The two of them head over to Raven's house.
"You know I'm surprised you haven't tried to attack me yet, me being defenseless and all." Said Raven as she opened the door and walked in.
"The reason I haven't attacked is because you aren't a threat, even if you where one I wouldn't care." answered the cog.
Raven poked her head out the door and looked at the Lawbot, "What do you mean you wouldn't care if I was a threat?"
"I'm saying that if CJ ordered me to attack you I'd just ignore it, but not just because the world's ending today. I wouldn't obey him or the chairman's orders anyway, I just don't feel right working for them anymore..." stated the cog.
"With that attitude do I even NEED to reprogram you? You're already agented your fellow cogs so what would I even change?" Asked Raven.
"There might be some code that could be activated and turn me back to the dark side, I don't want to end up hurting anyone." said the cog.
"You know I'm starting to think that you defeated me back on Loopy Lane so bad that I passed out and all of this is just a dream. Just because the likeliness of this scenario actually happening for real is really low." said Raven.
"I can understand why you'd think this is just an illusion, however this is far from one. Now I'm not able to confirm if this true or not but from what I've read it's impossible for someone to acknowledge they are in a dream. I know it's a lot to take in but you're just going to have to accept that this is reality." said the cog.
"Okay then." Raven headed back inside.
The cog crouched and entered the house, closing the door behind him.
"It seems we both have forgotten to introduce ourselves, this is probably a good time to do so." announced the lawbot.
Raven turned and faced the cog, "Oh right! My bad, that completely slipped my mind." she took a bow. "I am Raven SmartyGoose."
"You may call me Unit 024601,the first zero is silent in case you were wondering." he said.
"Nice to meet you 024601~ I hope you don't mind if my friends don't say your name right, mostly Ralph." said Raven.
"I don't mind, you could have them refer to me by a nickname. That would defiantly be a solution to the problem, but what exactly would you have them refer to me as? " Said Unit 024601.
"I'll think of something," Raven walked over to her bookcase and then opened up a passage to the basement. "come on, let's go!"
024601 follows Raven into the basement.
"Okay 024601, I need you to get on my workbench over there." the blue dog pointed over to the metal workbench.
The lawbot did as he was told.
Raven walked up to the bench and sat in a chair that's right by it. "Okay, so I unscrew your shirt to get to your main components right?"
"Yes, that's correct." said 024601.
"That's what I thought, I just wanted to check though. Let me just get my tool box." Raven called for her Doodle. "LR! fetch me my tool box!"
An orange doodle walks up to raven holding a red tool box in his mouth, he drops it in front of her and then looks up at the dog. "Here you go Raven~"
Raven pet the doodle and then picked up the box.
"Why do you need this anyway? The world's going to end in a few minutes isn't it?" asked the doodle.
"I've recently found out that time was incorrect, so seeing how I still had time I've decided to spend this time doing what I like doing the thing I like to do most, Science." said raven.
"So what are you working on?" the orange doodle tried to jump up and look on top of the workbench but is stopped by raven. "Hey! what's the big idea?!"
Raven looked down at her pet. "Sorry Lab Rat, but I'd rather have you not knowing what I'm doing."
"What the hay! You always let me know what you're working on!" barked Lab Rat.
"I'm sorry, but it'd be better if you waited. Trust me on this." said Raven.
"Fiiiiiiine." LR groaned and stormed off.
Raven looked back at 024601. "Well now that he's gone I think now's a safe time to get started don't you think?"
The cog nodded in agreement.
"Let me just grab my screwdriver." Raven opened her toolbox and grabbed it.
"I believe you have the wrong-"
Raven swapped the tip of the screwdriver to the correct one.
"Never mind." said 024601.
"I know what I'm doing 024601, now hold still." The blue dog began to unscrew the bolts and after a bit of work she managed to get his shirt off. "There we go, that should do it. Now I'm..." she noticed 024601's skeletal structure. "Now I'm going to... um..."
"What's the matter, didn't you say you knew what you were doing?" asked the Lawbot.
"Well normally I'm really good with machines but you're more complex than I thought." admitted Raven.
"It's not that complex, it's fairly simple." said 024601.
"That's WHY it's complex! Seeing how you're able to express complex emotions and actions I'd expect a complicated set up to match but no. All I'm seeing is a few cords, some lights, a switch and a clock thing. That's it! No wires, no circuit board and no gears, which is funny because you're called a Cog yet you don't have any." stated Raven.
"Ah, I see what you're getting at, But you have remember that there is no way I could function if I didn't have the parts you listed. They're there, just hidden." said the cog.
"Okay, how do I hook you up then?" asked raven.
"Well what you need to do is..."
Sorry to interrupt the story but there isn't much going on at this part, let's see what Jinx and I are up to.
Lionel looked at his watch annoyed. "Ugh, when is Ralph going to come? We are running low on time!"
After a few minutes Ralph finally shows up. "Hi Lionel!"
"You're late!" hissed Jinx.
"I know I know, I was playing the canon game when you whispered me, and you know how I am about the canon game." said Ralph
"So what's your new high score?" asked Lionel.
"40 clouds" said Ralph.
Lionel whistled "Daaaaang"
"Shocking I know." said the dog with pride.
"Oh hey Ralph, there's something I need to tell you." said Lionel.
"What is it?" asked Ralph.
"Okay so while me Jinx and Raven where fighting the cogs we met someone and he's cool and now we are friends." said Lionel.
"You're taking some guy you JUST met into the dream world?" Barked Ralph.
