<MADDOX>
Oh, you have got to be shitting me with bad timing.
<ENER>
NO! Please don't stop here!
<MADDOX>
Mechanical or service error. Fucking luck, we're stuck in here.
<MADDOX>
What in the... EYE?!
<ENER>
Eye? That's the Eye?!
<MADDOX>
And would you quit with the "Shortbrain?" I don't lack a shortcoming in my head.
<ENER>
So that's the Eye we been seeing on the screens?
<MADDOX>
Yeah. A rather annoying one at that.
<ENER>
Like a bloodshot!
<MADDOX>
Hehehe... good one.
<MADDOX>
As if that will stop YOUself from calling me "Shortbrain" again...
<ENER>
As one jerk to another, that's too bad. Bloodshot.
<MADDOX>
Wait a minute... Ener, hold it.
Eye, are there something in it for you from us? And I thought you should be getting back to "helping others" since you claimed to be "busy?"
<ENER>
Quite a helpful one, isn't it?
<MADDOX>
More like an asshole. Not the worst I ever met, to be glad about something.
<EYE???>
Me heard that, Shortbrain.
- COMMAND: Ener: Ask Maddox if he remembers why and who took Ener to do the experiments and what specifically was Maddox's job on the Of Empathy.COMMAND: Maddox: Eat some canned food. You might be hungry and you and Ener have some days ahead until reaching the destination...
Maddox opened the CANNED PINEAPPLE while Ener is predictably chowing down on delectable CANNED WORMS.
<ENER>
Maddox, you know who took me here to the Of Empathy and why?
<MADDOX>
The City Government of Oolith handed you over so you would be part of our Experiments.
<ENER>
I was handed over? Oh yeah... that right. I was.
<MADDOX>
I can't remember specifically why, but you was branded as an Outcast. Ouch. You must have did something that yanked and rattled your own kinds. You were born and raised on Planet Oolith?
<ENER>
Yeah.
<MADDOX>
Same for me, born and raised as Oolithian Terran. Whoa, that just came back to me out of blue.
