[Romana's sitting at a keyboard, typing a few commands that can't be seen. She transfers a chip to a complicated-looking set of controls and flips a switch. She begins manipulating the dials deftly and from the far side of the table, a little dog appears. He runs a few steps, turns around, sits and the scratches his ear all in time to the movements

Yes, simple mechanics, really - but more challenging to make him realistic.

[lady_wandering]

Well, I'm familiar will all manner of mechanics and engineering. I just started with the dog as it's something that could be useful to the public at large. I've noted that not all people like biological companions, these could be a... replacement of sorts, I suppose.

Well, that and I have a canine companion of my own.

I'd love to test him out, if you wouldn't be opposed to the idea. I have an affinity for all things mechanical, and he looks absolutely beautiful. I'm not along all the time, but surely enough to test how he affects the ticking.

[lady_wandering]

Of course not, I said I was looking for volunteers wasn't I? He should be fully programmed soon, should I contact you when he's ready?

Do you have an area of engineering you specialize in?

[makes_you_tick]

Please do. I'd love to see him in person.

I've spent a couple decades on watchmaking, in particular.

[lady_wandering]

What's your name so I can make myself a note?

Ah, I do enjoy watches, their mechanisms are quite exquisite.

[ooc: Meanwhile, mun screams: No- SYLAR!!!!! ILU.]

[mis_match]

A mechanical dog?

[lady_wandering]

Yes, quite. Does he look alright?

[mis_match]

He looks remarkably real. If I were at home, I would think that you were deceiving me.

[lady_wandering]

I'm glad you you like him. I certainly hope others do.

[lt_alenko]

You're read for the programming, then?

[lady_wandering]

Very ready and thank you for all the work you've done on it.

[lt_alenko]

It was my pleasure, Miss Romana.

[lady_wandering]

If you'd like, we can meet tomorrow for the installation and final testing?
