Andrew's entourage leaving the Lucius Mech Company was 2 vehicles.
The first car was the one he rode on, a luxurious looking 4-seater drive while the one following from behind was a giant bus with double deckers.
Both deckers of this bus were compartmentalized to house the object that was being transported inside, Andrew's personal mech.
{Property of Lucius Industries!}
{1st Generation Modern Mech!}
{Poseidon's Gaze V-I}
{Weapon Systems: GT- Automatic Shotgun, Laser Rifle!}
Despite the fact that he was already losing his prime test subject, Lucius Volstad stayed true to his word, letting him leave with the Poseidon's Gaze.
Both vehicles drove straight through the Philadelphus District to the main area of this district where the Philadelphus police building was located.
On getting there, an entourage of policemen were outside waiting for him.
As soon as the first car stopped and the inhabitant came out, they saluted.
"Corporal!"
Thud!
Andrew's metal leg made a resounding thudding sound as he came down.
They didn't flinch, they already expected something like this. Afterall, the media already made it so that everyone in the Philadelphus District knew about the half human, half robot policeman who was reinstated in the police force.
During the past few weeks in the Lucius Mech Company, even as he trained like a maniac to pass the tests posed before him by the boss, Andrew also prepared for this moment.
He was a veteran policeman, even if he could not replicate everything correctly, the least he could do was acting the part.
He could not afford to act as a novice here.
Andrew saluted back at the policemen standing before walking towards the Sergeant who stood at the side. "Sergeant!" He saluted again.
Sergeant Theodore had short brown hair with strong facial features. His mustache was also prominent, making him seem German to Andrew.
"Welcome back to the police force, Andrew". The Sergeant hugged him before turning round to leave, leading the way for the Corporal.
"There's no need for my test anymore," the Sergeant inclined his head to look at his subordinate as he smiled. "I already watched Lucius' video clips".
"You have more than enough ability to return to the police force already".
"I'll be taking you directly to the oath room".
Andrew was surprised. "Really?"
The oath room in this police station was the place where policemen who got a promotion would have their medal instated by their superiors.
About a minute later, they arrived at the oath room.
Andrew did the pledge again.
"…I pledge to serve the interests of Vemido Kingdom, now and forever till the day that I can no longer be of service to the kingdom".
"So help me God".
Clap! Clap!
The policemen present at this moment erupted in applause.
"Congratulations!" Sergeant Theodore was all smiles as taking a step closer, he picked up the new medal of a Corporal from the glass table before carefully pinning it to the dark blue suit of his subordinate.
"You're a Corporal now son". This Sergeant grinned.
"Thanks sir".
And finally, Andrew's reinstation to the police was official.
After the oath taking, originally, the next step would be introducing Andrew to his colleagues and most especially his new partners but Sergeant Theodore had something else in mind.
In the police force, they had a way of doing things.
For every police van, 2 cop mech pilots were associated with it and not just them, there was a mech technician associated with every mech pilot in the police force and this time, it was no different.
Before that though, having lost everything due to the accident the first time, Sergeant Theodore showed Andrew to his benefits of returning to the police force.
The police force provided him with a new rented apartment, a 2-bedroom flat located at a prime location in the district, including a personal car of his own.
Sergeant Theodore looked at Andrew. "Take, here is the key to your apartment".
"Your police uniform is also there waiting for you".
"You can go home, observe your new apartment, get comfortable with it, freshen up and change into your police uniform before coming back".
"Then, someone will be in place to introduce you to your partners".
"Ok," Andrew nodded. "Thanks Sergeant".
He didn't hesitate after thanking the Sergeant as he left the police station home. His apartment was big, and was inside a fenced compound to his relief.
The big bus from the Lucius Mech Company also followed him here, and to Andrew's joy, this compound had a big garage.
"Let's take it to the garage". He instructed the driver and the lifters who followed him from the Lucius Mech Company.
"Careful, this way".
Carefully, they towed the Poseidon's Gaze V-I to the garage.
Thud!
Once the mech touched down, Andrew finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He thanked the driver and the lifters as they left and finally, he was alone.
Looking at the garage, not only his mech was inside here, there were 2 other cars and he recognized one of them as his own.
The other one likely belonged to his neighbor.
Looking at this car, his computer system lit up again, superimposing with his vision as basic information about the car appeared.
{Property of Stella Industries detected!}
{804 Credence-Benz C-Class!}
Andrew's eyebrows raised. 'Benz? Was that plagiarized from the Mercedes Benz of my previous world?' He clicked his tongue in interest.
Caressing the smooth contours of this car, he felt more than satisfied.
It was a metallic green car with a nice caressable shape.
Andrew's smile widened. "Well, at least, compared to my previous life, I'm not a pauper and complete loser in this world".
"At least, I have a car and a proper apartment to sleep in".
And finally, he went inside his apartment.
It was a nice and comfy apartment, everything screamed comfortability to him, he could not help smiling and before he knew it, he was tearing up.
Andrew was fast to wipe his tears. "Hehe," He chuckled. "Let's make the most of my second opportunity at life".
"Let's make it exciting".
"Let's fight crime!"
Entering the bathroom, Andrew freshened up the next moment, and then he donned his police uniform.
"First day as a police baby!" He whooped in excitement.
And then, off he went.
