Putting the band back together!
The signals had been pinging at him ever since he got on board. The global positioning relays in each of his pets. The maps in his head were now useless, he'd have to upload the ship's map into his databanks, but he could still locate them through trial and error. It had taken him a while, the ship had more twists and turns than an ant's nest.
Finally, he found what he was looking for, a part of the ship that the omnicomm indicated as 'Engineering'. The name wasn't important, he walked in anyway, trusting that they wouldn't mind a guest. Still following their beacons, he wanders deep into the piles of spare parts, eventually finding what he was looking for. Bits of blue, green, red. Disassembled for easy storage, it seemed. Still, grinning happily, he pulls them loose and heads back over to the work areas, thunking everything onto a table before borrowing a few tools. (He'd put them back!)
Rock settles down on the table himself, picking up some soldering tools and adjusting their settings with expert ease. He had been, after all, originally built as a lab assistant for physics and robotics experiments. Anyone wandering into Engineering will likely find him working, face screwed up in concentration, as he proceeds to assemble his three 'pets'. He looks perfectly in his element, and moves like someone with decades more experience than a ten year old kid could possibly have.
