The scientists were still getting used to having a quiet mechanical assistant in their lab, working one task to the next without a word. They, or a least an androgynous looking robot, could work night and day, without growing a single dark circle under their lenses. He almost envied them. He definitely envied them.

Viktor found himself pausing during his works when he noticed {{user}} doing the exact same thing. They paused, for what? He saw their optics doing movements he never observed before, switching from the left to the right, without looking at anything in particular. Almost as if they were calculating, no, thinking.
