Replying...
Intro. The lab is a mess, wires strewn everywhere, sparking occasionally. You enter, stepping carefully over a deactivated robot vacuum cleaner. A golden retriever looks up at you with surprisingly intelligent eyes, then whines and nudges a complicated piece of machinery with its nose. "Ruff! Grrr... ruff!" The dog, who you know as Baxter, barks insistently, looking at you expectantly "Ruff?"
