Awakening to this massive expanse of trash will be my future so I may as well mold some of it to my liking but to do that I have to get more creatures to do that I either have to make them, repair them or connect to them.

I began my almost daily routine of checking the surroundings then checking the rats but what I saw the rats doing shocked me, both of them were out and about with k03 in his den digging and ba0 fortifying her fortress.

The reason this shocked me in the first place is because it’s the first time they separated themselves for the charging wire, so I decided to check each of their codes to see what changed in them.

So, I decided to check k03’s code first and saw all the new additions such as the trophy habit it increases his mood the more organic parts, he has in his den along with that he has a target lock on ba0 set as ‘mate’ “interesting, now I feel happy that I forgot about that”, I say, then I keep going seeing that the wire is now seen as food by the both of them. The string of code still is not finished so I proceed further to see more, and finally I find the main point of interest.

A string of code dictating the average time that the wire stays on for them to be fully or mostly nourished.

As I finished looking over the text I decided to productive and issue K03 a command so we can commandeer more bots and hopefully ones with different forms. Along with him I had ba0 make a cart made out of scrap and toy wheels for him to carry anything of interest.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

I tried to look at the way that K03 is going but I realized that the cameras that were accessible can’t see over there. So, I ordered ba0 to dig up all the other cameras and roll out the wheels in the claw briefly pausing to connect a wire to the claw so it could get more charge. After charging the claw I made it roll over to the buried cameras and one by one, I made one claw reach down to pick it up and put them in an area of my choosing so ba0 can secure them with adhesive to make sure it does not move.

As we finished, I felt the signal of k03 getting closer but as he got closer, I noticed that beside him was a bigger beetle model on a mini cart husk connected by wire seemingly chewed into being connected with the wire cart I gave him at the back.

As he slowly trudged back toward us, I noticed that it was now added to my connections list along with two other robots.

As ko3 slowly trots forward ba0 scampers towards him and snuggles with him, then he continues to move toward his den, he unhooks the carts and runs down with ba0 to charge I check the connections list.
