Break the Ice Part 2

[newhire]

Well that was. [Han...] You all did really well yesterday.

[She didn't participate but of course, she was watching! ...probably on her phone. But today she's here to assist! Which means there's probably some other stupid activity ready to be thrown your way.]

Today we have a different kind of bonding activity for you! The name of today's game is--! Two lies and a truth. Today you're going to test how well you know each other-- and maybe learn a lot more!

[And for those who may not know the rules--]

You're going to give someone a list of two things that are not true about you-- and one that is. And based on what they know about you and their impressions of you, they're going to do their best to find the truth. When it's all done, you'll tell them whether they're right or not and if they got it wrong-- you'll tell them the truth!

Isn't it usually two truths and a lie?

[ androids cant lie (citation needed) this is silly. but here goes: ]

I was killed during my first mission, I can tell when anyone lies to me based on their heartbeat, I was almost shot by a member of the police department I work with.

[sendintheclown]

It better not be the second one, that'd be cheating!

[preconstruction]

There are no rules for the listener, only the communicator.

[sendintheclown]

You're a sneaky one, aren't you?

[preconstruction]

I can't imagine what you mean.

[sendintheclown]

Exploiting a loophole like that! Are you even allowed to?

[preconstruction]

I did play the game correctly, if that's what you mean.

[donotlick]

See, these all sound like truths to me.

[ Hank...... ]

[preconstruction]

Maybe they're all true.

[donotlick]

That would be cheating.

[ And androids can't cheat, can they!!?? ]

Alright, I know it's the gun thing, because I was there. Reed would've put a bullet in your head if I hadn't been there -- that's the one you meant, right?

[preconstruction]

That's correct. This set was too easy for you.

[ hm ]

Do you want another round of options, Lieutenant?

[donotlick]

Little bit, yeah.

[ He was there, so that's probably cheating. ]

Sure, go ahead. Let's see what you've got.

[preconstruction]

I've been to Canada, my software simulates a place like the garden here, I've met Elijah Kamski.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Yeah, kinda threw me off for a second.

[Hm, killing's off the table. So he's gonna assume....]

I think the second one's a good feature for an android that helps the cops, yeah?

[preconstruction]

It would be, wouldn't it? Is that your guess?

[whatsmytalentagain]

Yep.

[preconstruction]

That one is a lie. I can tell humans' stress levels, but I can't constantly hear their heartbeats. And even if I could -- it's a simple task to fool a polygraph.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Oh. Well, you have given me some useful advice.

[Can't trust a lie detector, got it.]

In that case, do you have any actual features that might help a cop solve crimes? I get the feeling that might come in handy here, if robot stuff doesn't count as super powers.

[preconstruction]

Apparently "robot stuff" is its own category.

[ he doesn't pretend to understand the logic. ]

I have several features to assist on crime scenes, although... without a connection to a proper police database, I'm afraid that many of them are less impressive than they would be.

[throwabookatit]

As horrible as it is, it has to be the last one. You couldn't possibly have been killed, or you wouldn't be standing here now.

[preconstruction]

I could have been, but I wasn't. You're right - the truth is the last one.

[throwabookatit]

It's a little reductive to include something that couldn't possibly be true, you know.

[preconstruction]

[ connor shakes his head. ]

Technically speaking it isn't death, but if my body is compromised I will "die" until my memory is uploaded into another body.

[throwabookatit]

R-right. Ah... The whole android thing. That sounds...frightening, actually. Has it ever happened to you before?

[preconstruction]

No, it hasn't.

[ those memories are gonna be a wild time ]
