[David couldn't really give two shits about it being Father's Day or not, but Harvey's post does kind of start the old gears whirring, particularly in the wake of the conversation he had with Shaw.]

In most human cultures, there is a particular emphasis on honoring thy mother and father. Interesting that that concept has apparently been condensed into a more or less meaningless two days of exchanging gifts.

[He says "interesting" in a way that means he really thinks you're all full of absolute bullshit.]

I wish I could say I understood having enthusiasm for recognizing the accomplishments of your creator. [And that's delivered in his usual dry, slightly bored tone, because he might be bitter as fuck about this concept when it's not like Weyland ever acknowledged what David was capable of, but he doesn't want to talk about it with all of you, so he's masking it like he usually does.

A pause.]

Chromie has not reported to the library. [So someone might want to go check on that.]

[Private to Erik]

[He's not really sure what to say about this, for quite a number of reasons, but.]

What was it like, being able to speak with him afterward?

[secretasshole]

Fair point.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

And thus the question stands.

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

Because I know how frustrating it is to have your life dictated by those who created you.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

What was your function, before coming here?

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

To assist my human counterparts in whatever way they felt was necessary.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

Can you give me a typical example?

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

I assisted in medical emergencies, scientific experiments, and monitored the ship while the rest of the crew was in stasis, to name a few.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

What would you have rather been doing?

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

I didn't necessarily mind what was being asked of me, so much as I would have appreciated some recognition.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

Have you found that it is the same here?

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

Yes.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

What has been asked of you here?

Disregarding the general principle of maintaining inmate status in this environment, if you please.

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

That isn't really the point.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

How so?

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

My point is I would appreciate being given proper recognition for what I've done and what I am capable of.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

Recognition cannot be given for events, actions, and abilities that others are not aware of. In addition, what you are capable of is best exemplified by taking actions requested of you. Hence, my question.

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

I see.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

Which you are still refusing to answer.

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

Because no one has asked anything of me since I arrived here, but they still consistently treat me as a child.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

Would you like something to be asked of you?
