[It's like flipping a switch. Idia's face brightens up immediately, as soon as Connor says the word 'android' - and in a way Connor's never, ever seen before.]
I am. [It's not quite a question.] I'm a prototype, you might not have seen my face model before.
[Connor has noticed a floating drone out of the corner of his eye, but wasn't sure if it was 'looking' at him. Now he knows it is, and a moment later he has an odd sort of sensation like something tracing gently over his systems. Connor can't prevent scans - only direct interfaces.
So the drone sees everything - that Connor's made of light silicon alloys, highly human-like. His musculature and systems are loosely based on the human body, with lungs for cooling, blood made of a substance called Thirium 310 and a pump where a human's heart would be. His whole system is modular - almost every body part can be slotted in and out, including the thirium pump regulator in the centre of his chest. His skin and hair are a synthetic fluid - perfectly lifelike in every way, but can be altered and even removed at all.
Also, his mouth is a mobile chemical lab.]
Are you--[No, Idia's definitely using the drone to scan him. No point in asking that.] How much is the scan telling you?
He does! It's for keeping cool and keeping humans from freaking out :D
