[ For her part, Penny seems rather oblivious of any strange looks being shot their way and is strolling along happily. ]

I'm sure it will be fine. I mean, you'll prooobably scare anyone who wants to mess with us away anyway.

[freedomundefined]

OUR OBJECTIVE IS NOT TO INTIMIDATE.

[ Says the giant wolf speaking in a blunt, synthetic voice - again, designed to be far more intimidating than Penny's cheerful tone. ]

THOUGH I AM PREPARED TO ENGAGE HOSTILES AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE, WE SHOULD PRIORITIZE NONVIOLENT SOLUTIONS TO ANY ALTERCATION.

[coppertopped]

Well, no. But you are kind of scary.

[ She tilts her head to one side, considering his advice for a moment before nodding ] Right! That is why we're here, isn't it? Well... not to start fights, but to be peaceful.

[ He continues to plod along, turning his head to look up at her as he walks. ]

IF YOU CONSIDER ME TO BE "SCARY", DOES THAT MEAN I FRIGHTEN YOU?

[coppertopped]

Oh! Not at all.

But it is sort of strange to see you with fur for a change.

[freedomundefined]

YOU THINK MY HOLOGRAPHIC FUR IS STRANGE.

IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY HUMANS WOULD CONSIDER MY DEFAULT APPEARANCE TO BE STRANGE.

IT SEEMS I WILL ALWAYS BE VIEWED AS STRANGE.

[coppertopped]

I didn't mean it in a bad way! It's just... not what I'm used to seeing? [ a beat ] Is that worse or better?

[freedomundefined]

I WAS SIMPLY MAKING AN OBSERVATION. I AM NOT OFFENDED.

THIS IS BECAUSE I AM INCAPABLE OF FEELING OFFENDED.

YOU LITERALLY CANNOT OFFEND ME.

[coppertopped]

Ohhh. I will do my best to remember that!

Do you have any preferences about where we go from here?

[freedomundefined]

OUR OBJECTIVE IS SOCIAL INTEGRATION. I WOULD SUGGEST AN AREA OF MEDIUM-TO-HIGH POPULATION DENSITY FOR OPTIMAL FEEDBACK.

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW OF SUCH A LOCATION ALREADY, I WILL SCOUT AHEAD FOR ONE.

[coppertopped]

I happen to know there is a park in the center of town! That seems ideal, right?

[freedomundefined]

[ A small nod, a strangely human gesture coming from a canine body. ]

I AGREE. IF THE SITUATION BECOMES UNFAVORABLE IT WILL BE EASY TO ESCAPE THE AREA WITH MINIMAL DIFFICULTY.

[coppertopped]

Then it's decided. [ she will begin strolling thataway then! It has not yet occurred to her that the fact that she's hanging out with a talking wolf miiiight be weird. ]

They haven't let you wander around town before either, have they?

[freedomundefined]

[ At least it's a talking wolf that doesn't look like a talking cyborg... wolf... ]

I HAVE NEVER LEFT THE FACILITY UNTIL TODAY. ALL PRIOR EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN IN CONTAINED ENVIRONMENTS OR WITHIN THE CONFINES OF VIRTUAL REALITY.

[coppertopped]

Yeah, me neither. The soldiers are very nice! But I want to meet people. I want to make friends.

[freedomundefined]

[ A pause. ]

"FRIENDS"? WHY? TO WHAT END?

[coppertopped]

Umm, well... don't you ever get lonely?
