[After his CES adventure, Rex is looking a little disheveled, but largely fine, save for some scrapes. WAR WOUNDS.]

Attention, mentally unstable women of the Barge...

[Hey, it's been a long time since Rex shrieked at y'all, right?]

STOP KIDNAPPING ME!

[He flings his arms up.]

Seriously! What is it about me that screams "kidnap me

Resorting to kidnapping...how vulgar.

[Judging other people's life choices is like sympathy right?]

[stopthat_destro]

Agreed. You'd think they'd learn that it accomplishes nothing here.

[Rex LOVES a good judge-fest.]

[no_fastolfe]

Nothing but to prove them unstable and dangerous. I hope the harm isn't too serious?

[stopthat_destro]

The only thing harmed was my ego. Everything else is intact. Honestly, at this point, I'm used to it. It's more of a... nuisance than anything else.

[She makes an angry little noise] This place is so degrading at times. Our protections are laughable.

[stopthat_destro]

They really are. Those of us who are technologically capable aren't allowed our own devices for protection, but those with special abilities or altered physiology keep their perks over the rest of us.

[She scoffs] If I were allowed to build a robot it would be incapable of harming anyone outside of very real self defense. But no, how much worse that is than the tyranny of physical strength.

[stopthat_destro]

Engineering, robotics, they're beyond what many here understand, so they fear it. Physical strength is simple. [HMPH.] Luddites.

[no_fastolfe]

Earthers.

[Pause] Present company of course excepted..
