ZandaBot Chronicles

ZandaBot Dawn Gamoras Garb

by Max Magee

“How long is the flight time to Shanghai again?” asks Zig, standing beside Steve as they look out over London’s skyline from his Chuckle Technologies office window.

“Just under twelve hours, if I remember right!” replies Steve before turning to look at Judy.

“Correct!” replies Judy, sitting around Steve’s office table with Ray, Max, Nari and Dal.

Steve and Zig rejoin Ray and the guys.

“I’m looking forward to seeing Mr Gamora and his team again,” says Zig before the other guys agree.

“I’m just glad he recovered from his illness,” says Ray.

“Yeah! That sounded life-threatening, to begin with?” adds Nari as Dal gently nods.

“Mr Gamora’s a fighter!“ adds Steve. “He doesn’t give up easily!” 

“Well, you guys will see him in three weeks,” says Judy, looking around at Zig, Nari and the boys.

“I wish I could go with you!” says Ray, a fan of Mr Gamora and Shanghai.

“Oh! And Albertina will be flying out to Shanghai before we do because she’s working on a special project with Gamora and Nazz!” says Steve, looking around his friends.

“I love finding out about these projects,” says Max. “They’re always something different and exciting,” he adds.

Weeks later, Biyu, Bolin’s assistant, leads Steve, Zig, and the team into Room 99, located in the basement of the BXC Labtech company building.

“Aaarrr! Steve, guys,” says Bolin as Biyu leads the group towards him.

“You all know Miss Kai-Ming,” adds Bolin. “Oh! And we can't forget our Albertina and Nazz, can we!” he continues, gesturing toward the three individuals.

Steve and the team greet everyone before Zig gets a high five from ZandaBot Albertina, and Max and Dal fist bump with ZandaBot Nazz.

“Now we’re all acquainted again, let’s meet Mr Gamora,” says Bolin. “He can't wait to see you guys,” he adds.

Bolin leads his group around a corner and over to where Mr Gamora is working.

“Gamora!” says Bolin loudly towards Gamora’s back.

“Isshh?” shouts Gamora, throwing his arms into the air and turning quickly on his swivel stool.

“Bolin! I’ve told you about doing that. Please don't sneak up on me,“ adds Gamora before standing.

“Ha! Sorry, Gamora. But look who’s here to see you,” says Bolin as Steve, Zig, and the guys spread out from behind him.

“Oh my! Zig, Steve, my friends. Welcome, welcome,” says Gamora excitedly.

Zig, Nari, and the boys hug and greet Mr Gamora before Steve gives him a firm handshake.

“We were all worried sick when we found out you had fallen ill,” Zig says, and the guys agree.

“Hey! Guys. I’m all good now. I’m in great health,” says Gamora. “So, let’s have no more talk about illness. Okay!” he adds firmly.

“Come on! Let me show you guys something?” continues Gamora excitedly before walking towards a room brightly lit with white light.

Gamora leads everyone into the room and then closes the door firmly.
