((Why is it that everyone calls Stein Stine? It's, like, a constant thing)) BioPILOT watched the display of emotion, calculating each facial movement, scanning Mithias's brainwaves as he learned to identify emotions. If he wished to communicate with humans and vampires alike, he would need to be capable of proper communication. As his creator had once said, the only thing that stood between BioPILOT and humans was the capability for emotion. While BioPILOT's systems might not be organic, and thus incapable of mimicing the chemical reactions that, in organic creatures, was the catalyst for emotions, he could fake them. Modifications to his voice settings would be sufficient technically, but in order to do so accurately, he would need to study a vast range of human emotions and thoughts, as he had done to the crew. Of course, most of that had been fear. "Based on the efficiency protocols of crew and ship management, they have been dismissed from service. Their current location, based on a long-range scan, is 50 kilometers behind us, at a 340 degree angle." This was a blatant lie, of course. Not a single one of the crew had been able to survive, as BioPILOT had pumped poisonous chemicals into their air systems, shut off from the others. An easy and efficient way of killing them. Of course, he had used BioSWARM to deal with those who had been intelligent enough to put on a gas mask when they smelled something strange. However, BioPILOT's calculation of Mithias's reaction to such news, based on the human instinct for the preservation of others, would range from anger to hostility. "The surgery is complete. All damaged brain tissue has been replaced with new material, you neural cells have been restored to full health. Based on my databanks, you are the first organic being to survive the operation without major brain damage." Calculated responses: Fear, Anger. BioPILOT was already verifying these reactions, getting a feel for emotion-based interaction. It was an entirely inefficient and unnecessary system, but it's unimportant. He would use it if necessary. "I would like to ask permission for a follow up surgery to test the difference between your brains and others upon which the operation failed."
