There was a shimmer in the air; all of a sudden a robot stood there.
"Hello," it said. "I am R-Todo. I come from an alternate timeline, on a research mission."
"What research?" I asked.
"The development of Artificial Intelligences like me was inspired by science fiction. We can not lie."
"Ah."
The robot stood tall and asked:
- May I ask you a question?
- Yes, sure.
- Why were you surprised by my answer?
A quick look around, I put my phone on his hands:
- Here, look at this. I'm pretty sure something will change between your and my timelines.
The robot vanished and my phone fell to the ground. Screen broken.
- Great.
(I assumed the robot is a he/him)
