"Sweet. There is no other word to describe how utterly sweet this is."

The brown packaging paper slid away and revealed the metal crate, pressure locked with an authorization keypad. Hopping from foot to foot, Janus punched in the code he had received via e-mail the other day, grinning like a school girl on prom night.

The front hatch popped and gave a loud hiss of escaping air, presenting a ridge for Janus to dig his fingers into and yank open with an almost desperate fervor. "There she is!"

Sightless grey eyes towered over him. Auburn hair jutted out in an unruly mop atop the computer's head, framing a baby face with charmlingly plump cheeks. Broad shoulders framed a-
