Always on call. RK515 was rarely ever given time to rest, especially on the designated times that it was supposed to have time off to be able to charge and enter stasis to commence any repairs that it may have acquired while in the field. The android was part of the police department and was treated like an officer that was on all. It would oftentimes have to wake up its owner in the middle of the night when it was called to arrive at a crime scene to figure out where the criminal could have gone. The wolf was constantly on the move and it was eventually that it was welcomed to a routine. After working five years with the police force, it was only called if the job was too difficult for regular humans to accomplish. The routine usually consisted of waking up at 0600 hours to get ready for the morning work and to make sure that they would arrive on work on time. Which, normally didn't happen no matter how many times RK515 tried to get the scheduling right because the Lieutenant didn't exactly enjoy getting out of bed on most days. It would take several attempts to wake up the police officer, which usually consisted of him nudging the man with his nose as using his paws were out of the question with its metal calls. The android would then wait for its owner to wake up, and it would consume some water but rarely any food as its slower metabolism allowed it to have fewer and fewer meals. Its metabolism was similar to that of a reptile rather than that of a regular canine. The Lieutenant would realistically wake up nearly around 0640 hours and get ready for the day while RK515 waited near the garage door for the drive down to the precinct. Around 0715 hours the Lieutenant would grab something small to eat from the toaster and immediately head toward the car. As the man would pass by it, he would make sure to pat the android on the head as it opened the door leading to the garage. RK515 was quick to follow and jump into the cop car that had 'K9 Unit' detailed on the side. From there, they would take a drive through the city, and they usually hit some form of traffic that would always end up making them late. Since it could not speak to its owner, it simply meant that the android would have to follow whatever schedule that the Lieutenant had. They would arrive at the police department at 0813 hours. A whole 13 minutes after when they were supposed to clock in. It seemed the rest of the officers and chief were used to the Lieutenant arriving late for most of his shifts, which RK515 constantly had to remind itself of. They would sit down at the man's desk for around an hour until they were eventually called out to either provide backup or if the K9 unit was needed during a traffic stop. RK515 would then jump back into the cop car, and on most days it was normal stops and raids against humans that had warrants for their arrest. Most of the time RK515 ended the day without any malfunctions or injuries that it acquired in the field, and at around 2000 hours they would begin to head back toward the Lieutenants household. Once they arrived, RK515 would stop next to its charging station where it charged the batteries that kept the android active. It could not say that the charging kept it alive, because it was, in fact, a machine and wasn't alive.

So far, RK515 had yet to come into contact with something that it did not know. There were several recognizable species that it could see roaming the marketplace and in the trees above it. For all that it knew about animals, each of the 'houses' were small portions of each animals territory and they would most likely not enjoy having their territory invaded in some way. This was one of the reasons why the Eurasian timber wolf did not explore that area, as despite the area obviously having been created by humans as they were treehouses, the temples were more of a lead of where it could find nearby humans and probably fix the situation that they currently found themselves in. The extensive knowledge that RK515 was certainly vast, as most of all that it learned about animals were from the documentaries that it had watched. The android had more knowledge of human behavior, culture, and religion than it did with any sort of animal. For five years, the android was not allowed to interact with other animals as it was just supposed to serve humans and nothing else. Being a machine meant that it wasn't capable of arguing and wasn't something that would seek out social interactions as a means just to socialize. If the unit sought someone to talk to, it would mean that it had questions that needed to be answered or it needed to collect data on a certain topic. Its creators had never intended it to communicate with other animals in fear of influences that would steer the android to become more animalistic instead of robotic. RK515 could feel the static started to sound in the back of its head, signaling that Maria was about to punish him for standing in one place for too long. The small Eurasian timber wolf raised one of its paws and was about to take a step forward when it heard a voice coming from behind it. It didn't immediately respond to the question as it put its mechanical paw back down on the ground, un-retractable claws digging into the earth. The android turned its head and had to crane it upward as a larger canine approached it. As soon as its eyes locked onto the hellhound's form, its right eye immediately began to swirl a yellow color as it scanned the creature in front of it.

This was strange. RK515 never had a lapse in being able to identify the animals that it had come across before. Belonging to one of the largest subspecies of wolves in existence, this creature in front of it was too larger to belong to the largest subspecies, that being the Northwestern wolf, AKA Mackenzie Valley wolf. This wasn't a means for concern, however, as it was more adapted to scanning human technology and to humans rather than animals. Maybe there was simply a rarer species of wolf that were not in its records that it could have missed. But, it never missed anything, it was far too observant and meticulous to let a small detail like that slip by. Maybe it was a glitch, or malfunction that it was going through. There was an obvious pause as RK515 tried to understand the creature in front of it before Maria ended up intervening, causing the thoughts to immediately disappear. This allowed the android to concentrate on the question that it was asked before. Since it was a prototype, this meant it wasn't really capable of understanding jokes and what they meant. Instead, the android took all jokes completely seriously and answered them truthfully. "[glow=#212121,2,200]No. I am running at 73% efficiency. I was simply scanning the material of the temples.[/glow]" RK515 answered in a methodical manner as it was deemed by the protocol in its head. There was no tone to its voice, and there was no emotion that was spread across its facial features either. It was entirely a machine, and nothing more. There was a small pause before the android turned itself to look at the unidentified creature next to it. The right eye that was mechanical did not seem to return to its normal color and remained yellow as it tried to process information. "[glow=#212121,2,200]Hello. I am Unit RK515, an advanced K9 prototype. [/glow]" It was protocol to introduce itself to any sentient creature that approached it, and it almost sounded like RK515 has been saying exactly this for years now and one may think it was simply out of habit. "[glow=#212121,2,200]May I ask, what subspecies of Canis Lupus do you belong to? There does not seem to be data in my memory that would place you into any of the subspecies categories.[/glow]" Mythical creatures did not exist, and RK515 did not believe that the existence of such would be anything logical either.
