Newbie Meet n' Greet

[cityship]

For the newbies, there are people waiting for them in the Obs Deck. A whole gaggle of people. Behind them is the nasty statue, and the beautiful sight through the windows of the stars streaming past and the swirling vortex of collars that was interdimensional travel.

There are more questions than answers, but the crew is willing to help, especially the Command Staff and greeters.

"If that is so with the different universes, then maybe you thinking machines have yet to arise and opress. Because in my universe thinking machines were once friends of humanity as well."

And look where that friendship got them - all destroyed and banned from ever being made again.

"Read my vocal processor. We don't want your planet, we have our own. Have had since the All Spark created us back when it was barren and lifeless."

"Of course you wouldn't want my planet, it is just desert." Ghani frowns, though really... Many would love to have Arrakis in their control, but the less the thinking machine knew of her planet the better.

"You are... smaller than I would have expected a thinking machine to be." She suddenly states, eying him suspiciously.

It's very unlikely you'll get Ghani to accept what you are Bee, but it's nice of you to try.

"...I'm pretty sure humans are from Earth. And I'm using like 15 feet tall, but the ship shrank me."

"We use to be, but no longer." She eyes him refusing to go into further details.

"Why? Were you a threat being so large?" Information was always good and could perhaps later be used for her advantage.

"Maybe to the ship...why the heck are you assuming I'm any kind of threat in the first place? I'm a slagging repair bot!"

Ghani just stares at him for a moment. "You are a strange thinking machine," Ghani states, her head tilting a bit to the side. No, she's not going to answer your question Bee.

"Would you quit calling me thinking machine. I have a name. It's Bumblebee"

[withoutspice]

"You are a machine and you think, therefore the name fits," Ghani says stubbornly.

"You're made of meat and you think, therefore I'm gonna start calling you thinking meat. All things considered, you should find it acceptable."
