Chapter 10
"Okay Call, lay it on me!"
After their long hug, the two of them had moved to the next room to talk.
"Right way. Objective Plan: Use the Mighty Numbers to help with cleanup and repairs. Every robot is being assigned an assessment."
"What's mine?"
"You and I are to be 'partners' on this Objective."
"Cool."
"Team Objective: We will be heading over to see Graham, to pick up some paperwork. However, we will precede to there along a selected route. While we travel we will collect data on the state of the robots we see."
"Alright, but I have some questions."
"I will answer to the best of my ability."
"Why are collecting data on the robots. I get it if they were still out of control, but aren't they fine?"
"Answer: The robots are not under Trinity's control, Affirmative. But we do not know how badly they were affected by her. She may have just changed their priorities, or deleted the Three Laws of Robotics. We need to know what was changed or damaged, so we can fix or recycle them."
"Huh, What about the paperwork? Why do we have to get that from Graham?"
"Answer: I have not been informed on what the paperwork is on. All that I know of it is that Professor White needs it."
Beck stood up quickly.
"If the Professor needs it we have to go get it now!"
Scanning: Sudden mood shift.
"May I ask you a question?"
Beck grabbed Call's hand and started to pull her down the hall.
"Yeah, but can you ask while we walk?"
"Affirmative."
They left the laboratory and headed on their way toward Graham's building.
"Question: Why are you in a rush Beck?"
"The sooner we can get there, the sooner we can get back right?"
"Affirmative."
"And if the papers for White then we have to give it to him right?"
"Affirmative."
"So, we should be able to see him. You can give him the papers and complete the mission, and I make sure he's okay. And….maybe I talk to him."
Beck slowed down a little.
"May I ask you a Question?"
"Eyup."
"Would you like me to update our Objective?"
"Update to what?"
"Objective Update: Proceed to Graham's place to retrieve paperwork, and scan/gather data on robots along the way. Also ensure that Beck gets to see Professor White."
His face lit up at her last sentence.
"Oh, please update it Call! PLEASE!"
"Objective Updated."
"Oh, Thank you!"
As he said it, he scoped her up in another tight hug. It seems we are engaged in another 'hug.' Following: Same Advice from before. Call gently hugged him back. They broke apart after a few seconds. Beck took her hand and broke into a jog.
"There's no more time for hugs, Let's GO!"
Adjusting: Speed. She looked at Beck. Scanning….Emotion: Happiness. Call then turned her attention toward the road. Searching: For robots. She didn't know if Beck was looking or just running without a thought. She didn't say anything though, why risk ruining his good mood? So she searched for them, while jogging beside him.
Mini-Objective: Inform and cheer up Beck (Mighty no 9) Complete.
Objective Update: Proceed to Graham's place to retrieve paperwork, and scan/gather data on robots along the way. Also ensure that Beck gets to see Professor White. In Action.

Author's Note- This Chp is pretty short. It was originally longer; however, I thought it would better to keep the scene after this with the next chp. Thanks for reading!
