[i]A man walked into the dojo's sparring room and set it to look like a stereotypical office. His name was Charlie. He's a handsome psychiatrist who has come to evaluate the mental state of the Dojo. All dojo members are required to meet him for his collection of data.[/i]
[spoiler]Open to everyone! And no this isn't actually required, but you'll be missing out if you don't reply.[/spoiler]

[b]The robot does as told, sitting in the chair [/b] "You are Mister Charlie?"
-
"Yes, I am. I'm not sure why you're here though. I'm here to test patients with a brain and you being a robot...that's different."
-
"Challenge you. Much different with robots"
-
"Challenge? It's impossible!" [i]Charlie sighs.[/i] "Where were you born?...I mean made."
-
"Born I was. Same as you, maybe not. But my programming birthed me."
-
"Do you know where? What were your first moments like?"
-
"Station Freya, Delta sector, Futura system, Spoi galaxy
-
"Alright, what were your first moments of being alive like?"
-
"Computing, analyzing, observing, simply becoming one with reality."
-
"No emotions? No thoughts?"
-
"Thoughts? Thoughts of world.... Emotions of hate, love, happy, sad"
-
"Did any emotion stand out to you at the time?"
-
"No. Emotions I do not specialize in"
-
"...and you're taking this test why?"
-
"Why do you offer your services?"
-
"It's my job."
-
"My job to challenge, observe, other things."
-
"Well, you're challenging me with something that's impossible."
-
"Improbable. Yet possible."
-
"Improbable?! You have no emotions! How can I possibly evaluate you when there's nothing to evaluate?!"
-
"Emotions I have. Now, suprised at your failure I am."
-
"You just said you don't have any."
-
"I do not have emotions the same you do. Emotions cannot be seen. I only speak of them"
-
[i]Charlie laid back in his chair and sighed.[/i] "Great, not I'm learning about emotions from a robot."
-
"Magical, is it not? Learning experience teaches much."
