Chapter 16. Holding out for a home life
Man-twin, pack up your bags. I, among others, have joined the elite ranks of the Guides and now have the illustrious job of welcoming naked people to this crazy hippie commune.
Which means we now get CUSHY SECTION 4 DIGS. Heat. Air. SPACE in which you can conduct your science and play with your star-friend. Let's get going already and into the lap of luxury.
[Hastily added in.]
Boss. Buddy. Pal. Section 4 only has two bedrooms, I'm afraid. So unless you like couches...

But I am serious about teaching Derrick stuff. I didn't realize it but...there's nothing to say that the ninjas won't be back right?
Struck out when he's judged that Genius had enough time to read
Genius. All of our group except the ninja are in the fourth section now. You are a section apart from us, an elevator ride away. What if that was on purpose? Bell or I or even Lotus would be delayed in getting to you to back you, Derrick, and Fred up.no subject
I'll watch Derrick during his hatchery duty. I can schedule myself during his shifts.
As for the 4th sector... Unless Derrick wants to offer us one of the beds and you sleep on the couch, Genius, I can't say what should be done there. We do appear to be split up, and we'll just have to accommodate for that.
Now, Youth, stop scaring him.
no subject
Good.
I do not think that is a good option, because that leaves Lotus out as well as putting Genius on a couch. Between Scavenging and patrolling for the Watch I do not have much time to guard, and my patrol is Captain Planet.
I am sorry. I did not mean to.
no subject
Well, if this became something we had to do, we would bring Lotus along and we could camp out on their floor. Guard is my duty, not yours; you do your jobs and I'll handle mine. It's not your job to protect everyone, Youth.
It's fine. It's not hard to do.
no subject
Is there another way to get into the 4th Section? I only know about Hatchery Guides. It is the job of a friend to protect friends. Especially when I have skills that they do not.no subject
Other than living with someone who has a right to be there, I don't think so? I can ask around with some of the older residents, but I believe hatchery is it.
Yes, comrades do have to protect comrades. They are my comrades too, Youth. If it would make you and Genius feel better, I can live in their house myself, as their guard, to have access to the people we know in the 4th sector.
logic. he has it.
That won't work forever and besides that our house is not an airport! Look it's not just us in danger. If the ninjas attacked Section 4, then everyone else is in danger like my new neighbor Grift. Why not just step up the security for everyone?no subject
What's an airport?
There aren't that many Guards or Watch, and that really would be a task for Watch. I'll talk to Stoneface, but he's going to probably say the same thing: not enough manpower.
You can have a private Guard. That's probably the most I can definitely offer you.
no subject
Ah a place where airplanes take off and land. An airplane is like a bus only it flies...Oh wait you don't know what a bus is do you? Look never mind we'll get back to that later.
How can we not have enough manpower? People die all the time! Ya think that would be the one business that's hopping!
Look I don't want to wreak your home life just because Derrick and I didn't think this through.

he misses his tribbles
poor thing
and by sister i meant daughter
of course. they are so easy to confuse.
no subject
If you are able to ask that would be good.
I would miss you a lot. But if it keeps them alive...
no subject
I'll see what I can find.
We can always schedule sex in somewhere, and find a babysitter-guard for the mantwins and Fred during that time. Our sex-life doesn't trump their safety.

Getting their paranoia on! WOOHOO!
Oh God. I didn't think about--you think so? I forgot Fred's moving too, with Innovator right? That's--not good. But it's Derrick, nobody has really gone after him, not like how Toushi has his eyes on me...it's gotta be a coincidence right?
...Right?
no subject
It is coincidence, yes.Youth fails at lying...
I am sorry. Bell is right. It must be coincidence. I am sure. Mostly. Partly. But it probably is.no subject
You guys suck at lying.no subject
He is not lying!no subject
But it makes sense. It's ok though because you're gonna teach us ninjas tricks so if they come after us we'll be ready right? I can buy a gun.no subject
You're more likely to shoot yourself and Derrick than the invader.its so canon
What?! No I wouldn't! I want a gun!no subject
You want to keep a potentially loaded gun in a house with Boss?
At least find someone to teach you to fire a gun before you keep one in the house.
