It took Tachikoma awhile to get use to the concept of sleeping. Usually at the end of the day, she and the other Tachikomas would just get in their recharge stations and shut off for the day while their memories were synchronized. The concept that her human body gets fatigued and needs rest was a bit of surprise to her, but she got the hang of it.

Of course she still doesn't understand some other parts of it. For example, she usually sleeps in the clothes she was wearing that day. She also usually sleeps on top of the bed. It makes it easier to make the bed though, just need to straighten up the covers.

That's why it's a surprise that there a lump covered by the blankets of her bed this morning. She didn't know you could sleep under the covers. Tachikoma makes a note to try that later, for now, she probably should figure out who or what that lump is. And she decides to figure it out by the standard 'poke it' method.

"Hello? Lumpy thing? How'd you get here?"

The lumpy thing shifts, groans a bit quietly... and then bolts upright instantly. Killer instincts have kicked in. In a flash, Nikolai has Tachikoma by the wrist, ready to flip her off the bed and out of his way. He stops himself from going that far, looking around confused for a moment, but still on the defensive.
