[1] add ten points if the friend is the opposite gender to the protagonist and the same genger as the associate. [2] "hardbacks? wha's a hardback, daddy?" "it was a kind of book, baby." "what, a collection of pagemaker files?" "no, a - the things made out of paper with one edge stuck together. books." "never seen nothin' like it, daddy. which crazy greek goddess you pray to so you can learn this stuff?" "aren't you supposed to be in dock?" "oh. yeh. goonight." *murmur* you gotta love a precocious AI with an attitude.
