If you really think about bodies they're a lot like machines. Actually, bodies are machines, but they're just squishy, bleedy machines with a skin and a soft bag of snot, blood and organs inside!

You're not...planning on experimenting on passengers, are you?

Even with their consent...that isn't right.

Do you want to experiment with me?

I would give you information which is part of a disclosure agreement beforehand which would mean that it would be an ethical experiment!

How many spines do you have?

[thisis_not_good]

I'm sorry.

[screwyoubob]

... you don't have a spine?

[thisis_not_good]

[screwyoubob]

It won't hurt! I promise! Pleeeeeeeease?

Heeey...

I've got a question for you. Do crew members have the lock commands to all the rooms on the ship?

[screwyoubob]

Huh? Why do you wanna know?

[thisis_not_good]

I'm just curious.

Is it not something you're allowed to 'repeat'?

[screwyoubob]

Uhm, crew can go nearly everywhere.
