Hello! Uh... Don't mean to bother, but have any of you seen another robot like me around here? Not just like me, of course. He'd be going on and on about space all the time. Hard to miss him.

[Only because he's been wondering where the little space-obsessed sphere went. Not that he misses him or anything!]

[idiot_sphere]

You what?

[... Space Core wasn't that sensitive, was he?]

Was that all you said? You didn't tell him that space didn't exist or something like that, did you?

[idiot_sphere]

[... Stares silently for a minute, slightly creeped out.]

Well... Yeah. That's what he does. He was designed to always talk about it. Now that I think of it, I've no idea why.

[smokesinspace]

Not that I know of. You're the only robot I've seen so far.

[ voice ]

[idiot_sphere]

He was with me when I got here. We were separated. I heard from him a few times, but not in a long while. Can't help but wonder where he went.

[ voice ]

[smokesinspace]

If his name isn't on the list, then he's gone home.

[idiot_sphere]

What list? There's a list? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?

[justicestriumph]

What's a..."robot"?

[idiot_sphere]

... You've got to be kidding me. [His voice is totally deadpan.]

[justicestriumph]

[She noticed your tome of voice but ignored it.]

I don't know what a "robot" is. Could you explain?

[idiot_sphere]

[He shook his 'head' lightly. She wasn't the first who'd been confused by what he was, but she was the first person ever to sound like she didn't even know what the word 'robot' even meant.]

Just look at me. I'm a robot. As I said, he looks exactly like me. Have you seen him?

[The mention of 'space' captures her attention, along with the comment about a robot. Maybe this was someone from home?]

I haven't seen a robot. Did both of you live in space before you came here?

[voice]

[idiot_sphere]

Unfortunately for me, yes. I suppose you could say that.

[voice]

[sfgirlfriday]

You aren't fond of being out in the black?

[idiot_sphere]

N-No. No, I'm really not. Yeah, it's nice to look at for about five minutes, and then you're stuck there, floating around, with no help and only your thoughts and a constantly babbling space fanatic to keep you company.

[mudbloodhater]

...you're kidding, right?

[idiot_sphere]

Not in the slightest. Why? Is this funny to you, somehow?

[mudbloodhater]

A little bit.

A robot. Whatever that is.

[idiot_sphere]

Me. I'm a robot. You've never seen a robot before?
