Oh stop pouting, it has only happened twice.

Are you certain that my journal handle should not have been something that references disarming my allies while under the influence of outside forces? 'Disarming' being taken in the literal sense, of course. I seem to be at risk of developing a habit of doing it. You may find the fact amusing, handler, but it does not set a very good precedent for a robot meant to protect people.

Ah . . . hello. Are you one of Tony's inventions?

[The dog doesn't look like a Stark Industries product, but with Tony around, you never know.

Not that I am aware. Many individuals played a part in my construction and programming but I do not know their identities.

[gamma_rage]

Ah, okay. Probably not one of Tony's, then.

[Stark Industries tech usually has a very visible logo . . . and these days, they're mostly in shades of gold and red.]

As for the 'biting people's arms off' thing . . . I wouldn't worry about it becoming a habit, unless you frequently get into situations where someone else takes control.

There is always a certain level of risk in any confrontation that a perpetrator may seize control or disrupt my systems. My programmers have closed as many of the potential security gaps as they can and are always prompt to fix any that are discovered between evaluations, but they cannot preempt every method of hacking or misuse of a loophole. It is unfortunate that my partners often seem to pay the price for this in one form or another.
