Chapter 7: A New Name

An hour later...

Brim is smashing his face into a wall as the Digital Landscape reaches 61% charge.

Dr. Brim: "(furious) Hurry up you damn machine!"

Meanwhile...

BroBot has just hopped aboard ChuggaBot.

BroBot: "':(. ..."

Klemmens is back on communications.

Dr. Klemmens: "(awkwardly) Sorry that you had to deal with that."

BroBot: ">:( !"

Dr. Klemmens: "At least we're halfway there. After you go deal with the SlotBot at the casino, then you'll get a second dose of repairs."

The thought of repairs brings BroBot back to full power.

BroBot: ":) !"

Dr. Klemmens: "See you later."

The call cuts out as Klemmens types up another entry.

Dr. Klemmens: "(groaning) I really need to get some sleep."

He can't keep his eyes open.

Dr. Klemmens: "Non... stop... wor..."

Klemmens passes out on the desk as the tools he was using on the old Stynax drop to the floor.

Dr. Klemmens: "(snoring)"

18 months ago...

The new company building has been built and all of the hardware is in place. All it is missing is a name.

Dr. LeeAnn: "A new name..."

LeeAnn is currently trying to ponder a new name inside of her new office.

Dr. LeeAnn: "(thinking) What would I call it?"

A knock is heard at the door.

???: "(muffled) Sis? Are you in here?"

Dr. LeeAnn: "(startled) Ryan?!"

Klemmens enters the room.

Dr. LeeAnn: "How did you get past security?!"

Dr. Klemmens: "(confused) You don't have any."

Awkward moment of silence...

Dr. LeeAnn: "(awkwardly) Right..."

Dr. Klemmens: "Well uh... I heard that you didn't have a name yet and I also remember the fiasco when it took you a month to develop StrangeGear's name."

He begins rummaging through his coat.

Dr. Klemmens: "So I took the liberty of getting a name for you..."

He pulls out a patch in the shape of a gear with the Greek letter, "Alpha," in the center.

Dr. Klemmens: "AlphaGear, the first stage of a new project."

An unknown spark flickers in her eyes.

Dr. LeeAnn: "Not a bad idea..."

Dr. Klemmens: "I came up with it in the shower."

The room grows silent...

Present day...

BroBot has shaken Klemmens awake.

BroBot: "?"

Dr. Klemmens: "(drowsy) I swear I left the waffles in the bathtub!"

He remembers exactly where he is.

Dr. Klemmens: "(awkwardly) Oh yeah."

He grabs his tools...
