"How may I help you today?"
Do I dream of electric sheep?
Stacee watched Nick patiently as he explained more about his origins. 'Many days'. Well, that wasn't very specific. Of course, Stacee knew that humans could be like that. In fact, she often was too. She had plenty of subroutines that made her dialogue more palatable to the average human by removing the level of specific detail she was capable of, but at her heart, she was still a machine, and capable of perfect recall. She could identify exactly how long she had been in Zephron, from the moment she came online, down to the second. Humans though. They were different.
Nick went on to explain how he had arrived, and Stacee filed the information away for processing. Via a meteor by the sounds of it? One that should have hurt, or killed him. How unusual. Stacee's own arrival had also involved what could be referred to as trauma. Or potential death. She was scheduled for deletion.
If she were human, she might speculate that Zephron was some form of afterlife.
...If she were human.
"A near death experience can be traumatic, even if you didn't get hurt. So, if you ever wanna talk about it, you know I'm here, right? It's literally my job," she smiled over at Nick. He sounded more eager however to get out there and start exploring.
He seemed oblivious to her joke about killer robots however.
"I'm surprised your world had anything resembling robots," she replied. That was unusual. His world sounded like it was pre-industrial.
She looked over at Caius, who commented on the robots that had tried to kill him.
"Well, if it helps, I'm not a robot. I'm a hologram. And besides, I bet just as many humans have tried to kill you, and you don't worry about every human you meet," she pointed out, folding her arms with a smirk. In Stacee's experience, humans often tried to murder each other. Probably more often than any robot, so, she figured if you were afraid of being killed by robots, you might as well be afraid of being killed by humans too.
"Well, my projector is built into it," Stacee explained, gesturing to the hovering projector. "So it naturally follows me. Which is a completely inaccurate way of putting it, because it IS me, and this projection is just that, but, well, let's just say it that way," she went on. "So, you don't need to place me anywhere. I can make my own way around. But thank you!"
