Plot summary
Chapter One
While helping his brother clean out their mother's garage, a young man finds the head of his childhood Nandroid, Mary, hidden away behind some boxes. Theorizing that the head rolled away when her body was destroyed in an accident when he was a child, he takes the head home with him and realizes that while old and dusty, it is structurally intact and Mary could be brought back to fully working order.
For over a week, the young man collects schematics, parts, and the tools needed to be able to power Mary's head. He repairs her broken jaw, fixes the cracked and aged rubber face coating, giving Mary an inverted “Y” crack on her new face, and flushes her head of the aged blue goop Nandroids contain. After prepping the head and hooking up a jury-rigged pumping system, he powers the head and Mary is brought back to life. Unable to see, she calls out for her owners and the young man answers, assuring Mary that he's there. While she doesn't know who responded, she remarks that he "sounds familiar. Like my young master." The young man then prepares to get Mary up to speed on her situation.
Chapter Two
After explaining to Mary what had happened to her, she and the young man reminisce for the rest of the night. He explains to her how she deserves better after everything she did for him and his brother and tells her that he will rebuild her. He begins planning out the parts he will need and how to obtain them, relying on a mix of 3D printing, authorized retailers, and illegal resellers.
After talking a walk one night several days later, he happens upon a lone Nandroid in a parking lot and begins to sneak up behind her, planning to incapacitate her and use her body as a replacement for Mary's. The Nandroid's name is called and the young man retreats, surprised at having not been seen.
He eventually hits upon a lead for a location where Sterling Robotics puts recently decommissioned and otherwise disposed of Nandroids and plans to go there and retrieve a body for Mary.
