I was out of the country, in case anyone was wondering. Yes, hello, I'm the computer guy, for those of you who--who forgot.

[Hi, Wheatley. You're sounding very exasperated today.]

I mean, I probably should've said something, but you know how it goes. Get yourself into a spot of trouble, spontaneously develop superpowers, spend the rest of the week holed up in your apartment, and finally get on a plane to England but not before stuffing your pockets full of notes to yourself about all of--all of this.

[Amazing, tell us more.]

And here--here's my tangentially related question, while we're at it. How many of you have got powers that are--that are completely useless? And I don't mean "might possibly have some kind of legitimate application in the future" and/or "might possibly be somewhat useful in an out-of-the-box sort of way if you tilt your head and squint" and/or "might possibly become useful with subsequent pulses/echoes/whatever we're calling them today". I mean really useless, completely and totally and irrevocably useless, to the point where I don't--I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with it.

Ordinarily, I would assume this is a sort of--sort of a common occurrence, but the general consensus seems to be powers that are, at least, somewhat useful, and I'm trying very hard to be helpful around here, but at the moment I'm sort of at a loss.

That was my holiday, so.

Yes! True. But you are the first to talk about raves, so.

My ideas are amazing.

I'm not throwing any raves.

You're passing up an amazing opportunity, y'know.

I think...I think I'll live.

Even if you could get laid?

I mean, there's still a pretty slim chance of it, but the possibility exists.

Maybe if I was guaranteed to get laid.

Hey, you have to be willing to take risks if you want to get anything out of life!

I think, in this particular instance, that I'll be okay without.

Fiiiine, no sweet rave parties.

Can I still call you "Wheaties"?

I'd prefer you didn't, but that hasn't really stopped anyone before.

Huh. I'll have to come up with something more original.

Wheatley is just fine, really. S'what most everyone calls me, so.

That's like, your last name, right? What's your first?

[nnoooooooo]

Oh, uh.

[nnnnooooooooooo]

Pen. Is fine. If you feel like--if you feel like being on a first-name basis.

[oh but yes]

Pen? That's not a name! You're holdin' out on me, aren't you?

No, no, it's definitely my name. [it's short for peNDLETON]

If I was going to make something up, wouldn't you think I'd pick something a little less weird?

...Okay, sure. Sounds legit.

Good! Glad we got that settled. Still prefer Wheatley, if you must know.

You know what, that works. My phone probably auto corrects pen to penis anyway.

Pen is an actual world, it wouldn't--it wouldn't autocorrect. It's a writing utensil.

You don't know my phone very well.

Okay, okay. I'll trust you on that.

Good.

Anyway! Good luck with the. Flashlight eyes.

I'll be sure to, ah. Keep you in the loop. As it were.
