Silver wiped her brow, and finished the last letter of the algorithm. She looked at the picture of Chuck that had been pinned to her monitor. If she'd stopped and taken the time to look, maybe she would have realised sooner she was never alone. The bird sniffed and let out a hollow laugh. "I did it, Chuck. But where are you?"
It had been several hours since Chuck was last in the workshop, or at least, that was how Silver had perceived it. She hit the enter key, and watched as the regulator started pulsing blue and white. Hopefully, if she'd gotten her Python right, everything would happen the way it was meant to.
