She nods. "I figured as much, this time will be on me. Though without an idea on what your model is or manufacturer we prolly have to get you scanned first." She would lead the way inside. The person at the counter would look at Zero and wordlessly Zero would hear in his mind. "What kind of service are you looking for?"

"I will consent."
Zero nods, stepping in. He stares back at the person, somewhat... confused. It was an exception to the typical fashion Zero was used to. Instinctively, he responds in his own mind.
"I'm looking for maintenance, repairs, and a general status update. I need to know where I am before I know where I am going."

The guy would nod and turn to look at a door down a hallway that would open. Actually speaking this time.
"You can use that room. It has a scanner and a maintenance table."
Caffra would thank the guy and lead them to the room before checking out what they had. There was a station that was a half cylinder from the floor tot he ceiling with a circular panel on the floor and ceiling.
"Stand here and we can figure out how to connect you for maintenance and what diagnostics to run."
You are free to describe where a hook up panel or port would be to plug Zero in and get some info. Whatever you want.

Zero nods back in return, and heads to the room with Caffra.
It takes him a moment to decide exactly where an accessible port would be that looks like it might be compatible with his own systems, before he eventually just takes off his clothes and puts it in his navel.
It's the only hole that isn't... invasive.
Hit him with those diagnostics, baby.

Multiple screens pop up around Zero with diagnostics. General stuff like energy levels and life supporting information, the name of his creator, a basic program that covered just living and not really job specifications. But, what jumped out to Caffra was an energy diagnostic.
"Huh, it says here that your current energy is unrestricted. Meaning that with the right scripts added to your code and downloaded programs you could become incredibly powerful."

Zero blinks at the sight of his creator's name. It doesn't look.... right.
But he doesn't mention it. Instead, he turns to look at Caffra, free-ballin' it.
"Where would I find these scripts and programs?"
He asks, interested. If he could get a head start, that was fine with him.
"Or am I to write them myself?"

She is fully not paying attention tot eh nudity.
"You could write them yourself, would prolly be a lot more custom. I feel like you could likely get a job and pay someone else for the upgrades. It's not uncommon. Plant and Earth would be your best bets for upgrades."

"Is Plant's technology comparable to Earth's? Or is one more advanced than the other?"
He asks, curious.
"What job could I find for such payment?"

"Uhm, I'd say Plant is more technologically advanced only because we are openly sharing any new discoveries with other labs to push our advancements as quickly as possible. Even then there are some individual genius level people on Earth who could be comparable to entire research teams here."
She would explain with some thought put into it.
"Labor jobs are going to be the fastest payout amount wise without knowing any particular skills. As for working out being paid in upgrades or new scripts, that might have to be between you and the person in charge of whatever job may be hiring. Those tend to be more under the table than usual jobs. Some might not even be particularly legal, but it happens."

"What would you recommend?"
He asks, putting a surprising amount of trust in this person he just met, apparently.

"Personally I'd recommend a labor job. You are plenty strong for it, and as an Android your inexhaustible stamina would be crucial to the work. Or if you have any skill in combat, you could join up with one of the defense companies and work as security for some of the dignitaries that visit all the time."
She would shrug before looking at the display and moving things around.
"We should probably run a full script diagnostic to make sure there aren't any errors."
Up to you

"Conflict will inevitably present itself on this planet. Exposure to combat training may prove to be the most useful."
He agrees.
Several errors start filling the screen, essentially warning that data that references anything prior to Zero's activation on planet Plant is corrupted and unreadable. However, the scripts are still running and feeding data to Zero's subroutines that aren't part of his conscious mind.

She scratches her head a bit frustrated with the errors.
"Seem's your creators don't even want you to know about that part of your life... Broken code... No, it's stable if the subroutines are running. Black box theory?"
She begins mumbling to herself as she tries to puzzle it together.
"Too many unknown variables, we might just have to research the creator if you want access to that part of your code, but it seems to be very attached to the memory portion, and seems to act as a kind of... Core subconscious? Sorry, I thought I could help, but this is beyond me."

"Core subconscious.... dreams?"
He tilts his head.
"I am unconcerned. Improvements are more important than at this juncture."

She tilts her head.
"You have programs for dreams? That's not too unusual, people who get augmented with a cybernetic brain generally retain dreams."
She nodded and closed out of the programs.
"Well I'd say that is a passing grade for your current health."
