-1-

[You just met a giant flipping robot. Of course, in this case that doesn't mean skyscraper sized, that just means like seven feet tall and bulky as hell. It's not going to kick over a bus, but it's still a bit on the imposing side.]

Salutations! Might I inquire as to what your name is?

[Good thing it seems friendly.]

-2-

[After some kind of disaster, everyone heroically banded together to clean up the city and save lives. Yet at the end of the day, you tiredly collapsed into bed. The next morning, you found Robo already working on continuing rescue efforts. And now that you think about it, you never saw it come back with everyone else to sleep last night. Was it out here all night?]

Good morning! Are you here to continue with rescue operations?

-3-

[Robo seems to not have been programmed with the three laws of robotics, and as much as it has any expression, it looks ready to open a serious can of whoopass.]

I would prefer to not resort to aggression, but I will not hesitate to remove you as a threat if you do not surrender peaceably!

Comments

[r66_y]

Meetra. I am called Robo. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Haven't met a droid named Robo before. That's kind of cute.

What's your function?

[r66_y]

Robo was a name given to me some time after my creation. My serial number is R66-Y.

I have made it my function to protect humans.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Well I'm certainly glad to hear that. Especially looking at you.

[Something about the guy not going by R66 seemed kind of unnatural, but she had always been for letting droids develop their own preferences anyway.]

Sounds like you're a little more independent than most droids. Is there a story behind that, or were you built to have self-determination?

[r66_y]

I would assume that my creators decided that hampering higher level thinking would interfere with my ability to function. All of the R Series was built this way.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I see. You're pretty advanced compared to the droids I've met back home. Even the really advanced ones stuck pretty close to built-in core directives.
