Chapter 151: Become hooman

"Yes, Mistress. Using human emotions as taught by Master Victor as an analogue, I feel loyalty looking at you. I have a desire to please you. I want to follow your given orders. Despite that, I feel unhappy to be ordered to stay still, because it stops me from following on my other desires. This feeling is much weaker than the other ones. I want to explore this room and gather as much data as I can about everything in it. I don't want to do it, because I know that would displease you."
