[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.

Just because he's a machine doesn't mean he's not sentient, and therefore capable of choice and self-determination, including the ability to change and to make moral choices. Thus, he would be capable of redemption.

Perhaps. But these sorts of things have the terrible habit of developing beyond their design parameters.

I mean that when you design something with the capacity for advanced thought, you run the risk of them thinking things you didn't plan for them too.

Undoubtedly. Otherwise he would need a programming engineer, not a rehabilitation cruise.
