And so they all went to the kitchen, where Jim, Ethan and Faunus dismantled the crate to reveal a shiny, white robot - while Teddy pretended to be totally disinterested.
"Now Ethan - don't do anything before we've both thoroughly read the instructions.", Jim said.
So while Ethan and Faunus read the instructions, Clare tidied away the masses of white bobbly-stuff that had prevented Bot from being damages in transit.
"It's simple - just screw off one off his right ear, and press the ON switch.", Teddy said - "And don't try to dry him in the microwave - he's not 'microwave safe' - and remember to screw the ear back on, otherwise he'll only hear in mono.", Teddy advised,
So that's what they did - and Ethan switched Bot on - and nothing happened.
Jim looked to Ethan, and Ethan looked at Faunus - puzzled, and fearful that Bot was a 'dud' - and would have to be sent back to 'Stark Industries'.
"Obviously faulty !", Ethan said
Then Bot's eyes lit up blue...
"Oh... you can talk.
You must be the 'humans' that are mentioned in my programming...", a voice said - a voice that sounded like a boy's voice before it had broken, with a Mid West American accent, that suited Bot's size vey well.
"Well, I'm a human..", Ethan replied.
"Good....
Well can you show me round this dwelling ?
You need only show me once, pal - I have a perfect memory.", Bot said.
"OK...", Ethan answered, taken rather aback by his new 'pal'.
"Well this is the dining-room - where we eat - but you obviously don't eat as you haven't got a mouth...", Ethan explained - rather awkwardly.
