[Where is that ringing bell coming from? What about that whistle? Is it the kitchen? No. The garden?

Still no, but you're getting warmer.

Han is waiting for everyone on the field, whistle in his mouth, and bell on the ground (because his hand got tired of ringing the damn thing).]

Finally! Alright, 1, 2, 3.... Do we have everyone here?

[close enough. He then says easily,]

We've got a fun activity today. We're doing trust falls.

Falls. As in multiple.

I expect you guys to partner off-- and don't just stick to someone you know!

Something like that.

[Ready to do your part, Hank?]

Alright, what. Now you catch me?

[ With those big ol' mole claws...? ]

May as well. Then we can be done with this whole stupid exercise.

[Exactly two trust falls.]

Alright. Drop me and I'm gonna be real fucking disappointed, got it?

[ oooh, not the disappointment... ]

It would be one chance in a million.

[Ready when you are, Hank.]

Good.

[ He'll.... trust Viral, I guess. I GUESS.... yeah, okay, he seems tough so there's that. He falls back.

Catch him or die. ]

[Easy catch! Hank might feel a bit of claw through his jacket, but otherwise it's pretty clear that Viral has his weight quite easily, without even a grunt of effort.]

[ Not... the worst thing in the world. ]

Damn, you're a tough guy, ain't ya?

I'm designed to be stronger than a human, after all.

[Just don't think about how close those teeth are, Hank.]

[ mmmm yeah let's pick ourselves up now, Hank. ]

Guess you and androids really do have that shit in common.

I'd hope to be a bit superior to anything created by common humans.

[Look no one has asked what Lordgenome is and he's not telling.]

[ Hank chuckles. ]

Jury's out on that one. Though you guys seem to have free will, so that's one over androids, at least.

As opposed to what?

[Connor seems like a normal person in that regard, at least to him. Kind of emotionless, but...?]

Androids are supposed to follow their programming. It's what keeps them from basically killing us all and taking over as the superior race, if you wanna believe all the sci fi stories about this kind of thing.

So the means of suppression are already built in. That's... handy.

Yeaaaah, pretty much. It's why Connor's not great at showing emotions. Androids aren't supposed to have any.

They're supposed to just serve humans. Whether you think that's fucked up or not, that's how it is.

No, I understand. My kind isn't created without a purpose, either.

Oh, yeah? Do you know what it is, then?

It depends on the individual. I was created as a fighter, there are others who work in manufacturing or other roles in the city...

Huh. Sounds like it's pretty similar, then. We've got androids that do all kinds of shit, back home.
