Rob was apparently commandeering one of the workshops. He'd moved a large amount of equipment from his building and was currently taking inventory and getting everything working.
Sitting in the center of the room was what looked like a large vat.

A psychic redhead popped her head in.
"What you doooooing?"

"Hijacking the network at the moment," Rob says, "My new project needs a lot of processing power."
"How about you? Eat any planets lately?"

"That's not me. You're thinking of the guy with the silly hat."

"I must be," Rob says, picking up a tablet and starting up a few systems, "My mistake."
Picking his hat off a nearby table, Rob puts it on and adjusts it carefully.

Rob walks over to the edge of the vat and carefully removes the lid. Inside is a green slightly pulsating gel of some sort. A low hum fills Altamira's head.

"Sentient artificial matter," Rob says, "Careful. It has low level telepathy. Not much consciousness to speak of but it can get on your nerves."

"How much do you know about the sentience quotient?" Rob asks.

"Let's just say it's not quite as sentient as lobster but more then a rock," Rob says.

"For science!" Rob shouts suddenly, "....I mean, why else?"

"I create something amazing and you're asking why?" Rob says stalking around the room, "Science is about discovery. Leave the 'why' for the businessman and the philosophers. I'm only concerned with the how."

"It's self-replicating programmable matter that's telepathic," Rob says, "Once I have the interface set up the better question is what won't I be able to do with it."

"But basically I'm planning on using it to make configurable tools and apparatus at first," Rob says, "Machines that can repair themselves at adjust themselves to the project as needed."
