Contrary to Honker's expectations, Pietro didn't really offer any input. Oh, he would, in little places, in little ways, a nudge here and a nod there. But if he told the kids too much, then the project would not be theirs. It would be a reflection of his own work. So for now, he would let them work through the problem themselves, and take notes so that the science would be real.

"Okay," Ruby said. She drummed her claws on the table again. "Okay. I'm going to send you the codelogs, and you can help me go through them, but first, talk to Prometheus. See if he recognizes you."

“So…” Ruby’s brow furrowed as she considered this. “So… when I tried to fix his memory, I may have done that, and just made it so he couldn’t communicate with us?”

She drummed her fingers on the table, and looked back to her little ai. “Okay. An experiment. Prometheus-” She gave him a weak smile. “Do you know who I am?”

“I’m different.”

“You sure as shooting are…” She sighed. “Okay. Someone write that down so it’s officially science.”

“Already on it,” Pietro said, scribbling away on a notepad that had appeared from the recesses of his chair during the conversation.

“We could compare current files to their previous versions; check the differences and try to narrow down what works best.” Honker already had his phone back out and unlocked as he proposed this course of action. He frowned thoughtfully at his handheld screen for a moment but a moment later, though, as he considered what they were about set to do.

Locking and setting his phone down, Honker pulled his backpack around to open it and quickly dug in. Out came his tablet, which was quickly followed by an Aquafang wireless keyboard. He switched both on and let them automatically pair as he set the tablet into its designated slot on the keyboard.

“If we work together to compare and contrast the changed portions of code, we may be able to narrow down where parts of his system stopped being compatible with each other and figure out how to readjust to consolidate.”

The young avian turned his attention from setting up his tablet to his companion with a hopeful smile, eager to help her see her project through. He also passed a curious glance towards Dr. Polendina, valuing the opinion of such an experienced and brilliant mind in the room with him.
