[Congratulations, smart person. Your application to work at the Tesladyne institute has been processed. All that remains is the interview with the institute's founder, the intelligent robot known as Atomic Robo. Robo is by far the most unusual thing in the office, which is otherwise utterly mundane. You've never seen a robot wearing a t-shirt.]

Glad you could make it, take a seat.

[Downtown is being trashed by a sixty foot tarantula that is spitting green fireballs]

I can think of five reasons why that can't possibly exist off the top of my head.

[Despite the physical impossibility of it, it just ate a mail-man. Robo slumps his shoulders.]

There are guns in the truck.

[You're both on the way to a mission in the depths of the Amazon Rain Forest, on a helicopter. Robo takes you aside at one point on the trip.]

Listen, we're going to be going into enemy territory for this one, so you'll need to be prepared.

[As you contemplate how you THOUGHT you were going to check out some vine covered ruins that had risen out of the ground mysteriously, Robo leads you to a large crate in the back labeled "Bug repellent". He flips the latch and the top pops open to reveal that the crate is full of guns.]

[Athrun stares into the crate.]

This is your idea of bug repellent?

Right. Yours are the big ones, I'll bet.

[The fact that the woman in question probably would have trouble lifting them makes them Robo's by default. It's okay, she's got a tasteful number with a bullpup and minimal weight. But it might have some trouble with sixty-foot anythings.]

Glad to be here!

[Is this a little green man? It just might be. It takes him a while to walk over to the chair and get into it-he's only a meter tall. Not as much of that is head as it looks in pictures, but he's still got a proportionally over-sized noggin. Selective pressure must be different where he comes from.]

Gotta say, it is an honor to be considered for this job.

[ All right, Elise, you've made it this far. Your PhD is faked, and in fact written entirely in purple glitter pen, but you've made it as far as an interview.

AND LOOK! That is a real, live giant talking walking robot!

...Well, kind of live. Animated? Thinking? What's the cut-off for "living" anyway?

No, concentrate. Don't be distracted by how awesome the Atomic Robo is. ]

I'm glad to be here. You're so awesome.


[ ....Nailed it. ]
