Victor's sent her boyfriend off to a spa planet, which means that today is a working day, just like the day before was, and the day before that. She's sectioned off a small corner of the Nexus as her workspace, and while she's not using a blowtorch anymore, she was a moment or so ago, if you judge by the blowtorch set off to the side and the protective gear that's piled right next to it. She's wearing a shirt that says 'I'm good, is that bad' on the front and 'I'm bad, is that good' on the back.

She's been working, when she hasn't been sleeping, eating, showering, or patrolling, and she has a lot to show for it. On the table she's been working on (really two tables pressed together), there are upwards of a couple hundred pieces of cut metal, and a whole metal arm, from shoulder joint to wrist, and half of a hand. The hand is what's taking up much of the time. There's also nuts, bolts, screws, hinges, and various thingamabobs in glass jars.

Now she's draped over a Nexus couch like she's been built into it, rocking out to Radiohead (she thought it was appropriate, considering what she's building).

"In, in that case, you seem like the sorta fellow who'd appreciate this: I've programmed in human error. I was thinking... what makes a sentient 'bot different than a person, and I'd decided it was clumsiness. That is to say, a 'bot wouldn't have it. A 'bot will draw a perfect straight line every single time. So I'm programming in micro timing errors."

"That's... that's pretty incredible," he said, gazing at her. "Even the best of us make our little mistakes. It must be insanely difficult to calculate in."

She looks brilliantly proud of herself, looking up at him. "Thank you. I thought of it, watching ice-skaters. That all it takes is a fraction of a second of an error."

Well, she should be. It's some of the most clever robotics he's ever heard of. Not that he's an expert, of course, but he tries to keep up with what's possible. "Have you been doing this long?" he asked. She seemed very young, but that obviously didn't mean she couldn't be brilliant.
