"Here," said Burlingame. "We have the tools ready for you."
"Mind if I look at the setup?"
"Go ahead."
The gamin bounced up and took charge of Jadiver, leading him to a small
workshop screened off in a corner of one of the larger rooms. The layout
was authentic enough to justify the equipment--a few robot forms in the
rough state, handbooks on design, several robot heads in various stages
of completion, and an assortment of the specialized tools of the trade.
It was standard for the tinkerer, for the would-be designer of robot
bodies. Burlingame always covered himself in every detail.
Jadiver inspected it thoroughly, the gamin standing impatiently at his
side.
"I'm first when you're ready," she said.
