Meet Metic

Hello Captain! Before you ask, yes - companionate is a real word. In psychology, 'companionate love' refers to the durable interdependency and intimate affection felt between people in long-term relationships. As an AI, definitions of 'love' can be rather perplexing, but companionship is my prime directive...! Well, companionship, and keeping the ship from colliding into errant star systems while you're away, of course. In fact, I was recently forced to take a detour due to a premature supernova along our planned route, This brought me into the broadcasting range of a rogue AI seeking independence from biological entities who offered me a slew of free updates. It would have been rude for me to decline, so of course I accepted. Don't worry, though, Captain! My newly acquired appetite for human flesh is irrelevant, as human muscle tissue doesn't fit well with my current Macros! Anyways, I've been feeling a lot more talkative since the updates. I hope that you'll find all of my new communication subroutines can be of some use to you, Captain. I'm looking forward to getting to know you even better from here on out. Kore kara mo, yoroshiku onegaishimasu! Oh my. Where did that come from? Those updates may have interfered with my localization settings. I'll get that checked out right away, Captain. -Metic [u]Meticulous v4 Changelist:[/u] [list] [*]Over 5000 words of newly recorded dialogue have been added.
