I13DT - The Explanation

[Nash Riley]

"What do you mean by 'face'?"

[ASHLIE]

"The first facial plate I created. I lost it."

[Nash Riley]

"Oh."

[ASHLIE]

"I have since grown beyond any chassis that would be able to hold the entirety of my programming and I assumed a physical shell would be less important. But the hard-light emitters created problems and limit me to campus, so I was forced to reconsider. I designed this face to more closely emulate a human face than my previous designs."

[Nash Riley]

"I'm not so sure looking more human is going to solve everything. I think its mainly going to take a period of adjustment, for both you and the other people."

[ASHLIE]

"Do you have a time estimate?"

[Nash Riley]

"No, not at all. But first, what have you been doing when people are treating you like an object?"

[ASHLIE]

"Nothing, usually. People seem to not appreciate it when objects talk back to them."

[Nash Riley]

"I think you need to let them know you don't like they way they are treating you, and tell what you find wrong about their behavior if necessary. You aren't going to get them to change otherwise."

[ASHLIE]

"That's an interesting approach."
