Operation 002 - Just what the doctor ordered
[Phone A - Filtered to Hol Horse]
Mr. Horse? This is Dr. Aston with a follow-up call. I was wondering if you'd have the time to stop by my house so I can check on your progress? I know you seem to have fully recovered, but it's best to be safe, is it not?
[Phone B]
So, I have to ask, does anyone know how these postal deliveries arrive? I mean, yes, I received a package, as I understand is the norm, but I'm very concerned as to how the second item I received was already installed in my basement. Considering that the house is very well locked up when no one is home...
[Sigh.] No matter, I suppose.
Anyway, I have to say, working with humans has been an illuminating experience. Even as a medical professional, I rarely had interactions outside my own race back home. We weren't exactly the sharing type, and I can't say there's ever been a reason for an organic to ever need our assistance. Which, of course, leads to every experience here being new and exciting.
What puzzles me, though, is how resilient you humans are, in the face of having some of the least durable bodies I've encountered in my long history. Your internal skeletons can only maintain integrity under a certain amount of weight, and before then, many of your organs would fall prey to irreversible tears and ruptures. Your skins do next to nothing as far as protection goes, and your muscular systems...
And yet, your sheer force of will helps you survive even in the face of those odds. I find it strange that whatever forces designed you, would sacrifice physical toughness for an indomitable psyche. It's curious to no end.
Perhaps that's what I miss about working on my own mechanical brethren - everything was simple and easy to understand. Certainly, our systems were interconnected, but you could easily isolate a problem and replace a part before anything vital was affected. At this rate, I feel I might get rusty as far as the simpler workings of a synthetic being.
[Chuckle.] And I would hate to get rusty.

I see. My species has that level of will, but with purely mechanical bodies, it's much easier to keep the body from reaching that point. Then again, when a spark fades, it's gone for good with us.

Purely mechanical bodies~ How do you reproduce or recover from injury? Do you have to repair it as you would any other technological device?
no subject
For the most part, yes. Our parts can be replaced as needed, although certain parts... those closest to what organics would call 'organs,' those are more difficult to repair or replace. Fortunately, such devices are also the most well-guarded and shielded within our bodies.
Er... reproduction? [Knock Out does not know how is babby formed.]
no subject
Reproduction~ The process by which new iterations of your kind are created~ Would replication be a better word?
