2B... [Her name comes out in a breath, shock clear in his voice. That had been the last thing he expected her to say. She was always so stringent and dedicated to the mission, he thought for sure that even in the presence of humans, she would be thinking of the ones they had left back home. As for 9S, he wanted to stay here despite knowing he can't, and that's exactly why he expected 2B to say the opposite.]

But what about the humans back home? They need us too.

[historyrepeating]

While we're here we can't do anything for the humans back home, so we need to focus on the ones here.

[That seems so obvious to her, so there's a faint frown on her lips now as she looks over at him.]

I've already told a small group of them they can ask for anything they might need. Eventually I want to make sure the whole station knows it, but I don't want to make a public offer. Some of them look human, but aren't.

[twoaffirmations]

Yeah... That's true.

[He can't argue that the humans in the closest proximity to them should come first. They all have to survive on this space station together, and the humans were much more vulnerable than any android.]

It sure gets confusing with all these humanoids around, huh? Some of them "used to be" human, some aren't technically human, but I'm pretty sure they're related...

I met one who was an alien, but looked like a human. Her eyes glowed red like she was infected with a virus, but instead of it causing instabilities she shot lasers from her eyes.

[Yes, that really happened, and no, 2B still doesn't know what to think of it.]

[twoaffirmations]

Oh, that's weird.

[There were all sorts of oddities around here.]

Recently I've met a "half vampire" and a gemstone that projects a body for itself via hard light.

[He lets out a grumble.] It turns out the vampire opened a clinic too. I figured we would continue to let it operate, since there's no other human health establishment on the station, but we should keep an eye on it.

[9S have you been reading Twilight or something.]

Are vampires dangerous to humans?

[Included in that question is also: what's a vampire.

Because for real what have you been researching in your spare time on the Bunker bro.]

[What? You can't read a time of day.]

Kind of...? It's complicated. Apparently he needs human blood to sustain himself, but he says he'll only take it willingly.

Not that I really believe him...
