...is it rude if I ask how long ago you were created or whatever?

[pipeline]

I don't understand how it would be rude. I'm one.

[divus]

What can you tell me about your creator? [Somehow that's easier to tackle than this cyborg literally being one, the fuck.]

[pipeline]

[Her expression clouds, a somber look coming across her features.]

He is... cruel. He thinks of me like a possession.

[divus]

[That's not cool.] Have you ever gone against him? Do you see him often?

[pipeline]

No, I haven't. I believe I may have an opportunity soon that I haven't yet been given.

[As for the other question...]

Before coming here, I saw him each day.

[divus]

[Guy kind of sounds like a dick.] Well. For six whole weeks you won't have to see him again. Instead you're stuck with the rest of us. Think that's a fair trade?

[pipeline]

I do think it's a fair trade.

[Especially considering...]

I don't intend to lose.

[divus]

Neither do I. Why else do you think I picked you? [A wave of both hands into a sort of shrug.] I need strong, determined contenders who aren't gonna be afraid to play a little dirty and bide their time to get the best results. Don't prove me wrong.

[pipeline]

Then I look forward to our... [Hm.] Partnership.

[divus]

You and me both. Summon me again whenever, I'll probably answer if I'm around.
