RATATOSKR

You are on a spaceship.

Most of your time will be spent on the bridge, which is exactly as fancy as you’d expect it to be — it looks a little like this. (The chairs are super comfortable!) Your brand new artificial intelligence — which, if you investigate, you’ll find is housed in a small computer chip — has been implanted into the computer terminal on the back wall. The diagnostics readout displayed along the bottom of the screen tells you that the AI has only been outfitted with the most basic of Stability Cores, and is currently Critically Unstable.

[ SHUDDER. ]

Alright, time to change the subject. Talk to the police, or the military. AI torture is against human morality, so they should be rightfully pissed.

Aren't the military the one whose doing the AI research? They are the ones who made you and I mean you're awesome, but sometimes people are nice to some people and not others, you gotta judge people when you meet 'em kiddo.

They were a separate program. Kind of like a rogue special ops group run by scientists.

Hmmmm, good point.

You know, might be better to make it all public. Let EVERYONE know 'bout your bros, kiddo, so everyone is fighting to help 'em.

I'm just worried that Iota lied about it to the Cats to lead us off track.

Probs not. P big thing to lie 'bout, ain't it?

Why lie? Also good question, why would she lie, no real advantage to it 'cept chaos.

To mess with Wash is my guess. Or chaos, sure. [ gggggggggrah. ] It's too weak to go on, though. Just... be wary.

Usually Echoes don't single out one person on a team 'less they're really spiteful and Iota seems kind of more chill than that.

But he cloud be right, we will observe and make judgement calls.

But info mongering we can do! Hacker and computer, best hacking. Get evidence from the data banks, release to to all the presses, big scandal, lotsa trouble.

[ A nod. ]

Sol's off to look for cannons in the ship, but I'm thinking we borrow some real firepower from someone, since I don't think he's gonna find it.

Ooooh, good idea.

Could definitely hit a few key labs or somethin'.

Alright, cool. [ He's eyeing the chair sadly. ] I wish we at least had a few more choices. I could go for some food. I forgot what it's like to be hungry.

....

[She pulls out a ziplock bag of cookies.]

[She nabs one for herself and tosses the rest to him.]

No, don't ask, don't ask, those aren't memories you want to see hon.

[ ...

stares.

AND THEN SHOVES ONE IN HIS MOUTH. ]

[IT HAS WHITE CHOCOLATE AND CRANBERRIES AND IT IS DELICIOUS BECAUSE JANE RECIPE]

[Your teammate always carries food. A L W A Y S]

[ now he's choking on it a little. ]

God, why is food so good?

Because food is the best, so good, good taste, nice texture, oh fuck yes, you can have all the food with me kid.

Don't choke, don't waste food, v imp.

Y'know, I'm probably at least mentally older than you.

Least sixteen, immortal, good end, could be millennia, also water world fuck your age laws, no, no, don't ask about waterworld, shit made Shades bitter, you dun deserve that, just grew up early, why so mature.

This isn't Twitter, you don't need to shorten your words to fit into 140 characters.

How I talk, Carapacians are mute, watched TV, words were only through IM, lots and lots of IM, Jane said text speak wasn't norm, pointed out blondes did it in movies all the time, Jane said it was a stereotype that wasn't really true, can't stop, too hard, talkings hard, because of the mutes kiddo, neural pathways developed late, wrote first, then verbal, like a second language.

...alright! Seems legit.

'course legit, biology really.
