[Video] A Boy And His Robot Dog

[megabuster]

This computer is a lot slower than the one I have at home... It's like it's ancient! But at least it works!

Um, it's nice to meet you all..! I'm Rock Light, and I'll be staying here for a while! I'm here to learn about living with hu--uh, stuff! Math, and science, and history, and gym, and stuff...

[It would not do his pride well to let on just how out of touch he actually was in front of all these new people.]

I really hope you'll all make me feel welcome, and if you need any help with anything just let me know! Er, I mean, I hope I can come to you with questions!

While I'm at it, uh... I was wondering if anyone knew where to get E-tanks around here? It's not for me! It's for my dog, Rush! Rush is a robot. A robot dog. Say hello, Rush!

[He turned the camera to point it at the red robotic dog at his side. Rush proceeded to bark at the camera, agitated by something.]

RUSH, NO!

[A moment later, Rush pounced at the camera, knocking it and the monitor off of the desk. The feed cut out there as a crash could be heard coming from the boys dorm...]

You mean you were reprogrammed...?

[thereyouare]

[ She nods. But smiles! ]

I'm fine! I'm better...

[ And a nervous look crosses her as she gazes at him. ]

C-can we still be friends?

[megabuster]

[He didn't know all the details, he knew that. But it still made him uneasy and a bit unhappy to know that problems with robots were being dealt with by reprogramming. Sure, that was the way most AI issues were dealt with, but Dr. Light had always been like a father to him. He knew he wasn't like other robots. And perhaps growing up in that environment colored his perceptions.

But the look on Vivian's face... She wasn't any happier about it. She looked so afraid of what he thought of her. Whatever the circumstances were, he didn't want to see anyone sad.]

Of course we can still be friends!

[thereyouare]

Oh, thank you!

[ She turned to Rush and gave him a warm smile. ]

We're all friends...! I'm happy.

[ And back to Rock. ]

I'm happy. [ She looked down at her feet rather shyly. She actually had no idea what to do from there. ]

[megabuster]

[Rock wasn't exactly the best at this either. But he was certainly going to try!]

Well, um, maybe some time you could show me around? I'm still new here and don't know where anything is yet.
