15 - Bright lights, fast cars, disease

Why is it always Earth?

Why is it always so crowded?

Who knows this place? What is expected besides rampant capitalism and hordes of people-- this I have noticed already.

Nor am I. I am from Krynn, myself.

Krynn has crowds and marketplaces, but the noise is natural, and there are no cars or other such mechanisms that blare the way these do. And towns are surrounded by trees.

That sounds pleasant.

...robot? Like the sort of thing T-X is?

...what are incandescent lights?

But I understand your statement. They are not as...unpredictable as she.

I thought the lights on the Barge were simply magic.

Perhaps the robots in your world will one day grow weary of being servants. While normally I would not think a machine could grow weary of anything, I also wouldn't think a machine could be a friend, so if it can do one, it can certainly do the other. Besides, though T-X took a strange interest in my eyes and seemed overly certain that I needed a medical exam, is she not a warden?

I wouldn't know. I've never seen fluorescent lights.

But if they could explore and impose their own judgement, could they not deviate from their basic nature?

We'd suffocate and die. I doubt they'd die from harming a human, not directly, anyway.

But if they are self aware, there's always the chance they will find a way to work around this.

In my experience, when one is tired of being a servant, it has very little to do with competition over resources and property.

I see. To be honest, I know very little of what T-X is like, as I said before.
