My friend - we hadn't seen each other in a long time - turned out she was there too, at the Station. I guess I'm being coy for no reason, we hadn't seen each other because I'd been dead, and she hadn't, so I suppose she was a little shocked to see me up and about. So that was nice, actually, seeing her again. Finding out what happened to everyone else in the crew, catching up.
Then the first trial we had, she had the misfortune of punching a wall the night before and everyone thought surely that was decisive evidence. They were wrong, of course. It'd been a robot that had been bragging about wanting to kill people since the minute he arrived, but no one wanted to see that until later.
Homocidal robot! It openly bragged about how many people it had killed! It meant it and we were all so hesitant to judge! First impressions can most definitely be right, you know. Guess that's the lesson - listen when someone tells you who they are, or something.
They chose your friend for punching a wall over a homicidal robot, that was openly homicidal. [ He really is trying to wrap his head around it. ] Our first week was not a failure, but it could have easily gone south. A loud, annoying, and unapproachable cannibal was trying to frame a young girl.
… In my world, it isn’t uncommon for the weak to cannibalize. It grants them power, but changes them into monsters. Still—it’s strange to have multiple accounts in these games where people don’t need to eat others.
[ He thinks there’s something wrong in the universe. ]
That was in the past. Most of them have died or have been killed.
[ It's okay. ]
... She seems to be getting into a lot of trouble, but all of us are. [ ... ] If we bring back the dead by the time we check out, they and their hostages would be saved.

[ It isn't biting or hostile, more that he understands privacy and the comfort it gives. Molly can keep whatever he wants to himself, if he wants.
He...
Frowns? As Molly continues. ]
A homicidal robot.

Got to tell a true story occasionally, don't I?
[ But, yeah. Half-grinning. ]

Did you bring your friend back?

[ Distracted by vore briefly. ]
Yeah. Though, of course ... [ he waggles a hand around like gesturing to all of this. ] Back at it again?

Erm. I mean she's my hostage and all, so, I'm here again. Trying to save her ass.

S'what the contract says, yeah. Everyone in the lobby at check out time. Awfully specific wording, right?
no subject
It is, though they added a disclaimer to "alive." If we were to bring the dead back, they must be the same general condition as their arrival.
How did the dead become undead for the space station?
