Model: E. Wylde.
Intelligence? Exceptional.
Mobility? …Regrettable.
Whoever designed this thing
Clearly wasn’t thinking.
I have a bone to pick with bones,
They crack, they ache, they won’t behave.
And nerves? Don’t get me started,
What a primitive apparatus.
So, out with the old, in with the new,
A finer model’s overdue.
Spare me the sympathetic look,
I’m an engineer, not a sob story in a book.
New joints, new wires,
A few adjustments here and there.
Remove the unnecessary,
And there. Extraordinary.
A little tweak, a little trick,
Click, click — a perfect fit.
A touch of steel, a clever spark,
Works like a charm, works like a charm.
Piece by piece, I make it mine,
A better version by design.
Now, isn’t that a work of art?
Who said perfection was so hard?
Oh, wonderful. You’re here again.
Do you ever knock, or is that too advanced?
No, don’t touch that. That’s expensive.
And please, stop looking so attentive.
You brought me coffee? Let me see.
Hm. An interesting acidity.
The extraction’s slightly off, of course—
…
Leave the cup. I’ll need one more.
Heart rate: elevated.
Reason: undetermined.
Focus: compromised.
That’s mildly irritating.
A little tweak, a little trick,
Click, click — a perfect fit.
A touch of steel, a clever spark,
Works like a charm… or so I thought.
Piece by piece, I checked the design,
Yet something’s slipping out of line.
A minor flaw? Don’t be absurd.
I’m sure there’s a reason. Don’t say a word.
Let’s see.
Twenty-eight percent less productive.
Thirty-two percent more…
Hm.
That’s statistically interesting.
No, I’m not blushing.
The room is warm.
And would you stop smiling?
You’re making this difficult.
…
Actually—
Come a little closer.
I need to verify something.
A little tweak, a little trick,
Click, click — something slipped.
A touch of heat, a racing heart,
Works like a charm… well, not quite.
Piece by piece, I checked it twice,
Still can’t get you off my mind.
One little flaw I could erase—
…Who said I wanted it replaced?
Defect identified.
Correction available.
Recommendation: Remove the variable.
…
Recommendation rejected.
Reason?
…
Mind your own business.
