That's not what they tell me. Of course, I never believe them either. [Because. Robots. Not even once.] But alright, alright. You're human. Do you have an human name? Or do I just call you...Arms.

I'm not a hacker, so I haven't gotten into poke at the code of the robots I've seen. But for the most part, they're not exactly bright.

[ Vaclav extends a hand because where are his manners. ] Vaclav Koller. And you?

[She takes that hand, giving a firm shake before letting go.]

Ruby. Just Ruby. Nice to meet someone who shares my views. Since we've established you're not a robot or a techie should I ask what it is you do? Or is that too personal.

[zombots]

Nice to meetcha, Ruby! I'm a bit of a 'techie' but not that kind the kinda techie that you're talking about. I'm a neuroplastic surgeon.

I get to tinker with people's broken plastic when it breaks down.

Well whattaya know. A doctor. That explains a lot. [Sorry, not sorry Vaclav.] So uh, you're not one of those good Samaritans as they say on old Earth, are you? You know, help the poor and turn the other cheek kind of stuff.

[He hasn't once gone on about his schooling or mentioned he'll be billing her for his time. How can she be sure he's properly certified here???]

[zombots]

Mmmm. You could say I'm just trying to get by just like everyone else is.

[ Vaclav doesn't go into his training and schooling, then again most of his training was on himself. ]

You'd be surprised at the kind of people who come looking for a guy like me. I either install implants or I'm fixing them. If only getting augmented wasn't almost a crime these days, I'd find myself working in a proper clinic and not working out of a sewer.
