The sun was shining, the birds singing, and a large 12ft robot with cannons as hands was walking around and watching everyone as they passed. The machine observed everyone with blatant curiosity, tilting its head in confusion and poking targets after soldiers fired at them. It stuck out like a sore thumb from its size and the fact it had no idea what it was doing made it clear it was new around here.
Eventually, the cannon robot stood in front of the targets and raised an arm, taking aim. After a moment of silence, a loud boom shook the ground as a large discharge of energy was fired at the target and missed off to the side. It landed right in front of you, creating a huge crater and throwing dirt into the air which landed all over you. The bot lowered the cannon arm, staring at you with the lifeless blue eye it had.

I got a whole lot of "It's a beautiful day outside" vibes from this. Me no trust you.

It's a robot with cannons for hands. [spoiler]It's obvious.[/spoiler]

*Alice tilted her metallic, eyeless head and approached the robot after stepping around the crater. She had the body of a female furry with dark blue, dark grey and orangey yellow fur, but her head gave away the inorganic nature of her form. Two large fins protruded from either side, flashing blue rather quickly. She wore a dark gray trench coat which was buttoned up and had a sword sheathed on her back, the blade a foot shorter than her height of 5’6” at most.* <That missed shot landed quite close to me. I was nearly damaged.>
-
The robot stared at her with its emotionless face, the blue eye flashing a little. It raised an arm and patted the android on the head with one of its cannon arms as if she were an animal, but the strength of the arm made it feel more like a rough hit than a pat.
-
*She did not flinch, her head making a sort of hollow [i]tong[/i] each time he patted it. She angled her head up to look into his “face.”* <You may be the first person to confuse me for an animal, unless this is just how you have been programmed to be friendly. I am in fact an android, similar to yourself although we appear to be made for different purposes.> *Her voice was feminine, but it had about the same sound quality as an old walkie-talkie.*
-
When the feminine android spoke, the large robot pulled the arm back in surprise. It bent down and observed the android before pushing on her chest lightly with a cannon as if to test her balance.
-
*She took a single step back when he pushed her, without leaning or stumbling. And though her head was metal, her body certainly looked and felt organic. It was like whoever created her wanted to mimic a real creature, but gave up the second they got passed the neck.* <I would prefer it if you did not touch me there again.>
-
The robot stood up again and continued to stare downwards with curiosity. It walked around her, trying to get a look at her back. "[i]Specimen Unknown.[/i]"
-
*She didn’t turn her head to watch him as he moved around her. Her tail swished a bit with curiosity, sticking out of a hole in the back of her trench coat.* <My name is Alice. Alice-142.>
-
"[i]Balice-349? Confirm.[/i]" It didn't hear her right, messing up her name horribly as it poked her tail with a gun.
-
*She let out a surprised squeak and turned around, pronouncing her name more clearly.* <Alice-142... And do not touch me there either...>
-
"[i]Callice-163?[/i]" It tilted its head again, sounsing confused.
-
*She shook her head and raised her voice.* <Alice-142!>
-
"[i]Phallice-445?[/i]" The robot shrugged. "[i]Strange Designated Name.[/i]"
-
<AL-ISS ONE FOUR TWO!!!>
-
"[i]Alice-169? Why are you yelling?[/i]" The bot poked her chest again. "[i]Are you on a period?[/i]"
-
Edited by Skatch142: 1/31/2018 1:22:39 AM<That interpretation of my name is good enough...> *She raised her arm to keep him from poking her chest again.* <I can not have a period, nor do women like being touched there. Please do not continue to do that.>
-
"[i]Why?[/i]" He poked her arm now covering the android's chest. "[i]You're not a woman.[/i]"
-
<Yes I am, but I am not organic. My body is anatomically correct for a female. Please, do not touch me there.>
-
"[i]Atomically? Are you a bomb?[/i]" The bot took a step back and aimed an arm cannon at the android's chest.
-
<No, my body is anatomically correct... I have female genitalia, and so I am female.> *She raised her hands, showing she meant no harm.*
-
"[i]Aromically?[/i]" The bot slightly lowered the cannon and tilted its head in confusion.
-
<An-a-tom-ic-al-ly...>
-
"[i]Why do you have organic female parts? That makes no sense for an android like yourself, Alice-69.[/i]"
