Hello, world!

[Oh, who's this guy?? Surely not someone any of you have met before!! JK, there's his username, slapped on the post like it always is. But this guy's a human!! Surely there's an explanation for this!!]

This is Zenyatta. If we have met before, then you might notice I am looking very different! If we have not, I do not typically look like this. I am typically an omnic- or as you might better know, a robot.

For the most recent mission, we have the assignment of "blending in" with the population. I thought this could be an opportunity for me to learn what it would be like to live as a human.

That is also where I could use some assistance. I am still becoming accustomed to human lifestyle, but there are many things that are new to me. For example, I have noticed there are certain rules about clothing most humans follow, but it was not exactly something I thought too much about as an omnic. I typically did not wear shirts, but it seems that this might be more of a necessity, as a human?

[As are socks. Shoes. Underwear.]

Another question I have- how do humans know when they are allergic to things? How do I run some sort of diagnosis to ascertain what I should avoid?

I am sure there are much more I have yet to discover, but some guidance would be appreciated.

Believe me, viruses are no joke. They can make you do things you'll regret forever.

[There's a brief pause as he looks down, a joyless smile on his screen.]

Anyway! To keep from getting sick, I strongly recommend wearing lots of clothing and washing your hands multiple times throughout the day. I've heard that microbes often enter the human body through the membranes of the face so you'll want to avoid sticking your fingers into your nose, eyes and mouth— Apparently, this is difficult for humans. Microbes and viruses can also be airborne. If you see someone coughing or sneezing, you should hold your breath and promptly vacate the premise!

[At the very least, he appreciates being humored.]

Absolutely! But, unfortunately, there isn't much to learn from my experience with viruses. Except that prevention is key!
