Dog Pound break out

You just mooned the Mayor!

Helix, I had to!

When she saw us waving at her after we stole the truck, her entire head turned red like a beet.

Her whole head is purple now.

Exactly. She was stuck at red. Without my help, she never would have reached the next level!

There's a pun in the sense that the mayor runs after him because he loves Sam to the point of losing his pulse.

Dog Pound break out

Call the police! OTHER POLICE! We got Sam red tentacled! Grand theft auto! We have witnesses!

Hup!

I have a trace on the truck! He's going south… towards our government building. He's… He's parking the truck back in its designated spot.

We left so fast… I didn't fill out the proper forms to use the truck.

Perhaps we can still get him for grand theft auto return?

Hup!

Hup!

Another red-handed catch phrase, only this time it's a red tentacle catch\\. You know about the GTA, don't you?
Not necessarily GTA, maybe just hijacking

Dog Pound break out

One day, I'm going to be a step ahead of that slimy space squid!

Sir! I found this envelope in the grass!

Thank you, Volunteer Mitchell. Now what's in here? Three cigars wrapped in a piece of plastic? Wait. There's writing on the plastic.

“Captain Sam's super secret special order 191.” These are Sam's plans!

Ha! He's going to regret our finding that envelope! After all the trouble he's caused, there's no way he's getting these cigars back.

Special Order 191 – Corporal Barton Mitchell found a parcel of three cigars in the grass. The roll turned out to be a military order from Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee. The find had a major impact on the course of a battle during the American Civil War.

Dog Pound break out

The Mayor's taken the bait!

Those cigars aren't going to explode, are they?

EXPLODE?! YOU CAN MAKE CIGARS EXPLODE?!

I should have kept my big speaker deactivated.

To the ship, Helix! Knowing something can be done is half the battle!

Dog Pound break out

Sam's engineer wants to go to Ecosystems Unlimited. Sam doesn't want her to go. These are his plans to stop her.

Knowing Sam, this could be a trick.

I know how to check! His engineer is that doggy thing. We call it and order it to tell the truth. If it really wants to go to Ecosystems Unlimited, we ensure that it does.

There are also plans to make sure she doesn't sneak another case of brandy on board the ship.

Ha! If it foils Sam's plans, I'll order it to sneak THREE cases of brandy on board.

A call from the mayor

A cut behind the bow got me out of Abby's dress. I'll add a button later. Now it's time for a nice warm shower, a good dinner, and a comfy bed.

[!1.2]INCOMING CALL.

I'm in the…

This is the Mayor. Direct order. Come to the view screen now.

That woman is so going on my blocked caller list.

A call from the mayor

The Mayor probably wants to know why I left the dog pound. I'll co-operate and this should be over fairly quickly and painlessly.

This is a direct order. You will be silent unless my aide or I ask you a question. You will answer our questions fully and truthfully. Do you understand?

Yes.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could order people to tell the truth?

But that would take all the fun out of jury duty.

A call from the mayor

You're an artificial intelligence made by Ecosystems Unlimited, correct?

Yes.

Mentally, do you function like the other robots around here?

Yes, that's why…

STOP.

See? It's made out of carbon and proteins, but it's just a machine. Now do you feel less guilty about giving it orders?

I guess. Still, it seems so lifelike.

A call from the mayor

Do you want to go to Ecosystems Unlimited?

Yes.

How does Sam profit from this?

I don't see how Sam can profit from this. He's more likely to profit from the situation that may develop if I don't go.

If I give you a direct order to hurt Sam, will you do it?

NO!

Told you it couldn't be that simple.

It's dinnertime. Let's wrap this up. Can we get this thing into Ecosystems Unlimited?

Blocked. Odd. Blocked again. Ah, here we go. Medical. I can get her in for a medical check.

Good enough. You. Direct order. Report to Ecosystems Unlimited tomorrow morning at eight.

So, Chinese sound good?

I believe in the Mayor's eyes, all artificial intelligence is created equal. Which explains why I feel like I've been treated as an equal to the toaster.

It seems to me that the mayor treats people that way too. (KALDYH)
