[Maybe Freya is bored and testing strange things at her new job with Prometheus... and who says a mechanical engineer can't have hobbies outside of her field and use work resources to test said hobbies.]

Interesting Fact:

Dry air is primarily made up of nitrogen (78.09%) and oxygen (20.95%). The remaining 1% is made up of argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.039% ) and other trace gases (0.003%). Water vapor (water in its gaseous state) is also present in the atmosphere in varying amounts, by up to 2%.

This is my Earth as of 2010.

So here is my question; What is the air in quarantine made of?

[About ten minutes later another text goes out.]

Maybe someone, not me, should try and figure this out. On the plus side, I found out that exploding things at my new job is not grounds for being fired! I also started a new project that I have named Prometheus.

He will be a robot that helps clean up the streets with a cute friendly tune. You'll see prototypes on the streets in about a month. If you see him, please fill out one of the surveys that are on his back and insert them into his mouth. If you hurt him, I will find you.

He's going to be like Wall-e so if you hurt him I consider you a monster of epic douche-baggery.

Okay but why does it play music?

[luckyescape]

Have you seen Wall-e? Music makes everything better.

[buildsomething]

Seems like the kind of thing that might get old fast.

[luckyescape]

I can make a playlist that cycles every three days or so. I'd need more music for it to cycle longer.

I'm thinking classic rock or maybe catchy musical numbers or I can go full Disney but that seems a little juvenile and it might piss people off. Which is not on today's to-do list.

[Not saying Freya won't do something juvenile and piss people off but she's trying to wait a month before she starts getting on people's shit list.]

[buildsomething]

Fair enough. Give it a bunch of incidental background music, maybe folks will think they've stumbled into a soap opera.

[Tony has much less of an issue with annoying people.]

[luckyescape]

As fun as it would be to watch people break into song and dance here, I don't know if I want to be the start of it.

Is your only comment about my project the music? I will absolutely take musical selections. I only have what was on me when I arrived.

[buildsomething]

I could probably find you a few things, I've got a decent library. Do you want comments otherwise?

[luckyescape]

That depends on the comment.

as far as I can tell,
the air has the same chemical composition.
it's the same as my world
and the Earth of 1923

Which is a little strange, since we're supposed to be quarantined.
But a lot of strange things happen here.

[buildsomething]

Not much I can say without seeing your specs.

[luckyescape]

I was pretty sure that the carbon dioxide in the air was a little less in the 1923's. Less cars and chemical emissions, then again, we might not be from the same worlds.

You a chemist?

[luckyescape]

Right now they consists of doodles. Very poorly drawn doodles but I can shoot them over to you once I get them in a revit file. I'm going out on a limb and assuming you have 3D imaging software.

[alkahestic]

I've never actually been to the Earth of 1923
but my brother has, so I'd have to ask him.

No, but close. I'm an alchemist.

[foxtrots]

why does a robot have a mouth? is it just for the surveys?

[luckyescape]

Okay, so, where I'm from alchemist is the word used for early chemist/scientist who believed that they could turn lead into gold. Which doesn't even make sense since they don't have similar composite materials inside of them.

Not he point, point is, I don't know what alchemist means in the context of your world. Is it the same or something else?

[luckyescape]

It has a mouth because, as the robot's god, I say so.

And yes, it is currently just for surveys. It may or may not be used to compose trash at a later date. I'm looking into the available chemicals and byproducts here before I can confirm or deny the details of it's mouth.

[foxtrots]

it's cruel to give something a mouth if it can't actually eat. you're not a very nice god.

can you sing along with the song? you should add the lyrics to the back of the survey. karaoke trashbot.

Why Prometheus?

[luckyescape]

I do not remember saying I was nice and that would require feelings and the ability to taste also. Let's just say it'll probably come in time.

As for sing along songs, now that's more my style! Are you thinking Disney or something else?

[luckyescape]

In Greek culture Prometheus is the god who was said to create man out of clay. I enjoyed the irony of naming a human like robot Prometheus. After that god.

He was also said to give man fire.

[sentiences]

Does he appreciate the irony?

[luckyescape]

I am sure that one day he will!
I'm hopeful.

[sentiences]

I am too.

I'll be sure to say hi. From one robot to another.

[luckyescape]

Awww, you're a robot! That's so cool!
And absolutely! He'll need an awesome older brother to look up to, so make sure you keep an eye out for him.

[sentiences]

I'll do my best.
