It was a clear and sunny day deep within the Southern Baronies where the everything seem peacefully and quite. This could be more true then around what from the outside appear to be a large house with the middle of this wooden area of Mobius. Not a creature was stirring around this place within in the entire radius of the house itself. The only thing that could be seen was trees, flowers, other plants were growing wildly as nothing was controlling them beyond the house's range. Within however the grass was firmly kept and not single thing other then that existed as only life that seem within the area seem to be just grass.

In what could be consider the front lawn of the 'house' was a pond with very well kept garden made of a single kind of flower surrounding it. The only area that was not surrounding the pond that did not have flowers around had something else instead. It was figure about two feet stall and around one hundred pounds. The dark blue metal they were mostly made shone as the sun reflect off them. While they were being constantly hit by the sun's wave they were not hot or anything. Mostly because this figure was none other then Mecha Cream and robians did not have feeling nor have a sense of hot nor cold.

Standing here at the edge of the Chao Garden that still stood outside her former home. She just stared straight head her central processor focus only on what she was currently doing. That being her weekly Chao gathering route. In her report to Robotnik she had give the information that to maximize the amount of Chao she sent to him. That it would be best if she did not take every Chao that had come by, since overtaking them might lead to sudden drop in the amount that comes by. Thus after giving rather detail report on the manner, she gave the numbers that she could get. If she went about taking Chao only certain days where they came the least, it would not discourage other Chao from coming or even realizing what was going on. Her finding were that just one chao was enough to power well over dozen robots and machines once roboticized, since they were used as the power battery. This being the only Chao Garden that he knew of and best place research them as well as Chaos Energy itself. He allow her to do as she wished rather then just draining the place dry.

Also another reason that Robotnik went along with her suggestion was that she reported that even on the slowest day the Chao Garden got at least a dozen Chao. With more and more seeming to show up all the time. It seem that among the Chao this garden in particular seem to become very popular one among Chao kind. With news spread amongst Chao kind getting them from all over to come here. Although what did seem to spread amongst the Chao was how some just seem to vanish never to be seen again. Apparently Unit 3185113 always left one alone and since unless she made her presence known. The lone Chao did not seem look at her as threat or anything more then just interesting toy that look like the friendly girl that story said lived around here. That would play and care for them.

None of them were aware that the 'toy' was in fact the girl herself as she had been turned into nothing more then robot that simply standing over them waiting for them to go to sleep. Until then she just let them play with her in anyway they wanted showing no resistance to what they did. Moving her arms and legs, flapping her ears, even to pulling on her tail. There were even those that stood on her head and jumped off it like it was a diving board causing the water to splash on her body.

As for why the Chao kept coming back here and increase numbers was because their was rumor that amongst the Chao. That the girl still lived in the area thus the reason the garden was always so well kept and neat. Others were rather unkempt, grass too tall, and other animals did not get in the way. Chao did not have really have predators yet still did not like gather around other animals. So if there were already other animals in the water of a Chao Garden they tend to just stay away and find another place. Since Cream's Chao Garden was not like this (mostly because she scared the animals into staying away) it became a well used on.

Of course once the Chao had tired themselves out and well just fell asleep seeming feeling safe here . This was where the young rabbot springs into action gathering all of them but a single one. This single one would awake to just think that they had overslept and that the others had left them behind. When in reality they were within the house/power plant sleeping within the roboticizer. Some of them never even awaken as the air of being non-threatening that Mecha Cream seem to have amongst the Chao, allow her to do this. So soon there they were Chao no more as the roboticized turned them into nothing more then power batteries. For the only Chao that was not rendered immobile through the process of roboticization was Cheese and the reason was one that Cream could care about. That was because there no real reason to study this as Robotnik had no need for mobile robian Chao as he was only interested in using them as power source. That and Cream did not see Cheese as Chao anymore but simply a personal accessory unit that she owned.

With her current patch of Chao now fully roboticized and utterly immobile her role in dealing with them for now was over. She was about to ready move on to examining the data she gather from watching them as from this she would determine which one were to be shipped to her master, Lord Robotink. Then which ones she would keep for herself to continue her research on Chaos Energy and Chao in general.

However that was interrupted when Mecha Cheese came hovering over to tell her the a shipment from their Lord had come. Her interest peak or at least as much as could be in her robotic state, Cream went to the basement. Here was the secret tunnel that had failed in allow her to escape to safety had been converted to shipping point for things coming from and going to Robotropolis.

Cream ticked her head to the side as there was only one box that was left there. She rarely had any contact from her former mother or Unit 935. That really did not bother her at all as she felt nothing for either robian as she did not have feelings. Though there was usually more then just one medium size box that she could simply carry herself back to her lab to examine.

Lowering the box she looked around it, curious to see what she had been given by Robotnik. Shipments like this were the closest thing that she got that could somewhat qualify as 'gifts' in sense. Strangely treating it like it was present, she carefully opened the box and looked inside to see what she had been given this time around.

Strangely enough what she found within the box was quietly possibly one of the most interesting things she had seen since that faulty robian that was like her. They were gave her weeks of interesting research material after she had literally stripped them down to a very basic frame. If anyone was look that dog robian now they would not even be able to tell that they were once anything. Cream had stripped them down that much for the sake of her curiosity.

For within this box was what appeared to various parts of robot that had dark teal color and note that she found at the bottom of it after spreading the parts on her research table. The note only had one order from Robotnik written on it saying 'take care of this'.

Looking over the pieces that they have laying in front of her. Rather then taking them apart to see how much she could learn from that. What she decided to do instead was piece them back together to see what she had been given by her master.
