What's the point of all of this?
Not on a philosophical level.
We're told we're entertainment.

What purpose does this serve?
I don't believe in coincidence or fate.
People make choices and we're here because of that.

We were brought here.
I want to go home.
Is that going to happen?

[ Shun doesn't expect many answers but something, anything, would help. Give him a little bit here. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I'm quite sure it does. Why else would anyone bother?

[becomebetter]

Suppose there's value if you're looking for a host.
But then the value is simply due to having a body.

[dothelokimotion]

And they would choose . . . a weak human body with no abilities?

[ what kind of weird aliens are these. do they have no taste? ]

[becomebetter]

Those were the only kind that exist where I'm from.
Are you saying they'd have better choices here?

[dothelokimotion]

I have not seen any parasitic aliens on the Fleet. And they're quite rare in my reality.

So I am saying I do not think it is a real concern. I'm sure others on the Fleet would say the same.

[becomebetter]

But they exist.
They take. Manipulate. Kill.

If I'm going to do my job then it'll include precautions for them.

[dothelokimotion]

[ geez, this is grim and starting to bore him. ]

Go ahead.

[becomebetter]

[ He's paranoid and things happened. ]

Alright.

[dothelokimotion]

Let me know if you need anything else.

[becomebetter]

I want to meet you in person.
And who is our medical officer?

[dothelokimotion]

That would be me and Haggar.

[becomebetter]

Do we have equipment for a brain scan and can you do it?

[dothelokimotion]

I am capable. Why?

[becomebetter]

I need you to do it for me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ uh ok. ]

And what is it I am looking for?

[becomebetter]

Do you know what the human brain looks like?

[dothelokimotion]

I am familiar.

[becomebetter]

hot tea, ready to serve

[dothelokimotion]

[becomebetter]

[dothelokimotion]

Whenever you like. I am available.

[becomebetter]

Tomorrow, early. I'll come to you.

[dothelokimotion]

As you wish.

See you then.
