Lucas pauses for a moment to clear his throat, waiting for 23 to be out of hearing range. Even if it's a robot with limited sapience, it still feels weird to talk about buying it right in front of it.
'Hey, um, 427, buddy? Can ya hear me? I could, uh, use your help here…'
[Yes, I'm here, Lucas. I heard about what was going on from 011 and have already completed research and estimates. As far as I can tell, 23 was probably worth something around 750,000$ when brand new, but seems to be about halfway through its standard lifespan, putting it at 5 years old. Given some data I found, they may actually be more than willing to sell one of their units, as it looks like they have been downsizing due to consistently low traffic.]
'Woah, hey, welcome back. Th

"All right… Well, since you already know specifically which one you're interested in, that speeds things up quite a bit. Hmm, looks like it's actually past due for scheduled maintenance, how did tha- Oh right, the usual place was down for its own maintenance and they still haven't notified us that they're ready yet. Well, if that's not a deal-breaker for you, I could give you a little extra discount, considering. Fair warning, I'm pretty sure it has a few parts that are nearly worn to the point of needing replacement, for full transparency." After Lorelei had spent a few minutes reading through a handful of files, she turned to face Lucas directly as she began speaking.'Ha! She said transparency, heh.'[...]Barely suppressing his chuckle, Lucas clears

"Well, that should cover everything, yeah? How should we go about payment? Honestly, I think it'd be pretty funny if ya just slapped it on the bill for the meal. Oh, but there's gotta be a contract or somethin' as proof, yeah?" Since Lucas is satisfied with the agreements that have been made, his mind has already begun to drift towards thoughts regarding the brownie sundae that he can only, correctly, assume is being consumed at an alarming rate."Ah, right. Drumming up a deed for its title of ownership shouldn't be an issue, the problem is having it notarized… Oh! Heheh, Miss Calculated is who we would ideally want to be the notary anyway. I doubt she carries the stamp around, but her signature after serving as the witness is better than a stamp from an official bot, I'd think. What kind of down payment and timespan were you thinking for the payment plan? I'll run the number

Once Lucas finishes rushing his way through taking a leak and then washing his hands yet again, he hustles back to the dining area in hopes of defending his dessert from the unwanted affections of the meddlesome invisi-thief.Exiting the hallway, he's just in time to see Miss Calculated standing up while quietly speaking with Lorelei.Once Lorelei turns her back to Miss Calculated, so as to lead the way, Miss Calculated breaks out in a smile nearly rivaling Lorelei's. Well, at least in terms of the magnitude of her contented satisfaction.As Lucas passes the two leaving ladies, all three of them collectively give a single nod of acknowledgment to the other party. As they've all seen each other rather recently, it isn't worth bothering to speak up in mere passing.

For a small stretch of time, the only noise being generated near their table is the sound of impact from Lucas and Miss Chievous kicking each other's chairs repeatedly, due to reaching a lull in the conversation.Understanding that Miss Calculated might take a while to prepare 23 and separate it from the restaurant's hive mind network interlinking its service bots, Miss Masher opts to resume storytime once more.As she is continuing mid-story for a scene that makes absolutely no sense out of context, Lucas has mostly tuned her out for now.'...How come Chi's stayin' invisible still? Doesn't it use some sorta supe-energy or somethin'?'[She wasn't joking before when she said she had a surprise for you. I

Once Jonathan has finally had his fill of swinging around the Viblade, he dutifully hands it off to Lucas. There was no way he didn't notice the way Lucas was staring at it.'Oh, it really is lightweight. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this definitely wasn't it. No wonder Jon was playing with it so much, the balance is pretty nice too… I bet I could twirl it like a pen… Ha!'[...You would have just cut yourself in three different locations if you didn't have enhanced endurance.]'Shhh, it still looked cool.'"That was sick! Do it again!" At least Miss Masher appreciates Lucas's twirling skills."Huh. Honestly, every othe

Once they're back in Lorelei's office, Lucas directly heads over to reclaim the same seat he used last time. Although, he does wait to sit down until Miss Calculated is seated first, on the same chair Miss Chievous had used previously.'Ha, so this is basically what it would have been like if Chi wasn't invisible before. Wait, no, Maria. Maria-chi. Hahah mariachi, she needs a giant hat and a guitar!'[...Foolish of me to think that you'd already be finished with being amused by the fact they're identical twins within a mere few hours. Also, if you dare give her a musical instrument, I'm pretty sure Miss Calculated would kill you.]'Oh come on, Chi obviously intentionally copies her sister just so she can horse around, why else would she ha

With the last of their formalities finished, Lucas, Miss Calculated, and Lorelei all head out of the office together, with Lorelei intending on escorting them back to the dining area.Once they're collectively out in the hallway, Lucas can't help noticing 23 standing outside the room Miss Calculated was in earlier, staring at the door while slowly pulling it shut.Two of 23's arms are jointly cradling a big silver-colored metal disc, roughly similar in dimensions to a large round serving tray. On its underside is a long thick coil of cord neatly hooked in place, ending in a high-voltage electrical plug.Noticing the approaching humans, 23 finishes closing the door at a much more normal speed while rotating its head to face their direction.

While Lucas quietly nurses his wounded ego, Miss Calculated turns her attention to the gobsmacked Lorelei."Is 23 the only elite model employed here?" As Miss Calculated interrogates Lorelei, she bears the same crazed expression she had upon learning that Willy possesses a significant degree of intelligence."We-well, we have two other elites, but they admittedly aren't as… Attentive... As 23… That's why we would normally send it out first…" While Lorelei falteringly manages a cohesive answer, Miss Calculated crosses her arms and rapidly taps her index fingers against her forearms, directing her gaze downward."Hmm, so it's probably not only the fact it's elite… What made it progress in this way..? Aha! Four-armed units were
