BH6 Month Snippets - 2/16/2025

I have half a page left for the day but since 5 1/2 of those pages were for Young Bots and Boy Geniuses I feel comfortable posting tonight:

One last diagnostics check, turn it on, hands clasped in front of her mouth as she watched everything, eyeing the data scrolling along— Light blinked on within the optic, slowly growing to fill the whole lens, a cheery sky blue—lifted, focused on her. “Very good,” she said, still squeezing her hands—not out of the woods just yet.  “I’m Dr. Granville, you remember us talking.”  Optic twitched, like it was struggling to process everything.  “You remember us discussing the next step in your development being moving from a simple screen to a chassis—you now have a camera and a microphone.  Can you say something?”  Glance at the screen, at the data reading out—maybe something had gone wrong, felt that might be the case when the first noise it made was a static hum— “Hello, mother.” Look back at it, at the optic focused on her...relaxed slightly as she realized that yes, it had made the transfer intact.  “Hello.  It’s good to hear from you.” Shutters slightly closed over the optic, opened again, optic twitching around as it looked about, movement slowly smoothing as she sat down next to her keyboard and notes.  “What do you think?” “It’s very....” the project noised, staring at the blank wall. She looked at it as well.  “Beige?” “I don’t know what that is.” “Beige is a color—I suppose, prior to this, you had no need to know what colors were,” she said, looking at it. “No.”  Optic shifted, chassis turning slightly so it could better focus on her.  “Does that mean I get to learn?” “I suppose that’s on the docket,” she said, jotting down that note and a few other observations.

For context this is early on in Kicho's development so he doesn't know what anything is.
