[Bortz is not a chatty person. They aren't a particularly social person, and they aren't at all eager to make new "friends". But they'll submit to this sort of socialization with complete strangers to get information they need.]

Do animals have doctors?
If there is anyone in charge of fixing those of us who break then I need to know in advance rather than waiting until they're actually needed.

[There's a pause, and then they continue, almost begrudgingly.]

I also need to know if anything be done for you people if you're damaged.
If it comes up then there won't be time to figure it out in the moment. I won't waste time trying to help if there's no point.

[They don't care. They really don't, these organics mean nothing to them and frankly, expending effort on them when they have such short, limited lifespans to begin with seems pointless. But this is the job they've been given, and they'll do it right. If that means babysitting these fleshy people then so be it.]

Comments

[eyedrop]

you seemed to be having trouble with the precise definition.

[abortz]

It isn't my fault you people need to overcomplicate everything.

[eyedrop]

hm.

well, you have your answers.

[abortz]

[They aren't one to prolong a conversation unnecessarily. But there is still something else they should look into.]

Would a human doctor have paste?

[eyedrop]

where i'm from? probably. don't know if that's the case all over, though.

[ there are people made of stone and wood in his world, so ... ]

[abortz]

[Your world sounds at least slightly superior than most other people's worlds, then.]

Someone else said it's unlikely.

[eyedrop]

do you need it?

[abortz]

If I somehow break, then yes.

[eyedrop]

hm. that might be something hathaway can help with.

and there's always the people with healing powers.

[abortz]

I talked to someone with healing powers.
He said his abilities only work on living cells. I'm inorganic.

[eyedrop]

yeah, that's one guy. we have plenty of others.

[ reading over the rest of the conversations ... ]

looks like you got what you needed, in fact.

[abortz]

I'll keep looking. I won't get complacent with "good enough".

[eyedrop]

don't think anyone expects that. i just saw what my student offered you.

[ but he's not the guy to help with this, ultimately. ]

anyway, best of luck.
