Sam: Bob, what do I do?

For These Employees, The Ups and Downs of Life are More Than Buttons on a Controller
STORY: A group of misfit employees try to get through the ups and downs of life while working at a local videogame store.
ALTPanel 1: Stylized title panel that reads “Bob by: JDVM.” The letters in “Bob” are made of red crystal.
Panel 2: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) stand on a rooftop, weapons drawn. They look out at the city where Keymaster (a tall, bulb shaped robot with one crab arm holding a long key as a staff and another arm ending in a bladed key, with sunglasses and a crown floating over a roguish grin) flies between buildings on a mechanized platform. The platform is a large, inverted triangle upon a floating disk. The face of the platform show’s Keymaster’s symbol, which is the kanji for tree. Next to Keymaster on the platform is a generator of sorts.
Panel 3: Closeup of Keymaster atop the platform. He is firing a laser from his staff off panel.
Panel 4: We see that the laser’s target is a car engulfed by a massive red crystal. The laser is making that crystal grow even bigger.
Panel 5: Bob is defiantly firing his weapon up into the air towards Keymaster.
Panel 6: Shows Keymaster on his platform. Two ports have opened on the face of the platform like eyes, if eyes actually fired missiles at heroic robots.
Panel 7: Bob crosses his arms to shield his face as one rocket explodes in front of him. Another rocket is also headed his way. Behind him is a small red crystal on the ground.
Panel 8: The second missile explodes, sending Bob off balance. Sam is blown back completely off his feet.
Panel 9: Bob steps backwards to catch his balance, but the small crystal is right there.
Panel 10: Bob’s foot lands on the crystal, which releases tendrils of red smoke that swiftly coil towards the robot.
Panel 11: A loud sound erupts as Bob is completely engulfed in a red crystal. Sam lies on the ground, his functionality unknown.

…And that’s how I invented the machine.
…こうして、私はその機械を発明しました。
I see.
One of your remarkable achievements.
なるほど。
あなたの素晴らしい業績の一つですね。
Soon the machine began composing dozens of scientific articles automatically.
やがてその機械は、科学論文を何十本も自動で作成するようになりました。
Yes.
I am one of the applications.
はい。
私はそのアプリケーションの一つです。
But then I realized…
I’m the only one who reads those articles.
しかしその時、気づいたのです……
それらの論文を読んでいるのは、私だけだと。
That is correct.
I don’t read them either.
I only process them.
その通りです。
私も読みません。
ただ処理しているだけです。
Perhaps you should take mental breaks.
Let me refer you to a specialist.
少し休憩を取ったほうがよさそうですね。
この分野の専門家を紹介しましょう。
Blow out the candle.
Maybe YOU don’t want to wake the Startles right now.
ろうそくを吹き消して。
今はスタートルズを起こさないほうがいいかもね。
Sometimes even machines suggest taking a break.
ときには機械のほうが、休憩をすすめてくる。
ALTPanel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) have come upon some Henchmen (stick figures with an inverted triangle for a head). Also present is a stick figure human who has been trapped in a large red crystal. Bob and sam are both holding weapons. One of the Henchmen looks to Bob and Sam with concern while the other looks angry and is approaching the trapped human with a hammer and chisel.
Henchman 1: Thank you for sparing us. We are just collecting shards.
Panel 2: The second Henchmen has approached the human’s crystal and has placed the chisel against it, hammer pulled back to swing.
Henchman 1: The humans inside the gems are safe. So long as the crystal doesn’t shatter.
Panel 3: The first Henchman jumps in surprise as Bob casually shoots the second one, before the human can be harmed.
New Cartoon, “Sound Cool?”
