Departure

Mercury's sleep-deprived face showed happiness boarding on full-on ecstasy as he looked at the metal dog in front of him as he spoke to Marie that was busy jumping up and down beside him

"Have you marked the last modifications to the blueprint?"

Marie stopped jumping for joy and spoke reassuringly

"Of course, I've even drawn the entire thing over on a new piece of paper"

Mercury nodded before he kneeled down in front of the metal dog that was wagging its metal tail from side to side, then he spoke as he reached his hand out to it

"Paw"

*Woof*

"Good, the other one"

*Woof*

"That's a good dog"

"What are you even doing Mercury…"

"Confirming its ability to take voice commands"

"Geez Mercury… Don't you think it's time to get some sleep?"

Mercury nodded before he spoke

"I'll inform the king first, follow"

"Who? Me or the dog?"

"Both of you"
