We aren't even going to get a "superman".
So does this bot actually want to go "home", or is it compelled by its programming to go home.

It glances at her sidearm.

: Because there is no chance of me returning to the life I once led. A utility bot that was captured by the enemy somehow managing to get free and make its way all the way across a continent and an ocean to show up on Helian soil again? That sounds like the most obvious attempt at slipping some sort of spying device into Helios ever conceived. They would shoot me anyway.

It wants to return to a location where it is afforded rights rather than treated like a training dummy or science project.
Mr. Hurricane:
Is that because it is sentient and self-aware or just because it is hardwired to be self-preserving, and wants to go home.
In fact is it programmed to off itself or does it just want to.

"Yeah well, that's a very human thing to desire. You're making me doubt that you're a pre-programmed super computer. You are very intelligent, but are you even really sentient?"
