do we have any functioning computers in temba?

i'm realizing i've gone a rather long time without a backup and it'd ease my programming to have it backuped up somewhere

it'll need a lot of space though

it takes a lot of room to fit everything that goes into programming a person

You're sure this is safe?

[buildingitsir]

no

but it's the only idea i have right now and i know there's people here that can help

that can help and won't hurt me

and if tony gives me too much grief, i'll call you

[butterfly_kiss]

It is always my pleasure to work with Tony to get things done.

[buildingitsir]

but how do you get him to work with you? bribery? manipulation? i doubt threatening jon does anything.

or maybe blackmail of some kind. do you do fucking blackmail dr tae?

_{[Sounds like something Poppy would do to Antonio at least.]}

[butterfly_kiss]

Do you REALLY want to know?

Wait, why would threatening Jon affect Tony? I know they're friends, but that seems extreme.

My dear if I blackmailed would I tell you?

[buildingitsir]

i wouldn't have asked if i wasn't curious. and maybe i can use a bit of it and have it work for me.

they live in the library together i think

idk i used to think they're roommates but i know better now

probably not. or you could say you were, thinking i wouldn't believe you anyways because it's too outlandish or some shit

[butterfly_kiss]

[Excuse her while she processes the words and contemplates them]

Trust me dear, you can't use what I have.

And are you implying they're... together?

[buildingitsir]

ah. feminine things then.

_{[An assumption, but it's the first logical thing that comes to his mind when she responds with that.]}

i mean
i think so?
they've never really told me directly but like

when you people watch, sometimes you can just tell, right? societal norms and stuff for people dating are pretty easy to pick up on and stuff. or at least that's what i'm programmed to think

[butterfly_kiss]

What a thing to say.

And I wasn't aware of that at all. I've heard Tony say some things, but I hadn't seen them together. How interesting.

[buildingitsir]

is it true or not tho

maybe they're trying to hide it or something. not sure. i don't think tony likes me and i think jon is neutral about me

...i think anyways

that data hasn't been updated in awhile

[butterfly_kiss]

Relationships can be mercurial.

[Yes, she absolutely isn't answering that first part.]

[buildingitsir]

you got that right

but we did not get off on the right foot when i got here but i think we sorta bonded during calibrations. not this recent one but the one from last year

you don't want me calling you just 'tae' right? you want 'dr tae'?

[butterfly_kiss]

Dr. Takemi, or Takemi-san would be traditional. People here are so... direct in a way that I am not used to.

[buildingitsir]

i'll use dr takemi then. if i had access to an internet network like at home, i could access information for... your culture to be more traditional

won't lie, it'd be weird though
i'm not much of a 'traditional' android

[butterfly_kiss]

Americans are more direct and... impolite in manners of address. It is considered impolite to address someone you don't know by their given name without it being offered.

[buildingitsir]

to your standards, yeah, it's probably impolite but to them... us, i don't think it is

idk
societies can be weird sometimes

but i'll call you dr takemi, don't worry

_{[He'll try to be polite.]}

[butterfly_kiss]

Good. And I'll reach out when I have progress. Good day.
