One of the nurses had, of course, helped Forte up after his leg cramped, and led him inside. He cursed loudly on the way inside, wondering just why this body couldn't have come with a manual or some instructions. There was always some little thing he didn't know. At least when he was a robot, he had Wily to do all the upkeep and repairs.

Forte had heard something about visitors, and there was some talk about them on the communication board, but he didn't pay any particular attention because he knew no-one would visit him - whether this was some kind of prison or research facility, even if someone knew he was here, none would care.

"We'll take you into the Sun Room where you can get some rest until dinner, Frank," the nurse said calmly. She smiled apologetically to Mr. Wilhelm and the two of them escorted Frank from the room.
