Now JP Morgan-Pierce hadn't gotten to be the richest man in the world by throwing
away his money on his partners.
So although he gave Damon and Monica a most fantastic morganite\manufacturing factory
he wouldn't lend Damon so much as a penny to buy the truck that would
be needed to haul the raw
steel,iron,aluminum and copper
to that factory.
And so in those early years Monica,Damon,Eleanor Shady
and just born squalling baby Damon junior
had to make do with a rusty beat up leaking pickup truck
both for their own use
and the factory's.
Flint Manor was just a pipe dream in those
early years.
However once that
steel iron aluminum and copper got to the factory's
loading dock
it went into the
transfusion nuclear smelter to be made into
morganite,
Because the smelter spweed forth toxic radiation when it was operating the human factory
workers
sat at control desks behind a heavily shielded barrier
whilst on the factory floor
eighteen foot tall worker robots
and seven foot service robots clanked about around that
smelter,doing the dirty work.
The problem was the robots were partially self sentient
so one day
whilst Monica took Damon junior into the main
factory floor
( the smelter was shut down at the time)
the robots
having had enough
revolted and took Damon's wife
and baby son hostage
and demanded more oil for their joints
a new class of robot to repair the other robots
and that the music system songs be changed from
strains of Strauss waltzes
to the Grate ful Dead
punk rock jazz
And so
Damon found himself marching onto the
factory floor to negotiate
with the Leader of the
striking robots
"Me Damon You Robot Slave" started Damon
The 18 foot tall Leader ground a few hostile gears as he digested
this information then
responded
"ME NO SLAVE YOU FATHER HOSTAGE BABY"
at which point little baby Damon junior began bawling away somewhere
amongst his
hulking hostage takers
