You've reached the King of Hell. If you're calling about something trivial reconsider leaving a message.

MISCHIEF?? That kind of behavior goes way beyond mischief!! That was borderline manslaughter and there's no two ways about it.

I said children shouldn't walk around spaceships by themselves. I didn't say anything about NOT letting them experience things. If you know he's going to pull these kinds of stunts, then he should never have been left unsupervised to begin with.

Obviously I told security, I'm not an idiot.

Also I said murderers go to Hell, which is true. If he and his "brothers" harmed others of their own free will, that is the kind of thing that people wind up in my realm for.

Most of them don't have free will. They are bound by needlessly cruel coding that forces action or inaction in certain situations and they are powerless to do anything about it.

[hellsringmaster]

So they have feelings and thoughts and can act on their own but also they're programmed to do certain things? Make up your mind.

What you're telling me is that not only are you willfully allowing robots equipped with weapons and the intelligence of a toddler to move about the ship freely but you are doing so knowing they are programmed to be dangerous? And you don't see the problem with this?

[deceptamom]

You have it right, it's a very stressful existence.

But you bring up a good point. There aren't many places on the ship that are fun, safe, and appealing to the many youths around.

Tell me what do you do here? What is your job?

[hellsringmaster]

If you're implying what I think you're implying, you can stop right there.

I will NOT babysit robots.

[deceptamom]

Prion's shadow, never!

But since I believe you're a jobless lump with nothing but time on his hands and you've brought up a valid concern I am volunteering you to design a fun and safe rec room so the kids and teens have an appealing hangout to go to and keep them out of trouble.

I'll be inspecting it with Ultra Magnus when you're finished to make sure everything is above board.

[hellsringmaster]

Isn't there already one? The Cool Kidz room or whatever they're calling it? and a brand new skate park?

[deceptamom]

I will hear no excuses. But you bring up a good point. Make sure your new area is distinct from the other two. Growing minds need a variety of stimuli. Maybe find a way to hide educational elements into it. Not too obvious. I'll be reviewing those too.

[hellsringmaster]

You realize I have no incentive to do any of that.

[deceptamom]

So all the concern about kids running around and being unsafe was just you blowing hot steam? Fascinating.

[hellsringmaster]

As we just established there is a perfectly functional safe space for them already.

I'm still perturbed you are so nonchalant about letting murder-robots loose on the ship. I notice you skipped right past that one.
