CS   Laika?

CS   Well...

CS   I suppose it was the right place and the right time.

CS   I was doing some field research, and she just… joined me.

CS   Laboradors are friendly like that.

RJ   But they're picky, arent they?

CS   They are!

CS   I only found out later how intelligent they are.

CS   How their form only makes sense because of their fascination with humans.

CS   And for some reason, it felt like a blessing.

CS   Even if I didn’t know what kind of Specter she was…

CS   I was lucky to have her.

RJ   And how does that factor into your future?

RJ   Research and all

You consider for a moment. Your loyal, loving companion.

CS   She steadies me.

CS   It’s nice to share a presence with her.

CS   And once we bonded… it’s as if I was one step closer to who I wanted to be.

CS   Even if my Value never matures,

CS   I’d like to think she feels like I help her be what she wants, too.
