Ray began to remove the modules and placed it on the trolley that he found empty nearby. Ony and Oxford moved away from him, but not far enough to not see him. They were leaning against the railings of the catwalk, clearly watching Ray assembling the robot below.
"Your test subject seems to know everything...", Ony said while he was reading the documents in the red folder.
"It concerns me.", Oxford said.
"You think he is a mutant?", Ony questioned Oxford as he hands him the red folder.
"We don't know... he might be... but then, how come he can't remember his past?", Oxford replied looking at Ony.
"Maybe he has amnesia. Have you tried to scan his brain?", Ony question when he looked at the man with his head tilted to his right.
"I have requested an appointment for him tomorrow before we begin our phase three. For the meantime, do you have any idea what does this mean?", Oxford said while he presented the small glass memory card to Ony, also handing it to him.
Ony saw the label and looked up at Oxford, shaking his head slightly. He gave the object back to Oxford before he glanced at Ray below who is now connecting modules into the metal skeleton.
"Have you checked what is inside?", Ony questioned.
"I will when I am at my safe house.", Oxford replied while slid the memory card into his right breast pocket.
"Nothing can be called as a safe house, we are being watched everywhere, worse is that they are also listening.", Ony began to whisper.
"It can be if you built it by yourself.", Oxford chuckled.
"Look at him, he's already coding.", Ony was surprised when he saw Ray already in front of the computer which is connected to the robot's brain.
"New world record I guess.", Oxford murmured as they watched the man below.
When Ray was finished, he looked up and gave the two men a thumb up with his left hand. The two began to walk down the stairs while also making quick glances to Ray who was waiting for them. When they arrived, Ray moved away from the computer and showed Ony the button that will activate the robot. Ony and Oxford looked at one another before Ony walked towards the computer, not pressing the button, but only resting his right hand on it.
"You did it.", Ony said when he removed his hand and turned around to face them.
"It's not that hard actually...", said Ray in a low tone.
"Uh huh.", said Oxford as he placed his left hand on Ray's right shoulder. "Is Tria here?", he added.
"Yes, I met him earlier.", Ony answered.
"Great. Thanks for your time, we will be moving on.", said Oxford to Ony before they shook hands.
"Have you seen a musical instrument before?", Oxford questioned the man next to him while they were walking to the elevators.
"I can't remember what they look like, all I can remember are their names, for an example, a piano, drums, harp..."
"Ok.", Oxford interrupted Ray when the elevator arrived and opened its doors to the side.
The two walked into the elevator and stepped our form it when they arrived at another section. Ray tried to look for the name of the section but gave up when they entered a theatre.
"What section is this called?", Ray questioned Oxford who shook hands with a man that greeted them near the stage.
"Entertainment.", Oxford replied. "Ray meet Tria, he is the head of this section.", he added.
"You must be his new test subject.", Tria greeted Ray with a smile.
"That is correct, sir.", Ray greeted back.
"Let's begin shall we?", Oxford said when he stared at Tria with his hands holding together.
"We shall. Please, take a seat.", Tria said to the two men before he walked away.
"Listen carefully, try to identify the title of the music that they are going present at the stage.", Oxford whispered to Ray as he took a seat and Ray sat next to him.
The curtains of the stage slid to the sides, showing an opera on the stage. Tria, the conductor, stood in the middle with his back facing the two men watching. Then they began playing. Oxford started to glance at the man next to him, watching him how he listens and identifies the music that is being played on the stage.
"In the hall of the mountain king.", Ray spoke.
"Who composed it?", Oxford questioned immediately.
"Edvard Grieg in 1875.", Ray answered quickly.
"Next! He guessed it.", Oxford shouted at Tria who abruptly stopped and responded by another classical music.
Oxford was rubbing his eyes as the music began to start. He stared at Ray from behind, waiting for him to talk out of nowhere. He has the red folder ready and his pen.
"Air, by Johann Sebastian Back... I can't seem to recall the date it was composed.", said Ray as he looked back to Oxford who he caught staring at him.
"How do you even know these songs? These are classical...", Oxford question when he sat straight with his head slightly tilted to the left.
"I don't even know...", Ray replied as he watched Oxford writing something on one of the blank papers in the red folder.
"Next!", Oxford shouted and Tria immediately stopped the music and left his podium.
"Here you go.", Tria handed Oxford an iPod when he approached them.
"Put this on.", Oxford told Ray as he gave him a pair of earphones.
Oxford swiped on the screen and started to play some music. He placed the gadget on his right lap and made contact eye contact with Ray whose eyes are closed and listening.
"Under pressure by Queen.", Ray said as he opened his eyes and caught Oxford staring at him.
Oxford let out a sigh when he tapped on the screen and another song is being played.
