week 3 - hiro - friday post-investigation

[completelycrazy]

[Man, what a long day it's been, and this was only the investigation. Newt is so not looking forward to the trial tomorrow. Yet again, they have, like, nothing. How the hell are they supposed to walk out of this with a concensus now that they can't even vote for the partners? Ugh.

Whatever. That's tomorrow's problem. For now, he's just gonna... head back to his hut and try to get some sleep. Or that was the plan, anyway. He spots Hiro hanging around outside the huts. Oh! Good. They need to touch base. They always do, really. Newt heads over.]

Hey, dude. You doing alright?

For all we know, they're siphoning information to us one piece at a time just because they think it's hilarious to watch us scramble and come up with our own wild theories. Robots have their own sense of humor.

But trust me. Same for me? You don't know how many people just give me blank looks most of the time now when I start explaining stuff.

[Newt frowns.] Do they? That's, uh, troubling. [He's never met an AI before.]

Hah, yeah, same here. Or, more likely, I get called crazy or reckless. That's what Hermann and Pentecost thought when I pitched them my plan of Drifting with the Kaiju brain, but I did it anyway, and guess what? The info I got out of that is what saved the world.

[He laughs.] Crazy and reckless aren't exactly negative traits if you want my opinion, and the blank stares just mean they're too stupid to follow your genius. It sucks being a caliber above your average idiot sometimes, sure, but hey. We can do stuff those guys can't even dream of. We're rock stars.

That's the thing about science, isn't it? You've gotta take chances to get any answers to the hard questions. It's what we have to do here, too. I'll give people an assist where I can, but. [He grins because they're on the same wavelength, and yet.] Not everybody can be as awesome. I know.
