Introduction to Robotics, Friday
A classroom full of teenagers. That was going to be... something.
Kaidan stood at the front of the class, a datapad in his hand and his eyes trained on the students. "Good morning," he said, "And welcome to Introduction to Robotics. I'm Lieutenant Commander Kaidan Alenko of the Systems Alliance, I look forward to meeting the rest of you." He cleared his throat. "Over the past year, my... universe--" It was weird, okay? "--suffered under an attack that involved advanced robotic AIs - that's artificial intelligences - called the geth. Much has been said about the geth and what level of sentience they've got. It's something we'll be talking about later down the line."
He put the datapad down on the desk. "But not yet. I'm given to understand most folks here aren't from the same place, though," he said, "and as we're going to be talking about advanced technology, I'd like to know where your worlds are at, and what experience you might have had in dealing with robotics, virtual intelligences, things like that. So let's start off there."

Re: Introduce Yourself
Ahem. Not that Ace was letting those thoughts escape her skull in any form besides a grin.
"I'm Ace. I'm from... well, I'm from nineteen eighty-seven, but I spent a few months in the future, too. Home doesn't have more than what he said." She jerked her head toward the kid that yesterday's teacher had called Invisihair. "Science fiction, and robot arms in factories and such. They had maintenance drones on Iceworld, though. Trundled along on tank treads and cleaned up rubbish spills on the docks. There were supposed to be robotic species somewhere out in the galaxy, but..." She shrugged. "I worked at a cafe on a freezer sales colony."

"From a distance." Ace curled her lips in irritation. "Anytime I tried to get a good close-up look, there was always somebody in a uniform telling me to shove off."
