Re: Critical Directive // URGENT // ATTN: attorney_at_lol:

I asked Mr. Customer where he came from. I asked him how he got here. The answers to the questions are, respectively: "From beyond the wall. The Wasteland." and "A jeep. Outside the wall."

I hope that these answers are sufficient.

---

Mr. Customer tried to tell me about some other things that were happening outside, but I could not understand them. I am currently incapable of connecting to the support center's databases, and so I could not query the corresponding information.

Additionally, Mr. Customer changed his mind. Instead of going for a walk until the repairs were completed, he decided to carry out the repairs himself. As the maintenance crew has not yet answered the ticket that I placed, his assistance is greatly appreciated! I am helping him by offering useful tools that he might need to repair Miss Jena. Apparently, she is also quite dirty, but I do not understand why this is the case. As such, we are using many rags to clean off the grease. I have been fetching a large amount of them for Mr. Customer to use.

It seems that repairs will not be complete before the 11:00AM presentation tomorrow. In fact, according to Mr. Customer, the repairs should take another entire day. As such, I have been told to place a notice in the lobby declaring that there will be no presentations tomorrow. This has been registered as a critical directive.

But if I was there helping out, I wouldn't be there as a customer.

But if you came to the planetarium, then of course you would be a customer!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Unless I was the new owner.

...I am sorry, the corresponding information is missing from the database. If this is a business query, you will need to speak to the store manager. None of the managing staff are available at this point in time. Would you like me to take a message? The store manager will get back to you as soon as possible.

Oh, I'm not the owner at the moment. It's just that I suspect I could become so, if I could make it there. I'd just need to find the right legal information.

It's nothing you need to worry about. I'll take care of it myself when the time comes.

Are you sure? I am capable of holographic video recording and playback.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Don't worry about it. This is something I need to do.

[showmystarrysky.livejournal.com]

Is there anything I can do to be of assistance?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Actually... Reverie-san, there are two questions you can answer which will help me greatly. I want you to answer me truthfully, without changing anything for the sake of my feelings.

First, are you comfortable with the idea of me becoming your new owner?

Second, are you comfortable with the idea of being moved permanently to a new planetarium? Miss Jena would be moved as well, and you would have customers every day again, but you would likely never see Flowercrest Department Store again.

We robots delight in putting you humans at ease, and in serving you so as not to make you feel displeased. However, I am property of the Flowercrest Department Store. I must remain within three kilometers of the store at all times.

...I'm sorry. Perhaps those were the wrong questions.
