Too close to human without being a near perfect match causes discomfort yes, but once you have crossed uncany vally the true divider is cost and personal prefrence.

From who, me? I don't mind telling the truth.

People have tried crossing that in my world- and failed horrifically.

So- Those Sleeks tend to be very obviously machines.

-nods to Cliff- Maybe.

From Caster and Theresa. Knowing them, they'll fluff up what they really think of me, just to stop my whining.

Yeah, but, uh... The both of you are okay to me... although the idea of a organic looking robot... Like, covered in fur, sounds a bit silly.

Do they actualy mirror the muscle groups below the skin though? That is one major thing, getting movment down correctly.

If... If that is about me, I could show you if I had a knife.

I don't think they'd do anything like that. Have you actually asked?

No no! No knives, it's fine!

Something wrong?

I... I have no intention of harming any one, just matching humanlike skin kinda prevents easy mantaince.

-nods- They've attempted that, but its' far too costly for what robots are used for. Just not practical in a money-fashion, because muscles can be easily broken if you're too fine with the detail.

But- I do only speak for Liandri Mining Corporation, as well as Axon Research Corporation.

They're the biggest names in Robotics, and neither of them are working with that kind of thing. We have nano-machines and cybernetics anyway.

Fentech Incorporated is one of the names behind that.

I do my research.

Read the news.

Because it is very boring on a Junkyard.

There are far more than that in general. Some are big enough to have private armies.

They're already dealing with this entire problem with Roger and the Marines. If they can't focus on that, then what good am I doing them?

Are they not at that point nations?

Officially no.

They have colonies, but those are just facilities.

Said private armies are usually mercenaries as well. Sometimes.

Liandri might as well be a nation, they're one of- if not the- most powerful in the market.

And- they're the ones who originally made me.

It's better if you do it on your own. It's something that you shouldn't rely on other people for.
