From a WIP:
Peren looked at Jouet closely. "So what is she, really?"
"She's a robot chassis. Her... owner, I guess, abandoned her when her companion moved to Gilligan. You don't need a body there. Claude gave me a program so I could use her as a posing mannequin for my painting. Otherwise, she's just a doll. There's nobody home."
The blank stare seemed to confirm Darzi's words. Peren stepped off the bed, stretching her back. Darzi admired her figure. Peren said, "She seems to be in great shape. It's a shame she was just abandoned. Do you have to do anything for her to keep her maintained?"
"I have this thick white goop I have to shove down her throat every week."
Peren looked up at him sharply. "I just bet you do."
