[ There are a couple things 9S could say to that. First, that he really can't cut himself any slack because he's failing his direct reason for existence by allowing the humans around him to be hurt -- but he can imagine how well Hunter would accept that argument, so he keeps it to himself. Second, that humans are allowed to be a little preoccupied because... that's just how they are. A little doofy and a little imperfect, but that's part of their charm. Most of them aren't equipped to process and analyze like a Scanner can, and so it was on 9S to take care of the little details.
Hearing the concern in Hunter's voice, there's a moment of silence as 9S waits for his pulse rate to lower. When he responds, his voice is level again. ]
I guess things could've gone worse. Our interrogation protocol definitely needs some fine-tuning, though. With luck, Mr. Chuuya will be able to get more out of him than we did.
[He can guess at the disagreement that pause signifies, but he doesn't quite know how to address it; unseen, there's a light frown as he continues on.]
If we hadn't taken you along, I'm pretty sure it would have been much worse. [And, well...] I hope so, too. Just... What do you think he'll do? The whole threatening violence thing wasn't really working so well for us.
Couldn't tell you. He was the most enthusiastic I've ever seen him, though, so I don't imagine it'll be anything pleasant for our kidnapper.
[ Which gave 9S a Concern, but he knew what they were doing when they decided to hand the guy over to Chuuya. Maybe it was cowardly of him, but 9S decided not to ask about the gory details. ]
To tell you the truth, I don't know much about data extraction when it comes to humans. In my time, if we couldn't hack into our enemies for information, we just destroyed them.
