monday - thursday (21) survivors Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

[She interrupts between screws to make sure they're good, ever conscientious, but otherwise listens intently, utterly fascinated.]

That's really cool. [Eloquent as always.] I...yeah, I guess you'd need a lot of robots to...save the moon. Huh. Wow. [That is some straight up sci-fi movie shit is what it is, and it's not that she disbelieves it (look at all of the everything happening around here, does she have any right) but she's kind of confused.]

I met a robot once. She was pretty cool. [Here's her trying to converse about something she is so totally clueless about.] But I guess you don't really think about the nitty-gritty building part of all of it. [She prods at the screw she's working on with the screwdriver.] 'specially not down to the real basic parts.

[Tired as she is, this is actually the chattiest she's been in a while—it's easier when there's a distraction, when she has something to do and a way to be helpful and no trying to step around what an emotional time bomb she is, and no reason to set her off, either.]

[ He grins at her her praise, since, well. Jack is a simple guy when it comes to some things, and in the face of praise, he'll absolutely drink it up. It may not be the most eloquent, but it seems to be something he takes to heart all the same. ]

So many robots, on account of, uh. Well, on account of the psychopathic general that'd kinda killed everyone in Helios, but. That is definitely getting into the "the time I saved Elpis from a giant death laser" story, and, y'know, long story.

[ But he definitely wants to tell it. Jack is definitely setting this up for Clover to ask him about it. After all, it's his favorite subject! Himself! Being a hero! But, he'll still let her decide, since he'll tackle the rest of the conversation here first. ]

Yeah, it's super crazy once you start to really get into it. I used to build robots when I was a kid-- Kinda how I got into engineering and programming at all. But all the details, how everything has to be perfect, and of course, how to make a robot have a personality... That's all hard stuff. I love it. But it's also a huge compliment to whoever made that robot for you to say that, y'know? If you think they're cool and you're not thinking about the building part, then it's damn good engineering.
