"...Ah, sournois!" Achille entered spontaneously; delivering to Devious's vertebral disks a thump of sufficient power to almost shove one out of position. Almost.

"...So friend, how goes your research? Transcended the ever insolute boundaries of the laws of physics yet, or are you still poking around with masers. Now Sir, this is an opportunity for you; one for you to expand, grow, thrive; flourish like a flower on the bloom. Take your curiosity where it leads you Man - you'll find only merriment in it's execution, that I can assure you...."

He paused for breath, staring over his stoic collegues shoulder as he fought for view of the screens.

"...Very, hmm. Very impressive Sir." Achille nodded, enrapture grappling with critique. "...however, permit me to change a few lines of code, hmm? You haven't as of yet made any direct compensation for animal's direct shape... permit me to..." He fluidly produced a disposable Hardchip, inserting it into Benny's brainchild before he could object, smiling with every flicker of the screen.

"...Ah, bien!" The chip found itself soaring into a neighbouring waste receptacle. "...Several hours of laborious number-crunching tedium spurned away from you; you see Sounois, I'm nothing if not good to my children..."


He stood up, back straightening as adjusted the wandering hair that'd strayed towards his eyeballs.

"...So all is well Sir, hmm? Notify me if you're stuck over any one point; right now, a particular sandwich has my name written all over it... or at least my tooth marks."

"...Ah Sir, am I done here?"
