[Okay. Now Dist is interested. A machine designed to look like a human? He already took a look at Guy when he became a sentient fonbot, and good lord did he learn a lot. Leaning forward, Dist suppresses an urge to grin like the technerd he is.]

I see... Is the machine sentient? I can most certainly have a look at it, and lend my genius is whatever ways possible. ...Though I would very much like to record my findings as well, if I do work with your machine.

Is that acceptable?
