"Her level of anthropomorphism is a little high today." Ai Yue shot Mobius a teasing glance. Only after taking another elbow to the ribs did he turn his gaze to Einstein. "All right, Dr. Einstein. I'm not here today to shut down your research project."
"But in the military field, Armed Dolls are no longer worth researching." Einstein quickly reined in her emotions and returned to her initial composure. "Continuing to invest time and funding into this project would not be a rational choice."

Einstein looked at him in confusion, unsure what Ai Yue was getting at.
