MR 04: Enter Lan Hikari
(AN: I feel a need to explain myself. I want prominent human character who isn't a scientist to be in this story, a guy who's sort of a human foil to MegaMan, and what better choice than to name him Lan? I also decided to change the name of the sniper Joes, why? Because I don't perceive them as being snipers)
Lan was his name. He was a security guard working for Light Industries. He was just doing his regular patrols that day. He had any easy enough job, as nobody would be stupid enough to do any illegal actions against Light Industries right here at HQ. Security was still VERY tight here, though. Light industries had enough security bots to lockdown the entire city. Heck, that was one branch of their company was security, and if there was ever a terrorist attack on this place or corporate spying, they'd lose all their credibility.
He wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and bumped into a security Joe. Joes (sometimes called Janes if they were female) were basic androids, designed to mimic human shape and access any areas humans can go to, and do any physical activity humans can do, but they were not programmed to mimic human behavior very much. Though they were capable of learning, becoming smarter, and simulating emotions, they had powerful AI suppressors inside them which stopped them from being able to think very deeply. They could not, for instance, feel curiosity or ponder philosophy. This was very important, for if these machines had the ability to question a given order, feel guilt, or demand something in return, they'd be useless as merchandise-and in some cases, could even be dangerous. Due to their AI suppressors, they were incapable of understanding morality; their only sense of right and wrong came from a copy of state and federal laws pre-programmed into them.
The Joe spoke in a cold robotic voice. "Are you injured?" it asked.
Lan got up. "No, I'm fine, how about you?"
The Joe paused for a minute "This unit is undamaged. All systems check in"
Lan patted down his uniform, and then looked up and saw Roll. Just as the Joe was about to leave, Lan tapped him on the shoulder.
"What's her name?" He asked.
After pausing a second, the robot answered "Roll"
Lan walked up to Roll and spoke with her "So, your name's Roll, right?"
Roll answered "Yeah, who are you?"
"I'm Lan Hikari. I work security around here. What do you do?"
"I help Dr. Light around the labs" She said.
"Interesting, I haven't seen you around. Would you like to meet me at Starbucks after work?" Asked Lan
"Uh…Sure, sure." Said Roll.
