| - Well, I was in my lab at the time so I didn't hear it, but Julianna has always been rather critical of Mr. Parker.
- That's what allows us to recreate our original voices. They can mimic any normal human voice, actually.
- Julianna... Mr. Whiskers died last month. This is Scruffy, remember?
- I don't think I should answer any more of your questions, Detective.
- But that's easily solved with regular tune ups.
- {eager, chipper.} Well, I was one of the leads on the team that created the first robobrains, the precursors to our model.
- Fine. Ask your questions.
- First of all, I am a doctor.
- Oh, well I'm probably just being paranoid, but... She's been so much more pleasant lately. I mean it's been nice, but also a bit unnerving.
- Hello Detective. Did you need something?
- Hello again. Did you need something?
- I can't believe it.
- I supposed that would be alright.
- Oh, god Julianna. Whatever. I'm going to the lab.
- Very well, I'll just get back to my work then.
- Was there something else, Detective?
- What was all that commotion?
- The voice modulator seems to have some minor issues interfacing with the neural matrix, which can add some moodiness.
- Just let me have a look at the neural interface matrix and I'm sure I can clear that-
- I'm sure that's just a glitch in the neurochemical regulator. I'm still working out the kinks that were introduced by the voice modulator interface.
- I don't know really. I try to let her handle all the money stuff.
- Functionally this model is more or less the same as the previous versions I worked on, but without the neural inhibitor and reconditioning.
- Oh, well... that's not really my field of expertise, but I'm sure there are probably some clues at the crime scene.
- Oh wonderful! No one else here really wants to talk about it.
- Secondly, I've told you time and again, you can't get sick inside the suit. It's not physically possible.
- I think she found something in the overseer's office... I wasn't listening when she told me about it. I kind of had my head in my research.
- Oh god, not this again. Last month you were convinced you had the measles...
- {Thinking back on your old research, pause at "hm" to find the correct term. The subjects you were using were not willing, they were convicts.} I've speculated for some time that the issues we had with our hm... recruited subjects
- {slightly embarrassed, you know most people find you strange} Most people don't find it all that interesting, and I'd rather not bore you..
- Most people don't really understand us, but I always appreciated how she can just take charge of a situation.
- It's what allowed me to focus on my research. I'm worried something has happened to her. She doesn't seem like the same person.
- I'm sure it's nothing. She's just feeling stressed like the rest of us. I mean, there's still a murderer out there, Detective.
- Maintaining our original voices helps reinforce the neural network, sort of like playing music for an Alzheimer's patient.
- {hurried, you are worried you said something that will get you killed} I don't want to talk about this any more. Please just go.
- {earnest. You are being totally honest.} I'm afraid that's really all I should say about it. I mean it IS still classified, but I wanted to help with the investigation.
- My wife has always been a very harsh woman, Detective. I don't know who it is in our room, but that is not my wife, Detective.
- Oh uh... well, I'm a scientist. You've probably met my wife, Julianna, already. Not sure what else to say really.
- If she would just let me give the regulator a tune up I'm sure she would be back to normal.

| - Player Default: Never mind.
- Julianna: Hello Mr. Whiskers. Who's a pretty kitty?
- Julianna: Have fun, dear!
- Julianna: Oh... of course. Silly me.
- Player Default: Tell me about yourself.
- Julianna: You're not a doctor, what would you even know about it. And besides, I think it may be malaria.
- Player Default: What do you mean, Julianna's not the same person?
- Julianna: No! No it's not that, I've just caught another cold. Probably something that got in when they sent Pearl out.
- Player Default: I heard that Julianna and Ezra had an argument a few days before he was found dead. Tell me about that.
- Julianna: Yes, but not a real doctor. Robotics isn't an actual medical degree.
