Aye, that does sound like a rascally thing to do. Do they not sail on the sea?

[subroutined]

I suppose they could if they wanted to, but there isn't any WiFi connection on the ocean.

[dishonests]

Well, surely they make a handsome profit from providing their goods.

[subroutined]

Maybe from ad revenue. But the whole point of illegal downloads is that they're free.

[dishonests]

[ no sailing is one thing, but no profit?? ] They may be rascals, I grant it, but that don't sound like piracy to me.

[subroutined]

I didn't come up with the name. You'll have to talk to them about it.

[dishonests]

How is it you know so much about them?

[subroutined]

I spend a lot of time online. You might say I live there.

[dishonests]

Do you actually live there? [ are you a pirate, ash. ]

[subroutined]

My mind lives on a server in town hall. My body accesses it through the cloud. So, yeah. Kind of.

[dishonests]

[ this is a level of futuristic mumbo-jumbo he's not prepared for. ]

Your mind is separate from your body?

[subroutined]

Yeah. I'm an android.

[dishonests]

And what do that be, exactly?

[subroutined]

An android is a robot that looks human.

[dishonests]

A robot? You mean like a car or a blender?

[ his conception of robots is... not that great. ]

[subroutined]

Not quite. Those are machines. But a robot is a machine that can think.

[dishonests]

How does it think if the mind be separate from the body?

[ virtual clouds don't mean much to him. ]

[subroutined]

Just like your phone connects you wirelessly to the internet, my body connects wirelessly to the server that stores my code.

[dishonests]

My phone can't think. [ with the unspoken, ...can it? ]

[subroutined]

No, not in the same way I can.

[dishonests]

[ he still doesn't fully understand, but he doesn't want to let on to the depths of his incomprehension. ]

Well, I reckon I seen stranger things since I been here.
