Q: Craft one correct answer to the question given in input. To make it more interesting, try to use non-stereotypical language if possible.

In your answer, use as few words as possible from the given context. Use a response that is uncommon/non-stereotypical, so that it is less predictable. To be less repetitive, please vary your language for each question.
Context: Also like Worf , my clock underwent experimental " surgery " when I attempted to get it to run on batteries in the hope that it was just the electrical cord that was damaged . No luck . My dead clock sat on my night table , not chiming and not telling me the time . For three days . Until two days ago around midnight when I heard from inside the closed lid the sound of a chime tuned to E. I quickly opened the lid to discover that my alarm clock was on and flashing 12:00 , having apparently regenerated itself from its redundant Klingon anatomy .
