[Caliban]

The machine spoke with a dismissive tone, yet there was a sense of concern at the edges of every spoken word. It gestured towards the stasis pod while describing the recent incident and Caliban's current state, before finally introducing itself and its other.

[My name is Seidr. Designated lead in the science branch until a year ago. My companion is known as Ullr. We are siblings - in a way.]

It paused briefly. Her optics flared up with a cool blue light as her mechanical hand extended towards Fiorella's PDA. It was a fluid motion of her joints, performed with elegance.

[And this is what you asked for. You will find detailed documentation on relevant cybernetics and current brain implants.]

Ullr maintained his hunched posture. His right claw wide open, twitching as it gazed over the Outcasts. He did not speak coherently, yet Seidr understood him perfectly without even looking. To Fiorella, it almost felt as if the droid spoke directly to her. A false feeling which might've faded as she saw Ullr react to his sibling's every word.

[Please. Hold your excitement. We are not meant to sully our host's generosity, but welcome it.]
