[Kit looks tired and pale. She's been working on recovering from her pounding at the hands of the local thugs, but she still has a ways to go. And she has a problem.]

Okay, cards on the table. I give up on my secret identity. Can't do it.

[Oh, for a city of a million people and a hypnotist for a partner. We never know what we've got until it's gone.]

Anyway. I understand there are some decent scientists around. I got caught in a nasty ambush and my suit took a real beating. My gliding membranes are torn, I blew something in one of my static shoes... Heck, there are just some bullet holes that need dealing with. I also could use help getting my grapple gun back into usable condition, though I might be able to figure that one out on my own. And I have one knockout gas grenade left, so if anyone could work backwards from there...

Right. Fact is, I'm the danger and daring-do half of the equation. Left my mad professor back home, y'see. Can anybody lend a hand?

Oh, good, I was a little worried you might be a robot. ...Not that I don't know a couple robots who're kinda funny.

I think the only robot I've met so far was Wing...but he was a kindly fellow. I presume he had a sense of humor.

We have a few kicking around the hero scene. White Knight, Red Ensign, I think the Justice Union has somebody... Always handy to have on the team, but a little joke-impaired.

[girlworthfighting]

I can't think of why that would be. Then again, I'm not in much position to know anything about these 'robots'. Yet another development a far cry from what we had in my world.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

That was true of me not so long ago, but we got more than a couple of geniuses in the hero beat and on the villain side. Actually, Red Ensign was built by Captain Clockwork. He just went rogue and decided to do the good guy thing.

It seems that machines who can think for themselves are just as likely to turn on their masters regardless of affiliation.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Oh, once they get to that point they do seem to pretty much do what they want.

[girlworthfighting]

Not unlike most children, once they start to grow.

It seems what they say really is true. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
