[Most of this goes right over Lambda's head. She doesn't understand all this talk about about lovers' spats and masters and servants, but her name is mixed in with all this chatter, so she feels compelled to respond. When she does, her print is very precise, but also somehow unpolished. This is the first time she's ever needed to write something out this way, after all.]

I simply responded in accordance with my self-defense protocols.

[She hesitates, then adds to the bottom of her reply:]

Λ-11

[esoteric_rose]

So more a matter of training than anything else?

[cobbledtogether]

No. Programming.

[esoteric_rose]

Are you one of the women who is both human and machine?

[cobbledtogether]

Yes.

[esoteric_rose]

Regardless of the fact, you still have admirable talent.

[She hesitates again. She has yet to learn the importance of saying things like "thank you," or "please," so she's not entirely sure what to say to that. Eventually, she settles on addressing another point.]

Because I fight according to my programming and with the use of innate abilities, I am uncertain if I could adequately teach other individuals.

[esoteric_rose]

No way to know if you don't try.

[The reply doesn't come immediately, Lambda taking the time to do a proper analysis of this suggestion.]

My analysis of the situation indicates there is a 82% chance of failure.

[esoteric_rose]

And there's an 18% chance of success.

[cobbledtogether]

The high probability of failure creates a ratio of effort to reward that is skewed so that the expenditure of energy on this task has been deemed inefficient.

[esoteric_rose]

Do you need to save that energy for something?

[cobbledtogether]

Energy should be used in the most efficient manner available.
