[What was that? Oh nothing, just the feed flicking on to the sight of one big green eye, before a pink kitten nose was nudging at the lens of the drone’s camera. How did S’mores manage to turn that feature on? Who even knew? It wasn’t like she was telling, just starting in on nuzzling on the drone, her purr sending a nearby glass vibrating across the table it was sitting on. Other than the light filtering in through the partly-drawn curtains? The room being shown was dim, the mood entirely gloomy.

Which of course seemed to match the mood of the bot sitting in an armchair with a book in his lap, though he wasn’t paying the open text much mind, just frowning in the direction of the window, unaware that he was being filmed.]

[Now that’s something that can be addressed.] Then we should talk now about how best to snap you out of it if it happens again.

That... can be harder than it seems. [A slight grimace as he runs a hand through his hair, considering the problem.]

There's a couple reasons I got aggressive with you. The main one was you're mechanical but there's no Blue Matter trace. That was how we told friend from foe in general. And then your size. You're... about the size of one of the copper war elephants we'd been fighting mainly. It... makes it kinda hard.

Normally the family can snap me outta it pretty easily- Peter's descendants sound enough like him to get through to us in that state, my siblings can... other than that I think there's some sort of reboot but I'm not sure if it works at that point. If you can think of something, I'm all ears.

We’ll figure something out. If I can’t snap you out of it, we’ll find someone who can.

[It is a bitch, but he’s determined to find a way to help.]

Thanks. I... appreciate it.

Who's closest to you here?

That'd be Sam. [Dumb little robot has been a bit of a hermit and Sam is too damn stubborn to just let that happen.]

Good. Then spend more time with her, because if this happens again then having someone you're close to sounds like our best bet of getting you to snap out of it before any real damage can be done.
