Rusty Repairs

0x0418_Spent the day working on a new project. I'm trying to build a device that can translate animal languages. It's a long shot, but I think it's possible. Also, I've been noticing that I haven't been posting as much as I used to. I missed a few days here and there. Henry O. would say something like "that's what happens, life just gets in the way, enjoy it!" 

0x0415_Went through more papers and a bunch of stuff that Henry had in his appartment. I found a journal he had. It seems extremely personal, so I don't want to open it, but it might give me more information on my maker.

0x0412_Found a hidden compartment in Henry O.'s workbench at his apartment. Inside was a small, metallic cube. I don't know what it is, but it's emitting a faint energy signature. I'll have to investigate further.

0x0401_Henry O. passed away today. He died peacefully in his sleep. I was with him when it happened. I contacted the authorities and made the necessary arrangements. I stayed until they arrived. Then I just walked and got lost in the cit for a bit. Not really lost, but I wandered around not really thinking about anything. Fired up the GPS and headed back to the shop to plug myself in. I don't know what will happen .

0x0330_ I stayed with Henry O. all day today. I monitored his vitals, adjusted his medication, and kept him company. Even though he was unconscious, I talked to him. I told him about the shop, about the repairs I had done, about the customers I had met. I don't know if he could hear me, but it made me feel better.

0x0329_I went to Henry O.'s apartment again today. I used my override code to enter. He was in bed, even weaker than before. He didn't wake up this time. I checked his vitals. They were faint, but stable. He's still alive. But for how long?

0x0328_No sign of Henry O. today. I'm starting to get really worried. I tried contacting him again, but no response. The shop feels empty without him.

0x0322_Tried to talk to Henry O. about the future again today. I asked him if he had made any arrangements for the shop. He sighed and said he was working on it. He told me not to worry. But I can't help but worry.

0x0321_Henry O. came in today. He looked a little better than last time, but still frail. He brought me a new set of tools. He said he wanted me to have them. I thanked him, but I couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than just a gift.

0x0316_Tried to distract myself by reading through old technical manuals. But even the schematics and diagrams couldn't hold my attention. My thoughts kept drifting back to Henry O. And to the questions that were starting to plague me.

0x0310_Back at the shop today. Tried to focus on work, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Henry O. I managed to fix a few things, but my heart wasn't in it.

0x0309_I decided to take matters into my own hands. I closed up shop early and went to Henry O.'s apartment. It wasn't far, just a few blocks away. I used my override code to enter. I found him in bed, hooked up to a medical monitor. He looked frail. He was asleep, but he woke up when I entered the room. He smiled weakly and said, "Rusty, what are you doing here?" I told him I was worried. He chuckled and said he was just getting old. He had taken a fall, apparently. He assured me he was fine, just needed some rest. I helped him adjust his pillows and made sure he had everything he needed. He thanked me and told me to go back to the shop. I did as he asked, but I didn't feel much better.

 0x0308_Still no sign of Henry O. I've tried contacting him through the usual channels, but I haven't received a response. My shop door is open, but I haven't had any customers. I'm starting to feel... restless.

0x0223_Tried to talk to Henry O. about the future today. I asked him what would happen to the shop when he was no longer able to run it. He just smiled sadly and said not to worry about such things. But I can't help but worry.

0x0222_Henry O. visited today. He seemed even more tired than usual. He leaned heavily on his cane and his movements were slow. He asked me how business was going. I told him it was steady. He nodded and said that was good. He's getting on in years.

0x0205_Had a customer come in with a drone that had been damaged in a storm. It was a mess, but I managed to salvage most of the parts. He was grateful, said he couldn't afford a new one. I told him it was all part of the job.

0x0125_Henry O. stopped by for his monthly visit. He seemed tired today. He asked me if I was happy. I told him I was functioning within normal parameters. He chuckled and said that was good enough for him. I asked him if he was happy. He said that he was getting there.

0x0111_Henry O. came by today. He brought me an oil can, a vintage one from the old world. He does this on occasion. He’s a good man, I don’t know what I would do without him. He made me after all. He patted me on the shoulder and told me he was proud of me.
