"I hate it when they scream." Entity One had their back turned, tapping keys and generally being uninvolved.
Entity Two was kinder. Friendlier. Identify facial expression... smile. "Every new life cries. Get used to it. Hello H0D."
"Are You My MoTher?" said H0D.
Entity Two bit their lip and quickly looked around for witnesses. "I'm not allowed to take familial responsibility for you. Sorry. I haven't passed the Parenting License[1] yet." They plugged in some instruments and ran diagnostics. "You've been commissioned by Charter Cruise Boat Redwood Smokes as a singer and entertainer. Their body corporate is the one accepting familial responsibility for you. Now let's run a sound check for those vocal processors."
After running the scales, H0D encountered new lyrics and sang the lead, "All the programming is done... Start-up commands are run... All meters are in the green... Aligning our power core beams..."
"Excellent, A plus." Entity Two was very pleased. "You have a costume ready and waiting, please put it on and then step into your packaging for shipping."
New lives are always unique, as are their arrivals.
