>Employee Q to Bond with Future. Ask him about how Drones fit into the world/his opinions on Drones in general.
Employee Q leaves his office and heads to the containment cell. Seems like he was working on paperwork involving your catalogs and A-Energy count.
Employee Q enters the containment cell.
The knight <span class="mu-r">flinches</span> the moment it notices the drone approach.
Q: Anomaly nicknamed "Future". Here for questioning. Accept?
ANOMALY: I suppose so. What do you want...?
The knight's sentence trails, stopping before it says anything else.
Q: Inquiry: Involves the current visitor, me.
Q: Opinion on: Drones, Drone-Managers, Dr-
The knight slams the sword's hilt on the ground. BANG.
ANOMALY: Cease talking. I got the question.
ANOMALY: How do I feel about Drones?
The knight takes in a deep breath. And out.
<span class="mu-i">Calm down. Do not let your worse self come back.</span>
ANOMALY: That is irrelevant. I am here to protect. If that requires protecting Drones, so be it.
ANOMALY: That is the will of the Father and the one who guided me to a better self.
Q: Question: Being avoided. Question: Hasn't been answered.
Q: Repeat: Opinion on Drones?
ANOMALY: I told you my answer. I need to protect, so I shall.
ANOMALY: Even if it's something that the Lord did not create. Even if it's-
The knight twitches. Something starts to grow out of his back.
It looks like a <span class="mu-r">wooden cross.</span>
ANOMALY: A corporate mockery of what a man should be. Even if it is man playing God.
ANOMALY: EVEN IF SUCH THINGS DEFY THE WILL OF THE FATHER HIMSELF!
The knight grips his blade and approaches Employee Q.
Employee Q raises his hands, backpedaling away.
Q: Calm down. Repeat, calm down.
Q: Assault will lead to various penalties. Both for you and the others.
The patch of wood growing on his back keeps expanding.
ANOMALY: EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A CHILD OF THE LORD. EVEN IF YOU...EVEN IF...
<span class="mu-r">The knight raises his blade up, preparing to strike.</span>
Employee Q raises his hands to protect himself.
Q: Strike me down if you must. I did my order.
The knight stops. It looks at the camera where you're watching from.
<span class="mu-i">Stop. For the sake of a brighter world. To move on.</span>
ANOMALY: I. I don't know what. came over me.
The knight steps back to where he was previously standing.
The wood slowly retreats back into him until his armor is back to normal.
ANOMALY: This was shameful on my end. I apologize.
ANOMALY: Old habits dating thousands of years back are. hard to break.
Q: Leaving: Recommended?
ANOMALY: Yes. Do not. Do not return. Not for a while. I need to clear my head.
Q: Understood. Sorry for: Current emotional d-
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-r">Leave. I need to control myself and you are not helping.</span>
Employee Q quickly nods his faceless head and ducks out of the containment cell.
Interesting response, even if it's not the one you wanted. Better to know than to not though.
