Not unless it's some ethically hinky deal where I am and don't know it. And that seems like the kind of situation where someone who figured it out might flip out and go on a rampage so I guess if it's true, congratulations on asking the question that eventually kills us all.
Are you trying to pitch a vid idea to me or something? Okay sure, I've got some friends in high places, but if we're talking business then I'm gonna need to see some numbers.
Hell no. Last time I got involved in anything like that here one of the cast members vanished and another turned up twenty years younger. Hard to get around that with clever writing. It might be okay for this ship to pull it "just because" but an audience would want answers.
Seriously though, why the interest in AIs? Kind of a weirdly specific thing to ask about just because you're bored.
I guess you could assume I already assumed that and was fishing for details. I just don't know a lot about them myself. I know one for sure and he's a pain in the ass, but I'm pretty sure that's a him-thing and not an AI thing. Aaaand one maybe, I'm still not too clear on what her deal was.
[THAT IS SO RUDE. Especially since Heather's in the Gardens being sweaty and gross and goofing off instead of doing her damn job. Have one for her, Joker.]
Fair. Pain in the ass is still here. Name's Wheatley, ship put him in a human body and he's totally chafed about it. Consistently has the worst ideas anyone's ever heard and then sometimes sneaks a couple in that almost sound okay. Except it's Wheatley, so you know it's gonna go south in a hurry sometime.
The other one - I dunno. Her name was Chase. She looked like a little girl but she was... a robot? I think? But she could eat and drink and everything. And when some creepy-ass monster things here attacked her they -
[ATE HER guess who's still not over that. Heather misses the little booger, whatever she was.]
Yeah, she does. [Joker downs the rest of his scotch, because why not. He's drunk enough to not care about what he's saying to who.] And it's awesome, it's really awesome. But she's, y'know.
She's awesome. [blahhhh gonna lay his face down on the bar counter and it smells like space and cleaning solution and old beer nuts] She's so, so awesome.

Sorry. You know, for your loss.

Huh. I guess that's my answer. Some of them are idiots and some of them are heroes, just like with everybody else.

My copilot. And- well, also she's technically the ship. And my girlfriend.

Huh. Well, that's not something you hear every day.
Does she have a body? Like a - not-ship one?

She's not worried. He sounds way to far gone to notice.]
Is she here too? That why you're trying to feel people out?
...also, you might wanna grab a glass of water, maybe.

Nnnnope not here. Which is a problem.
