"Get up," she says to me.
I then get up and I say, "Hello! How are you?"
"I'm doing fine," she smiles.
"That's great. I'm doing fine as well."
"What will we do today?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. Could I try something new?"
"How about we try diving?"
"What's diving?"
"It uses the pool."
"Oh. Is it swimming?"
"No. It's pretty much jumping into the pool."
"I see," I say, stopping for a few seconds before speaking again, "I'll try that."
"Alright. Follow me."
"Aren't we just going to the pool?"
"We are going to a special pool with a diving board."
"Diving board? Is that what you jump off of?"
"Yes."
We walk to a room that has a pool with what the scientist calls a "diving board."
"Let's get changed first," she says as I follow her into a changing room.
We change and then we go back to the room with the pool and diving board.
"Do the same that I do after I am finished," she says.
She then walks onto something that goes up and down as she walks on it. When she gets to the edge, she jumps. Then I do the same as her.
"That is called diving. What you jumped off of was a diving board," she says.
"That's good to know," I say.
"Would you like to dive some more?"
"Yes."
We then dive plenty more times.
We continue diving until I get tired.
"I'm getting tired of diving," I say.
"Alright. What should we do next?"
"I don't know. What else could I try?"
"We could go to the lounge."
"What is that?"
"A lounge is a place to relax. Let me check something first."
"Understood."
She then takes something out and says, "Is 9624 in testing?"
"Yes, she is in testing," I hear, but I don't know who said it.
"Let's go," the scientist says.
I follow her to a transporter and we both get in.
We then arrive at a "lounge."
"Here is a lounge," she says.
"It looks nice."
"How about you talk to someone here?" suggests the scientist.
I go up to someone in the room.
"Hello," I say.
"Hello," she replies.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"Just another test subject."
"Test subject?"
