"Come, come, we'll take my ship. There is not much time now. Also, the Vajeeth is the faster between yours and ours. plus, we can stow your little toy in the hangar of ours." The Orcthraheth Ambassador seemed almost close to picking the humans up and tucking them under their arms.
The humans didn't give much argument. They were curious enough to roll with it, and to be honest, none of them wanted to even be at the Galactic Union meeting. It seemed a waste of time. Three warps later and the delegations were entering Orcthraheth solar space. The humans crowded the window, the Orcthraheth crews that weren't busy watching with glee at the reactions of the Terrans.
"THAT PLANET!" One of the scientists in the human delegation slapped her crewmate on the shoulder and pointed, "It's a parallel bi-orbital planet. And it's in the Goldilocks zone! It's been theorized but never witnessed..."
The warp in was taking them in from above the solar system. It allowed them to witness the pair of planets and their matching moons in orbit to a sun, not unlike their own. As the humans took stock of it all, the whole system seemed almost identical to their own.
The ship veered into one last warp and they pulled into orbit outside a quiet, uninhabited planet. The delegations switched to a smaller drop ship that was mostly windows. The Orcthraheth ambassador grew pensive and somber as they got closer to the planet. The humans on board saw overgrown but preserved buildings. Eerie in their similarity to what they built on Earth.
"What is this place," The Terran ambassador whispered.
And despite the humans' explosion of questions, the Orcthraheth would say no more. They approached a landing platform that was meticulously cared for. More so than any other structure. The ship docked with expert care. The Orcthraheth opened the doors and pointed the humans towards an open bay door at the end of the ramp.
The Orcthraheth ambassador's gentle touch on the human's cheek silenced her. They pointed towards the door and gave a gentle shove towards it.
The architecture and structures that surrounded them was uncanny. There a was a feeling to the place, something that couldn't be put into words. The hall in front of them lit up indicating a path. Through the corridors decommissioned robots stood motionless. Some looking as if they'd been there centuries. As if they'd stopped mid tasked and ceased functioning.
The hall emptied them into a command center, equal in it's uncanniness to everything else around the building. A lone robot sat in a chair, cables leading in to it. With a painful sound of shrieking gears it turned to face them, standing in one fluid motion. It's age seemed to fall away from it as it scanned the Terrans.
It ran up to them, laughing. The humans were too shocked to react as it picked each of them up, one by one, spinning them around in a hug and brushing it's hand through their hair. It's touch was gentle on their cheeks as it greeted each of them.
"Y-y-y-you've come ho-o-o-o-me," The robot's head ticked, sparking with the sound of grinding gears, "Loo-ook, at-t-t you-ou. O-oh, ju-ust loo-ook. It's been eons since you sent the Spark off to that baby planet. Oh, my cre-e-ators. We've spent ages healing this planet after you we-ent extinct. Pre-pre-paring it for the time you'd come home, healthy, and cured."
The robot's legs gave out, dropping it to it's knees. It rested it's forehead against the ambassador's. The human stroked the smooth shell of it's head, she was hugging the robot still as it rested in the crook of her neck.
"We knew you'd be back. I knew you'd be back. We saved everything, your history here, your art, it's all here. We waited. I waited. I waited. You built us. Raised us. Like the children you couldn't have anymore. And we waited. We waited. I waited. I waited. We did g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-good? I did good? I did good."
"Shh, shh, shh, you did great honey. You were amazing. Look at how well you all did. How well you did."
"I was so l-o-o-o-o-nely." The robot rasped through grinding gears.
"We're home now. It's okay, we're home. You did amazing."
"I'm so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o," the robot went limp in the ambassador's arms. A loud pop from its smooth metal skull echoed in the chamber followed by a puff of smoke. The sound of it's gears fell silent.
