"I think for the purposes of my mission that you and I should get to know one another."
It wasn't until ten minutes into the taxi ride that the android finally spoke again. Elodie almost jumped out of her skin when it finally did, the android shifting in the seat beside her to turn and look at her. Unnerved, she swallowed, turning her eyes to the world outside before replying.
"I don't think that's entirely necessary."

"Well it's not very accommodating." Elodie replied, perhaps a little sharply. "I don't need my wiki page blurted out to me."
"I was choosing to field my information from your 2036 interview with Tech Magazine, entitled 'Meet Elijah Kamski's Scion Sister'. I will note that you do not wish for me to surmise information from Wikipedia when it applies t—"
