'''Florence:''' And the other part?\\
'''Helix:''' We're repairing the coolant loop of a nuclear fusion reactor. This is women's work!\\
'''Florence:''' Repairing a ractor is woman's work?\\
'''Helix:''' Yep. Sam told me so.\\

'''Florence:''' How convenient for sam.\\
'''Helix:''' Before you came, it was "Robot's work".
