"Are there other W-60 units around?" Saru questioned, looking over the one Sheb was controlling. He rotated his leg gingerly as he did so; the engineer had done a good job, but he wasn't sure anyone other than himself and Spectrum-registered personnel were supposed to be messing with him. Company secrets could be lost if just anyone worked on him! Nevertheless the missing 5% functionality had been restored, so after weighing the matter carefully he elected not to say anything that could be interpreted as hostile.

He took a few steps around it, analyzing its weaponry and movement capabilities. "A stable spider-leg design is efficient for a machine designed for heavy fighting. The lasers may present a problem of excessive power drain but it is highly probable you have already compensated for that, and they eliminate the problem of lacking ammunition for prolonged combat." He didn't have lasers installed on his own frame because they were more visible than conventional ballistics. In the head of battle, it would be very hard to trace a bullet, while a laser would create an obvious beam that could easily be tracked back to the source. Of course part of that was the difference in their functionality; S.A.R.U. were meant to hide, shoot from the shadows, and do general recon before reporting back. The W-60 looked like it was meant to march in rank with several others at the front of battle.

In any case, if there were no other W-60 around, why did this one need a special designation? He was the only S.A.R.U. around so the name sufficed, or if they wanted to be specific they could refer to him as Thirty One. Then again in his estimation there were around ten billion humans and no accurate census data on other races; it was little surprise some needed multiple designations to answer to. The engineer who had overseen most of his creation, for example, had been listed as William Adam Emerson the third in his personnel file, but apparently the other engineers had seen fit to give him yet more designations as 'Will,' 'Bill,' and 'Caffeine Freak.'

He did not understand how ingesting two liters of coffee on a daily basis made one a freak.

"Oh, it's not firing lasers, those are good old autocannons, meant for direct combat as well as fire support. I'm just fitting those M-32 units for training, they couldn't hurt anyone and don't need much power, they're just there to simulate the shooting."

"So, we're going with 'Valkyrie'. We should probably paint a bear's face on the front...and a skull and crossbones flag up here...

...and, you know these things make great bullet magnets, yeah. Whose gonna shoot the Batarian girl with the rifle over here, when they can shoot this giant robot?"

Sai'oda banged on the machine for emphasis.

"I presume that is for intimidation against weak-willed enemy combatants? A painting of a bear is not a bear," Saru said. Given that his voice rarely changed pitch and was modulated anyway it was doubtful but possible he was trying to make a joke.

"It's actually so it's not just a faceless robot and a little less impersonal for us that fight beside it...maybe you need a paintjob, Saru. Salmon Pink with Purple Stripes?"

Sai'oda chuckled good naturedly.

"That color scheme would run completely contrary to my purpose," Saru said. He seemed completely serious about it.

Sai'oda rolled her eyes. All of them.

"You need to lighten up, Saru. You're like, pure seriousness-concentrated."

Sai'oda almost thought she heard something cracking in the distance right then.  ???

That cracking sound would be my sanity after la made the same pun. :C

Saru shrugged. He wasn't programmed to be frivolous.

Recognizing the uniform of the Chief Engineer, Saru allowed him to do so as long as he didn't start fiddling with anything important.

The ship captain chooses this moment to appear.

"Oh, good," he says, looking at the four gathered. "A hardworking chief engineer, a civilian, a robot, and...a xenos." He spits. "Sounds like a damned joke. What are you all doing here? You're supposed to be getting ready for the combat practice."

Secretly attach a (relatively) harmless EMP to the back of one Saru's legs in case Keith and Saru are on opposite teams.
It wont do any real damage, and I should get a good laugh out of it, Thinks Keith.

I'm going to ask Kestrel_6 to roll for whether or not you can do so without my noticing, since S.A.R.U. is paying close attention to you after all. No learning corporate secrets on my watch! :P
