It was Edlie, the only other woman in the team, who first noticed Mine's fingers move. She had seen them flex a while ago, but had rejected the idea , as wishful thinking. But this time it surely was for real. The first, second and third fingers rose and fall, one by one, forming a lively wave.
Edlie did not belong here, at least not because of her immaculate and slender appearance, the companies she kept and most of all because the way she hated science as a philosophy. The thing that kept her here was her addiction for numbers and her inability to refrain from the euphoric pleasure of thinking outside the box, especially in the domain of cutting edge technology. If she wouldn't be here, she would surely be an air hostress.
It was she , who had once talked about a ternary system rather than a binary system which would be the common language between humans and robots in the future. And just for fun had even developed a system and tried to teach it to everyone around. Only Mine was interested . It did not include fingers then.
"He wants us to know that he is ok", she said.
By the time she had finished saying it, she had also figured out that even if Mine could not hear right now, he would be surely able to sense a touch on the fingers. And as she paced towards the chassis, eyes fixated on the fingers, her mind was translating "hi Mine" into FING3RS.
