"I have." Daneel again turns several pages, to an illustration of a robot. Not an unusual looking robot, at least not by Daneel's point of view: a standard style of design for an Auroran robot. The face is smooth and metallic and expressionless, inflexible. Giskard is something far more obviously inhuman than Daneel, that much is certain.

"Friend Giskard was physically typical of many Auroran robots, and he was made long before I was. Still, Dr. Fastolfe was a very renowned roboticist, whose designs for positronic brains were remarkable. Mentally, I believe friend Giskard to have been as sophisticated as myself, if not more so, although admittedly different owing to my humaniform design." An interesting question, perhaps, of how much of that was due to the nature of being humaniform, and how much was due to the initial design of the positronic brain. "I believe that this was the case even before he accidentally gained the mental powers he has now passed to me."

And he misses Giskard. What Giskard would have thought of Daneel's fit of weeping for him Daneel isn't prepared to answer. At least with Elijah there had been a sense of... inevitability. He had been a very old man.
