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...
