Ah, hello.

...I never really know how to start these off. It's odd talking to a little box and then waiting for someone to respond. Would probably be less weird if it were like a cell phone, but...

Uhm, anyways, I want to make an offer. To those of you who've lost your mates. And maybe as something of a security for those of you worried you may lose

You can do that? Track people?

[trusttheplastic]

Yeah... It's... I don't use it a lot. It's not natural.

[lilyground]

So what if it's not natural? That's amazing!

[trusttheplastic]

...you think so? [Rory just thinks it makes him weird.]

[lilyground]

Totally! I don't know anybody that can do that. Well, I mean, I do now.

[trusttheplastic]

Heh, well... [He may be smiling now, a little humbled at thinking he actually has something someone thinks is really cool. A kid, at that. Because kids never think nurses are cool. But apparently robots are, so...] I also have super hearing!

[lilyground]

[Dude. You are so cool. What is wrong with you.]

That's awesome. So you can hear things from really far away? Like birds and stuff?

[trusttheplastic]

Yeah! And--and pretty much everything else. For miles, too. [If he wanted, he could eavesdrop on every conversation in Vertiline, but he... doesn't really want to.] If you turned off your communicator, I could probably still hear you. Sort of... neat, right?

[lilyground]

So neat. I can't even say how neat that is. Do you know why? Why you can hear and track and stuff?

[trusttheplastic]

Ah, well... yeah. I'm sort of a... robot. Pretty much. Basically.

[lilyground]

You're a robot. Like, electronic and metal and stuff?
