OPEN TO Stephen Leland
Late at night...
"Almost done...there!" Amon exclaimed, tightening the last bolt.
"Impressive," noted Abby.
"You also succeeded in making her sane," chimed Abe.
"Oh shut up," Amon replied. He had just finished the clockwork doll for Charles, and he surprised himself: he was able to make her pleasing to the eye without making making her...you know...
"Well now...time to do one last programming test, and we should be good to go," he said, winding the doll up. A few turns later, and the doll awoke.
"Hello sister," the Twins said in unison. The doll nodded at them, then turned to Amon.
[Status report.] he clicked.
[All systems operational.] she replied.
[Main function summary.]
[Protect Stephen's private employment. Provide entertainment, financial assistance, surveillance, and any other forms of assistance to the household, so long as it does not interfere with previous function. If so, find ways to cover and/or support Stephen. Finally, greet guests.]
[Primary override summary.]
[Keep Project: Seed and this language a secret at all costs, overriding any and all main functions and future functions.]
"Good," Amon said, nodding in approval. "See you in the morning."
The doll nodded her head before closing her eyes and shutting down.
The next morning...
"Yeesh...what a night," Amon yawned.
"Whose fault do you think that was?" Abe asked.
"You could have started on it earlier," noted Abby.
Amon merely grumbled. It had taken yet another sleepless night, but he had finally completed Stephen and Charles' doll. Presently, she was...for lack of a better word, asleep on a chair next to the counter, wearing a blue dress. All that was left to do was to wait for the Leland pair to arrive and pick her up.
