"Mm. Bits and pieces," said Rooster, clonking the side of her skull with a fist. It made a nice, resonant metallic sound. She liked it enough to do it again. "It's all up here, it just gets scrambled and takes time to regrow. Aren't you lucky?" she grinned, hefting the table up again, "You got the brain damaged one!"

She grunted, curling up into a ball, getting her feet in and lifting the table with her legs instead of her arms.

"So there are twelve of us. My family, I mean. Named after Zodiac animals, dog and tiger and so on. Goat was the first, cycle follows from there. I remember them, bits and pieces. Last guy wanted them too. Too bad for him he was up against Snake. Did she kill him? She was definitely capable of it, physically, but it'd surprise me if she - oh nevermind, you said you didn't know. Can I see the crime scene?" She clonked her head again. "No! Bad Rooster! You don't have to care yet!"

She heaved the desk up with two legs so that it shivered and clonked onto its thin side. She sat up, running fingers through her air. "Anyway, I get it lady, already told you I didn't need the hard sell. You've got the carrot, you're keeping the stick quietly on the table and you're asking the expensive robot to be honest with you, I [i]geeeet [/i]it. I have been sufficiently Managed! I am Honest and Helpful! Alignment training: successful!" She gave a thumbs up to show she was serious. "Your problem here isn't I don't get it, it's that I [i]suck[/i]. I'm the dumbest and weakest of my siblings, complete design dead end, and unless a lot has changed since I was out you're still up against the Perfect Child. So, just like I told the last guy, I'll tell you: [i]I can't beat Snake."[/i]
