      After that meeting between Jimbo and B.E.N, when they agreed to meet together in his cave, Jimbo returned there at night not alone, but together with Delbert Doppler and Captain Amelia. Amelia was wounded in the chest area and the doctor carried her in his arms. B.E.N. like a hospitable gentleman he received three guests at once into his home. The captain was laid in the corner on a pile of grass instead of hay. Jimbo decided to help the captain with her wound himself, and Doppler at this time decided to talk to the robot: — So it’s you B.E.N. Bio-Electronic Navigator, how would you describe yourself Jimbo? — Yes it's me. — the robot answers a little shyly. — Is it true that you are a real doctor? — Not really! I only have a doctor's scholarship, and I'm not a real doctor. I am mainly an astrophysicist, a psychiatrist and also a little into technology. — Really? Then won't you help me? — asked B.E.N. and turned the back of his head to the doctor. — I have no memory cell and I can’t remember anything. Especially information regarding the treasure that Captain Fleet, with whom I was once acquainted, hid somewhere here. I have these fragments of memories preserved somewhere inside my head, despite the absence of a memory cell. I really don't understand how I only remember this? Why do I remember some things and not others? — Don’t worry, I think I can figure things out here. — Jimbo, get out my astro camera and start recording! — Yes, Doppler. Jimbo took the video camera out of the doctor's bag and turned on the recording. — Entry eighty-five, treasure planet. I am Dr. Delbert Doppler, and my young assistant James Pleiadus Hawkins and I have met a robot who calls himself B.E.N. According to him, he has known Captain Flint himself for a long time and knows where the treasures are hidden. However, he cannot remember where the treasures are hidden on this planet. Now we will delve into his head and try to find fragments of his memories that he retained despite the loss of a memory cell. The astrophysicist put rubber gloves on his hands and climbed inside B.E.N.'s head. The hands were a little cold, which the robot easily felt on the back of his head and shrank a little, despite the fact that he is essentially a robot and should not logically feel anything like that. Delbert tugged at a couple of wires, then took two of them, one yellow and the other green, and connected them together, after which a spark occurred with an electrical jump. B.E.N. He immediately switched off and his green eyes stopped glowing, and the robot itself lowered its head down, as well as its lower jaw. The doctor rummaged around in his head some more, took another red wire and connected it to the green one. Again there was a spark that reactivated the robot. B.E.N. turned on again, but this time his eyes were red. He raised his head without emotion and, as befits ordinary robots, looked at his guests with his angry, evil gaze. Jimbo and Delbert were afraid of him, but continued to watch and record on camera. B.E.N. suddenly spoke to them, but this time his voice was scary, rough, distorted and low, like a monster: — Reboot complete. Pirate mode is enabled. The treasure of Captain Nathaniel Rogers Flint is hidden in the center of the mechanism of this planet. To get there, you must find a large door that will open your way there. To open the door itself, you need the card itself. The map will lead you to this door and its path will end there. The door is located on the edge of a cliff between the jungle and the desert. After what has been said, B.E.N. Again he switched off and lowered his head. A minute later it turned on again. This time his eyes were green and he spoke again in his old voice, while holding his head: — Oh! What happened to me?... It seems I passed out while someone in my head touched my wires and I rebooted again. — After a pause, he looked around and asked his guests. — Who are you? — Have you forgotten already? We are your guests and you told us about the treasures. — Jimbo explained. — A! Exactly! I forget all the time. — B.E.N grabbed. on your holey back of the head. — Nothing, we recorded everything on an astro camera. — the doctor answers and, taking the camera, he stops the recording. He rewinds the finished recording and stops at the point where B.E.N. had red eyes and talked about how to find Captain Flint's treasure. B.E.N. himself When I saw myself on the recording, I was horrified. — Lord, what is this? How scary I am with such a voice! And what terrible eyes I have! Was I really like this at one point in the past? — Doesn't matter! We now have everything we need. Thank you, B.E.N. — the doctor thanked the robot, shaking his hand. — Jimbo, you know what to do. — Yes, now that we know where the treasure is and how to get it, I can calmly give Silver and his pirates our map. — Jimbo says to himself, taking a ball-shaped card from his pocket. — They want a treasure map?... They will get it... But without treasures. — But be careful, Mr. Hawkins. — the captain advised, having come to her senses and standing up a little, despite the wound. — Who knows what that pirate might have in mind. — I know Silver like the back of my hand. He won’t raise his hand or a gun at me, and even more so he won’t let others offend me if I’m on good terms with him. — Jimbo answers slyly. At that moment, a pink and jelly-like creature flies out from another pocket. — Morph, your way out! The creature understood his new friend’s hint and took on the appearance of a card in the form of a ball, so much so that it could not be distinguished from the real one. He puts both cards in his left pocket and leaves the cave, going alone to meet the pirates. B.E.N. at this time he escorted the doctor and captain to his emergency exit in order to unnoticed to take them outside.
