Okay so the hamster is extremely excited over the leg as well. She had to smile a bit, it was kind of cute to see such glee over prosthetic limbs. This was clearly an extremely smart little fellow and she had to enjoy that. It wasn’t the strangest thing she’s ever seen but it did have its place on the list. He stopped and looked up at her, somehow bashful, as the giant mecha talked. Okay, translation technology, that was neat.
“I mean, most people just give them strange looks, kind of those pitiful ones, like ‘oh no, poor girl, what happened’. At least you look downright gleeful to study them.” she lifts her head towards the speaking mecha when it spoke after the mad series of squeaks. The small fellow wanted to study her limbs? Still not the weirdest thing in her life.
“Sure. Don’t see why not. Do you need to like, bring the giant robot over here for like a scan or like, open up the panels and take a peek inside? Do you need the blueprints, I think I might have access to them but, they kinda have to let me have those since I prefer repairing myself as opposed to,” she winces slight at the thought of option B if she could not repair her own limbs if it became an issue, “going to see the white coats.”
The hamster squeaked with glee as he scampered off toward his mech. “[AN EXCELLENT IDEA. THE THREAT ANALYZER ON WRECKING BALL CAN SCAN YOUR PROSTHETICS SAFELY”]. He scampered over the top of the mech and started settling himself inside. A muffled series of squeaks came out from the metal chasis. “[DO NOT BE ALARMED. YOU WILL NOT BE SCANNED AS HOSTILE].
Wrecking Ball stood up on pointly metal legs and lumbered towards Annie. It stops just a few feet away and mechanical beeps from the ball’s user interface can be heard from inside. [ANALYSIS COMPLETE.] There was a moment of silence, the ball standing solidly in place. [WHY WOULD TECHNOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR LIMBS ELICIT SYMPATHY]. The giant iron ball coldly asked in its no-nonsense filtered manner. Hammond may have worded it differently himself, but the message was the same. He could not fathom why other people would not see the advantage of having limbs not burdened by the weaknesses of organics.
