Annoyed Ghost-tied to the Gamia destruction

[girlfriend_dot_exe]

[Alice's video projection is flitting about from monitor to monitor, looking...rather frustrated.]

Melted down for scrap...honestly, these people! Never once thinking about others!

Grrr...I do so much for them, and then they just...!

[She flops down somewhere on the screen, looking defeated.]

Bah. Maybe someday I'll show them what it's like to be a ghost...

...I guess I'll just have to keep waiting, huh...

Wha-? Really? They didn't tell me - I'd have liked to have a look at them...

What did you want with them? I can see if they kept notes on the construction, if you're curious...

[girlfriend_dot_exe]

I would have liked to use them to get a meatspace body...

[emorangerpink]

M-meatspace...

[Sweatdrop.]

Ah... I didn't know you were interested in something like that, Alice. I can add something to the requisition lists, so if anything suitable shows up again we can set it aside...

[Laura pauses. How would it look for "please reserve any robot girls that come in for me" to be on the system under her name?]

I can ask, er, Lowe or Roads to add something, I mean...

[girlfriend_dot_exe]

Really? Thanks!

I've never had a human-sized body before.

[emorangerpink]

Really? I could try putting something together for you... it'd certainly be interesting. It'd be fairly... basic, though. But if you were doing all the thinking from that backpack unit... hmmm.

[girlfriend_dot_exe]

Ah, I, uh...kind of need it to be as human like as possible...

[emorangerpink]

That'd be pretty tricky. Robotics on such a small scale, that can be made discreet enough to seem human... that starts to get in to military technology and high-end prostheses. Not the sort of thing we're set up for on board...

[Laura's visibly caught up in thinking about the technical challenge. It's easy to tell from the change in her expression when the follow-on thought crosses her mind:]

Um, need it? Need it for...?

[girlfriend_dot_exe]

Ah...

There's someone I want to hold.

[emorangerpink]

Ah...

I see. I'll do what I can. The sort of thing you'd need, though... we'll have to count on luck, a little.
