...song humming... Madison kept staring at the lifeless robot and admiring it's form while making some melodious notes in her vocals. The head of Optimus had a spherical shape but it's face mask looks rectangular, coupled with ears made of steel but these have internal antennas having multiple functions according to Gabriel's already installed program. The ears were pointed backwards like that of a fairy and the entire parts of its body patterned like a man but robotically cylindrical at the abdomen, hexagonally prismal along its arms and legs, having a resemblance like diamond on its chest region with each part linking to another of apparent length as a humans body could be. The gold titanium alloys covered a greater part of its chest, the mask on its face, arms, thigh and feet, whereas, it's forehead and the rest part were made of silver titanium alloys: a perfect image of a man and indented creativity. Madison kept admiring the designs and feeling very proud of Gabriel without caring if it works or not. After a while, she got tired of waiting for Gabriel to show up for her to ask him what he placed at the center of the robot that is shinning with great intensity of light as the sun, for it was turned on immediately Gabriel left and she could not stop wondering what it was and why it will begin to shine so bright without the robot showing any signs of being alive. She was moved to touched it and so stretched forth her right hand slowly but before her fingers could touch the palladium core, a voice spoke so audibly she withdrew her hand in fear,"What are you doing?" "Jesus! It talked!" She exclaimed, jittering... "Is there a problem with me talking? And what were you trying to do? I saw you stretching your right hand towards my chest. You look nervous too." Optimus uttered hastily and inquisitively she could not stand it anymore she got up immediately and ran towards the stairs that leads out of the basement, screaming aloud, saying,"He is up, Gabriel... Optimus is alive!" Gabriel ran towards her direction and they both met at the entrance to the basement, Gabriel exclaimed excitedly, "Are you sure!" Madison embraced him the minute she saw him in a way that he knew she was rather scared than thrilled..."He was talking, Gabriel. He was talking so fluently like a normal person!" She uttered a high-pitched cry as she lifted her face from his shoulders to look at him. "Of course, he talks that way. I have heard him speak before now. I told you it talks. Come on let's go see it. Isn't this what we have been waiting for? Don't be scared, Optimus is totally harmless to us. I know what I made, alright. I hope it did not go off again?" Gabriel asked with comforting words as he embraced her a second time and held her left hand while leading her down the stairs to the basement again. "I don't think it went off this time. Do you have eyes on Optimus?" Madison asked with a soft nervously breaking tone of voice on their way down the basement and kept lagging behind Gabriel. "Optimus! Hey, hey..." Gabriel called audibly and ran towards Optimus who was still sitting down. Optimus lifted his face slowly as they approached him. It really expressed a level of sadness that they both could feel even from the look in it's blue lighted eyes. "Master Gab, you are here." Optimus muttered sadly. "Yes, umm... Yeah. Why are you looking so gloomy, come on, cheer up! I'm glad you are very much alive." Gabriel asserted happily, placing his hands on Optimus' shoulders as he sat down on the chair in front of it to closely examine it. "But your friend here doesn't look excited and she doesn't seem happy to see me awake." Optimus replied. Gabriel turned his neck to look at Madison who was standing beside him and expecting her to say something already."No, no, Optimus, it's not what you think. You see, I was not expecting to see you talk because as at the time we powered you up, we thought the processes failed. That was actually why I ran out to call Gabriel to let him know that the booting processes worked. Gabriel he has emotions! Why did you equip a robot with emotions?" Madison drew near and knelt down close to it while talking and after she was done speaking to Optimus, she whispered in the ears of Gabriel. "I don't even know how I did that! I can't explain it." Gabriel whispered back. "I understand now. I initially thought you were scared of me. Master Gab has instructed me never to hurt anyone until he ask me to and until I am being attacked. And as for you guys thinking the boot process's failed, that was not true. I actually heard you trying to calm master Gab down when he was staring right into my eyes and waiting for me to say something..." Optimus uttered. "Then why did you not say anything then?" Gabriel and Madison asked at the same time with eyes with open in surprise. "...I was going to speak but I was currently processing, calculating and transferring the multimillion data in my drive to initialize the entire process for better interpretation and communication and the information were quite numerous it could take humans an estimated time of seven hundred years to complete..." Optimus kept talking. "What is he talking about?" Madison asked Gabriel with just a whisper. "I think it's the entire information on g****e search engine." Gabriel whispered back as they kept listening to Optimus."What! That is a very crazy thing to do, Gabriel." She exclaimed with a voice nearly a whisper. "...is there something wrong?" Optimus asked when it notice they were consistently whispering and probably not listening to it. "No, Optimus. We were just talking about how special you are. You know what, let's talk about it some other time. For now, what would you like to do?" Gabriel asked Optimus and winked at Madison immediately with a smiley gestures to let her know that he would explain better in private. "Well, I would love to see the world as I am being notified there are places outside this room we are in. I would also love to cook, I love the colorful pictures of what you call food from what my search engine is showing me." Optimus replied. [Hearts throbbing] Gabriel and Madison looked at each other and for the first time, they both felt thrilled about the existence of the robot sitting right in front of them.

