[Connor grins lopsidedly at Tidus.] It's no problem. Besides, if Hank's not here I still need to be able to understand people. This helps.

[Maybe not directly - only Tidus speaks this language, as far as he's been able to tell; he's never heard it from anyone else - but it's giving the translation software he's trying to develop here a workout.]

It shouldn't just break and then fix itself - this sounds like something the Head's doing on purpose. You're right - maybe just to see what we'll do without the help.

[His expression tightens just a little at Tidus's aborted statement - about people who know each other.]

It's not...unlikely the Head brought Hank and I here just to observe our behaviour with one another. Or the way we interact with the city at large in comparison with people who come here by themselves. Maybe because of what it knew about us back in Detroit.

I wonder if there's actually a purpose to it, or if the Head's just bored. I'm an AI too - I've wondered before what I'd do if I was created in stationary servers, given control over an entire city state and left to my own devices. Left alone for a long time. What I would be like.

I hope not like this.
