[Romana's in her City Solutions lab, back to the camera, kneeling on the ground and working on something that her body's blocking from view. With a final adjustment by her sonic screwdriver, she flips what sounds like a switch and a soft mechanical whirring is heard.]
Let's see if that configuration works.
[She turns to return her tools to a shelf and the object she was working on is revealed to be...
The mechanical dog rotates and moves a bit about as it comes online. With a cheerful mechanical voice, he begins to speak.]
Good day, Mistress. Are you well?
As well as can be, K-9. Could you do a full diagnostic check on your control systems?
[Romana returns to her work table and sits, she appears very tired as if she's been working for several days with little sleep.]
Systems check complete.
Are you well?
Affirmative.
That's a relief - I'd hate to have recreation of the other day. [She gestures with her arm.]
I've built a terminal over there for you, please make yourself familiar with the building's home systems and the local Network, specifically identifying Network references and trends in the frequency, severity, and type of curses, as well as any signs of civil unrest pertaining to the Deities.
Yes, Mistress.
[K-9 trundles off to the side of the room as Romana turns to a laptop making notes.]
[ooc; Hey, Poly, have a K-9. He's NPC and godmodded by the Doctor and Romana, but since they're likely to be sending him on the occasional errands your pups may see him about the City and may comment as such at will. Anyone who wants more than that can ask me or Brad, we're open to plotting.]
