Max spent his last term at university mostly focusing on his own robotics project. He had always admired his servo friend Zeus, and now it seemed he was close to creating a servo of his very own.
Even choosing the right paint took a lot of time and concentration

Meanwhile, the normie in the house continued to date the cute pizza delivery guy. "Is that what you're wearing on our date?"
"Pleasantly surprised, eh?"
Margin of Error had been reading the mischief skill book for a while now. It was time to teach her how to steal. First stop: Diego Lobo's apartment.
Next stop: the Von Haunt estate.
Margin of Error likes to read the mischief book next to Max so they can study together.
Max's presentation for class includes a historic picture of a villain who... looks oddly like Max. I decided it's Jacques in his youth.

As Margin of Error's stealing improved, the three of them got the hang of tag-teaming large estates.
Toward the end of the week, Max completed a second servo, gave him the Kleptomaniac trait, and named him Standard Deviation. Margin of Error got a new gray metal plating so that Max could tell them apart more easily.

I've given your programming a trait that will allow you to steal things from others, and it will give you extra energy when you do. This will enrich our household."
https://i.postimg.cc/1XWS0GfD/servo-scheme.png
"What is 'enrich' ?"
"Well, it means we can have big fancy houses, take amazing vacations, eat delicious food..."
"Ha ha! Silly humans! I do not eat food, I take up very little space and can be happy wherever I am!"
https://i.postimg.cc/WzpjJWb2/servo-scheme2.png
And then Margin of Error started going on about other silly human pursuits.
Max called Zeus on the phone. "I have a problem. It got on to the subject of vacuums and now it won't stop. Can you come over?"

Zeus helped Max and Margin of Error get off to a good start.

And happy to see everyone, really

Max gave her a work area in back. She happily made eco upgrade parts, recycled them, and made eco upgrade parts out of the recycled bits and pieces, etc. She seems to enjoy loops.

"What happened to you?"
"New coat of paint! Ha ha!"
https://i.postimg.cc/QNqdx5x8/paint.png
Max gave her a tuneup.
Then she recharged herself. Which apparently they do out of thin air. Didn't even have to plug into the wall or anything. Ok, the moodlet is funny

Oh right, she has to have a higher Mischief skill in order to be of any use as a kleptomaniac.

Let's have a nice chat while my associates rob you blind. Then they'll come out and chat, and I'll go rob you blind. Have a nice day!

Now time to train this one up in Mischief...
The first haul from the first time out when both servos were really and truly able to steal something. All four kleptos swiped, and Max also Burgliated.
https://i.postimg.cc/LXDFRtkG/the-takings-with-2-servos.png
They're making more money than any college students have a right to.
Also, Lilith switched to the Criminal career so as to fulfill her aspiration, and is now a Boss. Which I think is what Jacques was before he died. Family business.
