SynopsisEdit
This is a tale of Magnus before he became the protector of North Am. As a young man constantly training to fight rogue robots, Magnus begins feeling burned-out. On advice from Grandmother, 1-A decides to take Magnus on a vacation to Mars. There, Magnus thwarts a Freewill plan to kidnap the Martian Governor's daughter! Returning the girl to her family, Magnus heads back to Earth with 1-A, once again eager to train.[1]

- -- Magnus
- You have been a freewill for 400 years and still think like a standard issue rob -- in straight-logical-ponderous lines. Not like a human, at all. Is the boy normal? --- You know, darling -- does he have all his parts?
- -- Grandmother
- You really are deficient. Refresh your "programming." Consider it part of the training. Ultimately, he must learn to mix with humans. But right now, he needs a vacation.
