Butler One was standing motionless in the middle of the floor in the Pymble Police Station. The officers had carried him to the car and driven him back to the police station house, but had been unable to gain entry to Wildstar.

Ann O’Malley woke up shortly after six o'clock, and put in a radio call to Butler One.

"Calling Butler One, how's the salvage operation going?"
The policemen heard the message. It had been transmitted through the robot's two way speakers, which had escaped damage when the laser blast was reflected back at him. The policeman who had thought of that tactic managed to deduce that the voice was not that of the robot itself, but rather a girl who was attempting to contact the device that was responsible for the destruction of their police revolvers. He spoke to Butler One, hoping that the girl could hear him:

"Listen Miss, this is the police. We have impounded your robot for making a nuisance of itself, trespassing in a tip, and destroying police weapons. If you want it back, you had better come down to the station house at Pymble."

The message was relayed back to Ann.

Butler One's two way communication filters functioned even without the aid of his computer brain.

Ann O’Malley heard the message.

"I will have to have dinner first and then break into that police station and free Butler One. I wonder why he cannot get away. I'd better recall Wildstar first," she thought.

Four policemen had eventually defeated an unknown robot. Three of them were left to guard the spaceship, and they were each a little surprised, when Wildstar took off before their very eyes.

"Shoot it! There must be more of those robot things inside it."

The policemen's bullets bounced harmlessly off the side of the flying spaceship, as it disappeared from their sight, landing in the bushland forest near Freedom Fields. Ann O’Malley had worked out how to manipulate the controls correctly, having remembered the lesson, which she had received from Butler One.

She made her preparations, ensuring that her exolimbs and other devices were concealed either under or on her special outfit, slipped tiny Wendell into the belt pouch, and then put her usual clothes on over that outfit and left the mask under her bed while she went down to the dining room to have dinner with the other orphan girls.

At five past eight, she closed her bedroom door, removed her everyday clothes, put on her mask, letting her red hair flow from the slit at the top, and used her unique bracelet controls to unfold and activate the anti-gravity triangles. She waited until she knew that she had allowed a few seconds for the current to flow through the triangular metal shapes for the first time, and then flew out the window and floated towards the area where she had landed the spaceship by remote control. Hovering above the trees, unseen by any of the staff and orphans at Freedom Fields, Ann then used the Wildstar remote controls, to have the spaceship rise up from the forest clearing and come to a hover position of its own below her feet, before lowering the cylinder platform. Once inside the ship, Ann used her controls, as well as the ship's monitor, to fly Wildstar to an orbit position several meters above Pymble Police Station.

"Now the spaceship can hover silently up here, while I float down and sneak into the building," thought Ann.

She landed soundlessly on the roof and then floated down further, reaching the ground and locating an empty room. She used her exolimbs to tear off the door lock from the outside and entered the room, preparing to do battle with any policemen who had heard the noise. Two policemen ran into the room and saw what was obviously a teenage girl wearing a costume and a mask. They would see no need to draw their revolvers. That would be their first mistake.

"That's far enough, Miss," said one of them, walking towards Ann, whose left arm knocked him over with a sample of the true potential that the exolimb could offer to the limbs of its wearer.

Amazed at the treatment of his associate, the other policeman drew his baton and aimed to hit Ann lightly on the head to frighten her enough for her to choose to surrender.

Ann O’Malley's right arm blocked the approach of the baton. The exolimb absorbed the blow, and she felt no pain at all. She knocked the man over with her left arm, and then ran into the next room. It was empty, except for a still silent defenseless Butler One.

"Good. They must have been the only two guarding Butler One," thought Ann.

She carried the robot out into the street and brought the spaceship down to the street too. Then she, Wendell and Butler One floated up to the cylinder entrance, relying only on Ann's anti-gravity triangles set at a higher power level than would have been used to elevate Ann alone.

Ann flew the ship back to the Freedom Fields forest. There was no need for the ship to have a  control panel, when she could duplicate all of its controls from her bracelets, although the ship could be flown directly from its control panel, for better accuracy when so desired.

Ann opened the remains of Butler One's doors and located some loose wiring damaged by the reflected laser blast. She reconnected them, and Butler One then reactivated his memory circuits and instructed her, while she completed his repairs.
