	Canis-V stood silently as the meeting came to a close and simply observed.

	Canis-V ran a victory chime audio file with the volume on silent, as It's Communications System suite was indicating that this was an inappropriate time for that sound. An image of Dr.Michail's face during the meeting flashed in it's H.U.D. and it held Canis-V's attention for a microsecond before it was removed.

	Canis-V had time to thoroughly review the mission and build a comprehensive dossier on every aspect of its parameters and objectives by the time It and Dr. Michail left the meeting room. Dr.Michail followed Canis-V out of the room and into the offices. Once again Canis-V made it's way through the office as people scrambled to get out of it's way. This time, however, Dr.Michail walked in It's wake. His face appeared smooth and impassive, but Canis-V could read in his micro-expressions that he was giving signs of stress and frustration. It held open the door as Dr.Michail walked through and closed it behind them after. 

	Once the pair had walked deeper into the stairwell Dr.Michail stopped and turned to Canis-V, looking it in the faceplate, "Okay, lets have a quick talk about your behavior during the meeting." For a moment they stared at one another before the Machine replied,[color=darkgreen]"To what are you refering Doctor?"[/color] Dr.Michail's eyebrow rose. 

"Listen, they may not know you, but I can tell when you're being snarky. 'this would be a gross mismanagement of my potent abilities', really? You basically told that man his job was beneath you!" Canis-V was silent for a moment as it processed how to respond. 

[color=darkgreen]"It is."[/color]

Dr.Michail snorted and shook his head while he put it in his hand,"Unbelievable."

	He turned and began to walk down the stairs again as he spoke with Canis-V, "I understand that you might be frustrated that you're getting the run around, hell after being locked in the basement for three months I'd be pissed too." He stopped at the next landing and opened the door, before turning back to Canis-V," But if they understood you like I do, that could've cost us this chance to get you out into the world." Canis-V was silent so Dr.Michail continued,"I'll see you at the Warehouse. You've got your pick of the litter from the Flight Modules. I'll let you find your own way to the warehouse, give you a chance to stretch your legs." He patted Canis-V on the shoulder with the hand that wasn't holding the door open,"Don't get into trouble."

"Acknowledged." [/color]

	Dr.Michail nodded and then left the stairwell. Canis-V stood there, still for just a moment, before it turned and made it's way down to the engineering labs. The long walk was quiet and it had to be careful not to damage the steps. once it arrived in the labs it made it's way to the docking station and once it was secure it's Flight Module of choice was removed from one of the module racks on the wall and the automatic assemble arms began the process of attaching them to Canis-V's frame.

[color=darkgreen][HIGH MOBILITY FLIGHT MODULE ADDED][/COLOR]

	The flight module that Canis-V chose presented as a pair of caplets that trailed over it's shoulders. The capes were green with a black border, and were made of an electrostatic titanium weave. They shimmered in the light and with a 'VWOMP' the fabric went taught and snapped out to it's full size. The flight module when fully extended resembled a set of dragonfly wings, which began to oscillate at rapid speed. Canis-V's feet left the floor, and after hovering and testing the module for a moment Canis-V dropped to the floor and began to make it's way out of the building.
 
	As it made it's way to the roof it reviewed the specifications of the module it had chosen. The H.M. Flight module sacrificed speed and power for unparalleled maneuverability, perfect for dense city streets and close quarters combat. Once it arrived at the roof of Veridian Technologies it deployed it's wings once again, and launched itself into the air. Canis-V used the wings to guide it's momentum as it aimed itself towards its next location and began it's journey.
