Is this good? You're...not sure. Like, objectively it's very bad. The primal ape part of your brain is screaming at you [i]aaaah fire run away!!!![/i]. But you now have the sense that if this robot really wanted you dead, you'd already be dead and that ignoring it is the worst possible thing you can do, so specific fear tells primal fear to shove it and kicks it into the corner for a panic nightmare later. Also, the part of you that's a level-headed commander and feels the social obligation for every other person here thinks that maybe this is actually good because none of your people are hurt by the fire and nobody is being shot at anymore. 

Okay, deep breath. Ugh, deep breaths hurt and you desperately wish you were ten years younger. Youth really is wasted on the young, especially in a nomadic lifestyle. You know that sometimes the cave folk will accept people from your tribe as retirees if they come with enough of a tribute to not be a burden on their new community. But you really are supposed to make it at least ten more years before you do that. Also at least one more hour, so suck it up, deep breath.

"Um...okay. I'll duel you. I'm...not really sure you got the objective right, or what California is, or what we're dueling for but most importantly, can we make it first blood or first to surrender and not a duel to the death please?"

"WHAT THE BLEEEP!" You could have said fuck, there is nothing in particular that would prevent you from saying fuck here, and you know the word perfectly well, but you've always liked the vibe of the cuter streamers who don't say naughty words, and it's funny because of the reference to extremely old world styles of media censorship, so you said the word "bleep" out loud instead. "I was gonna say we have to follow Sandrea and make sure she's okay, but now we have to make sure we're okay! Yo, beekeeper bot, what gives? I'm getting crazy weird readings off that bot that shot all the lasers, same as you. Is there like a 1000 year doomsday clock that somebody just happened to set like three years before the major disaster that sunk the whole coastline?"
