We're taking the penalty for interrupting our sleep any way, might as well use the best fit for one of them.

CHOSEN REPLY: "The chip IDs tell me that Louise is owner of the Most Fortunate Occurence. I thought its usually the pilot who's also the Captain?"

"Ahh, you see, it's a bit complicated. When I was-"

"You're a Drone." Louise shifted in her chair, eyeing you with suspicion. Jack, on other hand, looked confused.

"Wha?"

"Drink less and you will notice such things. He just changed his conversational style. From bombastic, loud hot-headed type to a chatty one, which comes with lowered vocal volume."

"Uhh..."

A) "You've got me. What now? And how did you know?"
B) [HOT-HEADED] "Absurd theory, miss! I've been always myself!"
C) [CHATTY] "I have absolutely no idea what you mean. I'm just myself."

I see no reason to lie

[mightymushroom]

And what's so wrong with being a drone?

[Maximum Spin]

A, but can we phrase it to subtly imply that that was super racist?

how is it racist? She mentioned that we’re a drone, this is a trait, is saying someone has green eyes racist?

It could be.

CHOSEN REPLY: "You've got me. What now? And how did you know?"

Louise smirks. She then raises her free hand, fiddles with the wrist, and then waves her hand to the left.

The palm above wrist falls away, kept attached to the wrist by an elasto-steel cable. Numerous sockets and plugs come in your plain view, many adorned with lit or blinking red lights. Jack grimaces.

"Gah, Louise, stop doing that... it's creepy." The girl just shrugs.

"..." Louise places her hand back and the wrist produces a loud 'CLICK', then she wiggles her fingers to make sure it connected properly.

"Fine, you're a cyborg. What does it do with me?"

"We're not so different."

"Really?"

"I might be fifty percent robotic, you might be ninety-nine percent organic, but - the bio-chips lodged at the base of our brains run the same software. And I hate those fake personalities."

"Helps with clientele."

"Not with me. Makes you as fake as those tacky neons above your head."

"A shot of Cherrybomb." Jack lifts his credchip for you. You oblige, and scan his credchip to get those credits charged (+8c).

Today's earnings: 365c
Monthly earnings: 365c/9600c

Once Jack is out of the way, sipping his Cherrybomb, you turn to Louise.

"Is there a problem with me being a drone?"

"No, there is none. I was making an observation. If you thought it's anything else, then, well, that's your problem to sort out."

"..."

"Now, get some Asteroids." Jack looked surprised.

"Since when do you have two drinks per night?"

"Usually, when I get another drink, you're already knocked out. No wonder you didn't notice that, too."

C) [RED-HEADED] "Sweets! They don't suit you, Miss Pereres. Something sour would be more fitting!"

A - She seems to prefer the neutral response to the Personilty ones (considering we don't have a Chilly option)

I wonder if we can expand our biochip to include more personality options in the future

[Maximum Spin]

A, but I want to pick at this topic a little more. Why is one part of our personality (well, two) "fake" just because it comes from a different, more metal part of the brain? Switching wildly between tones in a conversation isn't all that different from many baseline humans. Who's to say that this is something "fake" deriving from our drone heritage and we aren't just bipolar?

Though I should add,

A - She seems to prefer the neutral response to the Personilty ones (considering we don't have a Chilly option)

don't forget that there are two customers here! We could just try to make friends with the teal guy instead of doing what she wants.

I wonder if we can talk with Louise more about our inorganic augmentations, I find it very interesting. Maybe we can talk with Jack too, if he’s ok with a conversation like this, talking about similarities and differences and how 100% organic brains, 90%/10% organic/inorganic brains, and 50%50% organic brains might see the same scenario in slightly different ways, or how various details might be caught by some, but missed by others
