The first thing it noticed upon activation, was that two humans were standing in front of it. One man and one woman, to be specific. It took exactly 2.002 seconds to adjust its visual lenses — its eyes in other words — to optimal focus, and it seemed like in the meantime the humans had taken notice of its awakening. The woman was now staring at it with what its database told her, curiousity.

"GK 700, register your name." The man spoke up, immediately activating the standard protocol. It awaited the order, looking blankly at the woman who cleared her troath before stepping forward to signal that it was her from whom its 'name' would come.

"Your name is Trucy." Its LED turned from the steady light blue to a yellow, its rapid blinking showing it was processing the new data. It only lasted for 1.0001 seconds, before the blue colour came back.

"Understood. My name is Trucy." As the android — Trucy — confirmed its name the two humans exchanged words about its functions, it was more like a last minute reminder. As they were in optimal angle for scanning, Trucy immediately scanned the woman.

MYERS, Dahlia
woman, 31 years old
DPD detektive, Red Ice hunter
Criminal records: none ///

According to Trucy's database, this woman was one of its soon-to-be partners, along with her partner who was also her husband. Detective Myers was a woman of asian origin with a symmetrical face, dark brown eyes and straight black hair, which she cut short. The Detective wasn't in the standard DPD uniform, instead she wore a loose bordeaux turtleneck sweater and a light grey coat over it. Her jeans were of similar hue as her coat, held in place by her black belt. Her boots were also coal black, they reached the middle of her shins. From a logical and technical point of view, Detectice Myers dressed in a practical way — exept for the silvery ring on her ring finger, that is. Of course all these informations meant that by scanning the man, Trucy's mission wouldn't have progressed. Thus, his identity was irrelevant to the android.

"Got it. Thanks, once again. I'm very curious what it could do." As Detective Myers finished the conversation with the other human, he curtly nodded before leaving the the android and her alone. Trucy watched blankly its partner's face, before she smiled at it.

"Welp, hello there Trucy. Welcome to the team! I'm Dahlia Myers, detective at DPD. I guess you knew this already but — whatever."

Detective Myers offered her hand for a handshake: a common occurence in western culture when two humans met and intorduced themself.
