***Oh, it’s so hard to describe…you know, a long time ago, I had this uncle…Uncle Tommy was his name. We visited every week. Uncle Tommy and Aunt Niney. Uncle Tommy used to tell me stories before bed…wonderful stories of dragons and unicorns and faraway places. Once he told me a story of a world where everybody weighed a hundred tons...all the people were like elephants. And he had this blanket he would wrap me in…it smelled like my old bedroom but I loved it…Wings, that’s what the Keeper is like…memories like that***
“This Keeper is like your old uncle…that makes no sense. Dana, you’re a bot. You don’t have memories. You have programs. You process what your program says to process.”
***You don’t have to make it sound so clinical…why do we argue so much, anyway? Why can’t you just listen for once?***
“I’m closing the link now…I’ve got to get some rest…time for you to hang up, Dana”
***No you hang up***
“I’m not sure why I ever let you go inside…all we do is argue. I’ve already got an embedded ANAD. I don’t need this.”
