Thief doesn't move too close to the duo that King had wandered up to, staying far behind the larger robot and observing what happened. Being as small as it was, and the lingering programming that came with being a scout model, caused it to hang back and gather information before presenting itself so long as there wasn't some pressing need. It felt the touch of the creators as its eyes lit up, the computer in its brain taking in the information and outputting an analysis of the robots before it. Perhaps one of them was the machine it was searching for. (POWER TO COMPUTE: I'm scanning each of the robots here to get a read on what they are and what they can do. I'm also looking for three things specifically: the abilities to Self-Repair, Self-Replicate, and Self-Evolve.)
