Who in the world is this guy?
When did such a character appear in the hacking world?
...
Today was the day Carole returned from her trip.
Having just finished breakfast, Nanson hopped into his car to pick Carole up from the airport.
Anthea had school today and couldn't join in to pick Carole up. “Uncle, drive safe, okay?”
“Uncle, drive safe, okay?” Little White mimicked in a playful tone.
“Got it,” Nanson replied, patting Little White's head with a smile.
Carole's flight was scheduled to land at 9 AM.
Nanson had barely arrived when he spotted Carole, dragging her suitcase out of the terminal.
“Sis!” Nanson waved excitedly at Carole.
“Nanson,” Carole jogged over, suitcase in tow. “When did you get here?”
“Just arrived,” Nanson said, taking over her suitcase.
Carole then asked, “Annie went to school?”
“Yep,” Nanson nodded, continuing, “Sis, was everything smooth on your trip?”
“Couldn’t have been better!”
They chatted as they walked.
An hour later, they were home.
Nanson rang the doorbell.
“Isn’t Annie at school? Who’s home then?” Carole asked, puzzled.
“Someone is,” Nanson nodded.
“Who?” Carole was increasingly curious.
Nanson gave a mysterious smile, “A new member.”
“A new member?” That spiked Carole's curiosity even more.
“Yep.”
Just then, the door opened.
“Welcome home, masters.”
Carole gasped in surprise, “What is this?”
Little White looked up, “Master, I am not a 'what'. I am the universe's most advanced robot! You can call me Little White!”
“Since when did we get a robot?” Carole turned to Nanson.
Nanson chuckled, “It wasn’t bought. Annie built it from an old vacuum cleaner.”
