Directive 001 [Video] [Public]

[There is a...dog? on your screen? He looks vaguely canine, at least, though the glowing red eyes and angular, mechanical features are a dead giveaway that he's not your average dog. He looks to be sitting somewhere in the city, most likely off the beaten path a bit, so as to avoid the gaze of the locals. The joys of a built-in codec.]

I find myself...curious, about the collar around my neck. Preliminary analysis suggests that it is an ordinary gemstone, however I have been informed that this item contains my "soul", and that I should not remove it.

[A pause, as he parses his thoughts on the subject at hand.]

As I am an artificial intelligence in a robotic exoskeleton, I do not have the required knowledge to determine the presence of a "soul" in my body. perhaps there are others more knowledgeable on the subject than I, who might inform me on how this is possible.

Possibly, though to develop a facial recognition subroutine within my pre-existing programming would take significant effort, and more knowledge of both programming and pattern algorithms than I currently possess. To use a convenient expression, it would be teaching an "old dog" new tricks.

[Why yes, Bladewolf just made a funny. Try not to faint.]

I will, thank you.

[dragonaught]

Not worth the effort?

[ Casey kind of gets it, kind of doesn't. Enough not to linger on it too long, anyway. They'll learn. ]

You're welcome.

Affirmative. It is simpler to act within my current capabilities, though expansion at a later time is not out of the question.

[Bladewolf rests his chin on his paws, chilling out. He's not tired per se, he's just conserving energy.]
