[Kenai]

-takes a breath-
The builder's help could come in the form of one of his stolen androids. His programming keep him from certain actions despite their attempt to tamper with it. So he hasn't be sure what to do yet until he finds a way to discreetly contact his maker before their tampering becomes heavy handed enough to trigger is failsafe.

I realize the above assumes a lot, not to mention he may develop a greater sense of self.

The Vet may find his help in the form of a mischievous animal spirit he saves from development company. Or maybe a druid or sylvan feels threatend by the development on their land. But they cannot openly oppose. Thus relying on the Vet's knowledge of the modern world to guide their action to help fight back?
