All work and no play...

There is an AI on the ship that goes by the name Bender Stack. It only pops up now and again, and now its function may finally be somewhat clear.

"Hey. Hey meatbag!" says a grating voice.

Bender Stack chases people away from work when they've been doing too much of it.

This is why Brainiac 5 leaves the Special Weapons Division and by the time he gets up to the Living Area (having decided to eat anyway if the irritating AI is going to heckle him out of work) he's about at his wit's end.

"--For the last time, I am not going to build you a robot prostitute! You're an AI, not a mechanoid, you couldn't interface with it anyway."

"Others do find Coluan social practices unnerving, even in my own time. Winathians, Carggites, Earthlings, Braalians--all of them share similar attitudes regarding mating and marriage practices. Mind you, for Carggites there is a rather complex set of rules for social etiquette during mating rituals, but it's almost necessary given that six entities are technically involved."

Brenda laughs. "Six? Oh my god that sounds like a square dance, not sex."

"Carggites can split into three separate, autonomous beings each."

"Jeez, my life would be so much easier if I could be in three places at once."
