Simple Questions About Life

[hontobakabaka]

Today I realized that it would be my fourteenth birthday back home, so odds are good that as long as this isn't a strange dream I've been having for over a month it is here too. My moogle companion wouldn't answer, or more, Gai insisted it would be better to ask here so I have two simple questions.

Firstly, does that even matter on this world? I've been so wrapped up in just trying to figure out the base things, social niceties haven't really been a consideration.

Secondly, does anyone know how to make a Mars Bowl? Akito-san made me one last year, it was my favorite dish on the Nadesico. It is fried rice with little aliens made out of hot dogs that kind of look like octopi.

Anyways, that is really all. If you know anything, or have anything from home that may be appropriate, I would like to hear it. Thank you.

My best friend from home is a computer so, I understand complicated.

Several of them have resources you need to gather from nodes, so there is a joke about mining for fish, since fishing is almost exactly the same as mining.

You are a computer? Or an AI?

I'm a bit confused, but if you are, AIs are people too, frequently better people than humans. Flesh and blood, steel and silicone, nanomachine, it doesn't matter. A person is a person on their own if they can think.

Er, sorry. I've had to defend Omoikane from a lot of idiots who don't see things that way and can sometimes get worked up.

Nanomachines!
Emeralda is nanomachines
But stuck one shape here.

Yes.
People just people
Different shouldn't matter.

Really? About half my blood is nanomachines.

Stuck in one shape though? It sounds like you come from a place more advanced than where I come from. Nanobrains are generally one shape and plugged into other things. Then again it is mostly Jovian tech and I don't 100% understand it.

It sounds like you come from a very intelligent people though if they all have views like you do.

Wow

Mine colony of them
Millions of them!
Make me me
Could shape-shift but can't now since I got here

Well
Have good parents?

[hontobakabaka]

That is more advanced than anything I've heard of. But that would allow a more biological age progression than just metal.

Your parents must have been very smart. So that makes sense.

I hope they show up for you.
