Jemmy's attention switched to the other members of the group. "But I fear this socialization level is not satisfying for the whole of this group. How do you wish to get more involved?"

"Oh, I can provide to that," Jemmy offered with genuine enthusiasm. "I can either share the energy I store in my batteries, or, if you are equipped with a S-3a cable interface, I could link directly with you and work as recharger."

"Of course. I apologise Masters Dust and Avery. I ought to have detected your discomfort at our technical language and responded sooner. I shall check for errors in my coding to see if some glitch may have prevented my aforementioned response. As that processes, shall we, as they say in the vernacular, walk and talk to fulfil Master Dust's suggestion as well as Caeruleus' need for power? What manner of fuel do you require, Caeruleus?" Todd remains silent as Kelly talks, running checks of his own to look for flaws in his intellicom connection that he can repair before Jemmy's attempted hacking.

A beep sounded from Caeruleus' body, "I require either direct battery charging or hydrogen ion infusion." he said, "I can receive the former from any standard charging jack, and the latter from submersion in water."

"The first can be arranged." Jemmy's eyes flashed for a moment, then his long, fluffy tail moved like a snake toward the mouse. Then...its tip opened with a hiss, revealing a standard charging jack. "Please open your compartment. I will initiate erg transfer immediately."

"Sure. That's sounds exactly like what I thought we should do." Dust replied, now sitting on the ground digging a hole.

"That sounds good to me too!" Avery quips in his usual upbeatness. He stands straight up and stretches, having been hunched near Dust after tiring of the droids conversation. "How about walking to the Sanctuary? I think that's one of the places I haven't really gone to yet."
"Sleep is due to me... And I have a dream to live."

Caeruleus made a series of clicking noise before rolling his head back to reveal a small port in his neck. Though now his mouth was paralyzed in its closed position, his voice still came clear, "Please commence charging."

"That shall be done." the jack connected, and the cable glowed, indicating the recharging. It did last a few seconds, before the jack was removed. "Recharge complete. I hope it is of your satisfaction."

Todd registers the unusual nature of the speed of the recharge, especially when compared to recharging his own batteries. This is the closest he can come to surprise.
"That was fast." he observes. He now discovers an absence of information on rapid recharging in his database and decides to fill that void with information on Caeruleus' battery. This is his approximation of curiosity. "How is such a rapid rate achievable?"

"I think a visit to the sanctuary sounds like a fine idea. I've not been there yet either and my available information on it is limited. Is it open to visits from the public or is it considered quarantined to protect the inhabitants from the virus?"

"I accept your suggestions for entertainment and exploration," Jemmy said. "As for the recharge velocity, I used nanotubes directly connected to the battery group so to transmit the energy directly into the cells. More efficient." The genet anidroid smiled with self-satisfaction

Caeruleus set his head back into place with a click, and nodded in agreement with Dust, "If that is the agreed upon plan, I think we should depart."

"I'd be happy to!" The Eskimo dog swished his tail once before turning around, facing away from the group as he began to march off in the direction of the Sanctuary, his tail wagging with each step. "And we're off!" he announces.
"Sleep is due to me... And I have a dream to live."

While the group was walking toward their destination, Jemmy said, "I am not sure I can answer properly to that, since I am fairly sure I am a prototype, myself. Almost none of my components have been developed by standard parameters. I could count a handful of humans able to repair me in case of severe damage. One of them is my owner."

Todd immediately picks up on the strange nature of Jemmy's comment.
"Fairly sure? Do you mean to imply, if it is not too impolite to ask, that you do not know either your own specifications, manufacturer or intended purpose?" he queries with the artificial equivalent of incredulity.

Kelly finds herself walking alongside Avery.
"You seem to be eagerly anticipating this visit, Avery. Am I right in assuming there is something in particular beyond mere curiosity that drives you to visit the sanctuary?" she queries.

"That is correct. As you know, every CyPet and AniDroid possess a memory database regarding their components. it helps repaircrews to identify the manufacturer and optimize the repair times. Unfortunately, such database is not present in my components. It is...interesting."

"James! Order for Table 6!"

"Got it!"

James, an ani-droid jackal currently on built-in skates, zipped passed the counter, grabbing several plates and wheeling them over to Table 6. He did a full circle around the table, setting down the food in front of their owners. He came to a stop on the blue-checkered floor.

"Thank you for picking the Blue Jay! Please enjoy!"

James nodded and skated back into the kitchen, wiping his paws on his sky blue apron. He took notice to Jay and Jake, his married owners, having trouble keeping up with the cooking. He sighed and shook his head before switching out his paws for a knife and a mixing spoon before walking over and helping out. The twins were old enough now to hold up the orders on their own.

