	Traveling through the lush jungles was so much more than Jeff had prepared for. He knew that Melisa’s camp was a short hike from the drop off site where her jeep was parked, but those were well worn and plotted trailers. This was the wild and untamed jungle. The bug spray did little to ward off insects, though it kept most of the buzzing away from him. Sydney, moving along behind Jeff, had no troubles with insects. Occasionally they would land on her skin and plunge a proboscis into her artificial flesh, finding nothing of value and then leave.

 A small wisp of white smoke curled upwards from the circuit board held firmly in place between two articulated clamps. A Third articulated arm protruded from the heavy base as well, though it was capped with a magnifying glass and helped Jeff clearly see the finite soldering work in front of him. Once he could see the spot he had been working on, his eyes flicked over the work he had done. He had been soldering wires into this particular bread board for the last hour and his hands were starting to cramp from the meticulous work.

 Jeff briefly contemplated what life, alone, in his family house would be like. Maybe he should get a cat or something. Just something else to help occupy the emptiness in the house. His eyes flicked, briefly, to the tips of the robotic fingers that were cradling his book. Blinking several times he found himself stupidly stunned that he hadn’t figured out the solution to his dread sooner.
+==Chapter Two==
 Two years had fully passed since the accident that robbed Jeff and Melisa of their family. In that time Melisa had earned her internship as a field archeologist. On top of that she had written enough grants and organized enough of her doctorate to begin the process of graduating early. It was amazing what money took care of in the education world.

 And he did have something in mind. Something special that he thought Melisa would enjoy.

 Ordering the thing was a bit of an exercise in restraint. While he wanted to throw his considerable amount of disposable income at it, he found that doing so would cut into his spending significantly. He also, wisely, remembered that this was an experimental prototype. Whatever unit he ordered would arrive and be promptly dismantled and reconfigured to suit Melisa’s needs. There was going to be plenty of programming, trial and error, and the very real possibility that this might just fail. Investing a large chunk of money into it seemed like a poor choice.

 “If you want I can send you back and make it bigger.” Jeff snapped back and then there was once again laughter in the house.

 Slapping his palms into his knees and pushing himself to his feet, Jeff let out a single “welp” and stretched. His mind was buzzing with all the possibilities and hidden meanings behind the recent development with SYDbot. He just knew that between excitement to fly out to Brazil and thinking of what else SYDbot’s AI might be capable of, that he was not going to sleep well tonight.

 The four seater, single prop airplane sat idling on the taxiway. The back seats were filled with bags, equipment, tools, a few spare parts for the SYDbot, and a small paper bag field with real chocolate, granola bars, and some other treats for Melisa.
