"Is that why you're so eager to be continually accompanied by a robot that reports to me and whose armaments you have no information about."

"It wasn't but now that you point it out, it is a very large part of the current reason."

"It is an unarmed robot."

"Well bummer." Pet pet.

"If you want me to give it scary bits next time I upgrade it..."

Permalink

"Well as long as you're offering..."

"Should I not be encouraging this while in a state of," handwave, "not?"

"...not?"

"Not planning to go anywhere with it."

"Oh." Ponder. "Well. I mean. It's kinda the next best thing? And I won't say it doesn't make me hopeful, but at the same time unless you personally dislike..." Handwave. "Causing these things, or I'm acting in some way that makes you uncomfortable, I don't see the harm.
