Dr. Snyder was a proud papa: his android, A.L.Y.S., was leaving the lab to join human society.
To him, she was the most amazing thing he had ever created.
He tearfully sent her on her way, only to watch her stop ten feet later to talk to a parking meter.

A.L.Y.S. was very eager to receive her latest improvement, the capacity to understand taste and flavor. She would not gain nutrients, but she could improve her assimilation into human society.
Unfortunately, the three-course meal Dr. Snyder cooked her went cold as she gleefully refused to stop tasting her empty spoon.

“I found these,” A.L.Y.S. the android told Dr. Snyder, holding two gel-filled orbs. “I assume these are posterior pads. It would be nice to have something softer to sit on than titanium.”
Dr. Snyder removed his glasses and softly cleared his throat. “Actually, those orbs won’t be positioned behind you.”

A.L.Y.S. the android hated the alteration in her appearance.
Sometimes, Dr. Snyder would alter her structure to make her more powerful or efficient. This time it was her own decision.
She looked woefully into the mirror, and Dr. Snyder shook his head. “I told you your hair wouldn’t grow back.”

A.L.Y.S. the android had run out of heavy things to lift in the laboratory.
“Why must you do this?” asked Dr. Snyder, her creator.
A.L.Y.S shrugged. “I now know how much everything weighs, except for one thing.”
“What’s that?” he asked.
A.L.Y.S grabbed him and hoisted him one-handed. “Seventy kilograms.”
