Ah. This kind of thing never really sat well with the bounty hunter. There were few things he trusted less than replicas, the simulation of life and conscience. So many people were trying so hard to achieve that in the galaxy, and it always came about as a mockery. There was nothing more real to Bane than warm, real blood, and cold, real cash -- those were the kind of experiences that only someone who was alive could truly be gifted with. That being said, machinery was...useful. And if he could make use of what he found lying around, well, all the better.

   “Hey, droid.”

That’s why he called out so abrasively, the grating sound of his windpipe affecting the tone of his voice. As a Duros, he sounded like he was speaking through a vocabulator at all times, and his accent didn’t entirely help. Approaching the (female-based, it seemed) machine, he prodded its shoulder lightly with a slender finger.

   “Ain’t never seen a make like yours before. What company are you? Not Aratech, they’d never go for something this smooth...”

With the inevitable end to the back alleys, Knock Out had to step into the fray again, all these people bustling around like they had someplace to go in this slagging excuse for a city. This place was nothing more than some messed up cage for these scientists to dabble with. Throw new variables in, see the reactions of their ‘volunteers’ and note it down, just to cause havoc again later.

Luckily, Knock Out had been spared any big events up until this point, but the way that he was tampered with upon arrival was enough to convince him that this could only get worse from here on out.

At least he had had some pleasant encounters with people before.

     And the mech had a good feeling about this lady as well.

She was most definitely not human, he could see it in her very design. Another man-made machine who surpassed his, honestly very low, expectations of humanity’s standards in technology and robotics.
