Archie and Herman have kept Reed and Skylar up-to-date on the progress made with the new assistant. After the final tests, they let the new assistant choose his own name. He didn't come up with one for awhile as he explored various avenues of awareness. Then one day, he became interested in art after viewing many museum galleries on-line. One artist in particular pleased him the most. 'I choose for my name, Michelangelo!' he said with authority in his voice. 'Very good!' exclaimed Archie. Herman didn't know what to think since his interests were far removed from art. But he was glad to be able to call the new assistant by his new name. Michelangelo did some intensive studies at many art related sites and became excited about color, style, design and technique. His mind was starting to overload and Archie and Herman were afraid he might lose his balance. Then Archie had an idea. He got a huge canvas, brushes, oil paint and asked Michelangelo if he would like to express his ideas on it. Michelangelo was overjoyed. He hadn't quite been able to put his finger on what it was he wanted to do, but when Archie suggest painting, everything came together for him. He worked on his piece for several days after brainstorming with Archie and Herman on solving the various problems they were having with the project they were currently working on. After Reed and Skylar arrived. They were introduced to Michelangelo. They had a very animated visit, the five of them and covered many subjects of interest dear to all of them. Finally, Archie had to show off how proud he was of the new assistant. 'That mural on the far wall was done by Michelangelo! What do you think of it?' he asks his two patrons. Both Reed and Skylar were amazed and pleased that something as sophisticated as the mural was a creation of a (shall we say) machine. Reed spoke first and said, 'I think you have quite the prodigy here, Archie. Will you encourage him in this pursuit. I believe he has talent!' 'We will see how well he progresses.' says Archie. But I thank you both for your words of encouragement. I think Michelangelo appreciates hearing them as well!' 'That would be affirmative!' states Michelangelo. And everyone chuckled in agreement.
