I never said that they weren't. But I know they're doing their best, when humans are imperfect creators.

Besides... You think there aren't humans who think of other humans as tools?

[donotlick]

Sure, they're perfect, But they got no creativity. No soul.

And yeah, I know some people can suck. Androids aren't like that. The ones I've seen are either a blank slate, real good at faking it or so fucked up that they start killing people. Not a whole lot of in between.

[foo_bar]

We're going to disagree on that one, eh?

[donotlick]

Pretty much, yeah.

[ He shrugs. He'll change his mind later, I promise!! ]

My world's different. I didn't grow up with androids like some of the people your age.

[foo_bar]

Well, to be fair.

Our worlds are literally different.

[donotlick]

[ You bring up a very good point, sir. ]

....Okay, how the fuck does that work, exactly?

I mean, maybe not "exactly." Use English, I'm not a rocket scientist.

[foo_bar]

If you want the big science words, you're gonna have to talk to Oswald, which I honestly don't recommend.

Legitimately, I thought this was a teaching job when I applied.

[donotlick]

Great, so he's the only guy who knows anything... like the shit with the time travel and the being from different dimensions and shit. That's all him?

[foo_bar]

He knows a lot more than me. That's the biggest problem about it all-- and he's not afraid to lie to me.

Part of why I have my own little mini-investigation.

[donotlick]

[ Way to not answer. Hank will remember that. ]

Just a tip, but relationships built on lies tend to fucking blow up in your face.

Not that I'm complaining, I'm happy to offer my services.

[foo_bar]

I hope it does for him.

[look, he just. hates todd. it gets in the way of things]

[donotlick]

Yeah, we can all hope, huh?

[ Oho, he's gonna get to the bottom of this if it kills him. Which it might! ]

[foo_bar]

[it will probably kill them both, to be honest. but. you know.]

I didn't used to be this mean. Dammit, Todd.

[donotlick]

Some people are just assholes. That's why humans invented alcohol, to help 'em deal with all the bullshit.

[foo_bar]

Yeah, which reminds me... I'll have to get more now.

[donotlick]

Sure will! Keep it comin', pal.

[ He is going to happily grab that bottle now, thanks. ]

I'll find your asshole. I've got Connor, so the two of us should be able to crack this thing open.

[foo_bar]

You don't like Androids... and yet you've got one for a partner. Man, how does that happen?

[donotlick]

I sure as hell didn't pick 'im. And he's not my partner -- we worked one case together. That's it.

[foo_bar]

You're treating him like one.

[he points out helpfully]

[donotlick]

I mean, here, sure.

[ Kinda!!! It's not like he likes him! ]

We're both from the same place. And he's assigned to the force. Wouldn't make any sense for us not to work together.
