(Deep breath)
 
Queen in F6
 
"Papa?" Yes
"There's something I still cannot fully understand."
Why is that?
"Why do the pieces sacrifice themselves for each other?"
(chuckles) It's a tactic
within a larger strategy
Checkmate
Ultimately protecting
what is most precious to them
(zapping) (grunt) "Papa?"
 
"Papa"
"what's wrong? Papa"
I-I'm fine boy, it's just-
it's just my eyes are a bit [muddy]
I must go out to buy a new pair of glasses
"Now?"
I won't be long. We'll pick up where we left off.
"Can I come with you?" No, I must go myself.
I've told you, it's not safe.
(Door clangs shut. Birdsong outdoors.)
(Key turning in lock) (mysterious orchestral music)
(zapping sound)
(mysterious orchestral music with clock-like rhythm)
(zapping sounds and intermittently, muffled noise of a crowd of people)
(grunting) "Papa" (footsteps)
"Don't touch me"
No!  MINE!
(Door clanging open)
(Birdsong. Playful orchestral music.)
"Nice eyes and ears, old man."
"Why not give it to someone new to enjoy?" No!
People! People! (distant yell of alarm, followed by sirens)
(Ominous music)
(Children scream)
(footsteps)
(thudding footsteps)
(door creaks open)
(door slams shut)
"Well, old boy!"
"What can I get for you?"
I need a used immersion system
Late model, with audiovisual
No olfactory
"You're still living with that thing? are you?"
"Well it's built from military scavenge, it will always be military"
"It's a weapon at heart"
That
"This"
"This came off a guard that was hit by the milita last week"
"Almost perfect condition. The IDs aren't wiped."
"You'll have to do that yourself"
(birdsong)
"Look, I didn't mean anything by ye"
Yeah
"Militia!" (whooshing sound)
"Not again"
(sirens and ominous music)
(Door closes) Wait! (Door locks)
(pounds on door) "I'm sorry old boy! Every man for himself!" Let me in!
"this your shack?"
"where'd you find that ImmerSyst?"
(dramatic music)
(zapping) (groans/yells in pain)
"Papa"
"Papa" Riley! Go home.
"What's this?"
"Your doll?"
"Watch out! He's on spec hardware"
"Looks like military grade. Do NOT engage"
"Well well well, what do we have here?"
"Let my papa go"
"Oh"
"Let my papa go!"
(chuckles)
"Hey"
"Toaster oven"
"Do you need your human?"
"What did you say to me?"
"[Don't talk to me]"
Please don't!
"Warning"
(beeping)
"My papa"
Run, boy, run!
No!
Stop! (grunts and yells in pain)
(hopeful music)
(roars)
 
(zapping)
 
You may come out.
Sorry
I'm so sorry
I will make things the way they were before
I will erase it all away
 
"I love you, Papa"
"Papa"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Son
"Papa"
"You've been crying?"
