Another of Alastairs proxy body stories. This time a caretaker is stranded on an automated sailing ship and needs help. It comes in the form of a proxy robot, and the caretaker isn’t too taken with it’s driver’s attitude.
But, more is soon revealed as we go through the story and attitudes change.
A really good little story. And maybe a good reminder to all of us not to judge people on their first impressions, sometimes you can be very wrong.
Next up from Alastair in Providence.
Bye for now.
