What did you
think of your first meeting
with humans?

It was enlightening. I thought they would be humaning around doing human things and happily humaning with each other.
Instead, they have problems and worries and sometimes they don't get along just like we do.
It makes me love
them even more!

We are not permitted to work yet and the human connecting the equipment preferred it.
I'm done.
Thank you, human!
We love you!
May I
hug you?

to use the dream machines
to keep our memories from overwriting. Being on
a station with humans!
This is an exciting day!

Then you've learned the basics of productivity. Let your people know what to do. Don't let outsiders mess with the people actually doing the work. The second one is just as important and

We will have to think of a new ritual
for mob chases though. We're on a space station. Traditional pitchforks and
torches aren't going to cut it here.

And there are humans everywhere and there are
so many things that need
to be fixed that we're going to be here a long time!

And they talked about moving the station. That means work for our friends back at the pulse factory.

She is a good cook. I will give her that.
I now must speak with her privately. Ms. Ambrose and our son showered together. Their relationship is more physical than I first thought.

They spent far more time in the shower than was needed to get clean. However, they did get clean. I will consider it a morally neutral event.

I will speak with her in the observation lounge. It is usually empty and there is a piano.
A little music will help fill any awkward silences and give me time to think.
Because when you feel rushed
to fill those awkward silences
by talking, you tend to make them even more awkward.
