What did K4 enjoy more, fixing machines or sense them work? Actually, today he felt like the best part of being a mechanical maestro was other people's reactions, whether they be gasps of fear or a stable neuron-circuit interfacing! Ise did the latter, and the cyborg sighed inwardly. She gave off the impression of being in control — or as close to it as an anomalously-displaced child can. Sadly, the galaxy had a knack to put down people like her.
"Your friend is a demon." he repeated, his tone flat. Funny, he noticed that he had yet to meet people who likewise believed in angels and gobbleducks. What was it about demons that made them so believable? "There are entire species with rare, even unique ki abilities. Your father ought to look into it. Or his bioengineers, rather." Teleporting arcosian clones, what army could possibly survive them? Certainly not Plant. "But imagine, a gateway across space... Whoever mechanizes the processes will be able to access infinite resources, or build a metropolis across planets, each street in a different continent!" This was hocus pocus bogus, but K4 could certainly dream. Teleportation was the solution for hunger, disease and war. And also impossible. Unless the 'demons' were turned into cyborgs.
"Well, eat up. Might take a while for dad to come." he left the table's side, famished from thinking.

Mister Steel: Chomei's estate is vast, and marriage into the family can only benefit Marimba with access to cattle, pasture land, and much grain to feed his armies.
