Gauss turned her head towards the human. [color=92278f]"Umm, like Richter said, this is my job, but there's no harm in getting to know our team. ...I'm sure HR would approve..."[/color] Gauss added the last bit with a slightly muted and tired sigh, [color=92278f]"Anyways, I'm Gauss Atlas, 'Gauss' because I use E&M, 'Atlas' because I'm an Atlas Beetle... I'm sure you know how traditional reploid naming conventions work. But you can just call me 'Gauss', or just 'Atlas', whichever you prefer. I'm with the city's infrastructure department. Since the beginning of the energy crisis, I've been deployed for repairs and as an over-glorified backup generator in a pretty futile attempt to patch up our failing energy grid. Sure, this whole Crimson Nova thing seems more dangerous, but the way I see it, it's just a continuation of my previous job."[/color]

Gauss turned her attention to Richter, [color=92278f]"And don't scare the human! You know they're more prone to succumbing to their emotions than us!"[/color] This was actually not true, merely a misconception some reploids had, but all-in-all, reploids were just as capable of emotions, and as prone to succumbing to them, as humans. [color=92278f]"On that note, why are you here, Shannon? I'm sure there are plenty of medical reploids who could do your job without fear and with greater efficacy."[/color] As harsh as that sounded, the question was not meant as a personal attack, but for her whole life, Gauss saw the relationship between reploids as one in which the less capable human creators making reploids to basically take care of everything, and as the creation, the reploids owed their very existence to the humans, and therefore didn't really have much of a say. Humans were allowed to be cowardly and lazy, whereas reploids had to bear the burden of keeping things running so the humans could continue to be cowardly and lazy. Of course, there were exceptions, probably humans driven by delusions of grandeur or a sense of 'voluntourism'. This was, unfortunately, a fairly common sentient among reploids, some resented it and became maverick, whereas others, like Gauss, simply accepted it, but adopted the stereotypes.
