after much deliberation, we have decided to name the dog...
Dog.
V1 found it with a damaged gyroscope; considering there's no other way to access its internals, it probably came from the factory that way and somehow managed to bypass the maintenance checks. the malfunction causes the drone to have poor balance, making it unsteady in the air. heavily damaged and likely dying, V1 didn't find it to be a worthy adversary (they felt bad for it) and knowing that Ramattra likes having projects to work on in his workshop, it figured that the drone would be a fun project for him to keep himself busy with, so it brought it back for him.
obviously, the drones aren't from the world of Overwatch, so Ramattra had none of the parts to repair it, so any missing parts he had to remake from scratch. he wasn't able to repair the gyroscope, but he did manage to largely repair any other detrimental internal damage and save the drone's life.
(he never found the mechanism that makes it explode, though, so realistically it could explode at any time)
Ramattra worked on the drone for so long that he became attached to it, and was content keeping it as a pet with V1. he figured since they found it, they should be the one to name it. V1's internal systems prefer efficiency over everything else; all entities are categorized with a simple shorthand so that information about them can be stored for later use, so that they take up as little space in their storage unit as possible. V1 simply called the drone Dog. Ramattra engraved a different name onto its chassis: Makhamali, a local name in Nepal for the globe amaranth, Ramattra's favorite flower. when asked, he'll tell people that its name is Makhamali. but both machines refer to the drone affectionately as Dog.
Makha loves its owners and very loyally fulfills its original purpose by patrolling the house and keeping it safe from intruders. it still retains its original weaponry (though Ramattra installed a little off-switch so that he can disable its guns if it starts shooting their guests). it's been remarkably easy to train; it seems eager to learn and receive orders, and learns very quickly. Makha is very vocal; it barks at intruders and sings little tunes as it goes about its day, washing machine style. despite its faulty gyroscope, it is still very fast and enjoys going on runs and playing in the backyard. there are a few scratches on their walls from Makha bumping into them. it is also a very clingy pet; it will often follow V1 and Ramattra around the house, wherever they go, receiving pets and scratches all the while, and singing very chipperly. Ramattra has lovingly constructed many things for Makha; feeding bowls, beds in nearly every part of the house, and various harnesses and leashes that they can walk it with. he's even picked up knitting so that he can make little sweaters for it. V1 has taken it on various hellbound expeditions and it has returned completely untouched each time. Makha is also a very good lapdog, purring contentedly whenever they take the time to relax. Makhamali is a very beloved pet among both its owners and houseguests alike.
