Her form was quite comical as she put three feet forward and pushed the fourth back forcefully to ensure speed and momentum. Her six hands trembled with every step, scrambling to complete chaotic and complex tasks. Her ears heard acutely what the world needed from her. She had assigned one of the prosthetic hands the task of writing down orders. She thought she might need two extra eyes, or perhaps four, then set about arranging a suitable place for them in her new mechanical body. "Everything must fit and adapt to the environment," she nodded to herself with an inaudible inner voice. "I will place two extra eyes on the back of my head to be able to monitor a 360-degree view. This is better... and I will save the remaining two eyes for emergencies... who knows? I might need them if one or more go out due to the heavy workload piled on my head!" "How wonderful it is not to need anyone with the ability to implant extra organs to keep oneself in service," she said to herself, a smile never leaving her lips.
