I guess so. I'm still figuring that out. I was... employed. Not that they were paying me. Now I'm just a hobbyist. I don't know. I don't know what it's all for. Maybe it doesn't have to be for anything.
what's it all for? a . . . compendium? a bestiary?
Yes, there's a *lot* of work to do. Every planet has an entire ecosystem to learn. I will *never* run out of subjects to study.

There are the memories you have to think about and the ones that get incorporated into who you are, right? In that aspect we're the same.

We're here! I promised you cake, I will deliver you cake. Reviews say the pistachio cake is to die for. Maybe they had a nut allergy?
not really. human brains are kinda bad for memory. but i remember all the vpd instruction manual, song lyrics, shopping lists, um . . . what was on all the cereal boxes when i was a kid, all my friends' hobbies, stuff like that. y'know, the important stuff!
It's pretty much all been debunked anyway.

What *is* your favorite cake?

Do you remember every time you've ever had cake?

*sounds* complex, that's for sure. hmmm, what's my favorite cake . . .
Some old Greek guy. But another old guy came up with the complex part. But this is human psychology and I'm no expert there. Your minds are as confusing to me as anything can be.

Anyway Freud, the other old guy, came up with this theory called an Oedipus complex, which is when...

You know this is

Mega fauna. Big-toothed growly monsters?

It's nice of you to think of her. She must be very important to you, you called *me* mom.

Do you know what an Oedipus complex is?

what are you researching?
Are you offering cash?

Joking. There's not much more to it. Research station, laboratory, recreation room, cockpit, storage.
January 20, 2026 at 3:12 AM

aw, you're sweet. i get what you mean!
No! But I can appreciate feeding a living thing.

Sounds kinda condescending! I mean I can enjoy the *social aspect* of dinner. Or birthday parties.

Right now it's all for me. I'm a very lucky girl.

i think i understand. are there others like you or is this all just for you?
It's a bit like two tidal waves crashing into each other, but instead of waves imagine jigsaw pieces slotting together. Data streams both ways, firewalls collide.

i've only been attacked by *some* synths on the beat.
Thank you! I *am* a nice lady. No matter what the yautja says.

Cake first, life story second?

Thanks! It only tickles.

A cop! Close enough. They send cops around the galaxy now?
