Several minutes had passed since SU-01 decided to wait for Anni to show up. After a while, a transmission message displayed on his HUD.

----------
TRANSMISSION
----------
From : Vykkers Conglomerate. Advanced Systems and Robotic Section.
To : Security Unit 01
Subject : New component arrival

A new component has been designed for your unit and is on its way to your assigned facility in a secured container. A High Ranked Vykker Executive with appropriate accreditation will proceed to your upgrade and perform regular maintenance on your systems if needed. ETA : 5 minutes. Please head to your facility's main access immediately (Commonly FeeCo Train Depot).

----------
END OF TRANSMISSION

"Well, finally something interesting" he thoughts. Better get going then. It's not like that Mudokon is going to show up anytime soon, anyway..."

After a few minutes, SU-01 finally reached the FeeCo Depot. He got there just in time, with robotic precision, as the train was already here, slowing down in a loud brake noise. He get closer to the massive engine and he noticed it was not the typical Glukkon-Head shaped model. This one had the shape of a Vykker's head. Probably to remind that they invented this technology in the first place. He had seen this model while browsing the virtual blueprints when he was guarding the restroom. Apparently, it was only used to transport expensive high-tech machines and during secret operations that the Conglomerate didn't want the Magog to know about. It was heavily reinforced with bulletproof windows and was black like a regular train. The large "Vykkers Conglomerate" logo was painted on the side of it. The engine was only pulling one wagon, heavily reinforced as well. As the train completely stopped, the door slowly opened, revealing the inside.

"Well, SU-01. Long time no see ?" said someone inside. A Vykker in a clean white coat got out of the train. "How is your mission going ?"

"Good day, professor. Sadly since my arrival, I failed to have a private interview with the Director or his Assistant. I may also have encountered a malfunction for an undetermined period of time..." he replied.

"Yes, I've heard about it. I even had to reboot you remotely."

"No, I'm talking about another malfunction. This one occurred without leaving a trace. Not even a log file. I just entered a room and then...I rebooted in another part of the factory."

"Hmm... I'll have to see that back at the labs. For now, let's just upgrade your armor, shall we ? This will surely help you and your communications skills. Because talking to a three meters tall heavy armored robot is not the best way to communicate efficiently, we have designed this detachable, security orb shaped, 3D hologram projector. It will allow you to recreate your...well...former body. You just have to unload it from the wagon and let me do the job."

"Thanks, this will help me getting to that paranoid Glukkon without a doubt." he said while unloading the crate. Minutes later, he was successfully upgraded and the Vykker had collected some maintenance logs and other various files.

"I will contact you as soon as we have solved your new malfunction problem. Until then, why not try out your new feature ?" said the Vykker while the train was slowly leaving the station.

"Affirmative, professor" the robot answered.

The train left and SU-01 found himself in the now silent station. He stayed here for a moment, thinking about the best way to get to talk to Arnie.
