he shouldn’t have been so careless, still, he has a few defenses he could employ to
try and escape such a distasteful interaction. and he watches, he can see by the color
of the LED itself, the reasoning behind it could be a few things but Richard would wager
he knew what the purpose for it was. cold eyes remain locked on him, every movement
seemingly stiff and mechanical, a machine would have no reason to lie but this conflicted
with his mission. he couldn’t tell him, and opting not to, or instructing him to see a
superior would give away precisely what he was trying to hide.
[ OBJECTIVE: LOWER SUSPICION ]
[ CYBERLIFE ] [ DPD RESOURCES ] [ VARIOUS ] [ SAY NOTHING ]
yet before he can speak, that further prodding seems to silence him, his body
language stiffens and he looks almost locked into place.
HOW THOROUGH? HOW EFFICIENT? WHO DID HE TALK TO?
[ NOTIFICATION: STRESS LEVELS RISING: 35% ]
he found himself a bit tense though his expression certainly wouldn’t betray it
save for a twitch of his lips and how his cold eyes seem to soften if just for a
moment, like some ashamed child.
HE ALREADY KNOWS WHO HE TALKED TO, HE’S ALREADY FAILED.
SHE WON’T BE PLEASED.
still, once his gaze fades back to a more cold exterior expression he tries to smooth
it over, it’s the only thing he could do to salvage his cover now. a mechanical blink
and his LED spins yellow a moment as if selecting a response before he continues.
❛ i get the sense that the subject is perhaps a sore one for you , i apologize if i’ve caused you discomfort as it was not my intention with this interaction . i was simply inquiring more on certain issues reported with your model out of curiosity on how i may improve further . but if you must know , i have exclusive access to the entirety of Cyberlife’s mission reports , ones you created and created by others as well -- varying on the subject matter of course --- though perhaps that may be upsetting to hear -- it’s my understanding that deviants are quite . . . sensitive to hearing information about their existence prior to deviating for some unknown reason . rest assured i’ve only looked into those which concern pertinent mission information that would seek to make me more effective in the line of duty . ❜
but that wasn’t an answer, wasn’t telling him who it was exactly who he spoke
to. who he got that information from as he folds arms neatly behind his back.
a switch to a more human-like response -- or rather a programmed response,
light tilt of his head while features soften noticeably.
❛ does that answer your question ? ❜
