Owner Pose
X If there was any more technology on display in this place, it would have to be called more of an emporium than a lab. CAIN LABS is a large building with spacious rooms and high ceilings, but the walls are covered in GIANT monitors and terminals to various machines run along the walls. The monitors are showing various reploid designs. One has a world map. Another has a city map with lots of colored dots moving around...

    The floors aren't terribly comfortable to walk upon - they're hard and flat tiling, steel grey.

    And standing near one of the terminals... Dr. Cain's tapping away at a keyboard, muttering a few things every so often and rubbing his forehead. "ANOTHER incident? If only I knew the cause. Some of them have explanations... others..."

    "Trouble, Doctor Cain?" Asks X, concerned, as he strolls in from one of the connecting hallways that lead into the main laboratory. his destination is one of the tables full of tools... where he sets down a crate full of clanking SOMETHINGS that he's carrying with just one hand!
Kotone Yamakawa There had been an incident of an ownerless reploid who seemed to be military grade, she had been rounded up by some Hunters on Patrol and now they were escorting her to the Cain. Kotone had simply come to go shopping for computer hardware. She'd heard about the durableity of the local tech and thought it might be useful for the Flotilla's colony. Then her day went bad, she'd not expected to be corned by armed troops and dragged off like this. She'd beben bound and was force to walk. She'd stopped yelling but there was a hateful look in her eyes as she was brought in. She looked /very/ human, none of the normal features reploids had to make them stand out from their makers. She was also wearing clothing rather than armour, eveyrthing seemed to hint to some sort of stelath model. She also appeared to be Japanese.

"X? Doc? We got ... a handful here. Unowned military grade reploid, might even be a spec ops model of some sort. Can you take a look her."

"I have a name damn it! I am no ones property either!"
X "Nothing but. But you don't need to worry about them. The incidents were handled." Dr. Cain states. Just in time for...

    Well, X is ABOUT to respond, but...

    Hearing a cranky fuss going on near another of the hallways, Dr. Cain and X both turn their heads in eerie sync. Cain gapes, while X frowns.

    "What? How? I've not heard of anything like her being produced?" Dr. Cain sounds puzzled as he strolls up to the troops and the bound Kotone. The ancient archaeologist - who is kinda short, all things considered - actually has to look up into Kotone's eyes, measuringly.

    "Well, this is a pickle. Some advance warning would have been nice!"

    X has made his way over in the meantime, concern in his eyes. For both Dr. Cain and Kotone, probably.

    But he makes a pretty straightforward observation. "She doesn't look like a Reploid to me!" He explains to everyone present. "Thermal signature's all wrong for any of the humanoid female base models. Definitely SOME kind of robot though." And does he ever sound puzzled by this.

    "What." Dr. Cain blurts, stupefied. And again, he looks into Kotone's grudge-filled eyes. "Right, let's get this sorted out. Who are you, miss robot? And what is your purpose?"

    "I can keep an eye on her." X offers in a kind, yet confident, voice to the troops. "We'll get things sorted out."
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa is let go by the two hunter who fall back to outside the lab.

"Call us if there's any trouble, X. We'll back you up if it's needed.""

With that the two hunters are gone. She seems to calm down a little bit but she's looking over Cain for a moment. She is silent for the moment until the two other hunters leave. She looks at Cain as he says robot there's a bit of a glare again for a moment.

"My name is Kotone Yamakawa. As for purpose who is /actually/ born with one Doctor?"

Yes Kotone is very /scrappy/ today she's not yet noticed X until now and she pauses looking almost confused like she knows him somehow.
X "BORN?" Dr. Cain blurts, his eyes going wide.

    X ends up flinching under Kotone's confused look... especially after that line. "Haha... I know that feeling all too well." The Reploid Template gently answers, understanding... even as he misunderstands the look he's being given. Yup, he's got some sympathy there.

    "....Hrrrrnnnnm." The Doctor puzzles over this information, scratching his chin, just after he gets his bearings back.

    "Fascinating. Are you saying you're a full conversion CYBORG, Miss Yamakawa?! That's practically unheard of!!" He isn't sure whether he should be more shocked or more fascinated...

    "It could make sense if she's not from around here." X postulates. he soon steps up and asks while wearing a hint of a smile, "Did you come through a warp gate?"
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa says "Yes born, I kept telling those goons I am human and they refused to listen."

She takes a very deep breth but seems to be calming down just a bit she looks at him for a moment nodding.

"Yes my body is full prosethic. Such conversions are rapidly becoming the norml either for medical need, such as due to injury or to counteract old age. Or because some peoiple just seem to be too disturbing keen to power grab but yes. My brain and part of my centeral nervous system is all that remains really. As for the gate? Yes I heard about the durablity of the computer hardware several companies produce, I'm involved in an indepeant colony, we're valuing reliablity over preformance at the moment."

She also looks at X.

"Umm do you have any ... family? You look a lot like a robot master I know...like the same design stylings she had."
X "My word... our cybernetics knowledge is impressive, but a full body conversion.. and you haven't gone insane.. it must be leagues beyond ours!"

    "Here. Let me just remove thsoe... she's not a Maverick or rogue." X attests, and goes to release Kotone's binders....

    "Hold on one moment, X. I just want to make sure. A quick scan will be all the proof we need to explain things."

    And with that, Dr. Cain goes wandering off to one of the tables to hunt for a scanner unit. This...

    This leaves X just kind of blinking. "Family? No... unless you count my creator. Dr. Thomas Light. Dr. Cain here tells me he was the world's most famous roboticist last century. Sorry to say this, but I don't remember him very well. Dr. Cain found me sealed in a buried, half-ruined lab, sealed in a capsule."
