How's the whole hydration thing working out? Everything going okay?

[cyberlife]

Hello, Scott.

I have since set reminders on my implant so, in case it slips my mind, it will prompt me every other hour. So far it's been useful, but I haven't been able to drink 8 glasses in a day.

(the slosh...)

[evenslimmer]

I guess being an android means you've never learned that the "8 glasses of water" is a bit of an old wives tale.

[cyberlife]

No, but humans typically prefer the familiarity of generalized statements and "old wives tales" over exact amounts. Otherwise women would be expected to drink approximately 2.7 litres while men would be expected to drink 3.7.

How much do you drink daily?

[evenslimmer]

At least 3.7 liters.

[ dID YOU THINK HE WASN'T ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO GOES FOR THE EXACT AMOUNT. ]

On average more like 4.4, but I'm considerably more active than other people.

(I'VE MET YOU ONCE, WHO ARE YOU)

I see. Then I apologize for being presumptuous.

... I'm sorry, do you have an update for me where the sickness is concerned or anything else that might aid in our investigations?

[evenslimmer]

That's not something that requires an apology.

[ Somewhere in the multiverse, the X-Men are goggling that someone might be more socially awkward than Scott Summers. ]

The bulk of my investigative efforts are going to remain dedicated to the monster mystery for the foreseeable future. But I'd be happy to help if you wanted me to, even if it's just as a sounding board.

[cyberlife]

That's generous of you, but what I've learned is inconsequential compared to those who've been updating everyone on the network. Falling behind is frustrating, even if it's not a competition.

How have you been settling in otherwise?

[evenslimmer]

I don't know how to put this delicately, but you are adapting to a completely different way of existing while trying to be Sherlock Holmes. No matter how good you are, it unavoidably takes time and effort.

As well as can be expected? Considering we've been kidnapped and subjected to invasive bodily modification without our consent.

(basically just got called sherlock holmes... tries to read scott's recommendations after it and manages, but he's too being being flattered to follow-up on it...)

Thank you very much. I am my world's only android consulting detective.

(CRACKS A JOKE NO ONE WILL LAUGH AT.)

I share the same worries. What have you been up to?
