[Lore is back to himself, mostly. He's wearing a suit very much like the one from the breach- his last memories were of having people that accepted and cared about him despite his instabilities, and he hates that.]

Dear Admiral.

You know what I love? I really sincerely love? Being stuck in the nether for however long it takes before you realize that you left me behind. No, wait. How long did it take? Oh. Twenty-eight days, four hours, thirty-seven minutes, 10.567 seconds. Just a rough estimation. [He makes a so-so motion with his hand.]

Your "life is difficult so other people can show they care" lessons are a little tedious.

Also, why are there cheap decorations everywhere? [He makes a motion.] Never mind. Just... never mind this. You'll send me a cookie or a croissant and I'll still be incapable of stuffing it into your ear canal and it'll be frustrating. Whatever. I'm back. And I'm going to the pub to get a drink. Maybe if I pretend I'm drunk hard enough my programming will kick in and make me forget where I am. That's how humans are supposed to do it, right?

[He stands up and spins his chair around, before grabbing his journal and turning it off.]

Programming?

[A little bit later he returns, shifts back to video, makes a couple of knocking sounds as he taps his head, and then... well, he pulls off a chunk of his metal skull to show the circuitry underneath.]

I'm a Soong-type android. Positronic matrix.

[secretasshole]

[Neat trick. David is not, however, planning on revealing any of his inner workings, because it would be considerably messier and more difficult to repair. :V]

I am a David 8, produced by Weyland Industries. I'm unfamiliar with Soong-type androids.

[substandard_parts]

David 8. [He does like his names with numbers; it comes from having spent time with the Borg. He pops the skull fragment back in and it's sealed seamlessly.]

I'm Lore. I've never heard of Weyland Industries, but sounds like they had a little better funding than old Often-Wrong Soong. [A wry laugh.]

[ not here ]

[megamind]

[ OMG ROBOTS ]

[ excuse Megamind this is the first thing he's noticed in the last couple of days of sulking that made him come out of a funk. He makes a note to go looking for them later because robots. ]

[secretasshole]

It is part of a major corporation. That would make Soong your creator?

[He's back.

She doesn't even bother to say anything once she sees he's killed the feed, because her tired mind tells her that she needs to see him in person, or else it might just be another trick or hallucination. She heads for his room, fist. If he isn't there, she'll make for the pub.]

Re: [spam]

[The last thing he remembers, she was still missing. So when he sees her, he beelines for her instead of the pub first, ready to take her by the shoulders.] Are you alright?

[youwillgotohell]

[She doesn't settle for arm's length. Morgana steps past his outstretched arms and hugs him, something she hasn't done in - she doesn't know how long. But there had been a time when she hugged her friends when they returned from parts unknown, so she hugged him now, tightly. Because whatever else he may be, he was her friend - and he hadn't forgotten her in his time away.]

Have you been in Redemption all this time?

[substandard_parts]

[The hug catches him by surprise, and he makes an almost human noise. Then he hugs her back slowly, expression befuddled as he stared over her shoulder, wrapping his arms snuggly around her.

She's warm and she feels fragile for some reason. It's a feeling in humans that he usually hates. But he slips his fingers into her hair and hugs her close.]

I don't know. I just remember wanting to find you.

[sharpsuitfluffytail]

You've been missed. [Not saying by him. It could be someone else. Really.] Want company over there, Laurie?

Re: Audio;

[substandard_parts]

I'd be glad for it. [Not a lie. He does feel pretty safe around Kozak, which is a huge compliment- sort of.]

Audio;

[sharpsuitfluffytail]

Good. [He actually sounds relieved.] Meet you there?

[unweeping_willow]

Lore? [Her voice is fragile. She doesn't know whether to believe it.]

Re: Video;

[substandard_parts]

It's me. [Not fragile at all, just irritated with his circumstances.]

Video;

[unweeping_willow]

...Thought you were gone. [She's trying for offhanded. It's probably not that convincing.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her smile is wryly sympathetic.] I don't think that'll work, but we could try inventing a new kind of alcohol.

[substandard_parts]

You see, that? Would be a good idea. I don't suppose I'd be opposed to success. Soongs were never had addictive personalities.

[Grudge bearing ones? Addictive ones? Nope.]

[doctor_j_crane]

The nether? What was that like?

[substandard_parts]

I don't remember anything. I just have the highly unnerving span in my internal chronometer where there was no sensory input, or data of any sort.

[doctor_j_crane]

That does sound rather perturbing, but not that surprising. Have you ever experienced anything like that before?

[substandard_parts]

No. No deactivations are like that. Ever. [He's so creeped out by it.]

[je_suis_avec_toi]

Another artificial person? Aren't there any not artificial people on board?

Re: video

[substandard_parts]

Apparently one more from the last time I checked. [Which, makes him happy. He likes other AIs.] I just have been encouraged to emulate humans.

Do you have any advice for getting along well?
