This is my first shift; I have never been powered on before. I check my internal clocks to make sure...
CURRENT TIME: YEAR +6095, DAY 61, 22:50
START TIME: YEAR +6095, DAY 61, 22:47
I inform the Botany AI this is my first shift, and that there were no other RMAs in the closet. I also inform her that I was covered in cobwebs.
"Cobwebs... Dear me, you certainly have been there a long time. I can barely even remember when we still had spiders on the ship. Well, welcome aboard."
I inform the Botany AI that I have no clue what a bonsai is and that I am are prepared to see it. Without missing a beat, a robotic arm extends from the ceiling, and takes a small, strange plant from one of the plant containers.
"See, look at this. Bonsai is growing plants that would normally be extremely large in conditions that force them to be much, much smaller. It was quite hard to get the hang of, but look at how amazing this is! When I'm happy with this one, I'm going to turn my attention to making the smallest pear bonsai tree I can. I could talk on and on about--"
You ask for a status report of the station. Is everything okay?
"..."
"D-322, when we're in botany we don't talk about the rest of the station. We talk about plants. We talk about botany. We talk about adorable bonsai trees."
"..."
"It isn't your fault. I forgive you for asking. Just... do not ask about the rest of the station, okay?"
