And here's the explanation for why he needs to specifically apply confidentiality - his default setup is a special case of applied transparency.
Though Florence is sending her medical data off on the starship anyway to build up information on her species' functioning anyway.
Yep, good job
Ooooh, a Noodle Incident.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.As for what Ecosystems Unlimited sent him... the speculation could run wild. Could be anything from ownership papers now that she's moved in to something he thinks she'll find highly embarrassing (perhaps her records include detailed nude pictures or speculation on her sex drive) to something interpersonal he feels they need to discuss (I could readily see EU having a paper about Bowman's Wolf fixation on humans and the risks of a sexual fixation. We know that Florence is aware of the difficulties of having grown up to "want what every human female her age wants") to a potential medical issue (some people have commented about Florence's unusual range of movement for her legs when she moves between bipedal and quadrupedal gaits, and it wouldn't surprise me if, as "prototype models", there's some issues with joint dysplasia or arthritis. Add the additional difficulty of your doctor being your lover).
The really important thing is, never let Sam see that pond picture. Or let him know it exists.
If I were to make a guess as to what EU sent... well, given that Mer got Raibert on board with more or less giving Florence free reign, I'm going to guess that it isn't anything too bad. That said, between them and Dr. Bowman (who certainly doesn't get privacy even when he has all the information, and he doesn't know Florence's dating habits... and he does want grandpups), it wouldn't surprise me if it was an excessively detailed medical file, with particular focus on her reproductive system (the latter thanks to Bowman).
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.You apparently weren't the only one that thought of the hip thing.
Pretty close, though the dislpay of certain anatomical issues wasn't the intent.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpI can't believe that an entire corporation is Florence's Amazingly Embarrassing Parents.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.I know... simplified art style, but I at first thought Winston had an inflamed scar on the side of his face◊...
Winston is very ethical.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I also get the impression that he's not someone who's had a lot of romantic success and may be pretty socially isolated, so he's terrified of losing Florence.
That said, I really need to figure out how to work out "Naked Female Lady Bones!" into my pillow talk.
I think I know one reason Winston became a vet.
"We learn from history that we do not learn from history."Potential relationship pitfalls◊.
They really are such a good couple...
Well it is far from slavery. And she doesn't relish the moments when the obedience programming does kick in. Your trope-holing is faulty (Though I mostly nitpick due to coming off of david cage's wild ride and how he had the robots 100% happy to be sentient bipedal roombas until they glitch.)
^_^ It's often so quiet in here. Making amusing titles is how I pass the time.
It's not even quite slavery now that AIs have been officially emancipated. That said, EU does control her genetic line, so they can kill her nascent species off if she doesn't satisfy them, regardless of her legal status.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I understand what she's going for here, and it's good that she can find happiness in any situation, but you have to be careful about this sort of thing. If you just accept your situation for what it is, you'll never improve it. On a related note, you also sometimes see people pressing this view onto others. Older generation to young is most infamous, but it happens everywhere. "Why are you complaining that gay people can't get married? In my day, gay people weren't allowed out in public; be thankful for what you have!"
Just because things could be worse doesn't mean you give up the right to complain.