Lionel grabbed Ralph by the shirt and pulled him close. "He was going to KILL himself just because he didn't want to suffer in a green limbo forever, I HAD to do SOMETHING!" Mewed Lionel.
Ralph made Lionel take his hand off his shirt and took a step back. "Wait, how did he know about the vault?"
"He asked me the same thing, I told him that I was told in a dream. Then he went on and told me that he was a part of a secret organization known as The Suits who lurk in the outskirts of Toontown, their leader was told by an unknown source about the end of the world and how everyone is going to be thrown into a digital vault." Lied Lionel.
"Whoa! They sound AWSOME!" Barked Ralph.
"I know right?" said Lionel.
"That's not what happened, close but you've removed a bunch of the important details." said Jinx
"Yeah I know, but mine version was cooler." meowed Lionel.
Jinx rolled her eyes and sighed.
Okay that's enough, let's check up on Raven and 021805? Did I say his name right? Ah well it doesn't matter, onward with the story!
Raven had finally hooked up 024601 to her computer. "There we go, that should do it." she began to look at the files, she looked for the hazardous file but had no luck, she then looked at 024601 and said. "What's the file I'm looking for called?"
"I'll let you know when I see it." Said 024201.
"If you say so..." She looked back to the computer and continued to look though the files, as she was scrolling one caught her attention. "What's this?" She pointed to the screen.
024601 looked at the screen. "Oh don't mind that."
"The file name is all messed up almost as it's corrupted or not supposed to be here, it might be harmful." said Raven.
"Trust me, it's the opposite of harmful, in fact I wouldn't be still functioning without it." said 024601
Raven looked at him, "Wait, it's not supposed to be there AND it's the reason you're still alive? Now you got me interested!" Raven looked back to the computer, clicked on the file and began to examine it. "Huh, am I reading this right?"
The cog didn't look at the file and just spoke, "Yes, you are reading that file correctly."
"But this is imposable! Cogs are incapable of processing a joke into raw data, if attempted it just result in a fatal error! Why are you able to do this and not any of the other cogs?"
"Like you said, due to the odd file name it's clearly not suppose to be there." said 024601
"But that makes no sense! Something like that would have to be intentionally programmed in because, well you know, cogs can't laugh." Barked Raven.
"That's actually a common misconception, Us cog are fully capable of laughter but it's-"
"-Hold on a second, If you're capable of laughter then what cases the error?" Interrupted Raven.
"If you let me finish I'll explain."
"Sorry, continue."
"Anyways, as I was saying... Us cog are fully capable of laughter but it's more for mocking others." explained 024601.
"Oh I see, that makes sense! So basically what I think must have happened is that the file must have been duplicated and corrupted or something along those lines." said raven.
"That's what I figured."
"But wait, isn't there some sort of inspection test? How did you manage to get passed it?" Asked Raven.
"There was a screw-up at the factory where a ton of defective Skelecogs were shipped out by mistake, myself included."
Raven looked to the Lawbot confused. "Wait, you don't seem defective."
"I'm positive that I'm defective, I may have never been diagnosed but I have quite a few syncing errors and my feet are on the wrong legs. That's enough evidence to convince me that I am so."
Raven looked down at his feet. "Huh, what do you know."
"Enough about my flaws, let's get back to fixing the problem." said 024601.
"Right," Raven looked back to her computer and looked for the thing, took a bit but she finally found it. "Is this it?"
The lawbot looked at the computer screen. "Yes"
"Okay, just checking," raven opened the file and tried to edit it but was greeted by an error. "What the heck! Why isn't it letting me edit this file?" Barked Raven.
"You have to turn me off first." Said 024601.
Raven looked him. "How am I suppose to do that?"
He pointed to the switch on his chest.
"That's it?" asked raven.
024601 nodded.
"If you say so..." Raven leaned over and flipped the switch down and his LEDs went dark, she then proceeded to edit the file.
The Lawbot awoke.
Raven was standing in front of him. "Heya Seymour~"
The lawbot stood up. "Seymour?"
"That's the name I picked for you, like it?" Asked Raven.
"Hmm, It has I nice ring to it, I like it!" he said.
Raven jumped for joy. "Yay!"
"Fair warning though, If one of your toon friends crack any jokes about my name I can't held responsible for damage I may do to them." said Seymour.
"Don't worry, most of my friends are pretty mature, the only one who might make jokes is Ralph." said Raven.
"This 'Ralph' wouldn't happen to be a tall male sienna dog with brown arms would he?" Asked Seymour concerned.
"As a matter of fact yes, why do you ask?" asked Raven.
"Oh dear, just as I suspected. I asked because that mutt nearly murdered me, and by nearly I mean if I wasn't immune to gags I'd be dead, Oh and then soon after he posted the video on YouToon." Said Seymour.
"Oh my, that's terrible! I think I saw that video before, you were the Spin Doctor right?" asked Raven.
"That's correct." Said Seymour.
"Huh, you've really changed since then." said Raven.
"Not really, the only thing that's changed is that I've stepped up the corporate ladder." Said Seymour.
"Still, you went from not having a beak to having one and a size change, that must have been hard to adapt to." explained raven.
"Yes but let's drop the subject and focus on getting my shirt back on." He unplugged the wires that hooked him up to the computer then picks up on of his shirt parts.
"Yeah your right, we got waaaay sidetracked." she picked up her screwdriver and began to put his shirt back on. A little bit later she finished putting Seymour's shirt back on and then they both headed outside.
