drinks serve no purpose for someone like me
so i don't have the experience either

i guess i'll keep an eye out if anyone decides to throw a party
probably be the most normal thing that's happened here

[crystalmaster]

I'll definitely be working on that party. I'll let everyone know when it's ready.

Is there anything androids like consuming?

[He remembers Connor telling him about something.]

[buildingitsir]

not that i know of
but not all androids a the same
i can't consume anything
connor or markus might be able to tho
:)

[crystalmaster]

Oh? That's interesting. So it's a difference in how you're constructed?

[buildingitsir]

cyberlife androids can be installed with this little
sac in their throat that they can empty
so they can simulate eating without actually doing it
i don't have any idea if there's a program to indicate if they have favorite foods or not

[crystalmaster]

Wow. So that's to make others think they're human?

[buildingitsir]

yeah that's what some people wanted from their androids
so they paid extra for the feature
there's all sorts of androids made for different jobs
janitors
builders
explict workers
some security i think
low grade, without weapons
androids are not allowed weapons

[crystalmaster]

That's interesting.

What if they go up against someone who has a gun?

[buildingitsir]

it's not pretty
and i'm speaking from what i've seen with my own eyes
humans don't really care about androids where i'm from
we're just another appliance

[crystalmaster]

That doesn't surprise me, sadly. But it seems very inefficient and wasteful, to say nothing of cruel. I mean, people should take care of their 'appliances' so they'll last a long time and not just be willing to cast them off so easy.

[It sounds a lot like how his rival and his gang treated humans, so it's a particular sore spot for him.]

[buildingitsir]

it's a long story
but those of us that deviated from our mainline programming
we had a safe space away from humans
then they found us
our safe space doesn't exist anymore
and that's when i showed up here
but markus says that things got better because he's from my future

i can only hope he's right

[crystalmaster]

Well, that's encouraging if things get better. Meanwhile, I guess it's nice you got away from what was happening back there for a while?

[Although he'll likely be returned to that point if he gets to go home....]

[buildingitsir]

yeah its nice
but still rough knowing our fight at home still isn't won
which sucks of course
but yeah
as long as things are getting better
maybe one day we'll even have rights there

[crystalmaster]

Yeah.

I hope someday you will have rights.

[It seems to happen in some sci-fi fiction verses. Hopefully in reality too....]
