[It actually looks more like computer type than writing. There's an audible rumbling noise in the background, as well as the noise of his Zorua romping around, crashing into a few things. Rinzler has a problem and he's too restless himself to try to find answers in the library. Also, Zorua might damage the library contents playing.]

Advice on ways to keep an animal occupied that does not involve damaging property? Zorua restless with routine.  Cannot always play.

[An irritated rumble. He knows it's not likely his master would approve of this warning, but the user had been concerned about him before. Answered questions. He'd push against the programming restrictions enough for this]

Master is here now. Stay away. Concern not needed.

He is master. I must obey.

... Cannot disobey, user. Without orders, safe.

I could fix that if you let me look at your disc. [This could be his chance!]

[foughtfortheusers]

Cannot. Not allowed.

[Rinzler]

[is0latedthinker]

I thought as much.

I'll do my best. If he does give an order and doesn't forbid you from warning us... [You know what to do.]

I'm not going to give up on you. No matter what.

Cannot betray him.

[He can't help the sigh, but he's grateful nevertheless, and he still stands by what he said.]

Thank you, then, for this one. We'll be careful.
