Well now, this is interesting. Did the trashcan roomba just proposition Arid or tell her to go fuck herself? Impossible to tell but for the tone of voice Arid used to hint that this was an offensive term. Either way, it's amusing and unsettling in equal measure to find a droid so hostile toward others. Organic and non. Maybe it's also a security unit and its personality has been carefully selected by its owner.

Somehow, though. Hank doubts that. The door it came through wasn't big enough for a person to enter, and seems to be little more than a storage closet from the glimpse he got.

When Arid turns back he's watching her closely with his arms crossed casually over his chest. The stubby trashcan she'd been 'talking' to gives a final series of bleeps that Feel derisive before wheeling itself back out of sight and sealing the way behind it.

"That....is not what I was expecting." Hank admits.
