Title: Projects
Prompt: Inspired by funny meme or book quote.
A/N: This meme is the story of my life.

P.I.X.A.L. stepped off the turbo lift and walked into the motor pool secret lair of the Monastery, observing something that made her circuits burn. A mess.  Not just any mess. A colossal mess.  It looked as though the entire team practiced spinjutsu in the cave and decided to rearrange everything in the process.

She treaded carefully over loose bolts, odds and ends, the random wrench, finally arriving at ground zero. Two figures were whispering quietly and fiddling with an engine block.

P.I.X.A.L. searched her processors for a logical explanation, finding nothing. 

"Is there a reason why the motor pool looks like it suffered a severe attack?"

Two heads popped up. Based on pattern recognition of facial expressions, her HUD informed her the two individuals looked guilty.

"Uh," Jay started, reaching to scratch the back of his head, "first we wanted to make an adjustment to the auxiliary thrusters on the Bounty.  Then we thought improving the suspension on the Land Bounty would make more sense.  But then we noticed that the auto pilot needed an upgrade in order for the synchronized auto control to work across all vehicles.  Then we got this really good idea to enhance the remote controls for Kai's Katana 4x4."

Nya shot a glance at P.I.X.A.L., then focused her attention back at Jay as he trailed on, looking sheepish. 

P.I.X.A.L. pinched the bridge of her nose, a habit she had learned from Nya.  "Logic would dictate that you would finish one task before moving on to the next."

Awkward silence filled the cave.

"I assume you will get everything put back in order before you leave?"

"Yes ma'am."

P.I.X.A.L. turned and left the motor pool with a huff, whatever task she ventured down there for was forgotten in a subroutine.  

Humans.  She would never fully understand.
