RK515 did not have a choice in whether or not it wanted to be made into a machine that would eventually serve humans. In fact, its creation was certainly difficult as the scientists had to make a design choice. Attempting to do conduct the experiments on regular dogs proved lethal as the bodies could not handle the stress that they were put under. So, they turned to the animals that dogs were descendent from, as wild animals were hardier and could go through more punishment than domesticated animals in most cases. Its body had nearly been dead, on the last legs of its life. The conservation area that held a wolf pack did not believe that the animal would be able to survive and was willing to donate its body toward science, and the conservation was offered a large sum of money to deliver the corpse to the facility in a nearby city. The conservation had been correct in its assumption that the small runt wouldn't be able to survive the harsh conditions compared to the rest of the pack that it belonged to. Once it was delivered to the facility, the humans began to train and heal the animal to the point where surgery would become possible. It was during this process that brain surgery was conducted, and it was from that moment on it felt as if the android had just woken up. The only reason why RK515 knew about any of this was because of the article and files that were downloaded into its interface a year after its creation. Currently, it had no memory of the life that it once left, and the only actual memories that it carried was waking up in the lab where it was created. Thanks to the brain implants, they manipulated its memory and its emotions, making it completely complacent and obedient to every command that was given toward it. At first, the scientists took the process slow in case the animal could not handle the stress to its body. The runt was a fighter and continued to show promise after each surgery. It was only after the introduction of the AI chips that RK515 started to feel strange, not used to having so many different functions but also a voice in the back of its head that was not it's own. The AI had a complete way of taking control of its body if it did an action that was not within a protocol or within regulation. Or, if it ended up becoming a detriment to humans that were in the area. Similar to that of a shock collar, the AI Maria was capable of distributing small electrical shocks through the android's body to express displeasure in an action, and the android would immediately change its behavior to suit the situation better. It was punished several times during the early tests on its capabilities, and once it was released into the field it rarely needed to have its actions as much. Because of the manipulation that the canine went through, it did not think about whether it preferred having mechanical appendages or being completely organic. It wasn't allowed to think on its own.
When it came to the knowledge that it had on technology, it seemed to excel compared to the animals that existed in these parts. With the advancement of human technology, it was easy to see as they evolved and how the cities shifted themselves to show exactly that. Buildings were more advanced and some were considered to be 'green' and not produce as much pollution in the air. It was almost ironic that when the unit was released outside for the first time, it was able to calculate the different pollutants that were in the air and how horrible pollution was in the city that it was stationed in. Smaller robots were created as a means of toys, and there were some facilities that would use robots as waiters or waitresses so that they would not need to hire humans to do the work. One did not need to pay a robot a salary because there were no laws stating that they would to as most robots did not have a form of sentience and were pre-programmed with responses. Vehicles were starting to drive themselves based on the coding that was found in their motherboards, allowing for fewer traffic accidents found within the city limits. Computers could run faster than ever before, and there had even been a small computer that was inside of the units head at one point before it was scrapped for a brain implant. Holograms were in steady develop from humans, although their creation was far from perfect and still in the prototype stages. Better prosthetic limbs were available to humans that could pay the steep prices. At the time of its creation, Unit RK515 was the most technologically advanced creation in human history. In this area though, technology seemed to rarely exist. In fact, the android had yet to even hear a plane or helicopter overhead. It was not used to just hearing birds, as the environment was created for had plenty of white noise, humans talking, and the sound of cars driving down the street. Everything felt too quiet and still, and whenever this happened it was usually meant for concern inside of a city. The assumption that the unit had about the creatures sentience seemed to be confirmed when it spoke in response to its question. The canine stood up from its hiding spot, and as soon as it did so, the android's right eye immediately began to swirl a yellow color as it began to scan the dog.

RK515 made sure to log the canines name in its databanks in case it ever came across the Anatolian shepherd again. From this distance, it was able to fairly calculate that the animal was a little bit bigger than it was. This was not a surprise as its size was certainly tiny despite belonging to one of the largest breeds of wolf. In its documents, it said that it had been a runt, and this was more of a factor now than ever. Although, this did not mean it was in any way weak. It had already had an interaction with a tiger already, a concerning interaction to say the least as the much larger wildcat could have easily torn the android apart if it had really wanted to. RK515 shifted itself so that it was fully facing the canine, all of its attention drawn toward the stranger. RK515 listened calmly to the question of the creature as to where it came from, and that was a question that RK515 could answer. "Nice to make you acquaintance Machiavelli. I am from a city designed at the coordinates 42.3314° N, 83.0458° W. I am an advanced K9 prototype created by Cyberlife, its headquarters located inside the city limits." The answer that it gave was formulated, and its phrasing was simple protocol. There was a small pause after answering in a technological manner before questioning the larger canine in front of it. "My current mission is looking for signs of human activity so that I may continue on completing the objectives I was meant to fill. Do you know of any human cities in this nearby area?" It needed something. Anything. A clue, a lead, it could work with any clue that it was given. It needed to show some promise that it could still function in these harsh conditions, and it needed to figure out how to fix Lieutenant Hal.
