Moment of Truth

Prompts = Help, Under, Much

Fortunately, Noncy the defunct robot didn’t explode. But it keeps making strange cursing sounds as if it suffers robot version of Tourette Syndrome. Aera carefully removes chips from its head and puts them under the microscope. They are not genuine originals! Someone, possibly the mining company who used to own it replaced them with cheap knock-offs.

With the help of her cousin who recycles and reconditions certified high-end processors, she has acquired authentic chips and installs them.

It’s a much anticipated moment of truth: Will Noncy be back in operation?
