[Rex is back, only this time his creepiness is offset by the fact that he's currently cradling a... hairless sphynx cat in his arms. Somebody's found himself a soulmate! He's idly rubbing its belly with one gloved hand, and the cat looks at the communication device with its wrinkly, scowly face, as if to say "You got a problem with this?" Rex's eyes are red-rimmed and a bit watery, thanks to, WHOOPS, A CAT ALLERGY. It turns out sphynx cats aren't hypoallergenic.]

I still don't believe there's anything magical about this. With the right stimuli, people can be compelled to do anything.

[Hmph. As if on cue, he cuddles the cat even more. Ughhh, this disgusts him.]

Anyway. The reason for this transmission is... I'm in need of a job. I'm a scientist-- an engineer by trade. I have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and-- [The cat bats at his wig. He scowls and swats its paw, causing the cat to play-bat at his hand and snag its claws on his glove. WHY CAN'T HE STOP HUGGING IT.] a degree in computer programming. I've also provided my share of medical services. [Both in the army and, uh, to his... human test subjects.] As you can imagine, such versatility has given me a wide range of experiences that would suit any employer well. A full resume can be provided upon request.

If there are any openings for jobs in the sciences, I'd be most grateful if you let me knew.

[The cat yowls and Rex shoots it a scowl.]

I hate cats...

....weirdest fucking thing I've seen all day. [And then there is so much laughing.]

I don't see what's so strange about this. [That's not true. He does. He so does.]

You should probably wash up after hugging the cat. Like...a lot. You don't look well.

[That's the nicest thing she's going to say.

and she's laughing again.]

[There's a loud purr as Rex... continues to hug the stupid cat.] How could anybody keep these vermin as pets?!

Well, around here they help with the ticking. That's one up-side.

Hm. That's nothing any other animal couldn't do. Perhaps I'll acquire a python...

Ugh.

Not a fan of snakes?

Mindy, sweetie...

[THE MOTHERING BEGINS.]

Not really. [It's a mild phobia. She can handle it.]

What? I wasn't doing anything.

Your language, sweetie. We shouldn't say 'fuck'.

Is this one yours?

It's not that bad a word. [But she likes Angela and her dad taught her to be obedient. Ugh. This is hard.]

This one? [Angela is unsure about those choice of words, Rex.] No. She's not my daughter.

When you're older, sure, but how old are you, ten? It's a little much.

Eleven. My dad never cared. [jdskfhakdjf this is just...why...] I'll try to not use it too much.

[This is the best she can do.]

[THEY'RE PERFECTLY FINE WORDS, TYVM.]

Ah. Just looking after her?

Eleven, sorry. And thank you.

[It's a start.]

How are you doing today?

[THEY MAKE HER SOUND SUBHUMAN, REX. JESUS.]

Not quite. I just met her the other days, but kids around here are still kids.

Uncursed so I'm good. Are you hugging cats?

Mm, of course. [He doesn't have much to say about that, because Rex is p much NEVER AROUND CHILDREN. For some odd reason.]

Absolutely not and thank God for that. I don't really like cats.

[Only one cat managed to worm his furry butt into her life and never again will another one do that.]

[Yeah, odd. Weird, even.]

Have you tried the hospital? We have medical doctors, but some work is also done by robots. There's room for technological work.

I haven't yet. My experience has been more focused on research and development than hands-on medical work, but if I'd known about robots... I'm sure the medical technology could always use some improvement.
