Human After All

"Your mind should literally have a backlog of things, from how to boil an egg, to changing a tire, and even work for a space station; but only because you have all of this rattling around, it doesn't mean you know how to apply it. So, in that case, I propose going out." Alma said, David was sitting back on the table he had woken up on, legs bent over the end and his hands in his lap. He had sat and watched Alma pace around before pulling out the stool and dragging it around to sit in front of him. 

Blinking slowly he looked about before looking back at her. "Where?"

Alma scrunched her nose up in thought. "What would you like to see, David?" She smiled, why not give him the freedom of choice? He'd eventually see most of the city anyway. There was no point her dragging him around it now. He looked down at the ground and shrugged. There were so many options that he could voice. "How about we start here? Seeing as how you'll be here the most. It's best you know your way around it." Alma suggested. It wasn't like he was actually going to have freedom to just wander off without a reason to. She frowned slowly, something like him with free will might've been pushing it slightly. Who knew how an android with emotions was going to be received let alone free will. This seemed to cause him to look not so deep in thought. Honestly Alma didn't know a simple question could've caused such heavy thinking. Standing she shed her lab coat and pulled on her jacket, she grabbed her bag and gestured to the door. "Come on, David. You have a world to explore, well, a building that is." She smiled, he straightened up before slipping down and walking over to her.

He gave 6 a sidelong look before reaching her side. "Has he ever known anything else other than this room?" He asked with a small frown. He couldn't help but feel something which he presumed was sympathy for the droid. He couldn't really think of being shut away in one room, all day, every day of the week, was that what life was for 6?

Alma leaned against the door frame and nodded slowly. "Did you want him to come along too? He probably won't have the same sort of reactions as you do. But if you want him to come too, he can." Honestly if David could see himself bonding a little with the other David, then that'd be super. Integrating with others was as important as integrating with humans. Not only that, Alma wouldn't always be here. Forming relationships was important, if he could find himself branching out then that would've been even better. 

"It seems like a wasted effort, when said like that." David said rather flatly. If 6 wasn't going to find the moment pleasant, then what was the point of him coming along? Though physically appearing the same, David did have to remind himself that mentally, or at least at the source of their mainframe, they weren't. One little piece of hardware made a rift between them. To the point that David actually found he didn't really want to spend time with 6, Alma was much easier to socialise with and understand, to a point, that sarcasm thing though was strange to him. 

"Suit yourself!" Alma said while exiting the room and waiting for him to follow. He did eventually, looking rather guardedly down each side of the corridor. It was a long stretching structure with many other rooms leading off from it. Even from where he stood, David could spy people busying around. 

"How many floors does this building have?" He walked after her, his simple canvas shoes making the slightest sounds against the tiled floor. 

"Too many to count. There's medical, robotics, which you find yourself in now, gardening...stuff, actually!" At this she turned and walked backwards looking up at him with a smile. "They've got a biogarden here, it's really interesting actually." Alma turned back around and hit the button for the elevator. "They use the space to discover if there's any ways to prolong the life of certain plants, or rather vegetables and things which people eat. Sure, there's experiments with plants and some hybrid plants being made, or whatever, but...I've lost the point." To be honest, it was a department she didn't know much about. Much like those down there probably only had a limited knowledge of what she did up here in robotics.
