I'll say this about this... place.  It certainly knows how to bring the rain.  So to speak.   [Mutters] ... NEST might kill me for that pun.

But, honestly, if they expect me to work... they could leave the electricity on.  I can't exactly pour this... alcohol--that's what it's called right?--without light.

I wouldn't know. I don't have one.

[weaponsparked]

Consider yourself lucky. This is ridiculous.

[ilmeganekko]

Yeah, so I heard.

Are your kids drones too?

[weaponsparked]

... I have spawn?

[ilmeganekko]

If that's what you want to call them. Didn't you see them in any of the pictures?

[weaponsparked]

...

Confession.

I wasn't... paying attention to any of the... pictures.

[ilmeganekko]

Ah... You should. They tell you about who is in your "family" and the fake history you've been given. It's basically a map of who to trust in your unit.

[weaponsparked]

There's a drone mate. That's all I've seen...

I trust Jolt. But... he's not here.

[ilmeganekko]

Ah... that's weird. No pictures of any kids? Haven't seen anyone else wandering around the house? Hmm...

Definitely no drone kids, then. They would have started bothering you right away.

[weaponsparked]

... I haven't exactly looked, all right? And I sort of... haven't... been here that... much.

Ah, so you're a newcomer. [And she says this like she's some sort of sage.]

[ilmeganekko]

Ah...

[and here, she puts on her most annoying kid voice] "Mom! I want more Candy!" "Mommy! They got this new toy out! Get Daddy to buy it for me!" "Ma! Did you wash my shirt yet?"

Stuff like that.

[weaponsparked]

...

Is this seriously what human children act like?

[ilmeganekko]

Just the drone ones here. Real ones aren't as annoying and stupid. [And she's thinking back to her old, non-drone child.]

[weaponsparked]

Great. So... what? I just hope they get replaced soon enough?

[ilmeganekko]

Pretty much. And then you'd have to explain to them what's going on. Unless they've already been here before And from what I've seen, that rarely happens they'll be just as confused as you were when you got here. But after that, you'll be happy you have them instead of drones.
