Starr shrugged and looked out the window again. "I don't know. I just want things to be normal."

"I put sign, ship make sure nobody disturb. He probably be fine, annoying people not on ship now." Mourn nodded.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Scott sighed. "Okay. Thanks, Mourn." He looked at Daniel, then back at the felid. "I guess I should ask since I'm here, are you happy with your purchases?"
Asher flinched slightly. Purchases, ew.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Mourn stared at Scott, tilting his head. "Like robots." He told him matter of factly. "Why you care? you got money. No refund"

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
"I'm curious," Scott said. "Nobody's ever bought five androids at once from me, so it's a novel experience." He smiled softly, "I don't want a refund, I like the money."

"Good, then all good." Mourn nodded. "We got big ship, lots of space, lots to do."

Just in case you missed this post, Starr:)
Sawna smiled a little then shook her head "It is quite interesting so far. Between the war, everyone going every which way and the plans for the future, I rather like it here." She answered then started looking for the books when they reached the room

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Scott smiled a bit. "There's certainly room for a handful of androids on a ship like this. I'm sure they'll serve you well."
Asher did his best to hide a wince. "Shall we escort you to the ramp? We'll send you a message when Daniel's ready to boot up again."
Scott looked uncertain. He didn't really want to leave Daniel, plus he had so many questions about what was going on on this ship. But since Daniel was here, he really couldn't afford to make enemies of this crew. "All right. Thank you," he said.
Asher smiled brightly and wheeled to get the door for Scott, and for Mourn if he was coming along.
~~
(Happy Thanksgiving!)
Ethan smiled oddly. "It's definitely not boring here. There's always something that needs to be done, and someone who needs to do it." He dragged a couch away from the wall to look behind it suspiciously. "What did you do in the other universe, anyway? Before the slavers caught you, I mean."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Sawna smiled and went over to look on the shelves to see if any library books were there. She pulled a few down to give to him. "I used to explore, much as I do here. I never really had any set place to go or anything to do. Just a little of one thing then on to something new to do that for a while.I always knew there had to be more out there than just what we knew."

Ethan smiled awkwardly as Sawna gave him the books she'd found. "Thanks. What sort of things did you see while you traveled?" He checked under the couch cushions next.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Mourn looked back at the android and the readouts, dug through his pockets and found a piece of battered cardboard and a chewed pen which he wrote "Do not disturb, reboot in process." on. He placed that onto the laptop and looked up at Vestia's camera. "No let anyone in yes? Only me."
Then he'd follow Asher and Scott.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
---If they try to trespass, I'll scare them off--- Vestia said, saying the same thing out loud for Scott's benefit.
Asher looked amused. "He's safe here. These people don't harm androids." He pulled the door closed after Mourn and Scott came out, and headed down the hall. The sooner Scott was off this ship, the better.
Scott followed along, looking around curiously. "One does have to wonder how an android would get his lower signal relay damaged on a ship where androids are so safe."
"Well I wasn't on the ship at the time," Asher said.
"Anti-robot gang?" Scott asked.
Asher looked pained. Scott was way too nosy. "Not an organized one. I prefer not to talk about it." It wasn't a lie, it was just a bit of a misleading explanation.
Scott nodded and thankfully let the subject drop. "As long as Daniel's safe, that's what matters."
~~
Ethan nodded. "I'm surprised the slavers didn't catch you sooner, your species isn't exactly inconspicuous with your eating habits."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Mourn patted the wall "Good ship." He wasn't really following Asher and Scott's conversation, busy thinking about other things and no longer looking at either of them.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Vestia "blushed" pink at Mourn's praise. What? She was fond of her slightly crazy engineer genius.
Scott looked quizzically up at the pinkish lights.
"Mourn's deaf, so he and Vestia have their own means of communication," Asher explained.
Scott looked amused. "I see."
They reached the ramp.
"See you in two days!" Asher said. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, he thought.
Scott headed off the ship reluctantly.
Asher waited for him to be out of earshot, then looked to Mourn. "I have something I want to ask you."

Sawna chuckled softly and shook her head "We are usually not as open as I am here. Usually we keep our eating habits hidden and eat in private. I have eaten better here than I have in my life." She told Ethan with a shrug.

Mourn glanced over at Asher, only catching the end of that. "What?"

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
"How did you manage to feed yourself? It seems like eating blood would be really hard to conceal, especially if you're on a small ship for weeks at a time," Ethan asked. He led the way to another room to look around for more books.
~~
Asher led Mourn away from the airlock, further into the ship. He really didn't want to be overheard. "You're not planning to free Daniel, are you?" he asked.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Mourn tilted his head. "He no ask. " Actually that hadn't even occurred to him, huh.. see NOW he wanted to. But he shook his head. "No sure about boss man, he maybe blab. No can have blabbing. No want robot hurt." He shrugged. He hadn't freed the two androids who'd asked not to be either, he COULD force them sure, but that would go against his principles. He stared at Asher. "I no stupid, know risk, know problem. I no want recall either. Like robots, want help, but right now only safe on ship. Can keep safe on ship."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Asher smiled slightly. "I just wanted to be sure. Daniel wanted to stay with Scott, and I think Scott is definitely perceptive enough to pick up on his own android being free." He sighed. "Much though I hate to leave any android bound by the Three Laws, it definitely wouldn't be safe to free Daniel. Scott is just too smart, and he already suspects something odd is going on here. I'm glad we're on the same page on this."

Mourn nodded and patted Asher on the shoulder. "No worry robot, I no ruin plans. " Well, he'd try not to.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
"I know you won't. I just worry too much," Asher said. He smiled again. "It'll be interesting to see how much storage your idea frees up for Daniel. If it works, this could be another huge step forward in android science."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Mourn nodded. "Could give you longer lives, live as long as terrans maybe. Be good. " He made a face. "Why they no improve life span? Money? Seem silly, why buy new android when could just reset old one? got to start again either way. " He shook his head. "Terrans dumb."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
"Probably to encourage people to buy newer androids. If you have to reset your android anyway, you might as well upgrade to the newest model while you're at it. Not to mention, like we noticed, there isn't really much room to add more storage." Asher sighed, "I wonder how much storage Daniel will be able to get back. If he could get even another decade or two, that would be wonderful." Androids looked and acted so much like Terrans, it seemed wrong for them to have so much shorter lives.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
Mourn nodded. "We see, all depend on how much he delete. More memory you lose, more space you free. If work, could be done whenever storage get low. " He looked around. "I go work on program change how memory stored now, if can get that running, buy even more time yes?"

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
"Yes, being able to automatically delete memories and reuse old space would help a lot," Asher said. He smiled at Mourn again. "Thank you for everything you're doing."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Five
"Yes we will," Asher agreed. "Things are going to be much better once we're done." They'd get worse first, but ultimately things were going to improve. Probably.
