    Summary

    “Professor?” A voice calls, and Jayce has about two seconds to feel the hot little sting of hurt that he’s not the only one working with Heimerdinger after all, when Viktor steps fully into view, and Jayce catches sight of him.

    Or—it. It’s an android.

    It takes him a moment and another careful look to be certain, but—yes, it’s got a more subtle variation on the Academy staff bot uniform, white and muted browns, and the College of Sciences insignia pinned to the breast of its waistcoat, and where its shirtsleeves are rolled up to its elbows, Jayce can see the fine, thin lines running up its forearms, the divots in the synthskin showing where the metal plating must connect below.
