Vandal here.

I've been sifting through the junk pile and I found a few things of interest. A few hard drives, some music and films on them, haven't sorted through or formatted it yet, but if anyone's interested in some entertainment there's that.

Found some stuff I might be able to turn into a human-sized living space. Old mobile home. Kind of shitty, but a nice fat project to work on. But uh.

Can anyone help me haul this thing out? I mean, I got it dislodged, but my RIG only has so much moving power.

Also: Hey Max, you around? When are we going to do that whole drink until we can't stand thing?

[Private to Ratchet]

Ratchet? I have something to ask you.

[Private to Perceptor]

You owe me that story.

Junk pile?

Big pile of junk?

I haven't seen it.

[But someone mentioned something important about it--]

Is that... all you found there?

Well no. I found some other stuff.

You uh, new I take it?

Like what?

[He nods.]

You aren't?

Just useful human stuff. Some towels. A box of medicine. Score on that one.

Ah, been around a couple weeks.

Medicine?

Why do you need human things...?

[Aren't you a robot.]

Because I'm a human?

This is just a suit.

A suit.

Is there a reason you need to look... robotic? On your world?

Well. We don't mean to look robotic. It's an engineer's RIG. So I can do my job.

You're an engineer?

[Oh wow, he brightens a lot at that.]

Yeah. Not a very good one, but I try.

Do you do repairs, here?

On broken shit, yeah. I might be learning how to fix robots soon, though.

Broken... shit...? What does that mean?

[how does I slang.]

Uh. Broken things. Like... you know. Machines. Nothing as complex as a robot, though.

'Broken shit' means 'broken machines'?

[It's like a kid learning his first curse word.]

No. Broken shit means... broken shit. Shit can mean a lot of things.

Like what?

I haven't heard it before.

Well, it's actually a cuss word, but you can use it as an expletive, a noun, an adjective, the actual context which is another word for 'poop'...

...

Oh. [WELLP maybe he shouldn't... go around saying it then.] I... I should have asked that sooner, maybe.

Don't worry. You don't know, you don't know. Not your fault.

You're very forgiving.

I don't know if I would call that "forgiving" as much as "not being a dick".

...

[Blank. Stare.]

Not being a dick...?
