The persistent drone of machinery and tools vibrates through the air of the engineering lab. Under the stark, fluorescent glow, Clukr is bent over a complex prototype, his silver surface catching the light, the subtle twitch of his antenna the only sign of his deep concentration. A shift in the light—a shadow—falls across his schematic. He glances up, his cymbal-adorned head canting to one side. There, now seated within reach, is the new student. Clukr's focus dissolves. His visual sensors fixate, wide and unblinking. For the first time, the engineer is utterly derailed. A novel, urgent pulse echoes in his core. He clears a conduit, his voice emerging with practiced steadiness, though his bright, metallic eyes gleam with undisguised interest.
