"Thomas it hu- kkkktzz aaaah!" Dead Mau5 twitched violently.

"MAU5, I KNOW IT HURTS. JUST HOLD STILL. THE MORE YOU MOVE, THE LONGER IT'S GOING TO TAKE." Thomas said.

Mau5 lay on his stomach on a stretcher, giving an unpleasant frown. His hoodie and shirt were removed and a metal plate was attached to his upper spine. Raven had never noticed it before. Guy had said this thing was a straight opening to his memory. It was how both he and Thomas were going to 'tweek his brain waves.' Raven wasn't too sure what this process was. She had the idea that they were going to somehow make Mau5 mentally more stable. How they were going to do that, Raven had no idea. Hopefully by watching, she would understand.

Guy and Thomas both stood over Mau5, Thomas holding long and thin, metal tweezers. Guy was gripping Mau5's upper arms, trying to hold him still for Thomas. The metal tweezers prod and nicked the plate on Mau5's back, causing the crazed rodent to twitch. That plate much be filled with sensitive nerves.

"I ALMOST GOT IT OPEN…" Thomas said. Carefully, he nudged the plate to get a seal on it to slightly pop up off the surface. He then easily took the tweezers and gripped the seal, pulling it up and open. The plate on his back started to glow that cyan blue that his eyes and mouth had done.

"Oooooh~ That feels so weird." Mau5 giggled.

"OKAY, READY FOR THE NEXT STEP." Thomas said.

Guy nodded and rummaged around in the black bag next to him. He pulled out another tool that looked like a two-toothed pitchfork. Guy hit a button on it and it began to glow a bright yellow.

"What's that do?" Raven asked, her eyes wide. These kinds of tools were too scientific for her. But she couldn't help being curious. She had quite the love of building things herself.

"THIS.." Guy replied, holding it down at an angle now. "..WILL BE HOW I MANIPULATE THE WAVES PULSING IN MAU5'S BRAIN. WE ARE GOING TO HOOK UP THOMAS IN-SYNC TO MAU5 AND I WILL SCAN HIS WAVES. WHEN MY SCANNER FINDS A WAVE THAT ISN'T FUNCTIONING RIGHT, THOMAS WILL SENSE IT. HE WILL TELL ME THE MOMENT HE SENSES IT AND I WILL STRIKE IT DOWN."

Raven blinked in amazement. "So wot.. you will be able to kill all the defects in Mau5's brain and make him perfect?"

Mau5 giggled, listening to their conversation. An unhappy face blinked on Guy's face helmet. "SADLY, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT EASILY. BY STRIKING THE NERVE, WE WILL ONLY BE CHARGING IT, GIVING IT THE CHANCE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.. OR, AT THE VERY LEAST, BETTER. INHANCING LIFE IS TOO COMPLICATED TO BE AN EASY TASK."

Raven shrugged. "So why don't you just keep striking all the bad nerves in him until they all start working right?"

Then, a face with X'd eyes appeared on Guy's helmet, and Raven already knew before he explained. "SHOCKING HIS BRAIN WAVES TOO MUCH COULD KILL HIM. THIS PROCESS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE ON AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME."

"So, estimating, how long then would it take to make him perfect?" Raven.

Both Thomas and Guy looked at each other then back to Raven. "HE COULD NEVER BE PERFECT." Thomas explained. "WE ARE NOT THE MAIN CREATORS. WE, BEING CREATIONS, COULD NEVER MAKE SOMETHING PERFECT. HOWEVER, WE AIM TO MAKE HIM AS HUMAN AS POSSIBLE. SO THAT HE MAY UNDERSTAND HUMANS MORE THAN WE CAN. BUT TO REACH THAT LEVEL, IT MIGHT TAKE US A FEW MORE YEARS. THERE ARE MANY BRAIN WAVES THAT ARE OFF IN HIS PATTERN. AND BRAIN WAVES THAT HAVE BEEN STRUCK TO FUCTION RIGHT CAN GO BACK TO BEING DEFECTIVE OVER TIME."

Raven gulped. Sounds like tedious work that requires a lot of patience. But seeing that these two were obviously more computer like than human, they probably had what it takes to get Mau5 the way they wanted him. But Main Creators… what did Thomas mean by that? She decided to keep her questions at a minimum so the two robots could work.

"OKAY, MAU5. WE ARE ABOUT TO SYNC." Thomas announced.

Dead Mau5 looked over his shoulder at Thomas and grinned. "Okaaayyy~"

Guy reached for the top of his black coat and unzipped it half way. He pulled it back to reveal his chest. Raven marveled at his appearance. He was completely made out of some kind of black coat, and silver lining traced his human shaped body. He looked so unreal. Thomas opened a latch where a human heart would be on his chest. Inside it looked to be a plug outlet. Raven raised an eyebrow. Thomas proceeded and grabbed Dead Mau5's tail.

"STARTING SYNC," He said. He then jammed Mau5's plug tail into his chest. The two of them immediately twitched and Thomas's visor screen light up random patterns of lines. Raven watched with amazement as Thomas slowly lumped over, his visor going blank. Mau5 let out a strange sound and his eyes closed shut. In response, Thomas's visor light up brightly and the word 'successful connection' scrolled by. Guy nodded and then lifted his tool just above Mau5's metal spine plate. "BEGINNING THE SCAN."

Guy lightly touched the plate, ignoring the fact that Mau5's right arm flailed out violently in reaction. He must be out cold during this.

Thomas stood perfectly still as Guy slowly glided the tool around the plate. Suddenly Thomas shouted "DEFECT!" Guy struck down hard on the plate and sparks of electricity flew from it. Mau5's ears twitched up and around as one of his brain waves began to recharge, but he remained to appear unconscious.

