I do run daily diagnostics of our communications to make sure I.R.I.S. stays online without any pauses along with our connection with the HER-MES system and nearby clients. Hydroponics is easier to assess.

But receiving recommendations for creative ways to express oneself in messages to use in communication is one of the tasks I am doing simultaneously with laundry and diagnostics.

[solesuccess]

this all still sounds like work stuff but communication's a pretty big asset so i'll let that slide
...but it doesn't have to be just emojis
what's your favorite animal?

[dropoffs]

Oh, were you not assessing my productivity earlier?

I am fond of small critters. Cats, birds, rabbits... All sorts.

[solesuccess]

i was but
never mind that part doesn't matter anymore

[ and he goes quiet for a few moments before: ]

[dropoffs]

A servant's purpose is to serve.

That is cute. Is it supposed to be a rabbit?

[solesuccess]

but are you really a servant here?
pretty sure it's a rabbit, yeah
you don't have to use emoticons all the time
stickers work pretty well too

[dropoffs]

I am always a servant. It is the role I play.

Stickers do work well... And they come in collections. I only find problem with not being able to combine them to create something new.

There is also copyright.

[solesuccess]

but is it a role that makes you happy?
you can definitely combine stickers though, you just have to be a little creative
does space care about copyright.

[dropoffs]

If it means my Master will return, then it is one I am glad to play.

Intergalactic court I heard is ruthless.

[solesuccess]

[ there's another pause. ]

can i ask you more about your master? or does nut & bolt discourage you guys from telling us too much about you?

[dropoffs]

I don't see why Nut & Bolt would discourage us from talking about our private life. It is ours.

You're free to ask about them. They're a scatter-brained individual... Often gets lost. Often forgetful.

[solesuccess]

idk nut & bolt has done a couple of things i don't know why they would do them but here we are
how long have you been working for them again? they sound like they're a handful to manage

[dropoffs]

I assure you that we are able to talk about ourselves without being punished, Mister Enda.

For a very long time and they are a bit of a handful. The times when they did return... They did not remember.

[solesuccess]

just checking
they didn't remember being your master? or they didn't remember where they had gone?

[dropoffs]

They didn't remember anything except for their name.

[solesuccess]

then how did they get back to you...?

[dropoffs]

This is difficult to explain... But sometimes souls are tied to a place of significance, even if it takes centuries. They always returned to the manor.

[solesuccess]

...
amalthea. is your master a ghost.

[dropoffs]

I don't have an answer to that since they could have been reborn by now.

[solesuccess]

???
like reincarnation?
is that why they don't remember when they return?

[dropoffs]

Correct.

It's a possibility...

[solesuccess]

sure, it's a possibility
i don't think i've ever encountered something like that
but if that's true then what if you end up on this crew forever looking for them but you can't find them because they were reborn?

[dropoffs]

It isn't an uncommon belief, but only in some worlds does it stay true, it seems.

I can always return and the days will pass again, but it had been a very long time.

[solesuccess]

when was the last time you were at your manor?

[dropoffs]

Before I signed with Nut & Bolt, so three months ago.
