[The feed clicks on to show a shot of the ceiling in David's cabin before it's picked up, moved and adjusted until you get a good view of a red headed woman, who looks pretty worn out. She's better than she was yesterday, at least, given she spent most of it sleeping off an emergency C-Section, but it's pretty apparent that she's been through some stuff and probably needs a shower. She swallows and lets out a slow breath before saying anything.] My name is Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, and I've been told that I'm here for David. [Which was just. Fucking weird, and there are a lot of things she wants to ask about the ship and the Admiral, but the first one she ends up blurting out is a fairly simple one.] Can anyone tell me what he's doing here? I know what this place is supposed to be for, [Because she's looked around the network a little.] but I don't understand why he'd be brought here. [Because even if David was a very human robot, and was pretty fucking creepy, she doesn't know the full extent of how creepy he is yet, and so she's not sure why he'd be here as an inmate, and definitely not why he'd choose to be a warden. She pauses again, lifting a shaking hand to rub at her forehead slightly.] And if someone could direct me to whatever infirmary you have on board, I would appreciate it.

[ Stein speaks in an almost bored drawl. He sits backwards in a chair, arms folded under his chin and communicator propped on the table in front of him. ]

The infirmary is on level two, Dr. Shaw. I'm afraid I can't answer any of your other questions.

[secretasshole]

Thank you. You're only here temporarily?

[screwedinthehead]

Just a few days, same as you. But I'm happy to help however I can in the mean time.

[secretasshole]

Thank you.

[mistconduct]

Fuck. So not even the people from his world know.

This is such bullshit.

[secretasshole]

Know what?

[mistconduct]

Why David's here. He's a fucking android, if anyone's being held accountable for independent action it should be his goddamn programmers.

[secretasshole]

What did he do?

[Razer's been maintaining a mostly low profile until now. Not wishing to cause Aya any more grief than necessary. But there was something about this woman's condition...and the name she mentioned...if his research was correct, this "David" was also an Artificial Intelligence. One whom she had taken the place of.]

[In addition to that, Aya had been a part of the volunteer medical staff. She would have been able to help, had Razer not taken her place.]

[He felt compelled to do something.]

Forgive my bluntness, but you appear to be in no condition to move on your own.

If you are willing to send the coordinates of your location, I can come retrieve you myself.

[Shaw looks a little started, because Razer you're... pretty different looking, from the type of people she's used to, but considering what she just went through and the fact that she really could do with some more painkillers, she's willing to put that aside for now.] I'm alright, I really just need something to help with the pain. I'm on the sixth floor, room eight.

[He is on the move as he speaks, only two floors away from his destination.]

Unfortunately, I am unauthorized to administer or prescribe medication of anytime. If you are truly in need, however, I see no reason why those who are will not give you some.

What is your current status? [He wants to know what to expect when he arrives. If he should take a particular care when moving her.]

[secretasshole]

[Man, she really doesn't want to get into the details, here, because the memories of what happened are still pretty fresh and horrifying, so she swallows again, composing herself before she tries to answer.] The wound's been stapled shut, and I'm not bleeding, it's just painful.

[timesbureaucrat]

Pardon me, did you say you're here for David? The AI, David?

[Narvin has figured out the pattern of this flood by now, and he did not expect David to be affected.]

[secretasshole]

[Surprise. C:] Yes. I guess that means you know him?

[timesbureaucrat]

I do.

He's never said why he's here, though. Not to me, in any case. But it wouldn't be the first time we've had inmates whose problematic element was well hidden.

When he's assigned a warden, his file will elucidate.

[secretasshole]

[She maybe is starting to have her suspicions, but. David being a massive creep didn't mean he was a monster. Right? :|] He's a machine. I'm not exactly sure how he'd be capable of redemption, even if he needs it.

[wecanavenge]

[Well this is interesting (even though there's a little part of him that's going SHAW >( when he hears it).]

Are you one of his creators?

[secretasshole]

[Wait. Wait what, who are you. :|] ... No. He was the android assigned to the research vessel I was working on. Who [What. :V] are you?

[wecanavenge]

[Some joke of the universe apparently B(]

My name is Erik Lensherr. What were you researching?

i'm so late to this i'm sorry B(

[tolaywaste]

[Oh. David, ew. Anything related to David, ugh.]

Did you ever find the infirmary?

nw bb <3

[secretasshole]

Yes. I'm alright.

[tolaywaste]

Good.

I'm Alex. I, uh, know David. [He guesses B(]

[burnmythoughts]

Some people are just here to find the best path for themselves.

Did you find the infirmary okay?

[secretasshole]

Yes, thank you. And I know that's the point, but he's a robot. He's not really capable of this sort of thing.

[burnmythoughts]

[Jean frowns, a little.] I think you're underestimating him.
