Shovel!
Back when Ellie was designed at the Strang Institute, the scientists felt it was very important that she have the ability to repair herself, just in case she were damaged so far from a mechanic. They made it possible for her to construct simple mechanical replacement parts from items found around her. Nobody had any idea that she would use this ability to make presents. Next thing ya know, she’ll be making those crocheted Kleenex box covers.
Hey yeah, how the heck are you supposed to make sandpaper?
Maybe once the signals from that TV show “How It’s Made” catch up to her, Ellie can learn how to make sandpaper (assuming they did a show on that). Then again, how hard could it be?
In a place where no known adhesive exists? very, very hard
Oooh, now that’s pure evil…
First time I think her antennaes look like horns… Maybe because of her behaviour.
Thanks for the post, dralou! Yeah, I suppose they do look a little like horns here. You know, she wasn’t programmed to have an evil streak. Not to my knowledge anyway. I wonder where she picked that up?
Dunno. Maybe she read too much of “Imagine this” comics when she was onboard her space ship ? It’s the kind of comment i could expect from Clovis…
That’s a very thoughtful present. I like it… He probably won’t even notice the handle!
If he can complain about it he will.
