A New Friend? [Pt 1]

Lemi gave a huff as she neared the completion of her work.

It was an Automaton unlike any that she had ever created.

It looked strangely humanoid—other than its metallic complexion and robotic look—it was more akin to the Race she had always been curious of.

"I'll call it Charlie, maybe?" She murmured, looking at its exposed chest.

Embedded at its center—and connected to tons of wires—was the gem she had temporarily misplaced.

It served as the Automaton's power source and would energize the circuits so it could function properly.

"Hmm, just a bit more in the design department… and I'll add some more functions as well…"

Her goal was to make the perfect Human Automaton. That meant she had to ensure every single function, expression, reaction, and action of the Automaton was well synced.

If it couldn't pass for a regular person, then there was no point in it.
