At that instant, Tom rushed towards Dr. Hansen from behind and tied him up with ropes before he could react. "Hooray, girls! Well done, you did it! You've saved the day once again!" applauded Tom.
"But....but I didn't mean to!" replied Eliza, feeling extremely guilty about destroying Fyre. "Now, you're just making me feel ungrateful!"
"The fact that you didn't mean to destroy it was the precise reason why you've succeeded," explained Tom. "If you had plotted to or even had a tiny thought about destroying the robot, you would've stood no chance, as AI technology is millions of times smarter than you! But no matter how intelligent AI is, it will never become a human, as it doesn't possess or understand human emotions. The ability to possess emotions is precisely the intrinsic value of human beings. Without love, happiness, trust, or even sadness, anger or shame, this world will longer exist as these emotions are precisely the values we live by. If no humans exist anymore, robots will also be destroyed, as it'll have no one to learn from. Even if they learn from each other, there is always a limit. But love and happiness know no limit. Remember that, Dr. Hansen. It seems like you've learnt a lesson from these girls here. They might not be very clever....."
"Hey!" exclaimed Eliza, crossing her arms.
"They might not be very clever," continued Tom. "But they have a kind heart. In fact, they are role models for both you and me."
"But....but I didn't mean to!" replied Eliza, feeling extremely guilty about destroying Fyre. "Now, you're just making me feel ungrateful!"

"They might not be very clever," continued Tom. "But they have a kind heart. In fact, they are role models for both you and me."
At that instant, two police officers entered the room. "You can take him away now!" said Tom to the police, then he addressed himself to Dr. Hansen again. "Think about my words when you're alone in jail!"
"Wait, Tom, but surely this isn't over yet!" exclaimed Claire. "What about the Galileans and the rest of the sun's energy? If they insisted on taking all the sun's energy, we'll all die!"
"Don't worry, Claire!" replied Tom. "Members of the headquarter has been negotiating with the Galileans whilst Fyre was doing your dissertations for you, and they have come to an agreement of letting the Galileans take half of the sun's energy, leaving us with the other half. Looks like the Galileans aren't as greedy as we've reckoned them to be. I guess no race will ever be able beat humans when it comes to greed, no?"
"But how long is half the sun's energy gonna last?" enquired Eliza. "Surely, the whole problem will come back again after it's finished?"
"Yes, but in about three billion year's time," answered Tom, smiling. "I'm sure we'll both be able to figure something out by then!"
"Well, it looks like the saying 'sharing is caring' applies to aliens, too!" said Claire, shrugging, whilst they all laughed.
