SUMMARY
The Plastospheran artificial and Frican neo-naturalist characters pay mutual visits to the two worlds of their pleasure – the natural world of Frica and the artificial world of Plastosphere. The realities of uncontrolled recourse to human inventions start affecting the characters through some unnatural phenomena in the play. Bob notices with disgust, the abusive attitudes of Plastospherans towards gains with little sustainable development in perspective: pollution is excusable, provided it fills an individual’s pocket. Huge industrial wastes are released to the sea and the atmosphere with the effect of killing natural sea creatures.
Suzy-Maquillo, plunged in deafening music and served by myriads of robots, gets the result of an automated speech, void of determiners and only finds a solution in the quiet natural environment of Frica.

SUMMARY
The first wave of Plastospherans reaches the coast of Frica and is welcomed by Bob Ecolo and other Fricans. They come to the reality of a world where worship of God, architecture and educational facilities try as much as possible to drift away from artificiality and stick to nature. Neo-naturalists like the Bob Ecolos and Vegeta caution them against implementing such artificial practices that would lead to another phenomenon as nasty as the black rain. All the people, a little above five hundred thousand, are settled after a lot of efforts in different parts of the world. Pete’s wife pressurizes him to resort to ecotourism and do a great deal in transforming the world to a natural haven. Parks have to be multiplied, natural shrines have to be increased, and recycling of plastics has to be mandatory. Bob works with him to establish these natural havens, yet receives a lot of criticism for still having an edge over them in touristic attraction. The rivalry is worsened with the choice of Pete’s son, Gastro, to become a forest guard under Bob Ecolo. Father denounces son for this and schemes with Teqno, his ardent supporter in environmental waywardness for profit, to destroy Bob Ecolo’s most booming park, the Ndzondzene park.
Using a remote-controlled incendiary robot, Teqno and friends partially burn this park on a Christmas evening, when many tourists are celebrating. Thanks to the increase of water cannons supplied from nineteen bore holes around the park, the fire is put out with some damages registered. Teqno pretentiously pays a visit to Bob Ecolo’s house the next day, and is not welcomed. His pretense is on Christmas season routine to visit family members, and to extend their mother’s greetings to Bob Ecolo’s family. Gastro not only suspects but accuses his brother and father for this scheme to burn the park. Teqno ignores them and slips to the park unnoticed.

SUMMARY
…Lucie gets to know the motivations behind Teqno’s visit to the park before being further confused when it is revealed to her that he was bearing greetings from her to the Bobs. His sister, Philo, is more convinced after finding out the falsehood in Teqno’s words that they (Saving the Earth Limited) are behind the burning of the park on Christmas day. Bob is nevertheless prepared to use every means to save the life of Teqno, even if it means increasing the roles of robots in his treatment.

Bob Ecolo, Gastro and Vegeta are informed by the UNESCO fact-finding team about the explosive that burns the park. It is embedded in a toy and all accusations point to a neighboring electronic factory. Vegeta and Bob Ecolo shy away from the case and seek instead to defend their in-law. Gastro on the other hand will not tolerate his kin for this outrage and recommends they are exposed with a penalty for the damages. Vegeta is willing to handle the matter out of court but is interrupted by UNESCO that finds a criminal act in the attempted burning… |

A software engineer is to analyze the chip to see its effect on the robot.
Pete attacks his son -in-law for being more available by the side of his sick son than himself. The court decision prohibiting him from coming nearer the patient could be reversed if Bob Ecolo expresses the need for it.
