"Oh! Your mom knows more then? Well, can I talk with her then?"

Rene blinks. "Sadly, I know absolutely nothing about robots. And, let's see...Succubi are supposed to be extinct, though I heard rumors about some of 'em being with the Socrates Group. But that's about it. I'm not sure about the population, though They're not as bad as the Chiang Shih or the Jurugumo, but...Crap. I don't have an eidetic memory. Time to reread Freefall...I know it's by magnitudes of ten, but I don't remember how much. I DO Remember some paperwork mentioning that humanity, in certain areas, was reduced to as low as 2,000, before expanding again. And since they're a one-gender race...they don't have to worry about issues with genetic diversity. Succubi can breed with pretty much anything, but aren't immortal. So...about all I know is they probably aren't 'functionally extinct'...but were thought to be extinct for a WHILE."
She sits down in a chair, and stretches her arms a bit. "Now, as for robots...I know absolutely nothing. I assume you're talking about sentient robots? Those weren't thought to exist, as I don't think anybody's gotten past the 'is-ought' problem. Not to mentioning avoiding the issues of pure black and white thinking."
"As for talking to my mom, well...I can arrange it. But she's kinda busy. So...while I can get you to see her, you'll owe her one. You'll owe her BIG time."
(Kate can ask to summon said character...but it will require a Major Favor)

Chii looks at Kate and sighs. "Demon society runs on favors. Would be nice if we could just do nice things for each other, no? But that is not the way things are." She thinks a bit of how life was like in Yomi, where favors are exchanged much as currency is.
Also, given that Rene doesn't seem to know much about robots, Chii takes a moment to drag whatever she's read about them out of memory, then try to put them together to create a coherent whole.

Knowledge: TwXj8vlw + Knowledge 2.
Reasoning:
+ Reasoning 3. No Fate point invocation since Chii wouldn't've studied robots as much while studying medicine) ·······

Chii...well, Chii is able to think of something VERY important. Namely? There's no such thing, at least normally, as sentient robots. Chii recalls hearing it mentioned, specifically in a journal about using 'robots' to help with medicine. Robotics, despite quite a lot of advances, ahven't managed to get past the is/ought problem, along with issues in robots thinking entirely in binary. Robots, at least in the sense of 'mechanical sentient life forms', can't change their own programming, and lack a soul, they lack life-force.
It's why Demons always worked with biological technology, besides the simple fact that it's what Demons are naturally good at. So...if Mara is a full-fledged robot, she's unique in the entire planet. Or, there is something she is VERY much not telling people.

Chii realizes that, as far as she knows, Rene is right - at least, she has never heard of any sentient robots before, and what little she has read suggests that the problems aren't easy to solve. But Mara is right here, and is obviously a person, not just a machine.
She turns to Rene and says "As for robots, that is what I have heard. However," she points to Mara, "Right here is Mara, who is a robot or similar. So at least one sentient robot must exist, no?"

"Oh no I understand completely, that's acceptable~ So what would you need me to do~?"
She says, with a strong hint of sympathy on her face.

(Ahem. This is what Aspects are for. You...actually got a 7, for no fate points, if you use your Permenant aspect, Perfect little sister. Also, please add a link to your sig.)
Rene blinks. "Um...well....I can talk with my mom about lessening the task, but, well...she's kinda little busy. She's a million year old heroine, but I can..."
Rene...promptly gets a blank look on her face. She pauses. nothing happens. Now a look of pure anger. Now she's clinching her fists. Now pouting annoyance. Now she's back. "Okay. She's on her way. She'll meet up with you guys outside. I...don't think he's going to give you anything TOO big, and if you can't handle it, I'll do it." She pets Kate on the head. "Besides, honestly...she's really worn out. I think she just needs to see something good in the world, for once. She's been the Demoness of Snakes for a very, very long time. Now if she'd just stop trying to make me FIGHT." She starts grumbling and mumbling.
(Okay, that was a nigh impossible check. However, thanks to your Epic Empathy? You now have Aspect: Snake's Secret.)
She turns to Chii, and blinks. "...Ookay. Then, I know absolutely nothing about robotics. Since everything I know says 'sentient robot is impossible'. And since one's in front of me...Great, my mom's probably going to make fun of me for this, too..."

Chii just stares at Kate and Rene for a good minute, mouth slightly open at what has just transpired.
"....I am impressed, I admit."

Kate giggles at the pets and smiles before attempting to hug Rene.
"Thanks~ I appreciate it Rene~"

Rene hugs Kate back, smiling brightly as she does so. "Now, how about we go outside and get going, and we can meet my Mom on the way?"

Mara coughs a bit at all of the sudden attention. "Look, I barely know how I work either, for what it's worth..." She rubs the back of her head. "I was living at one point? There's that. Then I died and now I'm a robot with some programing quirks?" She could barely even THINK her old name. It made her rather... frustrated at times. Her 'teeth' grind together for a bit before she catches herself. "...Ehehehe..." She nod at Rene. "That... sounds good to me, yeah." The sooner they got this on the way, the better.

(Who is this Emilie you speak of, admin? ) Kate nods, giggling a bit. "Sounds good to me! I hope your mom is as nice as you are~"

Chii nods to Rene. "We can then complete our assignment to visit each others places after meeting your mother, then, no?", and prepares to leave behind Rene and Kate.
She quietly wonders if Kate has any idea what she has gotten herself into....for that matter, she isn't 100% sure if she knows, either, having never met the Demoness of Snakes herself.

And this is around when a young man entered the facility, rather scrawny in build and with firered hair. He has an amused expression on his face as he enters the clubroom, his gaze falling upon these still in the room "My bad, I came a bit late to the party, so where are the ladys heading to ? I might need some... help with the directions." He says with a wave towards them as he approaches. Clint's Appearance

Rene...is already leaving, but she does raise an eyebrow to Clint as she does so.
