[Roll's up on the top deck once more, just chillaxing and catching some sun. And trying to calm down since the past few days have not been the greatest for her thank you conversations with Jak and Jinx~.]

I have a question... well okay two questions. [A pause, she taking a sip of something from a can before she continues here.] Why does it seem

I suppose that depends on your definition of "stubborn and ignorant." Depending on the perspective, it can be seen as "determined and well-meaning" or "confident and misunderstood."

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

Doing stuff that is just going to get themselves hurt for no good reason seems pretty stubborn and ignorant to me.

[soldierbee]

What makes a reason good is usually subjective. Maybe it really is bad judgment, but it's not always a good idea to jump to the conclusion that it is. You could end up alienating a lot of people that way.

[kazeyotsutaete]

... [Stop being reasonable, texty person she does not know.]

It's still pointless, in my opinion. [Pout.]

[text]

[soldierbee]

An opinion you are more than entitled to.

Sorry if I came off as a little preachy; I like talking about these sorts of things.

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

Hm.

... it's okay, um... Mister? [She probably needs to hear it, not that she'd admit it.]

[soldierbee]

Bumblebee's all right, no "mister" necessary.

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

Alright Mis-- Bumblebee. [Don't get used to it, she'll be tacking on a Mister sooner or later.]

I'm Roll, it's a pleasure.

[text]

[soldierbee]

Yup, nice to meet you.

Sorry if this seems strange, but you're a robotic being, right? AI?

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

[She doesn't sound surprised or put off by the question, Bumblebee!]

Hm, yep. I am a helper robot of the household kind, why do you ask?

[text]

[soldierbee]

Just curious.

You're from Earth?

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

Ah.

Yes, yes I am.

[text]

[soldierbee]

May I ask what year? The Earth I visited was way too primitive to achieve the successful construction of self-aware AIs with your apparent level of intelligence and complexity.

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

The year?

[Such weird questions, 'Bee.] Ah it was 20XX [pretend that's a real number, fffff capcom.] before I ended up on the boat.

[text]

[soldierbee]

Ohhh...you must be from an alternate Earth, then. That makes sense.

Ha ha, I'm sorry to drill you like this; I was just wondering if something happened back home. You have my apologies.

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

It's okay, Mister Bumblebee. [See?]

They're just questions, it's not like you were making threats or anything like that.
