the robot opened the door and smiled genially at little f- 876493.
little f- 876493 smiled back as best they could, and asked,
is big s-310765 in?
do you have an appointment?
no, but i am an old friend.
big s-310765 doesn’t have any friends.
well, in that case big s-310765 must be lonely, and in need of consolation.
big s-310765 is in conference, the robot replied imperturbably, and has not indicated any need or desire for consolation from his oldest and most trusted associates.
in that case, they might like to see a fresh face.
i do not think so.
may i make an appointment to see big s-310765 sometime in the future?
you may leave a request to see big s-310765.
very well, i request to see big s-310765.
the robot smiled again. you may leave your request at room 77 down the hall on your left.
will i need anything to do that?
identification of course. along with a sample of your ftw, and a video of yourself pleading your case or giving an overview of your proposed existence.
thank you, you have been very helpful.
service is my existence.
and with that, the robot closed the door,
little f- 876493 turned to little t-49210x, who had been waiting a few feet down the hallway.
what do you thinK?
we have come this far.
i don’t like it. i say we leave, and go out and shoot some grouse instead.
do you not want to leave some of your ftw, or a video? i will do it, if you don’t want to.
very well, i will meet you out on the moors when you are done. would you like me to bring you a sandwich and a flask of whiskey?
that sounds like it would just hit the spot.
