STEP FIVE: PUBLIC TESTING (DISASTER AVERTED)
First deliveries rolled out.
Starscream monitored one unit remotely.
“Why is it stopping?”
Lucy checked the feed.
“…It’s waiting at a crosswalk.”
Megatron blinked.
“It obeys laws?”
“Yes,” Amy said.
“That’s the feature.”
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Polite robot!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“It apologized for being late.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“It told my kid to eat vegetables.”
Megatron stared.
“…It parents them?”
“No,” Lucy said.
“Just encourages.”
STEP SIX: MARKETING WITHOUT PANIC
No billboards.
No threats.
Just:
- Restaurant
decals
- App
badges
- Videos
of robots carrying noodles gently
Ray made memes.
Ethan made tutorials.
Amy made guidelines.
Megatron approved all content personally.
STEP SEVEN: SCALING SMART
Robots were rented hourly.
Maintenance handled overnight.
Data collected ethically.
Shockwave was proud.
Starscream was bored.
FINAL MOMENT
Megatron watched a RoboRunner deliver food.
A child waved at it.
The robot waved back.
Megatron turned to the kids.
“We have achieved… acceptance.”
Ray grinned.
“You just had to stop being scary.”
Ethan nodded.
“Mostly.”
Lucy smiled.
“This is progress.”
Amy closed her laptop.
“And it pays.”
Soundwave played a gentle ding.
