assembler level. I need a program to bridge the gap between assembler language and machine language. I need a compiler for assembler language," explained DATA.
"Oh my goodness, my headache is getting serious," said Mrs. Andersen.
"Allow me," volunteered Chen Wei. Nikita looked at Chen Wei with utmost admiration. Chen Wei went up to robot B1287-AT and using a spanner, he opened up the tiny robot. He pressed some buttons inside this robot.
"Bee-bor, bee-bee-bor, bor-bee-bee..." B1287-AT made some noises.
"Oh! I get it," said Chen Wei.
"DATA, please display your communication system module," said the Hunk.
With a wide sweep of her hand, DATA displayed her communication system module as a hologram. This holographic structure was as big as four teachers' table stacked together in midair. It showed the intricate internal network of the star-ship's computer system. Walking nearer to DATA's communication system hologram, Chen Wei pulled a nearby chair and sat down comfortably. He began to write a compiler to bridge assembler language with machine language, using the attached holographic keyboard.
"I don't get it. DATA, what is Chen Wei doing?" Melissa was dying to know.
"Chen Wei has decoded the alien robot's machine language, made up of two syllables, bee-bor as corresponding to one and zero in our machine language. He is writing a compiler for my assembler. Once I have the machine language code, I will be able to communicate," explained DATA.
Nikita looked at Chen Wei typing rapidly on the keyboard. Every once in a while, the Hunk would get up from his chair, walked towards the gigantic hologram and touched a small part of it. A bigger window showing the internal codes would appear immediately, very much like a pop-up window in internet-surfing. Chen Wei stared at these codes briefly and got back to his coding task without wasting time. He worked furiously for close to two hours before he finished his coding task. He looked up at DATA. Nikita thought Chen Wei looked a bit tired.
"DATA, try again," said Chen Wei.
DATA lifted her hand and directed a faintly visible communication beam at B1287-AT again.
"Affirmative. Proceed to communicate..," said DATA after a short while.
"Bee-bor, bee-bee-bor, bor-bor-bor, bor-bee-bee..." came from B1287-AT.
"Bee-bor-bee-bee-bee!" Samuel could not stop himself from saying.
"Samuel, stop that. You are making me giddy," said Mrs. Andersen. The rest of the people were laughing away while Melissa was holding her stomach, she laughed so much that her stomach hurt!
"Bee-bee-bee," Samuel persisted.
"Samuel, come here! I'm going to spank you," Mrs. Andersen threatened. Samuel ran to hide behind Chen Wei. He knew this big brother would protect him.
Robot B1287-AT was linked to DATA via wireless communication protocol, very similar to present-day Bluetooth technology, except for a very big difference in data transfer rate and volume. DATA, the super-computer and B1287-AT the robot were talking to each other. They were learning from each other, two different civilisations, terrestrial and Psychon, in close encounter. After ten minutes had elapsed, DATA lowered her hand and the faintly visible communication beam disappeared. B1287-AT looked around the room, having learnt more about its new environment.
“DATA, tell us what happened,” Captain Baldwin ordered.
DATA related all that had happened at planet M221 recently. Everybody listened with attentive ears. It told of B1287-AT executing anti-viral programs and dancing at the same time. Without warning, DATA played a repertoire of hot Psychon space music, as if to prove its point. Vibrant futuristic music filled the air. Melissa could not help getting on her feet and dancing. Soon, everybody got up on their feet and danced, although not all could do it well. After a while of solid dancing and shaking of bodies, everyone was happy and relaxed. Everybody was glad they had saved B1287-AT.
