:::Cora emerges from the guest rooms. Her locket hangs around her neck, and her hair, which is well past her shoulder blades now, is tucked behind her ears so that it won't get in the way.
She doesn't even stop to poke her head out in case someone unpleasant is there. It doesn't really matter though because she's entirely happy to see the occupant:::
Bard!
:::She hurries out to see him, a wide grin on her face... not to mention a look of knowingness in her eyes. She spots that he is looking at something rather strange...:::
Oh... Bard, what is that?

((The head rotates to look at Cora. Then back to look at Bard. The last vocalization didn't come from the user, and therefore couldn't be used))

Hello, Cora! *Bard waves amiably*
I'm not entirely sure. It looks like some kind of... robot....

Oh...!
:::She hears it speak, and she goes to pick it up:::
Wow... this is an OLD model... one of the first of its kind I think. Didn't know if I'd ever get to see an opperational one like this.

*Bard peers at it* You recognize it? What is it, exactly?

:::She rolls it around in her hands taking a closer look at it:::
Well I don't recognize it entirely. But from its characteristic it appears to be a either a first or second generation household robot. Or even a personal robot.
Let's see.
:::She sets it down again:::
State your model, make, and date of creation.

Hm... I think it depended on the model. I'm not familiar with an X series.
:::She scratched her head::: But personal robots as I recall did a range of things. From storing schedules and appointments to acting as retrieval units or messangers.
:::Smiling and putting her hands on her hips::: We could always ask.
X12. What are your primary functions?
