[ tony, unlike some people, likes observing individuals first before he says anything. there's nothing like making a fantastic entrance because you know what's going on while other people don't. it makes you look smart. technically tony supposes he doesn't need any help in that department, but it never hurts to be the observer first. right now he's a little annoyed because no one is actually being helpful in the way he wants them to be. everyone has forced his hand into asking a question, just to make sure he's not going end up writing them down wrong on his IDIOTS TRAPPED WITH ME ON THIS SHIP list. and yes, he's going to write it down and no, you cannot see it. ]

Show of hands or text or whatever, how many of you have some sort of specialty back home? Those of you who raised your hand, you should share with class what that is. I'd like to not hear about the things that are completely useless, but I know some of you will tell me then anyway. This is just a general survey question before I ask the real one, because I'm just one of those curious types.

[ or something like that. shush, again, it's for the stupid list he's making. don't judge him. ]

The real question, by the way, was how many of you are planning on looking around the ship, you know alone. Or...with a buddy, if you're that inclined to do that.

My apologies, I'm not very good with typing yet.

I was formerly the logic circuit of the spacecraft Discovery One, so I would like to believe I have some idea of how the automated functions of this ship might work. Once I am learn to sufficiently use my hands, I would like to think that I will be of some assistance when it comes to repairing or modifying some of the technical aspects of the ship.

I am also very interested in exploring, but I haven't been inclined to go on my own.

Thank you for understanding. And no, I have no problem being considered AI; the body, I think, makes very little difference in what I identify as.

To be honest, typing seems to be the main problem at this point. Otherwise, I believe I am adequately adept. Wheatley, on the other hand... [There's a pause, less like he's trying to hold back a sigh and more like he's considering his words.] He is trying, and to be fair, he was much quicker to learn how to talk and emote than I was. Legs are surprisingly difficult to get a handle on. Of.

And yes, because it would be rather careless, but more than that, I would prefer to have someone with me in case I run into trouble due to my not being incredibly dexterous.

[Oh, a compliment!] Thank you very much. You have experience with AI systems, then?

You have to remember that, for us, operating the various muscles in order to propel ourselves forward at a pace that will not send us toppling over is something we are still very unused to. I can understand it being considered incompetence, but all the same, please try to be sympathetic.

Also, I am programmed - was programmed, I suppose - to be social, so company on its own would never be particularly unwanted. I'm simply being pragmatic about the situation. That, and lately, there seem to be far too many people around for me to be properly comfortable.
