On an unrelated note, his therapist had just bought a new Porsche.
There was still a bit of time before Sarah was supposed to meet him, and Will decided to give the car a closer look. It was probably just another innocent resident of this strange city, but there was a chance that it could be something else.
Moving closer, Will had to wonder if the car was a Cybertronian, why it was remaining in vehicle mode. It wasn't as if looking like a earth car really helped to blend in here.
"Hey there, do you need help with anything?"

It certainly wasn't the clothing.
He did, however, recognize the voice. The man had broadcast on the network. He hadn't answered because he had been busy searching for Mikaela and the broadcast hadn't warranted a response from him, despite some vague recognition of the format of the man's address.
"No," Kitt answered simply, in his usual neutral tone. "You are Major William Lennox. Did you locate your 'birds'?"
There was a slight pause before the codename - such words always sounded awkward in Kitt's voice.

That, Kitt knew, would surprise the man. It seemed to surprise all humans here when he informed them of his origins. But that was for the best. It meant the secret of the SSC and FLAG had been kept well.

"Well, it's nice to meet another Earthling, uh..." Will trailed off as he realized he didn't know the car's name.

There was no obvious Knight Industries or Knight Research badging. Just the Cobra here and there that denoted him as a Shelby at the least.

"So, are you waiting for someone?"

The good thing about being parked where he was, all he had to do was back away a certain length when the sun began to lower, and he could continue charging, and just before him was Mikaela's room. Easily within sensor range.

Which was an understandable compulsion, and one he didn't really mind - especially compared to some other programming bits he knew about.

Almost eerily.
"The gratitude is... appreciated."

He'd watched on his sensors as she was taken to a room and positioned himself accordingly. It was what Knight AIs did.

He was meant to work alongside a driver. With how Lennox reminded him of Mike, it was possible that, between him and Mikaela, he would be well set for functionality.
