[The feed flickers to life and a silhouette of a robotic dog appears on screen. It leaps up into the air, off screen and down lands a robot in its place. Upon standing, the robot smiles and bows to the camera.]

Greetings everyone. Now that I have adjusted to this new planet, I thought I should properly introduce myself.

[He places a hand on his chest.]

My name is Shadowmaru. I hope to become another valuable asset to our police force while I'm here. Then again, if you have any problems, in which require surveillance, I'd be more than happy to help.

[LOCKED TO: Deckard]

Deckard, I think now would be a good time for us to talk.

[LOCKED TO: Haven Police Force]

I know I haven't met all of you yet, but I thought I would say hello, seeing as how I would like to help in any way possible.

As you might have guessed, I'm a similar unit to Kagerou. We both specialize in stealth. Never hurts to have another one on the team right?

I didn't say you didn't. Or mean it. I... worry.

[He's worried that's exactly what's going to happen here. And the thought of Shadowmaru dying is utterly unbearable.]

There's no question of that. [Prowl's an asshole.] I... don't want to see you do what I've been doing. Didn't you tell me to stop? To slow down?

But...

[He grows quiet. Kagerou had a point. But his pride, being brushed aside like that? It struck a chord within the BP unit.

He vents out a shaky sigh.]

Okay... okay.

[There's an echoing sigh out of him.]

I'm sorry. For upsetting you.

It's not your fault, Kagerou.

Thank you, for letting me know, ahead of time.

... Thank you for listening. I know that it isn't easy.

But you have nothing to prove, to me.

[Trying to restore some of that pride he knows so well.]

I know.

I just have to prove to others.

Not to the other BPs. Not to Kay. Not to those like Rewind and Blurr...

Prowl isn't worth it, Shadowmaru. Please.

It's not just him, Kagerou! You said there were others out there who agree with him!

We're not to be underestimated. Or ignored.

A few... but.

If we do something reckless to prove them wrong, and we get hurt... we aren't doing anything to help ourselves.

We're only proving them right.

I won't be that stupid, Kagerou.

You can't blame me for worrying over you.

[He falls silent.]

I know I can't. I just don't wish to be looked down upon. I wish to be seen as an equal.

You know that better than anyone else.

They will. They will respect you.

[Since he firmly believes Shadowmaru to be perfect, after all. He has a better chance than any of them.]

But being reckless won't make that happen.

[After another moment of silence, he huffs, defeated.]

I wasn't going to be reckless...

Weren't you?

[There's a look in there for you.]

[MORE HUFFING and you can just hear his arms crossing.]

Okay okay! I get the point...

... Would it help if I said thank you?

For listening to me?

No I didn't mean to...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so snooty about it all.

It's fine, Shadowmaru.

I know you're proud. You've every reason to be. I... worry for you. That's all.

You have more than enough to worry about right now. I'll be fine.

Shadowmaru.

I will always worry over you. You were the first friend I ever had. The reason I'm alive.

There is nothing in this world that could make me not worry for you.

[He sighs.]

You worry too much. Then again, you won't stop no matter what I say.

I say I worry the right amount.

But, no. I won't stop.

[I care too much--]

[Except he keeps that part to himself.]

Then we'll agree to both worry about each other.

How about that?

I think that's acceptable.

For now.
