Chapter 68 Summary: “The Recos”
The airship contains three identical robots, bulkier and bigger than Roz. They are etched with their numbers, RECO 1, RECO 2, and RECO 3.
They fly around the island and see the smoking tower of ash, the wooden lodges, and the dead robots. The ship lands in a small meadow. The RECOS disembark and face a figure at the forest edge. The creature is Roz, who introduces herself.
Chapter 69 Summary: “The Defective Robot”
The RECOS greet Roz, calling her ROZZUM unit 7134. They say that they are there to retrieve all the ROZZUM units. Roz replies that the other units are dead. RECO 1 says that they will collect those units later and he commands Roz to follow them into the airship.
Roz asks where the RECOS came from, but is told not to ask questions. She continues to ask questions, saying that she will not go anywhere without answers. RECO 1 pauses, then tells Roz that a year ago, 500 ROZZUM units were on a ship that sank. 495 units were retrieved from the ocean floor, so the RECOS were sent to recover the last five. They will return Roz to a factory where she can be refurbished and sold.
