[Hey crew! It looks like there's some new changes that have come over the ship as well as a couple of new crewmates from the past shuffle or two! Have you been enjoying the planet, or is it too cold for you? Have you caught a nasty cold like your poor captain a few posts down, or are you a Vanquish member and are fine? Come along for a mingle, let the viewers see what you're up to! And also meet the tiniest, cutest crew member too!]

Max Caulfield. I'm something like... the fleet photographer. [ She's heading for where she set down her camera - and photo - when the roomba attacked. ]

Do you, uh, usually have to fight with your machines like that?

[stickupherforehead]

Oh, that? [Pearl laughs nervously] That was just once!

[sweeping a small cluster of toys over to the side of the table, Pearl is already taking the roomba apart.

Pause.] Or twice. Maybe a few times? I'm trying to add a 'sort' function to these robots, but it somehow keeps triggering the 'attack' function.

[timelapsed]

Why would they even have an attack function...?

[stickupherforehead]

Why wouldn't they? I just haven't settled on a weapon just yet.

[maybe Al would let her borrow a gun.]

[timelapsed]

I am at least ninety percent sure those are just for cleaning.

[stickupherforehead]

Well - [actually no, she can't argue with that.]

But they have the potential to be so much more! Who would expect a cleaning robot to attack?

[she totally tricked them out with mini EMP bombs already.]
