I am not capable of feeling physical pain. However, I'm experiencing something akin to PROFOUND ANNOYANCE with whatever is disrupting my systems. Has anyone noticed a common denominator yet?
[He has. But he doesn't want to say he has. Because then people would know, and he couldn't lie like that. If people don't know why his voice is turning grating and mechanical over certain statements, then he need not inform them.
Right? Right.]

Date: 2012-09-07 04:14 pm (UTC)Are you all right? [Because disrupting systems sounds painful anyway, or at least uncomfortable, and the unspoken thing here is 'is there anything I can do.']

Are the symptoms threatening your systems in any way? Do you need repair or something to mitigate the effects?

Date: 2012-09-07 06:13 pm (UTC)I gathered. [and back to normal]

Date: 2012-09-07 06:16 pm (UTC)It'll be alright.
[Still not working.]
When the flood is over.
[Okay, that came out sounding more normal.]
Private
Date: 2012-09-07 06:18 pm (UTC)I'm functioning perfectly, [that's still messed up] it's just the flood [That was, too] that's messing with my vocals. [That bit sounded more normal.]

Your fear of roboticists is not unfounded based on your experiences, but if you are in danger, or-- pardon the organic analog, 'physical distress', I hope that you will ask for help?
[Which reminds her, at the least convenient time:]
We must also speak at some point about your employment here, but that can wait until you are not impaired.

Date: 2012-09-07 06:53 pm (UTC)I don't need help. [And that's back to it.] F- If I had the tools I could do it myself. It's not the flood that's the problem.
[There, that's a little better.] I retained some injuries while assisting Willow with the last time the ship tied itself in a knot.

Date: 2012-09-07 07:00 pm (UTC)It's lying. If we lie, it's hurting us.
It didn't take me long to catch on because I was generating the statements. [And he lies a lot to protect himself.]
Private
Date: 2012-09-07 07:02 pm (UTC)Do you need anything to repair, or will it heal?
[Private]
Date: 2012-09-07 07:04 pm (UTC)If that is the case, this flood would fall under the category of mental effects.
Why do you continue lying if you know that is what is causing you pain?

Re: Private
Date: 2012-09-07 10:09 pm (UTC)[There's a long pause. He ends up not answering because he's a brat and he doesn't want to be honest about the damage beyond that. He doesn't want to ask for help.]
[Private]
Date: 2012-09-07 10:11 pm (UTC)[A little flicker in his voice.]
Most of them.
[His tone evens out, because there's a couple he's become very fond of on board. He doesn't know what to do with that. He's constantly suspicious he's going to get hurt.]

Date: 2012-09-07 10:19 pm (UTC)I don't here because I don't want to have to sit and feel time move and do nothing. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be given access to a computer without supervision.
