[There's a bit of rustling at first once the feed clicks on. The screen is filled with a small snout and tiny paws and it seems almost like it was turned on by mistake by the pet in question on screen. After a moment or two though, a voice speaks up, mechanical and deep.]

My GPS program appears to be malfunctioning, as I am unable to download a map of the island wirelessly. [There's a pause and a mechanical hum before the voice speaks again.]

Please instruct me on a place where I may find a USB connector to transfer information from my tablet. Thank you for your assistance.

[One paw stretches forward to tap the tablet and shuts the feed off.]

[ He's probably lying in his room like a bum, and instead of getting off his ass and going to whatever room Ren is in he's choose to use the tablet. He'll probably just go and find Ren in person in like five seconds if Ren doesn't do it first though. ]

It's not working?

[ Even if a map download should help fix most of that here, that's still kind of alarming. ]

[Ren can't exactly move around easily with the tablet, so he continues to sit where he is in the living room of the apartment, staring at the tablet screen.]

Roger. All Midorijima maps are accessible and intact, but I am unable to freely access wireless downloads to any maps in relation to Exsilium. Maintenance may be required.

Ah...

[involuntary gasp.

IT'S... S O CUTE OMG...]

[He's pressing his face closer to the screen now. He knows he heard something. Tapping at the screen. Things are hard without hands.]

Hello? ...An application malfunction?

[The deep manvoice is weird but...]

Hello...

Hey! Are you a talking dog? You sound like a robot! Join my crew!

[redheadcarrier]

I don't think there is a map of the island. At least not on our network.

[whatsupcroc]

If you head to the library, or if you can find a way to connect to the tablet, I think it'll work!

( A pause, and a curious look. )

What are you?

[pomerenian]

[So there is someone on the line. He sits back a somewhat respectable distance away from the screen.]

Can you assist?

I am an All Mate. [Which is essentially a robotic talking dog, but proper terms need to be known! Even if it's not exactly accurate.]

I am unfamiliar with any crews here.

voice;

[pomerenian]

There appeared to be one on the tablet. Is there no street view? If that is the case, building one from scratch may be the best option.

[pomerenian]

The library? Thank you, I will try that.

I'm an All Mate.

The city's always changing though! What's the point in trying to map it?

[He's not much of an animal person but-- awwww.

Well you know, up until it opens its mouth.]

Maps tend to get over written pretty quickly; plenty of people just relay coordinates which your tablet ought to track just fine.

If you ever run into a woman with duo toned white and red hair, I would advise you run at once.

[Other than that, Hubert's quite fascinated with this dog...]

As for your question, I'm afraid I cannot help. Such technology is still lost on me.

[payback]

I'm sorry, I can't... you aren't really a dog are you?

[vocalizer]

[ This is true. ... Eventually Aoba will stop being a bum and get up, but not right this second. ]

I'll see what I can do. As long as it's something I can fix without having to open you up I think I can manage, but... we don't exactly have the tools needed for anything more than the basic troubleshooting.

Convenience. Cities do not usually change often enough that a GPS is rendered irrelevant. Is this city very different?

[pomerenian]

The tablet is very inconvenient for me unless I can find a way to connect to it remotely. Using my own GPS to program coordinates into would be more convenient.

[pomerenian]

Thank you. Is there a reason for this advice?

[pomerenian]

I'm a canine model All Mate. I am not a real dog.

[payback]

[What a disappointment...]

Do you eat dog treats?

Do you eat anything?

[pomerenian]

It is unlikely Exsilium would carry All Mate equipment. [Which could be problematic for an old model, but as long as he doesn't receive another worm, he should probably be fine.]

Thank you, Aoba. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

[pomerenian]

I do not eat. All Mates are not designed to ingest.

[He is sorry he is disappointing. :c He doesn't mean to be, honest!]

[alittlesweptup]

Oh right. robot dog.

would your programming even be compatible with whatever file type the tablet is using?
