Chapter 3

After I had paid my bills, I returned to my workshop. After I looked around for a brief moment, I found the Reploid body on the Trans Server platform. I walked up to the body and picked it up and took it to my workshop table. After I carefully placed this Reploid's body on the table, I went to the other rooms of my workshop, gathering the parts I needed to repair this Reploid.

First of all, I looked for a replacement power core because the emergency power core I had installed before I left the ruins would be depleted in the next hour so it needed to be replaced. After I found it, I took out the old core and after a close look I figured that I could try to restore it later. But for now I put it aside and carefully connected the new core. After activating the core, I connected it to the rest of the Reploid's system and removed the emergency core.

Then I disconnected the mainframe from the rest of the body, except the energy system to prevent the remaining body sensors from sending signals of artificial pain to the mainframe while I was working on the body. Then the next step was to clean the remaining parts of the body to see if there was any more damage and to get an idea what the Reploid used to look like.

It took me hours to clear the body but after that I had a good picture.

Most of the exterior looked was destroyed, like he had been in some big battle. But what was left of his endoskeleton had remained intact, and it was enough to tell me that this was no ordinary Reploid. In fact, this Reploid's endoskeleton looked just like a human skeleton, like something out of an old science-fiction movie I had found from the very late 20th Century, around 198X. But what was different about this endoskeleton was that it had a tail as if it was a monkey's tail.

A robotic human-looking endoskeleton with a monkey's tail. Where had I heard or seen that before?

But since I had also found the blueprints for replacement parts for this robotic skeleton, I began gathering the parts. Since whoever this Reploid was couldn't be completely restored since he required organic parts, I just decided to replace the parts of him that were damaged, which was just the arms and legs.

First, I rebuilt the arms after gathering the parts I needed to duplicate them from the old blueprints. After I had completed the arms, I began to work on the replacement legs. After I had rebuilt the legs, I then detached the damaged arms and replaced them. After that, I then replaced the legs. Then I updated his software so his systems would recognize the replacement parts.

First, I removed the parts that were beyond repair from the Reploid's body. Then I replaced them with new parts while I connected his Mainframe to my computer to update the his system for the newer replacement parts.

I worked on this Reploid for hours and after that, the Reploid body was repaired enough to be reactivated. I reconnected the mainframe with the body and initialized the activation program.

Since the Reploid needed to get used to the new parts, I guessed that it would take a while until he was completely operational again. I took the chance and placed my tools back on the table and went to my bed after eating a quick snack. Then I fell asleep for a quick nap.
