[Coming to you from the Police HQ roof... is a groggy-sounding ninja bot. If he were human, one might say he sounded hungover...]

I don't think I like... high grade.

[A beat passes, metal scrapes -- someone pressing a hand to his face.]

For what it's worth... I'm sorry. To anyone I ran into.

And... the Chieftain? [He hesitates again, this time for different reasons.] My offer to you still stands. Regardless of how I acted... afterward.

Comments

[thxforthememories]

No.

[He shakes his head slightly.]

I don't have one. So, I don't think it's possible.

[littlecrowgirl]

Well, let's see.

What do beings with souls do?

[She makes a little chart on the blank sheet of paper.]

[thxforthememories]

I... don't know. Human things?

[Sorry, Kay, he's just that clueless.]

The robots... they fight in wars.

[littlecrowgirl]

Well, let's think. They get happy...sad...

Do you do that?

[thxforthememories]

I... yes. I do.

[littlecrowgirl]

And you get angry and scared?

[thxforthememories]

I... think you know the answer to that.

[littlecrowgirl]

Well, humans with souls have that.

[She starts marking tallies on each side of the chart.]

Everything we have, you seem to have.

[thxforthememories]

But... emotions were part of my programming. All of us were programmed to be able to feel emotion.

I don't think it means I have a soul. Just an advanced AI.
