[He definitely sounds like he just woke up. It's early and he's already exhausted.] Look, I have some multivitamins. Not anything good but for the doctors- I don't know who you are, but if you want them, I'll give them to you. You'd know what to do with them better than I would.

I just...[A long, long pause.] I'll be fine. I know some people might not be, so they need them.

Just tell me where to bring them.

Comments

[notafraidofyou]

Yeah.

So tell me more about space?

[Maybe distraction will help.]

[ourlastbesthope]

That's...broad. What do you want to know?

[notafraidofyou]

Got any good stories? From between the boring parts.

[ourlastbesthope]

I once got into a fight with the ship.

Not once. Maybe three or four times.

The lanyards we wear are...well, they're connected to the ship's AI. And she responds when we ask. I asked her to calculate something for me and I was sure she was incorrect. I think I argued with her for an hour before they sent me to the Earth room- basically a time out.

[A laugh.]

I don't know if that's good or not.

[notafraidofyou]

[Good or not, it actually gets Tim to laugh, despite their situation. Because he can totally see Capa arguing with a computer until someone puts him in time out.]

So, was she right, or were you right?

[ourlastbesthope]

I was, of course.

[No he wasn't.]

[notafraidofyou]

Heh. That's not usually what happens when I argue with computers.

[ourlastbesthope]

Do your computers argue back?

[notafraidofyou]

Not mine. I just have a PC that keeps on being right no matter how much I mutter at it. But there are some more advanced computers and AIs out there that would probably argue back.
