Gina rubbed at her eyelids to clear her blurry vision. Slowly but surely, she could make out the fuzzy image of Crono's yellow cat staring at her face. The pockets of her cheeks carried hints of an oily flavor and a swollen pain on the back of her neck caused some mild discomfort. More uncomfortable was the tile kitchen floor she had found herself waking up on. Gradually, she pieced together what had led to her being here, but similarly to the morning after meeting Marle, it seemed her memory did not wish to come back in full; she remembered the tall form of Janus at the very least. The memory of going down on her mysterious visitor and receiving no gratification in return crept up, once again arousing her ire and sexual frustration.

As soon as Gina had managed to pull herself up and dust off her apron, the sound of the front door opening made her leap, clutching her heart. What if Janus had returned for revenge? The doorknob turned. At first, Gina could not believe her eyes. An enormous man, not taller than Janus but significantly wider, entered her house. He seemed to be composed entirely of a golden-brown metal she could not identify, and made crunching sounds with each step. He dragged a wrinkly blue tunic that, unmistakably, contained a very sleepy young man.

"CRONO?!" Nothing could stop Gina from rushing to see her son. Time stopped as she dashed to the boy's side and grabbed his collar, shaking him furiously before engulfing him with her embrace. "You didn't rob his grave, did you?" she asked the metallic stranger, completely forgetting to introduce herself.

It began to speak, but a familiar girl's explanation interrupted. "Crono will be just fine, Gina." Never in her life had Gina felt more pleased to see Lucca. She stifled a laugh, though; she couldn't look at the girl without remembering the wonderful toy in her room. All three of the kids were caked in what smelled like salt water and looked both cold and miserable.

"My circuits require a brief recharging period. I am waterlogged, Lucca. By my calculations, I believe the greatest damage has been suffered by memory sectors A and F," the robot said.

"Goodness...!" Its voice sounded like... numbers, Gina thought. However, the fact that it could speak so well took her off guard. She turned to the girl. "Lucca, is THIS one of your inventions?"

Lucca began to explain, but the robot interfered this time, bowing to his hostess. "Greetings. I am Robo. Crono is my friend."

"My, how polite!" Something about the guy made her feel safe and at ease. "Strange looking, but well behaved!" She looked at her son, who she had not seen awake for several days. "Crono, you could learn a thing or two." She beamed, elated enough by Crono's survival to look past the bizarre situation.

"I'll take him up to bed, ma'am," Lucca said, with a flash of a naughty grin.

"No, allow me, Ms. Lucca." Robo interjected, almost gliding over to Crono and lifting the boy onto his shoulders, amazing Gina with his strength. She expected him to crash down on the steps, but his movement proved surprisingly light-footed. Once Robo had made it out of hearing distance, Gina turned to Lucca, giving the girl a stern expression.

"Now, just what the devil is going on here, Lucca? I hear that my son has been executed, and I'd just about gotten sick with grief, then you come barging in here with this... charming thing, covered in some sort of sludge..."

Lucca quickly explained (leaving out as many details as possible) that the three of them had spent the last few days traveling with Marle, and had just returned from Medina Village, where they ran in to a bit of a snafu with a monster, but had made it out alive.

"That's an awfully far-off road trip, missy. And none of you told your parents, I assume? Where is Marle, anyway?" Gina wanted to see the pretty young girl again, just to confirm that she was alive too.

Before Lucca could continue, Robo came charging down the steps again. "Crono is well, Ms. Gina. Might I have some time off to recharge now?"

"Certainly, dear. My home is yours," she told the nice metal man. "You may sleep on the couch, if that would accommodate you. It's a bit small."

Robo gave a sort of metallic smile. "That will not be necessary Ms. Gina, but you are most generous." Lucca walked up to her new friend and hit a few buttons on his back module.

"Rest well, R66-Y," she said, grinning at him strangely. Gina raised her eyebrow. Robo's circuits made a weak groaning noise and he shut down, resting against the wall of the staircase and leaning slightly forward. He looked as if he'd never been moving or speaking at all now.

"Is he going to be all right?" Gina asked. She'd heard enough rumors of death this week for anything to make her worried.

"Robo just needs some time off." Lucca fingered her glasses. "I'll turn him back on tomorrow morning and make some minor repairs. My parents would probably appreciate seeing me tonight."

"Take care of yourself, Lucca. And say 'Hello' to Marle for me!" The scientist left the little house, waving to her friend's mother.

"Curious," Gina muttered, eying the technological wonder Lucca had left behind. "That girl said something about trying to build a 'humanoid.' This must be what she meant." Gina looked toward Crono's room, wishing she could talk to her son and make his return feel more real. "All he does is sleep and leave home these days," she sighed. Their reunion would have to wait.

Instead, she walked over to Robo and placed a palm on his shoulder. Although he was metallic, Robo felt as if he'd been designed to come in contact with humans, and did not feel especially rough or hard to the touch. "That Lucca has definitely surpassed her father," she said, amazed by how human the robot looked. While there were some differences in anatomy, Robo certainly resembled a chubby human soldier, protected by the armor on his torso. His rocket pack looked just like one of Crono's hiking bags, and even his artificial feet seemed tailored to the appearance of heavy combat boots. While Robo's screw-like eyes lacked the gelatinous texture of her own, Gina noted the intelligence radiating from them. She couldn't resist manually exploring his structure, pausing to take in every detail. Gina's examination brought her to the robot's belly, which was covered by some kind of leather draping. A small depiction of Guardia's royal crest had been printed on to a tag sticking out of the front-most flap. "A patriotic fellow, I see." Maybe Lucca designed him to work in the castle?

Satisfied, Gina turned and walked off to check on Crono, but a curious thought stopped her short. She returned to the decorated covering below Robo's stomach and moved it over. Remembering Lucca's vibrator made her suspicious about just how accurate Robo's anatomy was. The front of the robot's crotch contained an apparent ventilation shaft and a small panel. Gina couldn't help but notice that the panel seemed to be made of shinier material than the rest of his body, as if it had been installed recently. Out of sheer curiosity, Gina licked her lips and touched the panel. Nothing happened. "Guess not," she said, slightly disappointed. She gave the panel a quick knock as a last experiment.

Robo sprang to life, seizing Gina in to his arms, eliciting a yelp. The reaction was immediate and caught her completely off guard. Robo's voice sounded more metallic and inhuman all of a sudden. "AUXILARY POWER TERMINAL C ACTIVATED. PROGRAM 'ASHTEAR69' ENGAGED."

"Oh wonderful, what have I gotten myself in to now?" Gina wondered aloud; she debated yelling for Crono, but wanted to make sure Robo had actually become dangerous. There was a sound similar to one of Taban's power tools running, and what felt like a thick, hard pole bumped up against her rear. "Oh."
