[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3325153, member: 17691"] The diminutive black probot slowly circles around the open container, focusing its large central photoreceptor microscopically through the devices' outer-casings to study its fine circuitry. Both DRK-1X itself and Derek back aboard the [I]Venerable[/I] pause to admire the twin devices; each a marvel of modern data-processing and holo-projection technology. The two belt mounted devices are worth more than the [I]Venerable[/I] itself, including its recent upgrades. Only Four's nanobot colony or Derek's own exquisitely designed bio-systems approached their level of sophistication. Concluding its examination the black spherical probot returns to facing the man who had busied himself with inhaling toxic fumes.
