Sprx snored at his desk, his head resting atop a small pile of paper. The door to his room slid open.
"Morning Sprx!" Otto said before he noticed his friend wasn't in his charging pod, odd for this time of the day. Unless he had flight practice, Sprx tended to let the rest of the team be his alarm clock. Otto located Sprx at the desk, sleeping like a rock. He thought, then after a moment a giant grin covered his face. "This is a great chance to test out the quick charger I built yesterday!" He ran from the room a returned moments later with said tool. It was like the devise used via the back of the head to revive team members after battles, but it wasn't attached to an arm, but rather a battery pack. He connected it to Sprx's helmet and a small light on the charger blinked red. Electricity engulfed Sprx's body and the red monkey screamed in pain until it stopped seconds later. The light turned green and Sprx fell face first to the floor.
"Hmm," Otto began to ponder aloud. "I guess it still has some bugs, or, is it that Sprx conducts electricity better than the others because of his weapon? Would the others be affected the same way? I'll have to get Gibson to let me test it on him next."
Sprx groaned as he stood. "Did I fall asleep working on that thing again?"
"Yep," Otto replied. Sprx groaned again and sat back down at his desk, starting back into work. Otto looked at him concerned. "You know, maybe you should take a break?"
"No way. I've been doing fine."
"You don't seem that way."
"Aw, what do you know?"
"I know your power signature was lower than usual before I charged you."
"Who, me?"
"Yep."
"It must be a bug with your machine. It clearly has them?."
Otto huffed and crossed his arms. "Fine, don't take a break. Sit here all day if you want. It's not like I miss hanging out with my friend or anything."
"That's cool, Otto."
Otto headed for the hallway, but stopped at the door. "Oh, Sprx?"
"Yeah?"
"It's December 5th."
"Cool, wait, what?!"
"Later Sprx." With that, the green monkey left.
"Otto! Hey! Wait! That was a joke, right? Right?!"
Silence from the hall. Sprx simply sat and stared at his door for a moment, then fell out of his chair in exhaustion.
