer sighting, at least not one made on Earth.
