บท 195: Lunch with Moonie

The bay was quickly filling with scientists eager to see the new X137 in person. Sister Lilith had ordered more than enough for everyone, which only encouraged more people to come over, and even the sports field-sized bay wasn't going to be enough to hold them all. 

Max quickly spotted Nico, who was wearing one of the Tech Adept exosuits and gesturing with the whiplike articulating limbs as she discussed something. Max was surprised to see that they had given up on the crane-style arms so quickly, and moved to the flexible whips, despite the complexity.

Nico came over as soon as she saw him, giving Max a fist bump and hugging Moonie with her additional arms, making the shy scientist giggle. 

"After spending so long designing the chassis, I bet Moonie would love a tour, wouldn't she? Why don't you two head up there and I will bring you lunch?" Nico suggested, and Max could see Sister Lilith wink at him.
