Some of the things it can't do aren't safe to share, because they're personal safety protocols. Talking about memory malfunctions, letting exits out of its sights, admitting to preferences and wants out loud. (Getting better about that last one, though. Not with an actual handler. Well, who'd want to tell the good Inspector about anything you want, anyway?)

Some things, however, are fine-- operational protocols were public knowledge among those who kept it, after all. Ironically, they're probably the worse things.

Its tone isn't precisely conversational, but it is uninflected and unemotional. Just reciting the rules. "Disobey a handler. Disobey field command. Leave living witnesses while on a mission. Engage in threatening behavior towards technicians." (Did that one anyway.) "Fail a mission or leave it incomplete. Make excessive eye contact. Resist returning to base. Ask for things. Remember." A shrug, a little tilt of the head. "A few of those are getting better. Some I'm sure will never go away."
