Chapter 130: Beep Boop Bye

With the last of their formalities finished, Lucas, Miss Calculated, and Lorelei head out of the office together, with Lorelei intending on escorting them to the dining area.

Once they're collectively out in the hallway, Lucas can't help noticing 23 standing outside the room Miss Calculated was in earlier, staring at the door while slowly pulling it shut.

Two of 23's arms are jointly cradling a silvery metal disc, roughly similar in dimensions to a large round serving tray. On its underside is a long thick coil of cord neatly hooked in place, ending in a high-voltage electrical plug.

Noticing the approaching humans, 23 finishes closing the door at a more normal speed while turning its head to face them.
