The PRT catches wind of a strange increase in disappeared domestic animals in the downtown area. Given that the people who live there are the rich and powerful, this is clearly a problem that needs to be investigated and solved immediately. The PRT, of course, agrees that this is of utmost importance, and not just because of precedent about mass abductions of pets, of course not, why would you think that, they are so very worried about Fido, even Scion recognizes the merits of rescuing lost pets.
(Lorica's asked to maybe keep a few more eyes there than she has been.)

They laugh. "Do that! And, erm, don't tell me what it's doing, that'll probably ruin the experiment."

The copy is going to Sadde's room! It looks over its shoulder when it notices the bot approaching and asks, "What's up?"
mxglam
"Okay."
They reach Glam's room and start booting the computer. When it boots, the copy start composing the email.

So the copy composes the email outlining the idea, and it looks very much like Glam was the one who did it, and hits send.
And then it—twiddles thumbs. It looks very much like a bored Glam who doesn't have a whole lot to do, in spite of having a computer in front of them.

Yup. Twiddling thumbs. The copy acts completely uninterestingly until it receives an email back, reads it, and starts back toward Lorica's workshop.

The copy has arrived, and becomes perceptibly livelier once inside!
"Branding says it's not a secret per se, but if you must include triggers in your account try not to scare the children and make some up that aren't very bad nor real. They also recommend trying to go the route of 'so you got new powers you didn't choose, what do' instead of mentioning triggers at all," the copy explains. "And they added a line wondering if you didn't want to take the chance to educate the kids on trans issues."

"Also it's boring," Glam says grimacing.
Copy switches to becoming another Glam-spokesperson: "I don't want to do activism for trans stuff, especially given all the trouble this has given me."
Original: "And this may be a bit selfish, given that I kinda am in a uniquely, uh, privileged position for that, but."

"Yes, that was what I was arguing," Copy agrees.
"But I was just correctly predicting that associating Glam with a single gender would cause me dysphoria," Original completes.
"I mean, I do like being a role model, but I don't want this to be my point," the Copy adds, squirming a bit uncomfortably.

"You're giving one presentation," says Lorica. "You don't have to be all about its topic. But obviously it's up to you."

"I know, what I mean is that this would be the second time there's this public thing about me and transness, and it might become a stereotype or make me look a bit one-track."

"This one's smaller scale, although I suppose I can't guarantee no one will decide to televise it."

"But as of right now basically the only source of information on me, so that when I'm a famous household name the media will get their stuff from there."
"Do you think I should do that instead of the powers thing?" copy wonders.
