"Yes. The Builder series is excellent, US. We made them with to evolve into being a friend as well as someone who will help with maintenance and repairs. We thought you could use the help.... since well. Poppa Wheelie and Wide Load aren't exactly getting young..."
The truck driver holds up a hand. He doesn't want to hear anymore.
"What do I do," the truck driver asked.
And so the alien tells Ulysses Solomon Archer how to activate the android known as Builder Seven-Eight-OI-B. US decided to wait on it for a while. He loaded up the container holding the android into the back of his truck. He didn't tell his family about the android.
It took him four days to decide to activate the android instead of letting him gather dust. He opens up the container and stares at the gleaming white and aqua blue automaton. He starts up the activation sequence and watches as the android becomes aware.
In Seven's way of thinking he is running through an initial start up process. Code whirls around and programs finish fully integrating themselves into his systems. He turns his head towards US and speaks for the first time.
"Greeting sentient. I am Builder Seven-Eight-OI-B. What may I repair for you?"
Seven doesn't know what else might be required of him. He doesn't know he won't be treated as property. He has no idea he will call US his friend one day soon yet it will happen. US smiles slightly at the android.
"Come on, Seven. I gotta introduce you to everyone."
Seven is confused. "Query: Who do you refer to? I detect no other life forms back here," the android asks sounding almost puzzled.
"You," US said plainly while pointing towards Seven. "Your name is pretty long. And Seven? You don't have to say 'query' before you ask a question."
Seven processes this then nods his head once. "Understood. I will try to not do that again. Is the shortening of a name common among organic life forms?"
US finds himself grinning slightly at the young android. "Well yeah. Even I use a nick name. I'm Ulysses Solomon Archer. Call me US."
Seven takes that in instantly. "As you wish, US."
Seven has the impression form that US will be teaching him many things about interacting with organics and Seven finds this somehow pleasing.
