[When the video clicks on, those watching will be greeted with a rather odd sight. It's that intimidating-looking talking robot dog that's been running around, with his nose (figuratively) buried in a book, the cover reading "Psychology". He's scanning the pages carefully, occasionally flipping to the next page with the small, three-fingered manipulator that served as his "tongue". At first it seems that he's unaware that the video is on, until he speaks.]

I have recently enrolled in the college here in the city, and find myself requiring assistance. While my potential intellect is significantly larger than a human, my actual experiences and education are severely lacking. I have enrolled in courses covering human psychology, advanced mathematics, and chemical science, and require those familiar with these topics to...quiz me on the early chapters of the required textbook.

[Then, he looks up, knowing that eye contact is important when addressing people.]

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[While Bladewolf was more than capable of sarcasm, his sense of humor was somewhat...flat, usually only presenting itself as a response to stress.]

I will keep that in mind. My former partner, Raiden, would often speak of his experiences as a soldier, in order to reinforce his reasons for engaging in combat. Such anecdotes were useful in determining his motivation and state of mind during a mission, as I acted as both his combat and psychological support during missions.

[She nodded.]

That is similar to Hal Jordan's habits of speaking of his home planet. Often, he would justify certain...less than rational decisions by citing an experience he gained on Earth.

It is...fascinating. The way humans gain experience. They are capable of learning from all actions they take, whether the results are to their favor or not. Often, experiences with less favorable outcomes will evolve into amusing anecdotes, used as justification either to not repeat an action, or as proof that a slight alteration to variables will yield a favorable result.

You, too, are capable of such a thing.

It is, in no small part, how I have been able to evolve and grow since I was first brought online. I learned from example.

I am aware. The being I am now is due in no small part to the people I have worked with, whether it was by choice or force. Even my greatest tormentors have taught me of human nature, and how every person can differ based on their own experiences.

[...yes, good. Vastly superior to the Manhunters, this one.]

I am glad.

Inform me when you are certain of your availability schedule. It does not take the full of my immediate attention to recall factual details, and as such, I will be able to assist you at nearly any hour you prefer.

[If he ever met them, The Manhunters would remind Bladewolf of his predecessors, the LQ-84 Fenrir. Simple in nature, but lethal.]

Once I receive the schedule for my other classes, I will alert you as to when I am not attending classes, or am otherwise engaged.

Acknowledged. We can determine mutually sufficient availabilities then.
