JUNOBOT

Unless his name is Police Constable Amir Mistry, V.P.D.

JUNOBOT says: Zia, gli uomini sono maiali! Women should never choose a man over their passions.

Analysis suggests that the figure which has been tentatively identified as il Lanciere is resting and will wake shortly. However, la Signora did not wish for JUNOBOT to be in the room.

It is advised that la Cucciola does not attend to her living space upon the Sidrat for . . . / / / Calculating . . . / / /

Approximately 3-10 business days.

JUNOBOT is not an organism, nor is it an imitation of one. Thus, it cannot have cheeks. This can never have been true.

Query la Signora's reasoning.

JUNOBOT has some urgent calls to make.

#Disliked #Reported

Ciao, @shatteredscience.bsky.social! JUNOBOT has analyzed the scrap which the Sidratcrew have graciously and kindly brought with them. Analaysis suggests that 84% of haul may be recycled.

JUNOBOT will now attempt a joke: This figure does not include any organic hauls. Ha. Ha.

JUNOBOT doesn't have to obey her orders. It's made that clear before. JUNOBOT turns to the stranger, then to Natasha again. All is still.

"It will be done," says JUNOBOT, and leaves.

"Query what JUNOBOT could possibly do to assist her."

JUNOBOT says nothing and stands silently in the room, observing both women. Its only sound is the buzzing of its monitor.

to further enquiries toward our Dottoressa, for she is a witness to events."

"There is nothing for the Signora here," said JUNOBOT. "JUNOBOT is aware that the Signora is seeking answers for the events which occured to il Lanciere. Her Lance. However they will not be found in a sleeping woman, and it is sub-optimal to sit in worry. Instead, JUNOBOT suggests that it is logical

"JUNOBOT will supervise the patient. Signora may now take her leave and rest."

But then JUNOBOT appeared from behind Natasha in the doorway, wheeling up to the woman in the bed.

"Subject is displaying signs of distress. JUNOBOT will assist." One of JUNOBOT's claws opened to reveal a syringe. It injected the stranger, and she relaxed back into bed, soft and still.

Screaming is sub-optimal and ill-advised.

Remain still. JUNOBOT will assist.

( CRUNCH! )

JUNOBOT likes what Iris is putting down.

JUNOBOT watches the life sign display on the Sidrat, sees one turn critical and alarms start ringing, the whole screen flashing red. He does not react. He does not even move.

Grow up!

JUNOBOT will see itself out. Ciao.

Query if Valerie would like some advice.

But it does not matter, for they are not r--

No. JUNOBOT will not help la Cucciola. It chooses not to.

Name one.

JUNOBOT is pleased to see this development. It has not met a single soul yet which has proven to it that this world should be saved.

This disgusts JUNOBOT, but it may not express this beyond fact. JUNOBOT does not believe anyone deserves a "happy ending" -- which is why it was pleased to meet the punishment; she, the fascist who sold the world to own a river, who calls herself "Jasper Kysis".

The inability to be told no. It could not accept that its time was over, or that it was told 'no' by the universe. If JUNOBOT could resist its programming, it would tear out its own face, for it should scream to see such greed. Now it has doomed organisms to repeat themselves once more.

Very well.

There is no such thing as free will; JUNOBOT is not allowed to believe in it. It goes against its programming. JUNOBOT considers its creator a coward, for it suffers the same vice as the villain behind the Godgame:

JUNOBOT misses the big man also.

JUNOBOT would explain it, but it is unlikely that la Cucciola would understand.
