I'm taking a survey.

What did everybody do for a job before, you know, coming here?


[private to Howie; added later]

I think I had girl talk. Does that count as making a friend?

To put it simply: microscopic robots. They can be programmed for a wide variety of functions.

Like what?

Inhibiting-- or stimulating-- select regions of the brain, alteration of neurochemicals, muscle and tissue repair, protection against poisons and venoms-- the medical applications are nearly endless.

Neat. You actually use them on people or was this all just like, theoretical?

Private

Since I'm here, you can probably guess the answer to that question.

But the little robots sound so helpful.

Of course, that's what I thought, too. But, it seems that whoever makes the rules here decided that human experimentation was not... acceptable, despite the greater good.

Well you keep telling them otherwise. Maybe someday they'll listen.