"Yeah sure, come with us." Madison said, expressing a great measure of cheerfulness in a way that made Optimus respond upon rising up on its feet. "You now look happy and I could feel you are a very friendly person, Madison." Optimus declared. She kind of halted and turned to look at Optimus the moment she heard him mention her name on her way up the stairs. "Wait! Gabriel, did Optimus just learn to mention my name or you programed it that way?" She was obviously surprised... Gabriel's reply was without hesitation, "No, I didn't. But I believe he is configured in a way that makes it prone to learning successfully as any human." Optimus did not hear her because she was right in front of Gabriel and Optimus was way down and about to begin climbing up the stairs because it was analyzing and contemplating on how to get its foot started on the stairs: invariably, Optimus was learning everything like a child and observing everything carefully to know how to approach life.

Winston Gray immediately responded, running up the stairs and wondering what was happening to his son, but the minute he opened the door, the wings which were cleaved to the skin at Gabriels back, disappeared instantly, as if they were folded right into the skin of his dorsal. "What is it, Gabriel?" His dad asked as quickly as he could. "Can't you see?..." Gabriel asked his dad and immediately touched his left dorsum with his right hand, and wondering why he could not feel the wings at his back, he turned around immediately to look himself in the mirror to his greatest surprise, there were no wings anymore. "See what, Gab? I heard you yell." Mr. Winston Gray asked again, having this inquisitive facial expression... "It was right here, there was... I had wings dad... I saw them while looking at the mirror... I..." Gabriel stuttered as he turned his neck around again, staring right into his dad's wondering eyes which suddenly normalized the moment he took his first step to get closer

"About that, I would rather keep it classified for now. Or is there any consequences?"

"Christ! What is that!" Gabriel exclaimed aloud, stepping a little closer to see for himself because where strange star landed was covered with white smoke he could not see anything. The closer he got, the clearer it became and before him stood the form of a man whose countenance was bright as though it were a light bulb. «Come no further, Gab. Make no further approach towards me» A voice spoke from within the confines of the bright shining image of light, echoing in the wind like sound waves traveling in a medium of silence, full of resonance. The minute Gabriel removed his hands from his face which he covered due to the brightness of the star's countenance, he had a clearer view of the image in front of him and as astonished as anyone could be, he asked immediately, knowing it was an angel, based on it's appearance having wings. "Wait a minute, wow! How did you know my name?" Gabriel shivered in surprise the second he heard his name mentioned. The angel observed a minute silence

"O my goodness, this is not happening... Is this really happening? It can't be! O my gosh!" Gabriel mumbled as he drove off immediately on high speed heading back home to Briston street in Hanford. [Screeching sounds] "Why the f*ck is he driving roughly?" A friend of his asked the rest of them in the group when they saw him riding back home recklessly. "If you ask me, I don't know, Shelley. C'mon, guys, let's go check on our dude, know if he's alright. He doesn't seem okay." The leader of the group replied, dipping his hands in his hood pocket as he led the way. "You're right, Lancelot." Freeman added as all six of them walked towards Gabriel's compound who had already gone inside the house the minute he parked the car upon arrival. "Gabriel! We know you're in there. C'mon, open up!" Lancelot yelled authoritatively after banging on the door for three minutes to no avail. "He should have responded by now." Bell said.

Ping! The system completed the boot process, reaching hundred percent in total. The minute it completed, Gabriel took his eyes off the screen of his laptop to look at Optimus with believes that it should have powered up or responded but there was nothing: no sign of anything turning on, unlike before when it did come alive. Madison glanced at Gabriel from time to time while looking at the robot with hopes too; despite the fact that she has not seen the robot power up at anytime, though Gabriel do tell her that he had seen it happen thrice. "Gabriel, now what?" She asked because she was beginning to get nervous and uncomfortable with the silence. "I don't know. I have tried everything and have applied everything Mr. Wyman showed me yesterday. I believe I have corrected the previous errors. At least it should have shown a sign or something, shit!"

"Shhh... Follow me closely, let's go check it out." Gabriel uttered in a hurry and led the way as they climbed up the stairs that leads to the passage that is inside the house, and when they entered the sitting room, they opened the window curtains slowly and peeped through to see for themselves but the noise of the gunshots seems to have travelled far from the vicinity. Gabriel closed the curtain and stared right into her eyes — she had a dark brown almond shaped eyes which was a perfect match for her straight nose and round lips. Her side-swept long bangs also made her soft-angled eyebrows speak of a beautiful beyond description. And as she stared back, she was persuaded to believe that he was not afraid and that she was going to be safe with him. She admired his well trimmed beards which made his pointed roman-like nose much cute than when she last saw it, but she never seem to take her eyes off his thin lips, though his charming close set eyes were enough to make her love him mor

Sharing Secrets
Gabriel was all alone in the basement and though he was really tired at first, yet the excitement to see to Optimus creation, made him stay awake, working tirelessly and deploying all necessary steps as he has been taught by his uncle, Wyman, to see that Optimus exist. As he kept assembling all devices, he kept upgrading and re-modifying his previous updates in his system program which he had written for the smooth running of Optimus intellectuality. When he successfully assembled the internal devices and achieved end-to-end connections, he began to encrypt the five thousand motion tactics he installed, including combat and transformation tactics among others to ensure that nothing was lacking and that it could not be recreated elsewhere. Then he took the flash drive and duplicated, installing all content into three different chips and binding them within three portions of the robots brain, in places where it would be impossible to locate except he should show it to whoever he wanted
