After he had slept for some hours, Eiyuu called all the probes scattered in London and surroundings.
They can turn invisible in order to not be spotted, and work in broad daylight.
Moreover they were self-repairing and they had a learning AI.
They were sent to Earth in various places and countries, using space pods that they were designed to degrade quickly, to not leave traces.
The small robots were designed to automatically search a source of DNA to link to the AI from intelligent creature and suitable for the purpose of research
They were equipped with solar panels to recharge themselves, because in that era there wasn't other meaning of recharge.
On Earth the choice had fallen on stray dogs, which worked in pack and they had a research instinct suited for the cyborgs.
All the probes communicates by radio, and when a group had found a suitable place where the prince could settle, the leader of the group had sent a radio signal to the other probes, to call them to London.
Eiyuu and Meen-yawn waited for the probes to return, and they knew that they were around a hundred of units.
The little genius thought that they were useful to investigate, and he was thinking to reprogram them for that purpose.
In the spaceship they had the technology to repair them and build other of them, and he was curious to see their appearance, since in the entire voyage they remained invisible, and so the little alien didn't knew their look.
"Meen-yawn! Prepare the program to reconfigure the probes, I want to use them for my future investigations," Eiyuu asked at his aquatic friend.
The ichthyoid smiled, and agreed with the idea of his friend. "Of course, Sir! It's a very good idea! You know that you could build other probes here? And you can repair those that are already there," he explained, pointing at the equipping in the PC room.
The little blue alien nodded, and said, "Yes, I know, my dear friend. And I'm extremely curious about their appearance, since they have used always the invisibility when we saw the videos."
Meen-yawn nodded, and prepared the PC with the right program, connecting the aerial to transmit the new files to the probes.
After some time the probes arrived, and Eiyuu opened the spaceship's hatch, to let them enter.
Once inside, he ordered them to take out the invisibility, and he remained a little shocked by their appearance, but in some manner he liked them.
They had a glassy dome, with red or blue plasma rays that started from the energy core at the center of the dome.
The prince knew that the DNA core was situated under that ball of energy, and that gave him the idea how to rename those probes.
In front of the dome they had a flexible "eye", with a photo/television camera on the inside, which took video or picture of the various things that were going on, and transmit the data to the computer of the spaceship.
They had a "mouth" that resembled a bear trap, and Eiyuu thought that served as defense for the probes.
Under the dome they had a propulsion system that made them levitate, and very simple metallic "arms", made with tubes or metal bars, connected with bolts, and clawed hands.
Eiyuu smiled at the probes, which were ogling him with the single "eye", and he began his speech: "Finally I see you! First off, I must announce that you have done an excellent job, and I'm very happy with the data that you have transmitted. I'm also happy to ascertain that your repairing program had functioned very well, and in those ten years all of you survived."
"Now I will transmit other data and I would modify a little your program in function of the work that I would do here in London. I want to be a detective, and I need some means to gather information quickly and securely, and I thought that you were perfect."
Now I would install a new program, and in the meanwhile I would download the last data that you have gathered. Then I would do a diagnosis on all of you and I will repair those who need to be. Now, place yourselves there, and I would begin to make all the checking. Ah…and I've decided to call you brainbots, and the program that I would create and download into you would generate names for all of you, depending on what is your specialty, thanks to the data that I would gather now from you all," the blue alien finished, pointing at a raised platform with a metallic base.
The brainbots nodded, bowging, and fluttered over the platform.
Eiyuu pressed a button, and a dome of energy formed over the cyborgs: it was meant to recharge them, and as link with the radio aerial.
The blue planet's prince started to quickly key in on the PC's keyboard the program lines, and in the meanwhile, with another application, checked the health status of the cyborgs.
Meen-yawn looked at him in awe, once again. During the voyage he had time to see the capacity of his ward to write PC's programs, but he remained always astonished by his rapidity.
After only ten minutes, the little genius had finished to write the program, and he was doing some simulation tests, crossed with the data gathered from the brainbots, to see if there was some bug or flaws.
He found a couple, and he adjusted them quickly, making the test again.
When he had implemented well the program, he started to download it into the AI of the small robots, waiting.
While the program were incorporated, he and Meen-yawn watched the last data, and they saw that the best moment to exit from the park was at night, very late, because it was Summer, and some couple went there to make a evening stroll.
The waiting was long, so the alien set an alarm on the PC for when he had finished downloading the data.
"Meen-yawn, I you want, you can rest a little, I will do too. The update is long, and I've placed a wake-up call," Eiyuu said, placing himself comfortably on the big leather chair with wheels that was in front of the PC.
The ichthyoid nodded, because he knew too that was a long matter, and retired himself into his robotic suit, pressing a button, making emerge a castle into the glassy dome, and then retiring into the "chest" of the suit.
The little alien sat comfortably in the chair, and then fell asleep.
It wasn't the first time that he preferred to stay there, rather than in his bed, and slept soundly until the alarm rang.
Since it was almost noon, he leaved the brainbots under the energy dome to recharge, and he and Meen-yawn ate some dehydrated food again.
Once the brainbots were all recharged, the blue alien watched what they were in need of maintenance, and started to repair them, sending the others to patrol the streets of London, to testing his new program.
He passed all the afternoon and evening to repair the cyborgs, leaving some into the spaceship, and sending others outside.
When it was supper time, the two aliens ate something more supplies, and Eiyuu controlled the brainbots that he sent to watch Lord and Lady Scott's house, seeing that prince Enywa was arrived there, able to fool the two nobles.
He had give precise instructions at those brainbots, because he knew the Kinseian's powers, and he didn't wanted that the little cyborgs were destroyed.
The two nobles addressed him with the name of Wayne, and Eiyuu was surprised of the similarity with the real name of the prince.
The little genius asked himself if Enywa would have used his powers, but then he thought that he wouldn't had done, or his facade would fall like a castle of cards.
He thought of exploiting this information for the future, although he felt partly guilty, but was nevertheless a good end.
He left to monitor Enywa only one of four brainbots, and sent others around London.
The two Aoseians waited that the park was empty, and then they came down from the ship, left the large garden, and made a stroll in London, avoiding too bright areas.
Luckily, at that hour there wasn't anyone around, and they went toward a zone where they knew there might be empty buildings, planning to settle there.
Eiyuu had seen some warehouses with big spaces where hid the spaceship, and he was searching for a suitable one.
His idea was to find one, placing there the brainbots to guard it, and then the evening after that, arrive there with the ship, parking it there and starting to do the "restoration" work, using the shuttle's technology.
They saw many warehouses, but they had various problems: or little space, or they was already occupied by criminals.
"It's not good, Meen-yawn! At this rate we will never find a right one! I know that's not right to occupy a building that isn't ours, but isn't that we have many alternatives, right, my friend?" the little blue alien asked with a pleading look at the ichthyoid.
The alien fish nodded, understanding perfectly. Neither he liked what they were doing, but it was true that they did not have much choice.
"But of course, Sir! And anyway we can pay it in the future, when you will start to do the detective, you never thought of it?" Meen-yawn asked, with a hopeful smile.
Eiyuu nodded, and answered, "Yes, my dear friend, I was thinking of that, now let's continue our research, and be careful…we are near the prison zone. From the brainbots' registration that we saw of this district, I know that there are often groups of thugs that run around the prison. This is also why I have make the de-gun."
The ichthyoid nodded, with a worried face, and they went more into that disreputable zone.
At a certain point they heard some taunting voices, and an authoritarian, but clearly frightened, voice.
The two aliens let the instinct guide them, and they went toward that direction.
