  Luke stood in the laboratory with a white lab coat, safety goggles, boots, and gloves on. Laying scattered across the table are groups of robot parts from the cyborg. They are sorted from left to right based on importance. On the far left are power cells and CPU Chips.

Next are hard drives and anything containing any sort of digital information. And anything to the right is irrelevant. Luke had three drives plugged into the computer, with secrets ready to be discovered.

The body is in a cabinet labeled, "Cyborg A1." Luke walked across the table, examining the parts. He stood in front of the table for a few seconds and then took off his safety glasses and lab coat. He put his gloves in a box on his desk.

He sat down and opened up the computer. Luke had a mug labeled, "World's Best Myth" with some water inside. Luke started rambling to himself, "Nathan always asking me, "oh why don't you turn the water into Tea" or "why not turn the water into Kool-Aid?" How about I care about by hydration instead of my taste buds, although I eat so much fruit during the day it should cover up two days' worth of a water intake, but that doesn't matter too much! Kool-Aid is disgusting anyways. He always tells me to put in some more powder because I don't put in enough, but how about you Nathan? Why don't YOU put in enough power, huh? And Tea is dehydrating! I drink too much Tea anyways, I think I'm addicted. Or am I addicted to the sugar? I hope it's the Tea and not the sugar. At least it's not drugs, TRIS. At least Colin respects my decisions. Man, Colin is such a cool guy. I wish I could be like him."

The Computer screen then changed to the login, "splendid!" Luke typed in his password and the desktop loaded. "Nathan thinks we should add in more RAM because it "makes the computer go faster." But if I put in tons of RAM inside of my coffee, does it make ME faster!? DOES IT!?"

"No."

Luke turned around to see Nathan in the doorway. "Oh, hello." Nathan stepped into the laboratory, "so, how's the dissection going?" Luke navigated through the desktop, "oh, pretty good."

Nathan examined the robot parts. He then seemed confused and switched two of them, "you mixed up this wire and this wire." Luke turned around, "no I didn't!" Nathan looked at him, "you sorted Wire 3.8532435334335435s with 3.8532435334335434s."

"They're irrelevant! Why does it matter?"

"If they're irrelevant than why did you sort them in the first place?"

"Bah! Whatever."

Nathan walked over to their desktop. "So, got anything?" Luke shook his head, "no. You're distracting me."

"I'm providing vital information that could help us."

"You're talking about wires that are outdated by Four years."

"Correct, Four years."

"Whatever. Listen, I thought you were reading the book."

"I was, but then I decided I was going to take a shower, but first I came in here to check in on your progress."

"Congratulations, what did you learn?"

"Your taste in wires is terrible."

"Leave!"

"Ok, ok."

Nathan stood up and turned out the door, "yell for me if you find anything!" Luke nodded, "can do!"

Colin is a very neat person. His main office looks like a luxurious hotel room. The carpets are a fine red with a thin green pattern. The walls have a nice cream-colored wallpaper. There are lamps on the sides and a fan on the top.
