[ With no introduction... ]

back home, one of the main things I used to do was train people to control their abilities - i've spent quite a number of years teaching myself control through various techniques, as it's pretty essential for me to keep things in check.

in a bid to feel useful to the community, interest check:

anyone want training sessions? whether you have abilities you're struggling with, or are just looking to get some more control over yourself, I can help.

[Or at least, try to. ]

[ Uh. ]

Yes? Obviously?

[tanker]

[ This is a first for John, he's still trying to process. ]

well, okay. do you care about having friends?
maybe there are other androids around.

[sentiences]

I can make friends, you know. I do have social skills. I just never had much opportunity.

[tanker]

well no, I didn't know
I apologize, didn't mean to offend you.

[ He could make excuses, but that's just not his style. ]

whatever it might be at home, I hope if you want them to be, that things are different here. And I'm always happy to talk if you need to.

[sentiences]

It's fine.

[ He's used to it. ]

I appreciate that. To be fair, I'm still taking it all in. I don't really know where I stand.

[tanker]

me too. It's hard - everything is so completely different from what I'm used to, and my own role is, too. Trying to understand what that is, here.

[sentiences]

How do you see your role?

[tanker]

I'm in charge, back home, but obviously, things are different here. I'm not sure yet how are things going to shake out, because the circumstances are very different.

Right now, all I want to be is helpful to the community. Do my part. I guess I'm used to being very involved, and I might not be as much here.

[sentiences]

I guess I'm the same way.

Except I've never been alone like this.

[tanker]

I'm sure you're going to be just fine, though.
You're managing so far.

[sentiences]

It's only been a few days.

[tanker]

every day is a victory. that's kind of what I gathered from being in the marines.

[sentiences]

It's a good mentality.

[tanker]

one of the things i've retained, for sure.

trying to keep some positivity in life is also extremely important, in my opinion

[sentiences]

I find it certainly does a lot in terms of moving a person forward. Even if it's not the only thing you need.

[tanker]

What would you say you need, as well?

[sentiences]

I don't know. I can't rightfully say I've ever needed anything.

[tanker]

well... maybe you should contemplate what you want, and how to move forward and what you might need, now that you're here, and you're on your own

[sentiences]

[ Can he do that? Dorian doesn't know. ]

Move to where? There are only so many places I can go.
