I need to find something to do with myself around here.

Maybe I could start traveling and collecting badges again, but...I don't know. It doesn't really seem worth it if I'm on my own. ~~I could probably ask Heather, but I'd just end up getting in their way or somethi~~ I don't really imagine anyone would want a mechanical engineer following them around, either.

...Does anyone else ever feel like they've just flat-out been here too long?

[WHAT. HOLD THE PHONE.]

Uh, less weird and more awesome.

I guess I can take that too.

So do you build robot armor for all your Pokemon? Or make them cyborgs or something?

[That seems like a logical thing to do, right?]

You know, it actually never occurred to me.

[Cyborgs are a whole big angsty can of worms in Metal Gear land.]

Like a whole team of little Daleks. But maybe without the EX-TERM-IN-ATE.

It'd just be an Ampharos with a pasta strainer on his head waving around a plunger trying to look threatening.

So what kind of robots do you actually build?

My last one was a small bipedal one. It functioned kind of like a mobile surveillance camera, mainly.

Do you really think bipedal was the way to go? I mean, it's impressive from an engineering standpoint but compensating for the stability issues might be more trouble than it's worth.

Bipedal robots are actually pretty standard where I come from. Besides, it's not too difficult for it to straighten up in the event of getting knocked over.

Standard for mobile surveillance cameras?

Standard for robots in general, I mean.

So what do people use the robots for where you're from? Besides cameras.

They're mostly intended for military use in one role or another.

...So you work for the government.

I used to, a long time ago.
