[ It's a common procedure; Kamski himself has reactivated removed LEDs in the past in order to monitor the most basic of what passes as vitals, for androids.
The difference being, of course, that removing the LED doesn't kill them. ]
You might need to. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. [ There's more than one way to skin an android, apparently. Kamski tilts Alice up on her side; he glances behind himself a moment, takes a small roll of electrical tape from his bag of equipment, and puts it under her head. It might look like a crude pillow, but more importantly, it keeps her head steady for him.
He depresses a few panels, and with a small pneumatic hiss, the back of Alice's head opens. He examines it for only a moment before reaching right in, clearly comfortable with whatever he's attempting to do. ]
I'm going to physically connect her to a computer that I can use to gain access to information about her functions. It's the quickest way for a human to diagnose an android. [ Suggesting, perhaps, that's not the only way this procedure could go.
He looks up Kara less often now that he's wrist-deep in Alice's skull, but he still does. He'd rather know what her reactions are. ] I can narrate everything I do, if that puts you at ease. It may slow me down, however.
