"It's right here around the corner, you can't miss it!'
The day was fair. Mizu had been in Shibuya for just a week now, settling into his life with the career of his life. Finally, he was doing what he'd been spending the last 25 years of his life preparing for. And now, a river in his area was in need of some testing and cleaning. Just perfect. As he rounded the block, the river came into sight.
"This is the river," the elderly woman said. "Years ago it used to be pristine and beautiful. It was the centerpiece of the park. And now it's like this." Her disappointment was palpable, to say the least. The river was in truly abhorrent condition, filled with trash and gunk of all kinds. It was a sad sight.
He turned to thank the woman who'd led him here before seeing she'd gone. She must have slunk off after showing him the river. It was definitely strange though, she'd seen very nice and he at least wanted to thank her, but she had completely disappeared. Well, no lingering on it, now the work was to begin.
First step, gear up. He set his bag down in the park and got his test kit and coat with ID out, putting it on. Second step, get down to business. He wanted to run three tests: one on the oxygen composition of the water, one on the toxicity, and one on the chemical composition of the water.
Suddenly, however, something caught Mizu's eye. A small, white piece of technology was poking up above the black sludge. He moved forward to bring it out, grabbing it from the water. It was a small white device with an LCD screen, and a small blue wave across the button. It also had a large button with left and right arrows at the bottom, and two arrows up and down next to the screen. The screen also read the message "BOOTING". After a few seconds, it showed an egg wobbling. What was this thing?
