Ah.

She's loud again. Mark is pretty used to this.

"Yes."

He says, holding out the container. It looks almost completely full.

Eliott looks shocked, even as she keeps hammering without looking at what she's hitting.

"YOU MAY HOLD ON TO IT FOR THE TIME BEING."

It's probably warm...

Creepy.

Mark's brow furrows.

"...you are quite skilled, to work without looking."

Since he did it earlier, he's not quite as suspicious as he could be.

"I HAVE A FANTASTIC MEMORY."

She's mostly raising her voice BECAUSE of the ruckus she's causing by hammering the metal. But it's also natural.

Still, she looks back at what she's doing now that he's pointed that out, before stopping completely.

"I feel like I'm missing a few materials." she frowns.

"The control panel isn't entirely made of metal...but other materials aren't exactly my forte..."

She's not sure how to replace all the buttons. They might just have to be the mechanism under the buttons...and she'll have to figure out which one does what.

"Are the other materials important?"

He asks, coming closer to take a better look, as if he could figure it out for her.

"Can you not just... make it work?"

"Maybe. I just mean, imagine a keyboard but all the button are off. That's what we're facing here."

"It's fine, I'm sure some of it is...usable."

Even though she says that, she starts checking how much of the control panel is still usable.

Most of the damage is to the circuitry beneath, as well as the frame of the panel itself. Eliott could theoretically work around the damage with a bit of ingenuity!

"I'm glad."

She sighs in relief. All the damaged parts are the easy part for her.

Time to fix that shit!

"Yeah, me too, actually. Can you believe that the seemingly 'basic' parts of machines are the hardest for me?"

Like. Making buttons.

Terrible.

Figuring out the inner workings of machines? Ez pz.

"That sounds.... contradictory."

He frowns a little.

"It's strange."

Eliott fixes the machine!

Yay! She's on a roll! Now she just fixes the blood sample into it and fixes up the wiring to what should be the power source before backing away.

"So three things could go wrong." she says.

"One. The power source may no longer have any charge. Two. I may not have fixed it properly...faulty wiring maybe...things not plugged where they should be...so it may just not work. Or do something else entirely. OR three. It could explode."

Like a lot of her work does in early stages.

Mark is unconcerned with the first two options.

The third, however, causes his eyes to widen.

"Should we be in this room if it does explode?"

"It probably won't." she chuckles, apparently amused that she could actually 'scare' him in any way.

"I usually deal with weapons. There's no reason for this to blow up."

Unless she missed the dynamite the creator left in it.

"Understood."

He nods, becoming relaxed again.

"I am prepared."

"Alright. Moment of truth." she takes a breath, trying to turn it on using the control panel!

The machine hums to life!

There's a bright light coming from inside, before it slowly dulls to a soft glow.

Mark blinks rapidly.

Eliott looks from the machine to Mark quickly!

"Well?" she asks when she finally settles on him.

"Do you feel...different?"

"I... I believe so....?"

It's a hard question to answer.

"I am uncertain of how to test your intelligence..." she admits. Does the machine somehow give you amazing comprehension of stuff you never learned? Or is he just really smart in whatever he already knows?

"You should ask me something. Something I would be unable to figure out previously to my exposure to this machine."

He nods.

"Hm."

Wait, she already knows one.

"What's your understanding of the way I was made?"

Since he apparently thought she was genetically modified instead of the product of artificial insemination.

He's not sure which mother though, he doesn't know them.

Hey eyes widen, and then she grins!

"Aha! Ahahahaha! YES! It works!!"

First step went without a hitch! So really, the only work that's left is refining and...shrinking everything.

"How does it feel!? Do you like it!?"

He can't keep it, probably. But it must be kinda cool.

"It's...different."

He says, furrowing his brow in that familiar way.

"I'm not sure how to describe it. It's like having a flash of inspiration, and everything that was so confusing before becomes clear."
