"Master, Madam Lyra's flight will land at the nearest airport in forty-five minutes," Dame Wasp informed Ace from the front garden of the Wood Palace.
"Alright then," Ace said, rising to his feet. "How far have you guys progressed?"
"We've set up the workshop, created the Specwork toy, and were preparing to begin work on the bionic skeletal frame for my new body," Dame Wasp reported, though she seemed a bit disappointed with their progress.
"I'm impressed. You guys are fast," Ace said, genuinely complimenting her. He could see that she and Emi had accomplished a lot in a short time. Then he got to the important question, "Is the Specwork toy ready for animation?"
"Yes, Master. Would you like to inspect it before we proceed with animating it?" Dame Wasp asked eagerly. The Specwork toy was made using the advanced knowledge from her universe. While she called it a toy, the people of this world would consider it a state-of-the-art machine—centuries ahead of its time, a true miracle.
