The already rather curt tone of the orange doll was already rubbing Andrea the wrong way, but she ensured not to show it on her face as she pursed her lips momentarily before giving the robot a practiced smile meant to ingratiate herself to a human she was talking to. She doubted it would work on the maid, but it never hurt to try.

"That's actually the reason for my call." She started, her tone even and neutral. "Due to unforeseen circumstances that have been pushed to me thanks to the mismanagement of my predecessor, I have been hounded by the department heads regarding their budgets, as well as other trivial matters. And unfortunately, this has ground all progress with the 'Rooster' unit to a halt."

She let the information sit for a moment, before readily supplying her solution to the issue.

"In order to summarily do away with these roadblocks, I am petitioning the release of additional macrofunds in order to mitigate the problems that the Lhotse heads have badgered me with since the beginning of my posting." Andrea explained. "I shan't mince words, as I know Mrs. Everest's time is precious and her attention is unnecessary for matters such as these, but the additional funds would be the most efficient and least time-consuming solution, so that I can whole-heartedly dedicate my time to the Hecatoncheires enigma that Mrs. Everest gave me."

Another few moments went by, and Andrea noted how little information her optics readouts could glean from the maid. Although it made sense, it being an artificial being and all.

"Do you concur?"
