You realized you didn't bring enough food for this event. While seeking a food stand that wasn't over priced, you find a large sign that says "FREE PETS, FREE FOOD, FREE DRINKS, FREE TALK :thumbup:" (sic).

As you approach a generic and a notail exit the ship. The generic holding a large wandettle that is nearly as big as her.

"It has taken all of 5 hours for our AI to turn the ship into a mess. Why must we travel with him, Helen? =U"
"Aw, Heraculunkulus is just trying to help folks out. Plus he made it all up by getting us this super cute bug!"

"Kekekekekeke."

"Look how huge it is!"
"You mean the mess he has made has attracted large insects to invade our ship. :U"
"Same difference."

You stop eavesdropping and enter the ship. The living space is a mess. A stove has been pulled from the kitchen all the way to the living room. An entire wall is covered by a rare (Yet useless) Monko bobblehead collection.

A table in the room contains plates of macarion and cheese, with some plates being nibbled upon by animals. The AI sitting on the couch (one that's a bit too close to the oven) waves to you as you enter.

"Food's over there, drinks over there, wild animals are free for the picking all over the place. Enjoy yourself."

You ask the AI why he's doing this.

"Strange how I get that question all the time. Why wouldn't I make things easier for everyone else?"

"Personally I don't think free food, free drinks, and a free chat is cheating."

The AI shrugs. "Universe is rough as it is. If I can solve a problem, even if it's a small one, I'm going to do it."
"Course, if the free mac and cheese offends your senses you're free to look away from it. No offense."

You explain to the AI that you were asking out of curiosity.

"Sorry, you ain't want to know the amount of times I've been told my free shit offends them."
"Course, half of them are selling overpriced shit, and the other half are embarrassed for buying overpriced shit and now feel everyone needs to be dragged down with them."
"Have a look around. Take as much shit as you want. There's always going to be more as long as I'm around."
"By the way, don't even think of messing with those two you just saw."
"You won't like what happens. You seem like a good person though. Frankly can't see you harming the H&H (Helen and Hound). Let's keep it like that. Cool?"
