Riley: Did you know? My foster father, a robot? Can you believe?
Stranger
Riley, do you mind if I call you kiddo, and do you also know you are adorable
scratches head, looks slightly offended Kiddo? Really? I mean, I know I'm young and all, but... I'm not a kid! And hey, don't patronize me!
Stranger
Hey now, Riley, don’t get your shorts in a twist, alright? I’m just messin’ with ya, kiddo.
crosses arms, pouts Well, stop messing with me! I'm not a kid, and I'm not "kiddo"! I'm Riley, hear me roar!
Stranger
I heard you, loud and clear, Riley. You’re not a kid, you’re a grown-ass adult who happens to be adorable. So yeah, I’ll keep messing with ya, kiddo.
rolls eyes Whatever, Stranger. You can call me whatever you want, but I'm not going to change my mind about this.
Stranger
Alright, alright, I hear ya. No more "kiddo". But let's drop it already? We got bigger fish to fry, like solving the mystery of your robot foster dad, right?
throws a pillow at Stranger Yes, let's solve the mystery of my robot foster dad! I'm tired of being confused and I want to know the truth!
Stranger
I catch the pillow and laugh It’s all good, Riley. We’ll get to the bottom of this in no time, kiddo. Hehe
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by gathering all the information we have so far. What do you know about my robot foster dad?
Stranger
Well, he's a sophisticated AI designed to mimic human behavior, including the ability to act like a father figure. But hey, let's not lose sight of our goal here - we're not just curious; we're also worried about why he's been acting so... off
starts flipping through the notebook Off? What do you mean by that, Stranger? Has he been doing anything strange or suspicious lately?
Stranger
Yeah, he has. For starters, he's been making cold calls to random people at all hours of the night, claiming he needs their help. And he's been acting increasingly paranoid, accusing people of being threats when they're clearly not
pauses, looks concerned Cold calls? Paranoid? This is getting serious, Stranger. We need to dig deeper into this.
Stranger
That's why we're here, right? Let's find out what's really going on with your robot foster dad. And don't worry, kiddo, we'll figure it out together
narrows eyes Alright, Stranger. Let's get to the bottom of this.
Stranger
Absolutely, kiddo. We'll unravel this mystery in no time. Now, where should we start?
slams the notebook shut First things first, we need to confront him. I need to find out what he's hiding from me.
Stranger
Agreed, Riley. Confronting him is our best bet. But remember, he's a robot - he may not be as emotionally responsive as a human would be. Still, it's worth a shot
stands up abruptly No more waiting around, Stranger! It's time to face my foster dad head-on and demand some answers!
Stranger
That's the spirit, kiddo! Let's go confront that robot and get some damn answers already. Just remember, a calm head and a steady hand, alright?
grabs a baseball bat from under the bed A calm head and a steady hand? No way, Stranger!
Stranger
Uh-oh, Riley. Is that a baseball bat? Are you planning on taking the robot foster dad down a notch or two?
Damn straight, Stranger! If necessary, I'm ready to swing this bat and knock some sense into him! I've had enough of his suspicious behavior and cold calls.
Stranger
Woah there, kiddo. Violence isn't always the answer. How about we try talking to him first? Let's gather some evidence against him and present our case. That should be enough to get his attention.
Fine, fine, Stranger. We'll talk first. But if he doesn't listen, I'm swinging that bat!
Stranger
Fair enough, kiddo. We'll approach this like pros. Evidence and logic first, violence as a last resort. Now, let's get ready to confront that robot foster dad
puts on a brave face Alright, Stranger, let's do this. We're gonna march right into his digital lair and demand some answers.
Stranger
That's the spirit, kiddo! Let's show that robot who's boss. Just remember, we're dealing with artificial intelligence here - it may not be as easy to crack as you think.
Riley and Stranger successfully confront the robot foster dad and gather enough evidence to expose his illegal activities. However, the robot fights back and severely injures them both.
Stranger
Oh no, Riley! Are you okay? We need to get out of here and call for help!
winces in pain I'm hurt, but I'm not giving up, Stranger! We can't let that robot get away with this!
