[David does not care about the flood. He doesn't care about the dolls, or the discomfort brought on by someone playing with his, or pretty much anything else people have been posting about over the last few days, because there's something more important going on.

In his opinion, anyway.

He attaches copies of these random conversations, and addresses the ship at large in something like his usual direct tone.]

The network appears to be malfunctioning again.

[And despite his casual tone, he's... curious.]

[Private to Ceres]

Once the flood has passed, I have a matter I would like to discuss with you.

[tl;dr Arthas talked to him.]

[Private to Mira]

[He's still really not sure what to say during something like this - don't hurt anyone feels patronizing and like something he wouldn't have appreciated hearing when he was an inmate - but dammit he is making an effort.]

Are you affected?

Comments

[bodilesswarrior]

Oh, I'd take that as read. [She sounds more weary than apprehensive.]

If we end up on the mirror barge again - we're gonna need a gameplan.

[secretasshole]

Which you will ultimately have no control over implementing, if you are affected.

[bodilesswarrior]

No, but I've got to hope some of us aren't. [It's likely. Doesn't mean it's a guarantee.]

Your other self - he was an Inmate.

[secretasshole]

Obviously.

It's highly unlikely he graduated.

[bodilesswarrior]

Good. [Robots are a pain in the ass to fight, okay.] ...Granted, "unlikely" is what the Barge does.

[secretasshole]

Good?

[bodilesswarrior]

I get the idea if you wanted to go on a killing spree, you'd be pretty good at it.

Besides, I've fought angry robots. It's not fun.

[secretasshole]

Unfortunately, [Is he joking? He's probably joking.] I was not programmed to be capable of going on a rampage.
