[ The video pans across one of the communal rooms before centering on Dorian. He looks overwhelmed and thrilled at the same time. ]

Okay, so this is amazing. I have a room with a bed — and I'm not entirely sure what they expect me to do with that. Also my own chair! It's a sweet deal.

[ Seriously. A chair. His own space. Let the android have his moment okay. ]

Unfortunately, I don't think my charging station came with me on the trip here. Does anyone know anyone technically minded or with a large amount of appliances and scrap? I kind of need it so I don't run out of power. Low charges are hellish.

I can pay you? I think I get wages now. Amazing.

[sentiences]

What happened to him?

[kievs]

he moved away from my mum and i when i was little
i know where he lives i just

(sigh)

i was actually almost there but now im... here

[sentiences]

I'm sorry.

That must have been difficult. Especially since he was close by.

[kievs]

(She'd literally been standing outside his door, plagued with doubt, and then she'd woken up here. She still doesn't know how to feel about it. Like, it's kind of a reprieve on one hand, but on the other it's sort of torture.)

yeah

do you have parents? i guess not huh

[sentiences]

I have . . . something like a father. A creator.

[kievs]

right
whats your creator like?

[sentiences]

I don't know. I only met him briefly.

But he hurt a lot of people.

[kievs]

oh

(That's tricky.)

sorry. thats bullshit

[sentiences]

So I've been told.

[ But it still bothers him. That the person that made him could be so . . . ]

[kievs]

you know that doesnt reflect on you right

even if he made you that doesnt make you him

[sentiences]

I know.

[ You're you. John had said. Dorian might have smiled too brightly at that, too relieved that John sees him that way. ]

But he literally made me. Which makes it difficult to think otherwise.

[kievs]

(She can see why he'd think that.)

yeah

do you think its like robots in the movies, like hes programmed you to be evil or something

[sentiences]

[ . . . well . . . ]

I don't think he did that. With me anyway. But I think he has the capacity to.

[kievs]

is he still making robots? why doesnt anybody stop him?

[sentiences]

He escaped into a place where we lack the jurisdiction. It's out of our hands now.

[kievs]

well fuck

still i hope you can get him on something
he sounds dangerous

[sentiences]

I hope so too.
