Donovan and Powell are testing a new advanced robot to take over for humans at a star base, its main task to keep an energy converter stable so the star's energy is fed directly to a receiver on Earth. The robot, however, develops a superiority complex, reasoning that it is an improved human, and that the converter itself is its master.
