[Surely, Luceti, you were not prepared for the loud, robotic voice blaring over the journals with no warning. Nor the fact that in the video feed, he is reflecting a bright light off of his face.

He might be doing the reflection portion on purpose.] I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU DEFECTIVE BEINGS. THINK LONG AND HARD, AND GIVE ME AN HONEST ANSWER. BECAUSE I'LL BECOME THE HUMAN EQUIVALENT OF PISSED OFF IF I GET A FAKE ANSWER. REALLY ANGRY.

WHICH OF YOU THINK YOU ARE SUPERIOR THAN ME? [Pause.] BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT.

[It's almost like a rhetorical question. This is definitely an informative PSA brought to you by Robo-Ky.]

[ the closest thing he'll find to a fellow robot, really.. ]

Why does it sound like a waste of time? It's been scientifically proven this is the most efficient way of education in which the students absorb the most information.

[................... Scientifically proven.

Well, it was science that led to his creation to totally replace the man he was modeled after, since he was the superior version of the two. Oh, and those other versions of himself too.] ... IT MAY BE PROVEN, BUT IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME TO ME. [Now he's just being stubborn.]

[ It's a good thing Kotomi doesn't really argue or think like normal people do either.. ]

Why does it sound like a waste of time to you?

I DON'T KNOW. [That scientifically prove thing threw him for a twist. Even though he could say that the scientists from her world might be defective.] I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION, RIGHT!?

Of course. After all, the right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that "everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". Article 19 goes on to say that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "for respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "for the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals".

[ ... yup. ]

[Dot dot dot.]

ARE YOU HUMAN?

[ Dot dot dot right back at him. ]

Of course I'm human. Why are you asking..?

THEN YOU CHEATED! YOU READ THAT OUT OF A BOOK!

[That was way too well-recited for a human that he just met and knows nothing about!]

Yes, I read that in a book. Let's see.. ... I think it was about a year ago, maybe..

HOW DID YOU REMEMBER IT!? [HUMAAAAAAAANS.]

[ It's okay, Kotomi is a very special unique genius case.. ]

I just do. Are you saying you don't remember everything you read in books..?

OF COURSE I DO! BUT I WAS DESIGNED WITH THAT IN MIND!

HUMANS AREN'T ABLE TO DO THAT, KOTOMI-CHAN! [That was by far one of the weirdest sentences ever uttered by Robo-Ky.]

But I do can do it, and I think I'm human.. Then.. what does that make me..? [ she actually does sound a little confused - she's gullible enough to believe his every word as long as she hasn't read the contrary somewhere. ]

[Let him think about this.

What could she be?

...

...

...] I HAVE NO IDEA. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW? [That's totally why she thinks she's human.]

I think I'm human, but if you don't think I'm human..

...

...

I think then we might have a problem.

[A problem? Robo-Ky hates problems. Unless he caused it. Did he cause this one?]

AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?

We must find someone who can tell whether people are human or not and ask them.. I think.

THEN WE NEED A SPECIALIST! [...] DO YOU KNOW ONE?

Sorry, I don't know. Maybe there's a phone book somewhere we can look one up here.. the Luceti phone book.

[A phone book? Are there even phones? Robo-Ky could swear that he heard of a few people with phones, but he doesn't think there's a directory for them.]

WOULDN'T THAT JUST BE USING THE JOURNALS?

Ah, you're right.. I guess that if there aren't phones, you have to use the journals.

THEN WE NEED A JOURNAL BOOK! [It's not even occurring to Robo-Ky how awkward that sentence really is.]

[ It's okay, they're on the same no-idea-of-awkwardness wavelength, apparently. ]

Is there a thing like a journal book here in Luceti?

[Then this will be a wondrous conversation that others will look at and scratch their heads at.]

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD KNOW.

[ It's for the best that nobody else just looks at this conversation.. ]

I don't know. Every place has a phone book though, so I'm sure there must be a journal book here somewhere..
