	A "kid size" humanoid-style ambuquad with pincers is in use in the 25th century, apparently programmed with masculine and feminine personalities. One such, [[TWKE-4]] (a.k.a. "Twiki"), was assigned to carry Dr. [[Theopolis]], a member of the [[Computer Council]] {{BR25\|Awakening}}. Another, [[Tina]], is a waiter aboard the cruise ship ''[[Lyran Queen]]'' {{BR25\|Cruise Ship to the Stars}}. Typically, these ambuquads communicate in either English or in their machine language. To human ears, this ambuquad machine language sounds like "bidi-bidi-bidi" when spoken by Twiki, for instance, but differs from "boodi-boodi-boodi" by Tina, likely emphasizing the different stereotypical "gender roles" programmed in the machines.

Little by little, bringing us back so that we will not have to depend entirely on other planets for our food and water. The Quads are not human, but... you can hurt their feelings. It's this sensitivity that separates them from mere machines.
