I'm up ! I'm up ! Alarm clock is smashed to pieces when it bounces off the wall.

Inserts a set of micro tools and the clock pieces.

P'ter · Mar 9 2018, 03:14 AM

There's a series of metallic clatterings from inside the machine (and one loud clang from underneath it. The machine takes off down the road (pulling a wheelie) to the loud accompaniment of "Bat Out of Hell", leaving behind a chrome-vanadium torque wrench. After three minutes it noisily re-appears (it has "forgotten" to reattach the silencer) and fish-tails to a showy halt just as the track finishes; much to the admiration of a passing group of 7th-grade boys out on a school-trip.

*Inserts the chrome-vanadium torque wrench.*

Dragon Fan · Mar 9 2018, 08:04 PM

The now much quieter machine ( The Wrench was just what was needed) sits awaiting it's next deposit.

P'ter · Mar 10 2018, 05:15 PM

A robot arm appears from the machine and places the flag, now with a knot in each corner, over its top in the manner of a sunhat; and disappears round a corner.

P'ter · Mar 22 2018, 05:43 PM
