[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?

If I understand properly, the motivation to celebrate the accomplishments of the creator is a proxy attempt to share in them; after all, anyone doing so is also an accomplishment of said creator.

[Now if only Weyland actually did that, things might have turned out differently. Fuck you, Dad. C:]

I do not particularly feel this way. What my creators accomplished is not something I have any interest in being a part of.
Including my own creation, if one were to follow it to its logical conclusion, though I am much more comfortable now than I have been for a long time.

It's no way to treat a sentient being, and we were never given the choice. I was never given the choice.
