A friend
P.S. After 2 minutes, the email will be deleted!”
“It’s today!” Ed thought, excited. He looked around and glanced at the clock.
19:32.
Ed quickly left the restaurant for home.
At 19:45, Ed saw a food van slowly driving into the driveway of his house. Suddenly, a sign popped out,
saying: “Professor Chan, please come in.”
Ed climbed in and said excitedly: “So, you are... um ...”.
The driver said: “I am Agent Q from Albert Einstein JJJJJR’s lab,” holding an identity card. “Professor
Chan, you are invited to visit our lab”. He gave him an invitation from the famous scientist Albert Einstein
JJJJJR. So, Ed climbed onto the food van, shaking with excitement like a rusty old car starting its engine.
When they arrived in the laboratory, Ed looked around. The walls were dark brown and the floor was
wooden planks. There were computers, supercomputers, and lots of trap doors.
“Welcome!” said a voice. A person who looked like Albert Einstein came out. “I am Albert Einstein JJJJJR,
or Agent AE. We have noticed some code of the robots in the GBA AI system is malfunctioning. You are
the best AI scientist in GBA. Would you please help us fix it?”
“Um…OK.” said Ed.
“Good!” exclaimed Agent AE. “Now you will be identified as Agent E. Here is a candy that will help you.
Be sure to take it yourself. And then plug this chip into your computer.”
The same food van carried him home. Ed ate the round, pink candy. He felt the watermelon flavoured juice
running down his throat, and was surprised that he immediately knew a secret passcode to the GBA AI
system.
He plugged the chip into his computer. Then, he used the passcode to access the files. In the files, there was
a program and information about the design of the robots. He ran the program, which took him directly
into the AI system of GBA. He entered the passcode again and entered the system. When Ed looked at the
code in the system, he found something strange in the log of the robot construction program.

He clicked on Guest. Surprisingly, the log said that the guest did not do anything. When he checked the
code, he saw an extra code that would make robots place random things everywhere, use random materials,
and do the opposite of what the blueprint says. “Uh oh, someone has inserted a virus!” Ed thought.
So, Ed wrote another virus to search and kill the original virus in the code. It was an easy job to him.
He decided to put another small non-harmful virus to the system in memory of his visit. He felt excited
about hiding something that no one will notice.
