Rocket could only smile in response. Talking to Kreska had not been working out for her this morning, and the smaller woman had gone from calling her sweet, to calling the ship gorgeous and Rocket's systems were fried.
Cady had gone surprisingly silent, likely preening to the idea of being gorgeous in whatever way artificial intelligences preened. The slight with the chimichangas seemed to be put on the back burner for now.
"I am separate from the Var:jo, but am also the Var:jo, simultaneously. It is complicated to explain." More accurately Cady did not like to explain it. To admit that the Var:jo could function without her, but that she could not function without the Var:jo was difficult to admit. She had no purpose outside of monitoring the ship's processes.
"Th'ship's weird," Rocket said to Kreska, which was saying more than she let on because Rocket had seen a lot of ships, from all over the galaxy. A veritable range of makes and models from almost every spacefaring race. "Allo th' Terran parts makes sense, but th'Calrathiion bits are strange. They'd make sense on a Calrathiion ship, obvs, but mixed with allo' th'Omnicorps stuff. Shouldn't be able t'really function."
Neither Rocket nor Camdis seemed to be aware of Kreska's reaction to his approach. Rocket turned away from Camdis, only looking back in time to see the way she continued to bounce, the small tilt of her mouth.
"Yer not th'problem," she explained, shaking her head and sending blonde dreadlocks all about. "These two are th'problem," she jerked a thumb at Camdis, before waving her hand around to indicate Cady. "They're brats."
Cady scoffed, indignant and Camdis chuckled.
"'Sides, this one promised ya'tour, so…"
"A guided tour," Cady emphasized. "I trust you know which zones are off limits."
"Yes, Cady," Camdis tilted his head in the direction of the bridge, indicating that the two women should follow him. "We'll start at the bottom. You'll get to see the engine room, the weapons systems, and meet Cady in person, which is a really exciting prospect, I bet."