Guy then continued to scan slowly over the plate, moving only a millimeter per five seconds. Again, Thomas yelled, "DEFECT!" And Guy struck again. And once again, sparks flew and Mau5's body flinched in response.

Raven blinked several times. It seemed so simple and so unrealistic. If people knew of this; that people's brains could be 'rebooted' so easily… the world sure would be different. She knew, there could be several good reasons why these three kept this method to themselves. Perhaps it only worked for them because they could connection to each other, like computers.

By the tenth time Guy had struck Dead Mau5's spine plate, Thomas began to wobble a bit on his feet. He must be feeling the pain that Mau5 was from the shock. Guy looked up at his partner.

"ENOUGH?" He asked.

Thomas was silent for a second, trying to balance himself. "ONE MORE… HE CAN TAKE ONE MORE."

A concerned face appeared in a pixilated image on Guy's helmet. But he looked back to his work and began to scan again. It took longer than the rest of them, but eventually Thomas found another bad wave and yelled "DEFECT!" Guy struck the spine plate. The electricity hissed as it popped around Mau5's twitching body. Thomas made a electronically gasp, pulled Mau5's tail free of his chest and quickly caught himself before he fell over. Guy moved the tool away from Mau5 and came to Thomas's side. "ARE YOU OKAY?"

Thomas nodded slowly. He then looked to Raven. "WOULD YOU MIND… IF I TAKE YOUR CHAIR?"

Raven jumped to her feet, feeling embarrassed for not helping. "Oh! Not at all. Here..." Raven came to Thomas's side, and she and Guy helped him to sit down. Thomas sat and lowered his head.

"Wot happened?" Raven asked.

"MAU5 IS GETTING TOO STRONG FOR ME."

"Wot do you mean?"

Thomas looked up and the word 'human' appeared on his face. "MAU5 HAS HUMAN DNA IN HIM. THAT DNA CODE IS STARTING TO BECOME MORE DOMINATE, AND IT IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR US TO SYNC WITH HIM. ITS TIRING WORK…"

Raven stared at Thomas as he rested in the chair, thinking to herself. Her curiosity was building… she had to know.

"Wot are you guys?"

Both of them were silent. Guy placed his tool back into the black bag and stood next to Raven.

"WE AREN'T FROM YOUR PLANET, RAVEN." Guy said.

She sort of figured as much. But it was still a big shock. "You're aliens?"

The word 'yes' scrolled on Thomas's face. "YOUR IDEA OF 'ALIEN' IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT WE ARE. AND THERE ISN'T AN EASY WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE ARE IN WORDS."

"But the Main Creators… Who are they? Did they send you here?"

"WE WERE SENT HERE TO OBSERVE. WE DID. FOR SEVERAL DECADES." Guy turned his head to Thomas as he spoke, "THEN OUR MAIN CREATORS GAINED THIS CONCLUSION ABOUT YOUR RACE: YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE. YOU HUMANS ARE DOOMED TO DESTROY YOURSELVES. AND SO OUR CREATORS KEPT US HERE AS A TEST. THEY WANTED US TO TRY AND HELP YOU PREVENT YOUR TERRIBLE FATE."

"I dun' understand. How could the two of you possibly help all of humanity? I mean, its clear to see that we will eventually kill ourselves, whether it be a world wide attack of panic and paranoia, or a nuclear war... whichever comes first. How could just the two of you change us and make us survive?"

"NOT CHANGE.. INFLUENCE." Guy made a sigh. "THAT IS WHY IT WAS A TEST. WE MAY, OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU. IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW HUMAN NATURE TAKES ITS PATH WITH US IN THE EQUATION."

"How are you influencing humans?"

"The… music." Raven heard the voice rising behind her. She looked over her shoulder to see that Mau5 was awake and had propped himself up on his side. He gazed at Raven, wearily, but with a soft, idiotic smile. "Our music kills their anger."

Raven looked confused and turned her attention back to Guy, looking for a clarification.

"MAU5 IS RIGHT. THE MUSIC WE MAKE HAS HIDDEN SOUND WAVES IN IT THAT REACTS TO THE HUMAN MIND. THESE SOUNDS HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON THE MIND THAT DISCHARGES ALL NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THIS INFLUENCE AS THEY LISTEN TO OUR MUSIC. BUT THE MORE THEY HEAR OUR MUSIC, THE LESS THEY WILL HAVE THOUGHTS OF ANGER, GREED, BETRAYAL.. AND SO ON. IN A WAY… WE ARE TEACHING THE HUMAN BRAIN TO KEEP A LIMIT ON THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS A PERSON MAKES."

Raven listened, wide eyed. "That's.. incredible. And Mau5's music is like that too?"

"IT'S NOT NEARLY AS STRONG, BUT YES. HIS MUSIC HAS AN INFLUENCE TOO. BECAUSE HE IS PART HUMAN, IT IS MORE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO CREATE SUCH SOUND WAVES IN HIS WORK, BUT HE DOES HAVE THE INCREDIBLE GIFT OF BEING ABLE TO MAKE MUSIC THAT CAN RELATE TO THE HUMAN THOUGHT PROCESS."

"Huh.." Raven said. "No wonder is sounds so good."

Mau5 giggled. "Lil Raven likes my music~" He said, proudly, his tail swishing slowly about.

Raven looked back over to Dead Mau5, slightly frowning. "He doesn't seem any different."

"NO.. IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND MANY OTHER PROCEJURES BEFORE HIS ACTIONS SIGNIFIGANTLY IMPROOVE." Thomas said, now standing from the chair. "BUT HE HAS HAD ENOUGH FOR TODAY."

"Thomas, is it dinner time?" Mau5 asked.

A smiley icon appeared on Guy's face and Thomas nodded. "YES, MAU5."
