Tiffany suspected that they had already gotten together, but they were still trying to maintain their professional appearance in public.
It was quite easy to guess why they would want to do such a thing since their relationship being known to others could create several problems within the gang when it came to others doubting if Butch's decisions would be tainted by his feelings for her.
There would be those who would think he would be giving Puck favourable treatment while others would see Puck as being a potential weakness that could be exploited if Butch truly cared for her.
They were in the early stages of their relationship, which would be another reason for them wanting to keep those things to themselves until they were fully able to confirm their feelings for each other and knew that they both were happy being together.
The car drove out of the city before arriving at the location where there were several storage units.
One of Tiffany's contacts had handled everything from the purchasing of the unit with an anonymous name and other information before having someone prepared to accept the delivery once it arrived.
The box had already been checked over for any signs of there being anything dangerous being added.
After it was checked over, it was opened and the contents were removed before it was placed in the middle of the room where it was left sitting far away from the entrance to it.
Nothing else was inside with it after the box had been dismantled and taken away, so it had been confirmed that there was nothing attached that could have potentially been used to trigger some form of dangerous reaction.
Since there was no bomb or other device attached to the boxing, it had been confirmed that the initial potential danger that could have existed was not there.
Another person was made to inspect it a little more as they were told to check to see if anything else was installed inside of the prototype that had not been asked for.
That included any other parts of the mechanics that were involved in it that were made to look like they would be controlled as if each of the parts would be controlled using a remote control or some other device.
Nothing had been confirmed to have been placed inside it, which ruled out the possibility of a bomb being planted inside it that could be set off.
They were then ordered to cause damage to the wiring that was connected to anything that had a receiver on it that could be connected to any other device wirelessly.
If there was a reason for that, then it was that those things did not need to work like they were supposed to, and it could be said that if anyone investigated it, then they could just figure out that those parts would be damaged during the time they attacked the prototype.
If they attacked or tried to subdue the prototype before investigating it further, then they would be able to guess that the damage would have been done by them rather than thinking that such things would have never worked to begin with.
If Gideon ever thinks of installing anything else that he could tap into, then that would make it quite simple for him to gain more information on anyone who came into contact with the prototype, so such things needed to be checked over.
If there did exist anything that could be connected wirelessly, then it was already disabled before Tiffany started to travel toward where it had been stored, so it was highly unlikely that Gideon posed any threat to her.
There always existed possibilities of what he could have done to something he created, so even the prototype could be turned into something that could have harmed Tiffany or could have let Gideon discover her real identity or appearance.
If she was not careful enough, then their current working relationship could easily fall apart, and she could even end up suffering as a result of that, so she had to keep her guard up during every transaction.
Certain precautions needed to be taken when she was using anything that Gideon created, especially if it was made using parts or objects that she had yet to make contact with, since she would have to make contact with anything that she did not yet have control over.
Light started to enter the room as the door was unlocked, and it started to creak as it was opened.
A small shadow started to move along the light as it slowly crawled inside before the door closed once more.
It was soon revealed that it was not a person who had entered, but it was a single arm that was crawling toward the prototype that was positioned in the middle of the room.
The arm was crawling across the ground before reaching the prototype and reaching out to grab onto it.
It stayed in that position for quite some time, but nothing seemed to happen on the surface that could be noticed.
What others would not be able to see was that the moment the hand made contact with the prototype, the prototype started to slowly transform.
Slowly, it was being transformed by the touch of the detached arm, and it was coming to life a little at a time until full control could be gained over every single part of it.
The arm retreated once everything was over with, as it headed back toward the door, which left the door unlocked, allowing it to leave.
The room soon became quiet once more as the sound of a car starting up outside could be heard before it got further away.
The prototype started to slowly come to life as its eyelids moved, followed by the fingers, until larger parts of the body started to move.
A young female voice that belonged to Tiffany came from it as the mouth opened. "Finally. I got myself a new body. Not bad!"
