Closed starter for @keebo-101
When Animal’s owners had found out about another robot that was nearly as advanced as their Replacements, they hadn’t been happy. Seeing the other model as a threat to their design, potential competition for the very nearly human Replacements, they’d demanded something be done.
And that was how Animal had wound up tasked with investigating, interrogating the robot to see just how good it was at passing for human.
Her creators had claimed it was just to gather information on the potential competition, but Animal knew better. If the thing was enough of a threat, they’d probably order one of their special models to destroy it next.
Animal honestly didn’t want to be a part of that, didn’t want to know that her work had caused something innocent to be destroyed for no reason but petty competition. Unfortunately, she had little choice in the matter; if she disobeyed, it would be her on the list to be gotten rid of next.
So, after she’d finally tracked the thing down, she was not in the best mood. This was already turning out to be a horrible day.
“Excuse me. Are you perhaps this robot?” she asked, holding out one of the papers she’d been given with the thing’s identification information on it.
