/me lifts his head painfully from the bar
Yeah, go ahead. I've been waiting in this limbo of a Rec Commons forever. No-one here, my Drone contact never really turned up with my Workers' Party badge...
/me sniffs the half-finished drink next to him and winces, pushing it away
I did see one Drone guy who told me we were meeting somewhere else, but I wasn't going to move.
/me shrugs nonchalantly
So, now I've applied somewhere else. Hopefully I'll get accepted there and I won't have to move anywhere. I think my time in this bar getting in touch with my true feelings will set me well in this group...

/me walks in.
Any free drink left? I can never remember when the happy hours is.
MrWhereItsAt, I saw you have changed mind haven't you. I'm sure you'll find home soon this time. The bartender here has close ties with your destination.

Since it has just turned 7pm GMT, yes it is. What would you like? The new Sargassian white wine is a particularly good vintage IMHO.
/me fetches a bottle, and puts it in front of the nice young lady.
Say, we don't get many girls in here. Whatcha' doing around these parts?

Thanks! You are so kind. I have never tried it before.
/me took a sip of the wine.
This is good. You ask me why I'm here? Well I'm kinda lost. I don't know where or whom I belong to any more. I can't find home. So I thoughy maybe I can find some clues here.

Swedish exam tomorrow. Sigh. On the other hand, in this context, it's a jolly good thing that Poly is so slow.

I am both the leader of the CyCon and the current barman. Does that answer your question

There was much debate about this. Some took the opinion that we were human, with a few enhancements, others that we were part human, part machine, and had no emotions but logic. We have come to a compromise whereby we have no "petty emotional foibles" such as the idea that something is disgusting simply because it is, but we use emotions as the tools they are in decision making.
We are not fullhumans, but we are still human.

Regarding our stance on emotions, it might be interesting to read the parts of our 3D Issues regarding Unimatrix 001.

Watch your words, Comrade 
If there was a rubber shortage, you could have read about it in PRAVDA. In fact, the Central Planning Committee has started a project called "No waste of rare ressources!", which seems to fit perfectly with the 10-children-policy

But you know what they say about navy boys... so long at sea, and only the cabin boy... That would explain fun without growth. Or perhaps its when you go on shore leave with the women from OTHER factions

Of course we are only controlled at home. It's when we visit other factions for holidays scheduled efficiency breaks that we really, erm, let loose our petty human frustrations.
Hence the Hive's booming population.

Jamski have you been experimenting mind control on visitors again? You know that the risk of hallucination is greater with people who are not used to it.
