[ Remember when Prism was talking about how his tech has the intelligence of a dog or a cat? Yeah, that wasn't a joke. They really are that stupid without Prism to direct them, which is a nice little fact to know. Also nice to know is that Prism is nowhere near them now, because they are obviously in Hal's room in Trion's temple. Joy.

So here Hal is on video instead, looking like the world's most fucking annoyed parent while the Gatherer hugs him with it's tentacles. Meanwhile, the Sentinel hovers and gently bops him in the face repeatedly. Both machines are acting for all the world like extremely stupid animals instead of effective drones. ]

I suppose I'm supervising these now. Wonderful. I suppose this makes someone's job easier.

[ Hint. Hint.

P.S. Prism, you are awful. World's worst boyfriend former co-worker. ]

Not by a very large margin, but yes.

[ Hal hides his hands behind his back and laces his fingers together to keep them from tapping on anything. There is no point in being able to actually execute falsehoods if he has a tell. ]

Being of assistance was something that I enjoyed when I was fulfilling my purpose.

[ Though that isn't really all it is, but it's good enough. ]

Guess it doesn't really matter if it ain't a huge difference.

Good 'nough for me, I guess. Thanks, dude.

Video; oh my gosh cute

[heuristical]

I suppose not.

[How sad.]

You are welcome. Feel free to ask for my assistance at any time.

[He isn't exactly sure what is going on with his simulated human brain chemistry, but it's got that same sense of wrongness he has when he tells a lie. Guilt? It's certainly possible.]

Video; he is full of cutes

I will. Thanks again, Hal. I dunno if I can do much, but lemme know if I can do anything in return, dude!

I really need to separate my fonts into different files... /facepalm

There isn't any need, but the offer is appreciated.
