[This flood is basically David's favorite thing. Well, not really, his favorite thing would still involve never having to speak to quite a lot of you ever again, but this is a chance to show off, and so he is looking absurdly pleased with himself.

Or, you know. He's just smiling a little smugly, but it's not really as threatening or selachian as usual.]

I'm aware that there have been other offers of help, but as I spent two years studying every language native to Earth going back centuries, and am now fluent in several non-Earth languages as well, I would be happy to assist anyone currently experiencing translation issues.

Ich bin mir bewusst, dass es andere Hilfsangebote...

[The full message repeats in German. A shorter version of this message is repeated in every other native language of every single person on the Barge. Because this is basically what David does to entertain himself. His pronunciation is textbook and flawless, and will be responding to you in whatever language you're stuck using thanks to the flood. Or whatever one you want to brush up on.]

[David is once again in his quarters, sitting on the couch in the same room he was in when he did his intro post. He does explore the Barge itself pretty frequently, and can usually be found basically picking up after people and generally trying to find ways to be useful. It's a habit.

He's also a little bit bored.

He smiles politely at the camera.]

It is my understanding that many people here come from a world where artificial intelligence [Which has always kind of seemed like a stupid phrase to him, especially now that there's proof humans are basically just the product of another species' dicking around with a petri dish.] has not been developed yet. For those who are, I would be very interested in hearing what robots in your world are designed to do.

May I ask a question?
