JUNOBOT does not know flavor.

junobot push her in.
JUNOBOT is always watching.
act normal.

we're NOT being watched.
LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
now i think about it, how did you keep eating? did you . . . hunt? what about water?

that was . . . junobot's job, right? junobot seems to control a lot about your life.

you're telling me urfmen aren't born with that feature built-in?

you must have had parents, or progenitors of some kind. what's your earliest memory?
never mind that. where'd i learn to walk & talk?
does she have...

calloused 🥵🥵 fingers
She's playing guitar again.

It's been awhile.

that's impressive. but if it was just you here, where did you learn to code?
i salvaged him, patched his motherboard back together & reprogrammed him. he was the first time i wasn't alone.

. . . you didn't build junobot, you mean? i thought--

well, he just talks so *positively* of you . . .
there was nothing to explore. the world was big but the storm was always so close, and we could never push past it, so the world may as well have been one room. one big sandy room.

once every few months, maybe, the storm would get thin, and i could see further, but there was nothing to see.
just more sand.

junobot was a one in a million chance. but when you do something enough times statistical improbability becomes statistical inevitability.

you really didn't explore much, did you? why not?

well . . . no, i'll let juno explain all of that.

is there anything you think you could do? for others, i mean? that you're . . . good at?
repair work? hmm.

noted.

urf? caps? all i had was sand.

no, but really. you had caps on urf, didn't you? it's a lot like that.

well, i do all kinds of things. i've done mercenary work. some security work, rarely. transport's quick and easy, but pays dirt cheap. mostly i do repair work. that pays well and i enjoy it.
odd jobs like what?

( she doesn't seem to quite believe him. )

junobot can dig really big holes.

i wouldn't say my cooking is anything incredible. you just haven't seen how good everyone else is yet.

well, you're in luck. it's not as though i'm flat broke. i learned the hard way the importance of savings.

*but* we will have to start thinking about picking up some odd jobs, soon enough.
you can cook!

hold on, do we have to be concerned about money? doesn't it just...

... lance, how do you get money?

*dinner*? are *you* paying for that?
it's FINE. it's FINE.

oh wait, i can leverage this for something nice. like dinner.

aww. nat.

. . . baby.

i think you're perfect anyway.
not all of them. :'(
looking into it...
now junobot's attitude to women we *have* to talk about. troubling.
not all of them. :'(
and they're beautiful, and they've got tits, which, frankly, is a big plus. see what i did there? callback?
speaking of hating women.
( she's pouting now. how could he suggest such a thing? )

says who?
if it was sand i'd be starting a BIG fight.
