Rintarou did notice how his student seemed to look at his inventions with curiosity, which immediately pleased him. Her gaze seemed to be stuck on his actual research, the nano battery, for a few moments before she answered his question. Rintarou looked up at her from his chair and nodded.
“You’re not the first one to ask about it today”, he said. “Must be an error in the text book. It’s refering to Newton’s second law of motion.”
She told him what her name was. Well, he had been close at least. Her nickname piqued his interest, though. “Pidge?”, he repeated. “Where does that come from?”
Rintarou was delighted when she showed interest in his research. Asking about his inventons was always the easiest way right into Rintarou’s heart, and he decided immediately that he liked this student. Plus, it sounded like she was an inventor herself. Which probably shouldn’t surprise him, seeing as she studied Engineering and Computer Science. He pointed at the coffee machine. “This? That’s just a little experiment to relax. I’m trying to modify the coffee machine so it will filter out all coffee molecules when you run coffee through it, and you get coffee powder and water out of it.”
So far, he either got muddy water or gooey brown dirt out of it, but he had just started working on it today, so he was positive he could work it out soon.
“You made a robot?”, he asked interested.
“Thanks so much “ She said as she quickly made a note in the book to the theory it was looking at. The problem was a lot easier then she thought with the theory actually available. Her professor asked about her nickname and she took a breath pondering for a second to condence the story effectivly.
‘Well I got my nickname in a strange way. I actually got in a lot of trouble as a kid for hacking and Pidge was a hacker name I choose because on pokemon red I defeated the elite four with just a pidgeotto so I took Pidge as my hacker name but my friends found out and started calling me that as well. It is at the point where it actually feels weird to be called Katie despite it being my fist name.”
“as for the robot I did make him from scrap, his name is Rover. I’m looking to design him to be able to fly or be able to switch his A.I to another vessel depending on what I need, but I have to do a design overhaul. The A.I is pretty basic but he is extremely useful.” she smiled as she looked back at her professor’s experiment.
“as for the experiment, is it possible to add another filter maybe doing a separate one for both the water and grounds for the right mixture?”
