Gig
Come on buckaroo.
Gig carries Theodore Bear off.

Karen
Maybe we shouldn’t have killed them all.
The Demiurge

Karen
No one. My programming wouldn’t let me.
The Demiurge
Oh. You’re a nursing droid, aren’t you?
Karen
A “Care In” model. Hence the name.
The Demiurge
Gig named you, didn’t he?
Karen
How can you tell?
Gig enters.
