[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.

[mistconduct]

Did you ask?

[secretasshole]

No.

[mistconduct]

I'll ask for you. Y'know. When he comes back.

[secretasshole]

Thank you. [?] He hasn't said anything about why he's here?

[mistconduct]

Just that he works in the library and he wants to do whatever he wants. Which is pretty inspiring when you're required to follow directives all the time. He called it being in control of his future, for the first time.

[secretasshole]

I guess he must like it here.

[mistconduct]

Can he like stuff? He seemed pretty ambivalent.

[secretasshole]

I don't know. He's a machine.

[mistconduct]

He's more than that, or he wouldn't be here.

[secretasshole]

He's still not human.

[mistconduct]

There is a metric fuckton of people on this ship who aren't human.

[secretasshole]

Are there many other robots?

[mistconduct]

I don't know. I haven't met any others, but it's not like I know more than a fraction of assholes on this boat.

[secretasshole]

How long have you been here?

[mistconduct]

Almost a month now.

[secretasshole]

Has the Admiral made mistakes before? In who he brings here?

[mistconduct]

Dude, I have no fucking idea what the Admiral does or why he does it. He's a drunk asshole.

[secretasshole]

Forgive me for not finding that particularly comforting.

[mistconduct]

My point is that there isn't a straight answer I can give you. But David's all right.

[secretasshole]

I'm sure he is. [She wasn't too worried at all. B(]

[mistconduct]

You're not pissed he left his mission?

[secretasshole]

It doesn't sound like he had much choice.

[mistconduct]

Sounds like that happens a lot with him.

[secretasshole]

He's a robot. He wasn't exactly designed to just do what he wanted.

[mistconduct]

Good thing he gets to screw around and figure out what he wants, then. That's..pretty much the only thing I like about the fucking ship so far.
