Saru ignored the stares, although he did briefly wonder if it was the clothes, the fact he was synthetic, or that he was a synthetic wearing those clothes that attracted them. Probably the last bit. He adjusted his hat slightly, wondering if perhaps he couldn't just wear a long coat buttoned up over a hooded sweatshirt - hood up, of course - to go incognito. He'd probably need boots and gloves, too. Pants were out of the question, though. His hip joints were too square and bulky compared to that of many organics, male or female.
And that was another thing, he thought as he looked at a poster on the wall of some movie or another. Why were organics obsessed with the shape of the female form? Males liked to stare and females always worried about how they looked for the males staring at them. That activity was remarkably inefficient, as was the female form itself. The hips were too rounded, the waist too thin... and how were you supposed to aim a rifle from a prone position if you're worried about squashing portions of your anatomy? It's a shame that whoever designed him didn't design people, too, he felt. And the best part? He wasn't even a finished product. He was quite excited to see what the result of all of Spectrum Corporation's research in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence would create... and he was part of it! Was that what humans felt about religion? Being a cog in the machine of something much greater?
His thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of a bar fight, and he took a few steps into it to see what the problem was.
