Since they had arrived in the area, RK515 didn't seem to be capable of coming up with a logical explanation on how they had arrived here. There were several possibilities as to how his unit could arrive in the middle of nowhere, but the idea that a human had turned into a dog did not make any such sense to the android. It went against anything logical, and the android was only capable of believing in what was logical compared to what was not. He was a machine after all and thought like one thanks to the artificial intelligence chip that was inside of his head, albeit a small chip that was only capable of doing the basic minimum. While they were journeying North, RK515 constantly went through the last memory he had before arriving in this strange place, and could not figure out any clues. All that he could remember was attempting to apprehend a criminal that had an issued warrant with Hal at his side. The suspect immediately became violent and his protocol told him to apprehend the violent perpetrator. In the process, he ended up getting damaged and was forced to shut down for repairs. The last thing that he heard was Hal chasing after the man that had struck him with a bat to the side of the head. Upon waking up, he made sure to check what functions he still had at his disposal, and where he was. Without the GPS system that he used to have, he wasn't capable of getting the exact location of where they were. That concerned him greatly as he expected that if the case went wrong while he was knocked out, that the suspect could have easily salvaged him for parts and sold them on the black market, but that did not happen. The reason why he was created as a means to help with the loss of K9 units in the police department of the city where he was issued. It also meant that with his unit in play, the likelihood of an officer killed in the line of duty was dramatically decreased. He was made by humans, to protect humans, and his designated owner was Hal. The android did not question his creators as to why he was given to the former detective and current police officer. His instructions were also to monitor the man and relay the videos that he took of him back to the police department and the company that created him. Of course, that function was hidden from the Lieutenant, as it was one of the secret objectives lining his code.

Despite his main objective protecting humans, once he became the property of Lieutenant Hal, his main objective was to keep the man safe every time that they were out in the field. RK515 would adjust his objective if there were other officers in the field to protect them as well, but it had been marked that Lieutenant Hal was his main priority. Luckily in his coding, it never mentioned that Hal needed to remain human for this mission to remain in effect. When he first woke up, his primary concern was finding Lieutenant Hal, and when he did find the man, he was surprised to see that Hal was a Saint Bernard. It made no logical sense why the former man suddenly was a dog, and he could feel the errors in his coding popping in his vision each time he tried to deduce how the situation came to be. Instead, RK515 shifted his focus on what he could fix, and that was finding a form of civilization or even a city where they may acquire answers for themselves. The former K9 unit never really had the chance to interact with other animals like himself while he was active duty. The reason behind this was that those animals were not part of his objective and he followed his objective strictly and did not stray from it. The android didn't know a lot about animals having been grown up in a lab and being taught by humans for most of his life. When he still had all of his functions, he was connected to the internet where he learned the basics of animal behavior and what they meant. That data was now logged into the back of his memory, ready to be called forth in case of a moments notice that they were only going to be surrounded by animals for an unknown duration. There was always a chance that the animals could become aggressive depending on the species, and RK515 was prepared to protect the Saint Bernard at a drop of a hat. Part of his design meant severing several nerve connections that allow him to feel pain, this modification made him more efficient in the field if he were to be stabbed or struck in any way. He would have plenty of reaction time in order to continue apprehending the criminal they were chasing. He has been shot, stabbed, clubbed, and more during his time with the Police Department. It was part of the job, and each time he felt nothing and was returned back to the company that created him. He was never completely destroyed, which was beneficial as his destruction would mean it would take the company that created him an extensive time to create another new model. While he was active, they were researching the next step in their creation, not once thinking about whether using animals for technological experiments was ethical. All they cared about was getting their name out there and making money.

RK515 needed to remain vigilant the entire journey, and there was no set destination, only a goal. Find civilization or other organisms that are capable of speech. The android had no idea if they would be capable of turning Hal back into being a human unless they had the right equipment to download the other's brain into another body. RK did not bother to share the possible answers that he had with the Lieutenant, already having decided that it would only have a negative impact on his mental health. The former human's mannerisms were already inconsistent with the regular emotions RK is used to seeing. He may even consider the change to be more animalistic. Compared to the completely organic Saint Bernard, a smaller canine stood next to him, only a couple of inches shorter from the larger animal. A black and silver Eurasian timber wolf stood at the edges of the desert with his owner, his eyes constantly scanning anything in front of him. The android sports metal legs compared to that of a metal prosthetic. However, the legs were made with military grade materials as a means of remaining durable during extreme conditions. A black K9 vest wraps around his back, a small portion of his chest, and shoulder. The K9 vest itself reads 'Police Department'. A smaller mechanical feature is his right eye that looks to be replaced by a robotic eye. The blue ring where an iris would be, but not looking completely like that of a regular eye. His right eye seemed to resemble blue at the moment, while his left eye remained a normal organic brown. The last mechanical feature that is harder to spot, is the metal teeth that the Eurasian timber wolf sports instead of regular teeth. The teeth themselves being made out of titanium, but are only as strong as the jaw power that any canine would have. While he stands there, RK515 seems to shift his weight from left the right, his metal claws digging in the ground as he scans the area.

What he considers to be functions, are called powers in this world. X-ray vision and enhanced senses scanning the area in front of him for any sign of life but not finding any in the couple feet around them, but also not finding any traps either. RK515 also is able to smell the strange scent that the Lieutenant is smelling. He looks down near where they are, taking a couple of steps forward. With his nose lowered to the ground, he begins to analyze the smell.

Analyzing Scent....

Analysis complete.

Scent: Urine

Designation: Scent Marker

Species: Data Not Available, Multiple Species

The smell of the scent did not seem to bother the android all that much. He wasn't capable of expressing emotions anyway. Raising his had again, his right eye having turned yellow during his analysis, returned to blue before he begins to speak. "[glow=#212121,2,200]Lieutenants, what you are smelling is a mixture of water, urea, chloride, sodium, potassium, creatinine, and other dissolved ions, and inorganic and organic compounds. Animal urine. Animals commonly use urine as a means of marking their territory. Also, there may be traces of carrion around in this desert environment that would add to the smell.[/glow]" The android would explain in complicated terms and robotically like he usually did. Turning his gaze back further into the desert, the lupine looked for traces of life in the distance. As he listened closely, he could hear what sounded like voices off in the distance, albeit fate. Turning that function off, he turned to look back at the Lieutenant. "[glow=#212121,2,200]Lieutenant, I am detecting life in the area ahead. I have been able to identify voices, but I am unable to discern if they are animal or human from this distance. Recommended course of action is to travel across the desert to the jungle.[/glow]" Quick and to the point is exactly how he spoke. Unit RK515 would not move unless Hal moved, and if the Saint Bernard did not enjoy his recommendation, he could simply deny his choice and they will go somewhere else. He is unsure of the larger dogs exhaustion level and if he would be able to make the journey to the jungle beyond the desert.
