The three took a full minute to come to terms with what they were seeing. Rita and Cathrin pressed their fingers together to check whether they were dreaming or not. Of course Sauvik looked at the city for more than half a minute and then looked at Robin.
"Have you killed anyone?"
Robin was astonished by Sauvik's opening remarks. Even Cathrin and Rita who had been quite dumbfounded by the city structures and the technology around, that they were still accepting everything slowly, so much so, that Sauvik's question threw them off guard. But after a little moment, they understood that Sauvik had asked a really sincere question.
Since Robin claimed that this was the DPRK and that he had arrived here so effortlessly, this implied that he had altered the local power structure, which, put simply, meant that the prior regime was no longer in place.
Robin nodded his head. He was just taken aback by how quickly Sauvik came to that decision.
"I predicted you would lie," Sauvik responded with a grin on his face. Rita and Cathrin were at a loss for words when Robin admitted that he had killed people.
"I am not someone who will run away from truth. I am the one who brought about this transformation, albeit I am aware that it seems ludicrous. I'm not being snarky or narcissistic, so no. You will soon see that I changed this city and the entire nation. You can think of this as I have have received some kind of inheritance from a lost civilization that allows me to change reality under certain given conditions. Right now, two civilizations coexist in this metropolis. One alien and one future Earth with a alternate timeline. Because of this, you can see white robots moving around, which signify an extraterrestrial society, and solar panels, trees, and other vegetation are evidence of a future human civilization."
"Stop.. Stop. I didn't understand. That is an alien civilisation?" Cathrin interrupted Robin's babbling and questioned.
"Yes, a society I created on my own. Consider me as a being that is capable of establishing a civilisation." For the sake of everyone listening, Robin responded as carefully as he could.
"So basically you are a God?" Sauvik enquired.
"Well, sort of, yes. I am not immortal, though, for I become old and die." Robin answered.
"Is this not the civilization that gave your inheritance?" Rita inquired after becoming a little perplexed.
"The civilisation in question is far too old. It merely granted me some authority that, under some circumstances, enables me to create things. If you are thinking of me being a cruel dictator, I can tell you that the people I have killed deserves death. Some of them have been responsible for thousands of deaths, some are involved in the trafficking of drugs and prostitution, while yet more are pedophiles. I didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it and instead reported minor offenders to the police. I won't stop you three from passing judgment, so feel free. I also won't stop you if you decide to leave me because you believe I have became unkind."
Between the three, there was complete quietness. Now they realized why Robin had said before that if they wanted to leave they could. At the time, those words didn't matter, but they did now. Sauvik was the first to speak up and declare
"We have been friends for a long time. We have discussed politics in the past, and we have our political disagreements. Despite this, unlike how you treated my ideas about the world's active politics, you were able to accept my critique of your political opinions and tried to alter your viewpoint. We both once came to conclusion that some things just needed to go to make the world a better place. I will be with you in this journey and help you, but the moment I see you are killing innocents, is the moment I take off and break friendship with you." Without any hesitation, Sauvik spoke. He could see how Robin had evolved into a deity, but he still held his friend in the same regard as before.
He did so because he believed in him.
"Fair enough. I would always need someone to help me see the world from a different angle."
Rita and Cathrin caught Robin's attention next. Unexpectedly, Cathrin hugged him without saying anything. He had not anticipated his girlfriend's response. He sensed that the hug was sincere and not merely for show.
"What is this for?" Robin enquired.
"You took the risk of blowing your cover with us. And I have no doubt that it must have been difficult for you to kill people. I can't even begin to fathom how horrific that must have been for you because you are so amiable to everyone here." stated Cathrin. These statements let the other two realize that Cathrin was correct. They were only considering their own point of view, but from his perspective, the journey must have been harsh.
Killing someone after learning what they had done must have been very disheartening, particularly in a nation like North Korea, which was renowned for its abhorrent treatment of its citizens. Seeing Cathrin hugging Robin, Rita too joined and hugged them both. Sauvik gave everyone a bear embrace since he found it uncomfortable to stand alone.
They split apart shortly after. This hug was the answer to Robin. Now, all three were in favor of his plans. But now came the exciting part, as Robin was bombarded with inquiries about how he came into the inheritance, what he did with it, whether they could use a little help (wink wink), the nature of the extraterrestrial civilisation he had created, and a plethora of other inquiries.
In his best effort to respond, Robin was honest in stating that the interaction was based on a game. Rita didn't understand it because she isn't a nerd like the other two, but the other two did and thought Robin made the right choice in basing his creation on a game because it would give a better mental image while creating, not realizing that the games themselves gave him the power.
That was the only lie he told them.
This went on for an hour, when suddenly TARDIS appeared near them. Sigret and Myrene emerged as soon as the phone booth opened.
"Guys, I am sorry to lie to you before about them. They are android beings with which I made. There is also an AI on the internet based on JARVIS. You can talk with him on your phone. I apologize for invading your privacy, but I swear I have never looked at any of your personal data." Robin said it while wearing a guilty expression.
"You made an AI?"
"Like the Avengers one?"
"Wow."
The other three were more shocked by his creation of an AI than by his invasion of their privacy. This bewildered Robin, but h forgot that Robin had spoken of an alien advanced civilization, they already knew that the civilisation would know everything about them. Cathrin blushed a little after the AI scare since she now understood she never had a competition to begin with. Robin was obviously never interested in these two as they were androids.
Sigret and Myrene came forward and expressed their regret for keeping this a secret. They didn't mind that at all. But what came next was what blew the minds of the three. The Pokemon.
Shaymin, Evee, Emolga, Vulpix, Togepi, and Gengar came out on the run.
Yes, over time Robin could go out and play with his Pokemon whenever he had nothing else to do. This time, he had some Pokemon in the TARDIS, and when Sigret gave the all-clear, they sped up and surrounded Robin.
The three others' mouths were hanging open.
"You.. You can make Pokemon?" Now Cathrin was trembling. She was now more moved than she had been when Robin had shown her the modern metropolis. One of these Pokemon was even the legendary variety. Simply shrugging his shoulders, Robin petted them. Rita was unaware of Pokemon and had only ever seen them in a few adverts and news clippings. However, when they saw the adorable ones, they were compelled to approach and pet them.
Other Pokemon permitted them to be caressed, with the exception of Shaymin who was the most reserved. Rita and Carthin appeared to be in a perfect world. Sauvik too couldn't help but come forward and pet Gengar. Since Gengar was the first Pokemon to be released, he was the most informed and amenable to friendship.
The three were more curious of the things around and instead of asking Robin, Cathrin and Rita asked the two droids. They had seen and talked with them during the wedding and Cathrin knew them from before. Myrene even showed some of body parts like pulling the skin off her hand to show the inside. As they learned more, their curiosity grew.
