I have been an obsessed Asimov fan since the early 1970s, and have read \\\'\\\'all\\\'\\\' of his fiction (except for a couple of very obscure short stories that have never been reprinted and are impossible to obtain). The summary above does not even \\\'\\\'vaguely\\\'\\\' resemble any of Asimov\\\'s stories, and my Google searches have failed to find any evidence that such a story exists. Since the troper who wrote this item didn\\\'t provide a title, I suspect he or she based it entirely on memory, and was thinking of a story by some other author. Accordingly, I am deleting this item. If you can identify the correct title and author of the story, and if it really \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' a DeusExMachina (which seems doubtful based on the information above), then of course restoring it to the article would be a good thing to do.
