[open broadcast for Investigators]

[unabatedly]

Now that we've been released, let's speak on where we are and what is going on.

For those of you new to our numbers, this is a Jaunt. We are brought to a particular world and given a task. What that task is...none can say. But it will be more apparent in time, and then we can take action.

[A pause, almost a sigh.]

However, we have to focus on a few things first, such as food and shelter, and finding our way around the city. We'll need to begin our search as soon as possible. Has anyone found anything suitable for us to use in the meantime? We should gather there and regroup.

And if anyone has heard about what was going on in the alleyway when we arrived? Or about the card that was left behind?

You may ask whatever you wish without fear of prying.

I was intended for observational purposes originally, a robot who could walk freely in the Cities of Earth where my Spacer creators could not safely go and a more traditional robot would not be welcome. After the murder of one of my creators, Dr. Sarton, my programming was altered to allow me to assist an Earth detective, Elijah Baley, in the investigation, and in fact I worked with him on several instances. My other creator, Dr. Fastolfe, was also curious about the development of the human mind, and saw me as a tool to help him in this.

When I was not privileged to be working with Partner Elijah, I was tasked with overseeing household responsibilities for Dr. Fastolfe, and after his death, the Lady Gladia.

That's some diversification, which'll be helpful to us, especially the blending in and investigating stuff bits. Have you operated - is that the word - independently before this?

In an investigation, do you mean? Not precisely. I have worked without human guidance, in partnership with Friend Giskard, a fellow robot.

[Without human guidance or, if the truth should be known, approval, but that's neither here nor there.]

He was not like myself, but he had a certain insight into human thought I often appreciated.
