Woah hey everybody! I'm Jin Aznable, super genius, and I guess I'm a part of this secret society too. Looks like you all hit the lottery! See, I'm a robotics engineer and I'm pretty much the coolest guy. I made a mistake redesigning this surgical unit I've been working with, and the model number was... this access number! Pretty freaky. So looks like I'm also a part of whatever this is.

I work with medical robotics, and I don't really have a specialty. So I've designed prosthetics, an artificial heart, and a lot of tools for micro surgery. Lasers and stuff, pretty cool. Other than that, uh, I like giant robot stuff. And I've got a kid, but I'd rather leave her out of my cool and weird secret society thing. Ha ha. Any questions?

I am not starting any rumors about me having robot parts!

[Huffy:] They can get on my case all they want, I'll--pee in a cup or whatever, there's nothing there.

[Jin please you have naturally grey hair you're on death's door.]

You are definitely too old for superpowers. The happy-go-lucky abusing my powers stuff is only cute if you're under twenty.

[amajin]

Why not, you've got the perfect player for the part of the mad scientist right here!

[Not all of it is naturally grey! Most of it is naturally brown, thank you very much.]

You're gonna eat those words when I get better superpowers than you do someday.

[sucrosity]

You're already method acting, or whatever! No dice!

[Enough of it is grey to count!!]

If you get superpowers at all!

[amajin]

Then maybe I'll really make you robot parts...

[I started getting grey hair when I was your age, Yoko...........]

Oh I'd better, or I'm asking for my money back on this special secret weird society thing.

[sucrosity]

Can't you just make me a robot, instead?

[Yeah well mom didn't so shut up.]

I knew you bought your way into the cool stuff...!

[amajin]

I've never tried to transplant a human brain into a robot before. LET'S DO IT!

[How would you know, she probably dyes it!]

Hey, hey, hey. All I buy is really cool robot figures and statues. Everything else is on my own merits.

[sucrosity]

MAYBE YOU SHOULD START WITH YOURS!!

[you live with another woman every summer, you figure that out, Jin.]

Really cool by whose standards, exactly?

[amajin]

That's just ridiculous, Bun, I can't transplant my OWN brain into anything! Haha. I kind of need that for stuff.

[Damn that woman and her good genes. Then again, as long as she passed on all the longevity to you, it's all good.]

Objective standards, obviously. Come on, I'm all about science.

[sucrosity]

Build a robot to do the transplanting, duhhhhhh.

[Too bad she inherited the smartass genes from someone else.]

Science and being a big nerd!

[amajin]

Ooh, that's a pretty good idea. I'll give it a smily face to improve its bedside manner.

[He just laughs.]

Well, the latter runs in the family!

[sucrosity]

[Drawling:] Just don't give it your personality.

[Wow no.]

I'm not a nerd!

[amajin]

I couldn't possibly capture this winning personality in an AI.

[He laughs]

Sorry, bun, it's hereditary. You're unlucky enough to have me as a dad.

[sucrosity]

You mean you don't know how to program narcissism into a robot.

Unlucky is right!

[She sounds amused.]

[amajin]

No, I'm pretty sure that I could figure that one out if I got the chance to work on it for a while.

[He sighs.]

You never did forgive me for all those early life gundam marathons.

[sucrosity]

Of course you could...

Well, yeah, that stuff's confusing for a kid. And now I'm haunted by mecha nerds.

...besides, Ma-X is better.

[amajin]

Look, you and I have to love each other, all right?

That's why I'm not having this conversation with you again.

What kind of daughter doesn't appreciate the glory of War in the Pocket, I ask you?

[sucrosity]

[There's about thirty seconds of silence.

They've had this fight before, complete with dramatic flouncing (from both of them) and lots of tears (mostly from Jin).]

Fine.

Take off the nostalgia blinders and pay attention, old man...
