Okay, I was warned this spaceship is creepy, but it goes straight for the visual distortions?

I guess I should introduce myself. Detective John Kennex. If you've come across a synthetic named Dorian with dark hair and blue eyes, a woman named Anna with dark hair and brown eyes, or a small but authoritative woman named Maldonado, let me know. It's important.

Anyway, I'm new and I could use a tour guide. Any volunteers?

[He usually wouldn't ask for a tour guide, but he really wants to learn more about this place.]

[ooc: Just in case you were wondering, in regards to the visual distortions, John's having side effects to a drug.]

Probably could've figured that one out on my own, but it was worth it to make sure before I started flinging around assumptions. So this synthetic- on the side of good or bad?

[nutsaboutscans]

Good, definitely. He's my partner. Cop partner.

[Just so you don't think he's banging a robot.]

He's kind of a bleeding heart, but he's okay. Anna's the one I should have mentioned on the main post to stay away from.

[lostkings]

Got it. [ He nods along, just listening for a minute. ] The only robots I know about aren't exactly the friendly type.

What'd Anna do?

[nutsaboutscans]

Yeah, Dorian's the only one I like.

Anna... [He hesitates. This is hard for him to talk about, but it's best to tell what happened in case she shows up.] She works for a crime organization. Killed a lot of people, a lot of good cops.

[lostkings]

Glad to hear that's at least one good one.

[ He can sense the hesitation from here and Peter takes a few seconds before he even considers saying anything. ] Anybody like that shows up here won't get away with anything for long. If at all.

[nutsaboutscans]

Yeah. At least there's one.

[It actually takes him a lot to admit that, yes, there is a good robot and he's friends with him.]

She's very good at manipulating people. I know we can't accuse people without proof, if she shows up; I just want to make sure people are safe.

[lostkings]

[ Peter makes a noise like it's incredibly hard for him to believe that fact, but he's working on it. Trying. Or something. ]

I know people on board like seeing what they do on board first. But with evidence and a little background, I don't see why people would hesitate to believe you.

[nutsaboutscans]

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Hopefully she never shows up here.

What robots do you know about? They're not MXs, are they?

[lostkings]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[ a beat ] Okay, you've got me again. MX's?

[nutsaboutscans]

MX-43s. They were made to replace the DRNs. They're logic-based and made to feel nothing. They're made to be less human, as that back-fired on the DRNs, but they still are humanoid.

[lostkings]

The ones I know sound a little more like MX's if I've understood you correctly.
