Office Hours

[Compared to the other two, Oswald is much more difficult to get time with. He only appears on school grounds on Tuesdays and Sundays.

Nonetheless if you're determined... he can be found. Most of that time is spent hovering around the Faculty Office. It's almost like the Entrance Exam made him anxious of just walking around freely or something...]

Yes, but she was skilled with all manners of technology.

But robotics were forever her passion.

[preconstruction]

Was she going to use them to combat the threat to your world?

[adminus]

...hahaha.

No. Not her. Vivienne would never have seen her creations as tools to be used for war.

She was very sentimental about her work.

[preconstruction]

They're just machines.

[ and like he would know??? also hes a great tool for war ]

[adminus]

There are those who might think that way, yes. I suppose so. But even myself— I think they are machines full of great purpose; some even more so than man.

Limitless possibilities are something men dream of, but argue how real it is. But for androids, it is built into them.

I do wonder... which is more loved by its creator... human, or machine.

[Sounds like he thinks the latter. He’s only slightly bitter even.]

[ it's hard for him to keep looking at oswald this time - not because of some simulated want to prod at his feelings, but because what oswald says hits him deep. no one has ever talked to him like that about machines before. no one has ever praised him like that. it doesn't matter that hale sounds a little bit bitter, it's still a lot ]

I don't know. I --

[ he's not equipped for this kind of philosophy. ]

Is that what you think of her creations? Had she really developed androids in your world?

[ because he heard they were ai-less robots, but you know. ]

[adminus]

No, I apologize for going on such a rant. There really isn't a clear answer.

[He folds his hands together.]

Not quite. They had not yet been completed. But she was very close, if her results were any indication.

Her teacher on the other hand-- has created several.

[preconstruction]

You don't need to apologize, I wish I could better engage with you on it.

[ at least he sounds sincere. ]

Who was her teacher?

[adminus]

A very unique man by the name of Scott Gallivan.

Not an easy man to get in touch with-- or speak with, in truth

[preconstruction]

That's unfortunate. Otherwise you'd be able to finish her work, I imagine. And Professor Han, he deals with programming, not robotics.

[adminus]

In truth, we'd like to negotiate with him, but it's... proven difficult.

He's... an eccentric individual, to say the least.

As of right now, winning him over is our best bet for completing her work.

[preconstruction]

You and James, you mean?

[ hm. i'm going to be honest he was trying to switch the convo to be about han but i guess they're talking about this robot guy now. ]

Maybe you could show them to me, sometime.

[ i mean he's an android and everything. ]
