Thera here. I heard over the comms channels that Engineering has completed their maintenance on this unit. Echelon did not even let a nanosecond go by without notifying all of the AI staff about it. That does explain why Engineering was slightly backlogged, and a few more crew members were getting a bit too happy at the bar again after pulling long shifts.

FI-NALLY off my shift now (my leg!) and can now look over Tams closely.
Well, comparing her to her previous WIP, her head sculpt is smoother, most noticeable around her brow, along with the discs that appear to act as caps for the rotators for her horns and ears. Her nose is now fully installed for booping (actually surprised by it blockiness, but is accurate.) Her sclera (white area of her eyes) have become a bit more hexagonal, with the grey trim now on both sides around it, giving them a more natural, if still digital look that's pleasing to see. Even her jawline has been slightly redone, the thicker grey part moved further back. With how she has her maw open, reminds me of a doctor placing a popsicle stick or handheld mirror and having you say "ahhh..." to look down your throat.
Moving down to her body, her harness has been properly strapped and buckled, even having the handle. Her antenna's are properly tethered to prevent flopping around everywhere (remember when they made decorations, usually foam heads, to stick on the end those?) Looking VERY closely at her hips, you can even make out the panel separation her outer thigh that her pouches sit on, possibly indicating that they can be swapped out for a blank panel if not needed to reduce weight. Going by the overall aesthetic, the black parts look to be hardened armor panels to protect her body, even on the feet and toes, while the tan/brown of Tams looks to be soft and flexible, being more focused around joints and inside her maw (and presumably her insides.)
It's neat there's even a light box to see her shadow, along with Thera's report/log mentioning Echelon and other station crew. I'd imagine dogborgs are a bit more labor intensive for maintenance and repairs than the more standardized cyborgs or automatons, but equally have their advantages because of their forms, (Along with the moral boost brought by canines) and the more advanced models like Tams looks to be I can imagine why engineering would need to take longer for maintenance. Aside from posing, must be a joy to see the models in motion.

Not the legs! You need them to still be attached to walk.
I had to go over the whole model a few times to fine-tune and clean up the mesh. Some parts were completely reworked.
Overall, every single detail is, as usual, spot on for your eye for detail. The lightbox was a last-minute addition to give the idea that Tam is basically now operational, like on a show floor. Echelon being part of security would let him have higher access to station info, especially with a military unit being on the station. I would have to assume the engineer had to go to the research team to get some of the additional equipment, due to how Tam looks to be a newer generation unit compared to the more classic dogborgs.
