Light, bright light, flooded vision. A whirring and ticking sound rang. The monotony was interrupted.
"A-are you working? Are you there? Kaboodle. Testing sound."
"Testing sound." A somewhat monotone voice came from nearby. "Speak the phrase you wish to record."
"Kit and Kaboodle."
The high-pitched voice is parroted, with a bit of quality loss. "Kit and Kaboodle." The monotone voice replaces the recording. "Sound test complete.
"Kaboodle. Testing vision."
"Testing vision. Display red."
The scrappy Torrey holds up a red poster board it floods the field of vision.
"Display green."
The Torrey repeats, using a green board.
"Display blue."
The Torrey repeats once more.
"Vision test complete. All cones operating correctly."
"Wahey!" Kit squeaks. "It works! Thank you Mister Yun."
"I have told you before, Kit. It is perfectly fine to call me Isaac."
"T-thank you Mister Isaac." Kit blushes. Isaac chuckles.
"You are very welcome. The design updates should provide with a self-powering system, as well as functional hovering. Flight will require more resources, and our time is finished for the day. However, we may be able to develop flight within the next two days, however I must return home."
Kit hugs his robotic Illumis. His design was not purely steam like the typical creations from the company. Kit had opted for a few computerized pieces, because he found them to be more optimal for his purposes.
"I think that the Recycle Beast will love you. You'll be able to help me repay him for all his help. You'll be the best sorter, smelter, everything! I can't wait for him to see you!" Kit felt much more comfortable talking with this, still clearly heteronomous at the time being, not-quite-yet-being.
--------------------
"Kit!" Katrynah tackled her oldest pal (other than her keeper.) "How did it go?"
Kit picked himself up and pulled the tarp off the wagon, revealing the, still running, Illumis. Kit's tarp had melted where the heat sources on the almost-creature became too hot. Kit scowled and kicked himself for his silly decision to cover a hot, moving device.
"H-he's-uh, almost up to par. I'll b-be able to d-design schematics, yet! I can't wait!" Kit drifted off into a thin daydream, immediately interrupted by Katrynah's happy nuzzling. "Oh, yeah! He's, uh, he shouldn't shut down, now. He's almost alive!"
"Cool!" Another voice echoes.
"Li'l Kat!" Katrynah prances across the grass, tackling her other friend. "Isn't it neat? I can't wait to see him when he's finished!"
"It is neat. Congratulations, Kit. Have you decided what you'll design him to do?"
"I am pretty sure I'll have him working at the Recycling Center. I feel like I owe th-the Recycle Beast. He-uh, h-he really helped. All that scrap came from the leftovers."
"I think that's a good use! It's helpful for Subeta, and I know you have the skill to do it. You're probably Isaac's favorite student." Kit's face would be cherry red.
"Hah, look how embarrassed he is!" Katrynah slaps a big paw onto Kit's shoulder, making him correct his stance to keep from falling. "You're doing great! You'll be co-owner of the company someday!"
"Y-you guys, be serious. It's still far from anything Mister Yun would be comfortable releasing. It's a start, yes, but it's nothing spectacular."
"Oh, Kit, be proud for once."
"There are still improvements to be made." Kit grits his teeth a bit.
"Fine, but I'm making cake, and we're celebrating, whether you like it or not!" Katrynah heads to her baking station. Li'l Kat scoots up to Kit.
"Look, Kit, you really should stay out of your head a bit. I know there's always ways to improve your work, but this is a huge step forward. You've been working for weeks on that power system! It's done! One more thing down! You are doing a spectacular job, and we're all proud of you." Li'l Kat smiles, pats Kit on the back, and goes to help Katrynah collect ingredients.
Kit's keeper begins setting the table for a party. He picks some of the necessary ingredients out of the cupboards and begins inflating a few balloons.
"You guys are all so sensationalist. It's just a power system." Kit shakes his head. "Whatever, you're going to be spectacular, one day." Kit smiles, patting his creature on the head. Kaboodle may not have been fully alive, but it remembered that aspiration and affection. Kaboodle could feel, even in this stage. Isaac had made sure of it.
