The Caves of steel
The Spacer standing at the Spacetown entrance was dressed in Earth fashion, but the way he stood, the calm lines of his broad, high-cheekboned face and his short bronze hair showed he was no Earthman.
“I am police officer Elijah Baley, Police Department, City of New York, Rating C-5." Baley showed his badge and went on, “I have been instructed to meet R Daneel Olivaw here.” He looked at his watch. “I am a little early. Will you tell him that I have arrived?" He felt nervous and more than a little cold inside. He was used to the Earth-model robots. The Spacer models would be different. He found himself gritting his teeth.
The Spacer, who had listened politely, said, “It will not be necessary. I have been waiting for you." Baleytasks hand went up automatically, then dropped. He was too shocked to say anything. The Spacer said, “I shall introduce myself. I am R Daneel Olivaw."
“Yes? Am I making a mistake? I thought the first initial, R, stood for –“
“Quite so. I am a robot. Were you not told?”
“I was told." Baley put a damp hand to his hair A) and smoothed it back nervously. Then he held it out. “I’m sorry, Mr Olivaw. I dontaskt know what I was thinking of. Good day. I am Elijah Baley, your partner.”
“Good.” The robot shook his hand. “Yet I feel you are uncomfortable. May I ask you to be frank with me? It is best to be honest in a relationship such as ours.”
“Ittasks just, you see, that you don’t look like a robot," Baley said desperately.
“And that disturbs you?"
“It shouldntaskt, I suppose, Da- Daneel. Are they all like you on your world?”
“There are differences, Elijah, just as with men.”
“Our own robots... Well, you can tell they’re robots, you understand. You look like a human.”
“Oh, I see. You expected a rather basic model and were surprised. Yet it is only logical that our people use a robot that looks like a human in this case B) if we export to avoid trouble. Is that not so?”
It was certainly so. An obvious robot roaming the city would soon be in trouble. Baley said, “Yes.”
“Then let us leave now, Elijah.”
They made their way back to the endless cars of the expressway and scrambled aboard. Baley was red. He swallowed twice C) and said, “I’ll stay down here with you”.
“Down here?’ the robot said. “Is my information wrong? I was told that a rating of C-5 allowed someone a seat on the upper level."
“You’re right. I can go up there, but you can’t.”
“Why can I not go up with you?”
“It takes a C-5, Daneel.”
“I am aware of that.”
“Youtaskre not a C-5.” Baley was understandably anxious to keep his voice low.
R Daneel said, “Why should I not be a C-5? I am your partner D) and, consequently, of equal rank. I was given this." From his shirt pocket he took a rectangular police identity card. The name given was Daneel Olivaw, without the all-important first initial. The rating was C-5.
“Come on up,” said Baley. Baley looked straight ahead, once seated, angry with himself E) and very aware of the robot sitting next to him. He had been caught twice. First he had not recognised R Daneel as a robot; secondly, he had not guessed that R Daneel must have a C-5 rating. Of course, Baley was not the perfect policeman of popular myth. He was not constantly calm, adaptable to any situation, and mentally as quick as lightning. He had never supposed he was, F) but only now did he regret not being so. What made him regret it was that R Daneel Olivaw was that very same myth, embodied. He had to be. He was a robot.
