[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.

I stuck true to my dad instead of bending over backwards to help a bunch of assholes.

[secretasshole]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[mistconduct]

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed about it, honestly.

Why's David here?

[secretasshole]

I don't know. [She's starting to have her suspicions, but. Nothing concrete, and honestly, it seems like Weyland's more to blame than anyone else, now that she knows what he really wanted from this mission.]

[mistconduct]

Yeah. I mean, if he's here it's either because someone fucked up or he's capable of morality, right? Otherwise, fuck, put his programmers here instead. You can't have an evil chair, is what I'm saying.

[secretasshole]

[Okay, that gets a small smile out of her, even though GOD DAMN, DAVID, WHAT ARE YOU.] Good point.

[mistconduct]

Thanks.

I don't even fucking know why this is rubbing me the wrong way, but. Fuck, he's just. I don't know, we don't have robots that real where I'm from.

[secretasshole]

He's the most recent model Weyland Industries has produced, and he's definitely the most lifelike, but we've had them for a while, now. They just aren't very common as far as public use goes.

[mistconduct]

What's he supposed to do? Like...fly ships and go into war and shit?

[secretasshole]

No. He monitored the ship while we were in cryostasis, learned several ancient languages, and assists as an extra hand in dealing with scientific and medical situations. He's also apparently a decent bartender.

[mistconduct]

Can he drink?


Dude. If he can drink, he's a goddamn android. He would be amazing at drinking contests.

[secretasshole]

I don't think so, no.

[mistconduct]

Fuck.

Well, I guess the ancient language thing is cool too.

[secretasshole]

I suppose so, yes.

[mistconduct]

So..you like David? He's cool and everything?

[secretasshole]

[She might have said yes a few days ago, or at least that she didn't not like him. But things had changed, and she wasn't sure how she felt about him and his role in what had happened.] He can be very unsettling.

[mistconduct]

Not really like you can help settle it though, right?

[secretasshole]

What do you mean?

[mistconduct]

He is who he is. You don't even know if he knows how to unsettle. Or fuck, maybe he gets off on it, I don't know.

Point is, he's here now and he's David. So that's something to...I don't know, admire.

[secretasshole]

You're welcome to that opinion.

[mistconduct]

But you think it's wrong.
