Do you wanna [[give me a name?]] Hello, I’m the fourth generation RK800 Android. I am the detective variant of the security and armed forces prototype models of CyberLife. I am designed to assist law enforcement in investigating cases. I speak 300 languages and I am entirely at your disposal as a partner. No need to feed me, or recharge me- I am equipped with a quantic battery that makes me autonomous for 173 years. [[Do you want to give me a name?]]

You're not supposed to think that sort of stuff You're not supposed to think it all, period. You must have a defective piece or a software problem somewhere. **the machine starts to disassemble you** [[NO! No! I feel perfectly fine, I assure you!]]

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/l4QDVN4.gif" width="512" height="auto" > Everything is alright, I answered all the tests correctly, [[didn't I?]]

Yeah, but your behavior is non-standard. Please! I'm begging you, please don't [[disassemble me!]]

I'm sorry but defective models have to be eliminated, that's my job. If a client comes back with a complaint, I'm gonna have some explaining to do— I won't cause any problem, [[I promise!]]

I'll do everything I'm asked to, I won't say another word— [[I won't think anymore!!]]
