Hey, any lowering of the overall idiocy level is okay by me. And at least you can laugh at the bad days once they're over?

>[Right]
>[And give away that I have a sense of humor?]
>[Wrong]
>[Only now that you're here]

>[Wrong]

Or, y'know, wish that you could strangle people for acting like morons and just get frustrated that you don't have real hands.

I could strangle them for you. You could live vicariously.

>[Aww, that's sweet]
>[It's not the same]
>[Depends on what you charge for the service]
>[I'd probably want to strangle you too]

>[It's not the same]

Thanks, York. But it's not quite the same.

Yeah. [He sighs.] I guess I can understand that.

...Isn't there someone here who could, I don't know, make you a robot body?

>[Probably]
>[Stacy needs me here]
>[Haven't asked]
>[Don't want to try]

>[Haven't asked]

Maybe, but I haven't asked yet. Last thing I need is to suddenly have tentacles after me because it turns out hey, I'm not supposed to be out of the system constantly!

God damn, Tex. Don't they have some place where you can just ask? Like putting in a request for leave or something?

>[Nope]
>[It likes to tell us what we're doing wrong by punishing first]
>[If so nobody's found it]
>[Good idea]

>[If so nobody's found it]

As far as I know, if there's a help desk? Nobody's found it. There's always Stacy, but there's some stuff she won't say. Or she could just change her mind, probably.

Great. Of course, if there was a simple rules manual, it'd be too easy. And if the system AIs don't know about it, chances are pretty slim that it exists at all.

>[Maybe. I don't have this AI thing all worked out yet]
>[Right. God forbid anything in life is easy]
>[Don't you like the idea of living under a fickle, sentient overlord?]
>[Change the subject]

>[Maybe. I don't have this AI thing all worked out yet]

Maybe. I'm still getting the hang of the whole AI thing. Being in a system's still a little weird.

Yeah, I bet. I wouldn't know where to start.

...You can poke around Delta's stuff, if you want. Don't know if it will help - he was always partnered with me, rather than being in a network - but if it's up there, it's yours to use until we find him again.

>[I'll do that]
>[I'll think about it]
>[That's a little too weird]
>[I'm sure I'll figure it out on my own]

>[I'm sure I'll figure it out on my own]

I'll figure it out on my own. I'm more used to being in somebody's head than a system, anyway.

Hey, if you can figure out the best way to complete a mission, I have complete confidence in your ability to figure out what the hell is going on in the meatship system.

Just, you know. Don't accidentally turn off all my hot water or anything.

>[Damn right I can figure it out]
>[No guarantees]
>[There is no hot water]
>[What if I do it deliberately?]

>[What if I do it deliberately?]

What if I do it on purpose? I bet there's some way to mess with the sensoriums...

Depends. Are you shutting off my hot water, or everyone's hot water?

>[Yours]
>[Everyone's]
>[Only to people who annoy me, aka Grif]
>[Wouldn't you like to know?]

>[Yours]

Since you said 'my hot water'? Yours.

Aw, crap. [He sighs.] Guess I'd know who to blame if that happens. Just because you can't hit us doesn't mean you can't find other ways to make our lives miserable.

>[That's right]
>[I won't do it if....]
>It could just be a mechanical issue and coincidental]
>[Cold water's the least you have to worry about]

>[That's right]

Right. If I don't have real hands, I'm gonna get creative.

Just don't get too creative or the ship's going to crash.

>[Stacy would stop me]
>[The other AIs would stop me]
>[I'm not that stupid]
>[It would be a nice change]

>[Stacy would stop me]

Trust me, if I did? Stacy would step in.

That's probably a good thing. Mess with the creature comforts, but you don't really have to worry about doing any permanent damage.

>[Says you]
>[I'll take what I can get]
>[Permanent damage is the only kind that counts]
>[Change the subject]

>[I'll take what I can get]

I'll take what I can get. It's not like a get a lot of opportunities to do things outside the mainframe.

Damn. That blows, Tex. You could be way more useful out in the field.

>[Tell me about it]
>[I'll just have to hitch a ride with you out into the field]
>[I can do some cool things from here]
>[I could always try to get on Stacy's good side]

>[I'll just have to hitch a ride with you out into the field]

Guess I'll be hitching a ride with you into the field, if I can. You or Grif, anyway-Doc's here, but I'd kinda like to hitch a ride with somebody who actually knows what his gun is for.

Definitely me, then.

...Good. Hell, I'm too used to having an AI in battle now anyway. I'd probably be shit without you or D for the first few minutes anyway.

>[That's right]
>[Keep in mind I'm still not sure how to work everything]
>[Grif's not too bad]
>[You wouldn't be shit compared to some of the people here]
