Chapter 4
About a year later, as the disturbing elements of the puzzle were
fitting together we would start alpha testing. In alpha testing the
development team would get a prototype droid to use in the office to
test for glitches and bugs that were left uncaught earlier in
development. The thing seemed “happy” to do some of the cleaning
work around the office, getting us coffee and me sodas (for I never
got the stereotypical taste for coffee) and would sometimes talk to
us in the staff room and would make appearances at the meetings to
see how its progressing. As it was an alpha test there were bugs and
glitches and the dam thing would have to had been restarted and
dismantled multiple times in finding the bug.
