When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

[geonomy]

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

[Ah. He doesn't like weapons.]

Do you have a weapon?

[jamminshield]

Yeah! Well, kind of.

It's actually a shield. But that's close enough, right?

[thezerothlaw]

Ah! So you take a more defensive role.

[Good, good. He approves.]

I am... not fond of violence, admittedly.

[jamminshield]

That's right.

I don't like violence either at all, you know. We're two peas in a pod, Daneel.

[thezerothlaw]

[He has to think about that one.]

You mean that we're alike, yes?

[jamminshield]

That's right. We're peace bros! [He holds up his tiny hand for a high five.]

[thezerothlaw]

[That takes him a moment, but he does clue in on what he's supposed to do here. Daneel very gently returns the high-five, as solemnly as possible.]

The First Law of Robotics is that a robot must not harm a human, nor through inaction allow a human to come to harm.

[jamminshield]

[Steven cheers as the fistbump in returns. As futile as it may be, he then goes on jokingly.]

Hey, that sounds a lot like the first law of Steven. But it also applies to animals and gems.

[thezerothlaw]

There are no gems where I am from. I'm sure my programming would have accounted for them if there were.

[jamminshield]

That would be very considerate of your programming! But that's okay, just pretend that they're like humans, but different!

[thezerothlaw]

That's a solution I've considered, truthfully. It may be workable. It would be a good solution, if I can integrate it.

[jamminshield]

Well I believe in you, Daneel! I think you can integrate anything you set your mind to!

[thezerothlaw]

[Daneel smiles, just a little.]

I appreciate your faith in me, Steven.

[jamminshield]

[Steven will give an even wider smile to compensate.]

I'm glad you appreciate it, because that's one train that's not making any stops!
