Vika looks up slowly. Without the properly-shaped armor her successor got, without all that time on marketable aesthetics, it's painfully obvious that her face ends at the top of her neck, giving way to metal. And yet what an expressive face it is! Only this close is it clear that her eyes aren't organic, and only really after a moment at that; her expression goes from frustrated contemplation to Blank as naturally as any human's might, with about as much passive social rudeness.
It takes Vika a moment in hollow silence to remember that her IF/F isn't installed here. Of course she's not getting one off this human, duh. That's. Going to be bothersome for awhile.
"Good a-a-aftern-noon." That blank expression flashes into a scowl, and then goes back to something empty. Every time her voice jitters, it goes crunchy and robotic. She thumps the steel of her chest, and something rattles loose that probably shouldn't be. "Can I help you?"
