Where we begin our story, Carl Sagan is in his office, being harassed by some sort of crank caller or something.
The weirdo-robot does eventually get him to listen, with the promise of lunch, and tells him more of the phenomena he wishes to study.
The phrase "Scientific progress is dead without a willingness to embark on at least a few carefully calculated ridiculous ideas," being used at least once, but Sagan isn't one to pass up a chance to see proof of something like that.
Several months later Robo has him lured on site, and Robo lets it slip kinda how how little testing he's done on his theories :)
No, don't fall for his tricks Carl Sagan! Stay strong!
Oh Carl!

Now I regret I lent my copies out, and can not read these issues right now.