"Thanks J!"

"What?"

"Not you, baby."

"Of course, Dad! I love helping out."

"We know. Why don't you go out and make some friends? We got it covered now."

James smiled widely and brightly.

"Aw, dude! Really?"

The couple nodded and James hugged them tightly. He ran upstairs after hanging up his apron. He swapped his navy blue work-shirt for his everyday sky blue shirt with navy zigzags wrapping around it. After putting on his lapis bead necklace, he skated down the railing, hugged James and Jay one more time, before running out.

"Now where is everybody?"

"Who is Vi, Dust? Kelly queries.


"Most unusual... I cannot help but question the legal implications of such a modification to your programming however my database is note equipped to answer such a query. Have you had a certified repairer or manufacturer attempt to identify your modifications or base components?" Todd asks Jemmy

Jemmy nodded and showed that kitten-like smile of his. "Yes! My owners fit that legal status and they tried to apply your suggestion, but to no avail. Doc said that I was built with 'blank components', meaning that they were not even serialized. They are trying to search for the manufacturers, but it will take time. Who is Vi?"

James looked around for anyone he could make friends with. He soon spotted a group of robots and some others James couldn't see clearly. They seemed to be walking in the direction of the Sanctuary. James skated over as fast as he could over to them. When he made it over, he began to skate in slow circles around them.

"Hi! I'm James! I work over at the Blue Jay restaurant. My family owns it! Anyway, what are your names?"

"I remember Vi..." Caeruleus piped, nodding, "I think, my memory was partially scrambled with the installment of my new OS."

The rat droid then turned towards the new comer and spoke genially, "My name is Caeruleus, licensed to Annette Springer."

"I see. I'm sure it will be a pleasure to meet her. As it is you, James. I am Kelly Doyle, Usher Anidroid First Class for the Doyle Theatre Group and that is my colleague, Todd Doyle, Senior Stage Crew and Senior Special Effects Engineer. May I enquire as to what function you perform in the restaurant?"

"Blank components? It would appear someone is endeavouring to hide your true function and origin. Have you discerned any of your modifications to-date? I believe Dust answered your question regarding Vi." Todd waves briefly as his name is mentioned.

James skating came to a stop and his wheels retracted into paws. He thought about the question given to him.

"My function? Well, I do a lot of things at the restaurant. My skates are for so when I deliver food, I can deliver it fast and get onto the next order. I clean as well. I can cook using these."

James showed that his hands could retract and be swapped out with utensils. He swapped the knives for his hands and smiled at the others.

"But my sole purpose is to be a childs companion. I'm supposed to play with kids and be their friend! Working at the family restaurant became an after-thought after I was meant to be a pet! I can even record the awesome moments with my eyes!"

James' eyes went white and a light shone from his ears met his head. He made a "tcktcktck" noise as his teeth began to rotate, similar to flim running through a protector.

"It almost sound as though you were designed with either militaristic or illicit intent." Todd observes. "Yes, Avery. I am told organics like socialisation so I am ninety seven point three eight percent certain that Vi would appreciate a visit. I am uncertain however as to the appropriateness of our timing and the number of our party."

"How delightful! You are even modified to sound akin to a projector or camera from the mid to late twentieth century!" Kelly approves. "Your speed and enthusiasm seems appropriate for a younger audience too. I am sure you do a fine job. Shall we keep walking? I am sure Vi, were she aware of our imminent arrival, would await our party with eagerness so it may be construed as impolite to keep her waiting overly long."

"That is the relevant idiom, yes." Todd confirms. "I believe though, Jemmy, that Vi is a female so you may wish to update the pronoun with which you refer to her. I am told organics can be sensitive when referred to with the wrong gender pronoun."
"That is correct. You are learning from my programming for interactivity, Todd." Kelly grins as the two ferrets accompany the group towards the sanctuary.
"What is your maximum velocity on your skates, if I may ask, James?" Todd queries, trying to discern the difference in efficiency between flying and rolling.

James searches his memory for the word velocity and it's meaning, but finds none. He mentally shrugs and goes for it.

"I can't go all that fast on my skates, for that would be dangerous to both me and patrons. They go fast enough to get me there on time, but not enough to hurt someone if I bump into them."

James performs a spin jump, landing in his skates. He trips over himself afterward and faceplants. He shakes his head and stands back up.

"I'm cool. I'm fine. I'm alright."


James goes camera mode to see if he caught that, fist-pumping when he found he did.
