There was no sense of grogginess or tiredness, only the darkness of inexistence, then consciousness. It brought its sensory suite online, getting it's 360 degree vision and crsip audio recievers to observe it's surroundings. It found itself in its docking station within Veridian Technologies main lab. The docking station was a platform slightly raised off the floor, surrounded by automatic assembly arms and spare parts. There were racks and shelves for more loadouts, but Canis-V and it's engineering team had been restricted from their access until Canis-V could prove its worth, something it did not understand. At the operator seat for the docking station sat one of the engineers. Canis-V's internal H.U.D. displayed his available information, and it reviewed the dossier in a fraction of a second before speaking. The sound that escaped it's speakers was an androgynous, slightly feminine, artificial voice. It spoke with a warm, welcoming tone that it did not feel. [Color=Darkgreen] "Good Morning, Dr.Mchail." [/color] The middle aged man with black hair and green eyes looked up at Canis-V with a smile. He wore a pair of coveralls covered in grime and machine oil, amd his voice was hoarse and rough. Canis-V assessed that he needed more sleep. "Good morning Canis-V! Excited for the big day?" Canis-V turned its featureless faceplate in Dr.Michail's direction. It did not need to, but it had noticed that this action seemed to put it's organic counterparts at ease. [COLOR=darkgreen]"I am at the operational standard set by the parameters given to me."[/color] The greasy engineer raised an eyebrow,"Missing your weapons and Modular enhancements?" There was a brief pause as Canis-V processed his words. [COLOR=darkgreen]"Yes, my functionality is limited."[/color] Dr.Michail sighed and nodded, "I understand Canis-V, but thems the breaks. If you want to operate in the city, you've got to keep to their standards... although," The doctor rubbed his chin, scratching at the light stubble that had begun to form there, "You're supposed to have a meeting with the big wigs up top before you head out, maybe you can convince them to let you have your Modular gear back." [COLOR=darkgreen][MISSION RECIEVED] [MISSION PARAMETERS: DEBRIEF WITH 'BIGWIGS'] [PRIOTITY: ONE] "Acknowledged."[/COLOR] Canis-V ran the undocking procedure through its systems. Crisp clicks and whirrs could be heard as thick cables detached themselves from Canis-V's frame and locks released, letting it leave the docking station. [COLOR=darkgreen]"Have a good day Dr.Mchail."[/color] The doctor nodded and waved, turning around to go over something on his screen. Canis-V walked towards the stairs, as it was too heavy for the elevator, and began to climb tirelessly to the Executive suites. Upon arriving it walked through the offices of Veridian Technologies executive floor and found people scrambling to get out of its way fearfully. Canis-V found the reaction confusing, but said nothing. Upon arriving at it's location, Canis-V approached the secretary for the Executive office. [COLOR=DARKGREEN]"Hello, I am here for my debriefing with the 'Bigwigs'."[/color]
