So you might have noticed there's a big ol' robot parked out back of the bunker at the Cooper farm. It's large and green and looks very battered.
Approach it, and one of two things happens.
Either you came during the day, and Val Bell is sitting on its head with a good book and a bowl of apples, or you came during the evening or night and it is apparently deserted. 'Apparently' being the key word.
What'll it be?

It is filthy. Surely nobody will mind if she works on that!
no subject
It doesn't look like there's anyone around.
Unless she happens to turn around and glance back at the bunker, in which case there's somebody standing in a convenient shadow. Watching her.
This is not creepy, Neil. Not at all.

INTRUDER DETECTED
Somewhere in the milliseconds between her having her back to him and her having her front to him, the feather duster she was using got replaced by a sword. Fancy that.
no subject
(There's a pretty good distance between them - ten or fifteen feet. The sword isn't a threat until she's close enough to use it.)
"Sorry, did I startle you?"
no subject
Well, she recognises him, anyway. The sword vanishes and the duster comes back out.
"Lurking in the shadows at night can be considered suspicious behaviour," she informs him.
no subject
He nods to the mech.

"Ah, I... did not realise..." fidget fidget sweat sweat
Abrupt bow!
"Please forgive me! I just... it needed cleaning!"
no subject
Wry smile.
"And you're right, it does. Needs repairing, too, but I've got somebody working on that."
no subject
"Ah, and please forgive my rudeness. I am Windows 95. I work in the hospital." Another bow. She's all about the bowing.
no subject
And he's not even gonna ask about the name.

He told Val Bell this. Therefore, trying to hide it from anyone on the farm is an exercise in futility and will only make him look shiftier.

"I do not think I've heard of anything requiring this level of firepower here," dust dust- hmm, this blast stain is going to take some work... Time for a sponge!
"Are you also trained in more personal combat?"
no subject
Which is a hell of a dodgy answer, but it's the truth.

"Well, there's a reason I'm getting Dynames back in working order. I won't be getting in too many fights if I can help it, but if nothing else she'll be great for supply runs outside the safe zone."
no subject
Hey, name plus pronoun equals sentient, right?
"Yes, I suppose you could go farther than most vehicles with her. Except possibly the jet."
no subject
The smile takes on a slightly mischievous cast.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that, actually. The jet can outrace me any day, but if the repairs go well Steve's going to see about giving Dynames orbital launch capability. I promised him he'd get to see outer space."
no subject
"Oh my! Outer space?!" That's definitely something! "Ano... I don't suppose there is much chance of any sort of supplies, though... Unless there is a need for material in the sattelites."

The sponge is replaced with a wire scrubber. THE STAIN WILL COME OUT! FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!

95 is very into clean. It is her sublimation of programming that was originally centered on "Destroy Apple."
