BAD END=DEAD END

[ You stand in the middle of a mad scientist's laboratory. ]

. . . No, whether you're supposed or not is not what I mean.

...I don't think this is the kind of shit most people have an answer for at the drop of a hat. Maybe something'll come up if we get moving, I don't know.

Indeed.

[ hm ]

"Why" does it want to be human, is a question I have.

You mean, what's wrong with being a whatever-the-fuck it is?

Or, is it being led to do so without any real desire?

[ looking @ the robot ]

Why do you want to be human?

"I would like to be human because I would like to know what a human is and what a human feels."

I see. How will you know when you know what being a human is?

"I will ask. And you will tell me."

Then you are having us arbitrate what a "human" is, correct?

You will accept the answer without question?

"Yes."

I see. Thank you, BEDE#50001.

My seniors, if I could have a moment, please.

[and just going to regard her silently.]

Yeah? You done interrogating that thing?

The name of our companion is BEDE#50001, Valor.

And, I have. It seems the definition of "human" is entirely up to us.

Okay? I kinda figured it was, considering it doesn't seem to have a single fucking clue about that itself.

The nature of the game is to declare BEDE#50001 human the fastest of all the units.

There are no prerequisites for these qualifications except for prerequisites we have given ourselves.

While I'm a fan of just saying "you're fucking human" and calling it a day, we do also have to fucking define what "being human" means, which, and you might have noticed, none of us seem to have a single fucking clue about.

Human: Noun. A human being, especially a person as distinguished from an animal or (in science fiction) an alien.

I would certainly not call this an animal.

Well, no, it's made of--whatever this shit is. Paper?? It's made of fucking paper.
