[The image is actually focused on a multitude of robot puppies all wagging their tails in unison when the SFC clicks on--then the camera pans over to Jade, who smiles brightly at the screen.]

Hello, question!

[A pause as she twitches her ears, then laughs.]

Not the invasive "tell the truth, sucker, or I'll gut ya!" question, just a general interest gauge question! Now see, I created these robot puppies for the purpose of giving them to people that are defenseless to adopt--yes, these pups are equipped with weapons, but that is beside the point! What I am wondering is if anyone would be interested in adopting these pups I have right now, or possibly me making more robots. I do not want to pretend I'm a super awesome robot maker or anything, but I know my way around some tech!

That's all, thank you for listening!

[ He leans in closer to his screen to get a better look at this darling little specimen. ]

Do you design and build these?

And I know they have weapons and are trained to kill but are they also trained to go on newspaper?

[spacecase]

Yep, I designed and built them all!

And they don't dispense waste, silly! But they do have very good AI, so even if they did they would know where to properly dispense it.

[goodnightsweetprince]

That's very fascinating!

Are they programed to learn as well? Because that can be very dangerous but also very helpful as assistants for a temporary period before they go power hungry and take over.

[spacecase]

They do have learning capabilities as well, but they are somewhat limited by my own programming for them--I have made them completely obedient to me at the moment like, well, like a dog of course! And whoever I pass them on to I will program them to obey the commands of that person, so there is little chance for sabotage or even rebellion.

[goodnightsweetprince]

Indeed, just like a dog! You have definitely taken all things into account in their design, very commendable! You claim not to be a super awesome robot maker but this is not your first robot dog rodeo, is it?

[spacecase]

Well, it is not my first time making robots or designing different ones, no, I was raised on it! My grandpa was quite the robotics expert himself, so you might say it is literally in my genes.

[Very proud of this, naturally.]

[savemegermany]

Ve, do you make robot kitties too?

[fundemetal]

[Hey, remember this guy from working on the coral? Well, he remembers Jade. Not that they really got to talk or anything.]

I think Buford might get jealous if I adopted one of them, but they're really awesome. How long did it take you to develop the first one?

[crabbygenius]

[Jade had Washu's attention at 'robot puppies'.]

An interesting and good idea. I'm more interested in how you made them instead of wanting one though.

Hey Jade... I know m'not exactly defenseless and all...

[ He can't help it, okay? He's never had a pet before and he was really enamored by those things when they bowled him over. ]

D'you think you could spare me one? Gets a trifle lonely all by meself and all. There's a favor in it for you.

They are like something out of a sci-fi tv show. Yet at the same time.... hey look so cute.

And possibly moe, dear god, why cute robot dogs.]

[spacecase]

If that's a request to make one, I can certainly try my hand at it!

[spacecase]

Oh, I actually made them all in a batch, it took me about two days? Maybe three? I don't even remember how long I was in my workshop, I was in a science daze.

[spacecase]

Well! I built their skeletons from scratch out of things in my workshop, but the actual workings and casing I made out of the scraps of a much larger robot I ended up dismantling. With all the parts split up into the pups, they are not as intelligent as they could be or adaptable in defense mechanisms, but they are well enough for being a lovable companion that shoots lasers.

[fundemetal]

Not bad. You must have been really churning those puppies out. Just how many did you make?

video;

[spacecase]

Haha, of course I can spare one, I made like ten! The fact that anyone would want them for company's sake is cool, too, they are dogs after all. Dogs are the best! And you do not have to give me anything in exchange, come on dude.

video;

[spacecase]

Well, I love science, so I will consider that a good thing in this case. And yes, they are very cute, and very loving!

[spacecase]

Ten, though one has already been given away so there are nine left. I suppose I was pulling a bunch of all-nighters for them.

[fundemetal]

Seriously. I don't think I could have managed making that many automatons from scratch in only a couple days.

[pranksterheir]

What kind of weapons? [He's having Liv nostalgia feels now, aww.]

[spacecase]

Oh man, it's not an amazing accomplishment or anything, I mean they weren't even from scratch--I got the pieces from dismantling a larger robot. The only thing I made from scratch in that time were their frames.

video;

[diehardreaper]

Those're the same ones who bowled me over the last time, aren't they? They were a pretty sweet lot and I'd be absolutely chuffed to adopt one.

[ Have a grin back. ]

Still doesn't feel right getting something for nothing, you ruddy genius. Consider a favor made at any rate, to be cashed in whenever you please.

[spacecase]

Lasers, naturally.

But you Mr. Egbert, are not allowed to have a robot puppy.

[AW MAN, WHAT--]

Because I did not make these from scratch, you deserve much better than that, and more weapons and things to play with. Only the best for my ectotwin!

[Oh.]

[fundemetal]

[He's not as impressed as he was before, but he's still impressed.]

Gotcha. They're still pretty awesome. Why'd you dismantle the larger robot?

[spacecase]

I was pissed off and needed to destroy something, but then I felt bad about wrecking something I made in the first place and remade the robot into puppies.

[Natural conclusion.]
