[A few days after gravity is restored to the station, Ryuji returns to the mess hall from Haru's garden to find a small robot flipped upside down, panicking through a series of morse beeps and boops, which- okay, that's kind of cool, and quickly figures out that the paneling and suction entrances of the little guy means it's probably meant for filtration and cleaning.

Looks pretty study, looks... waterproof, maybe? He lends a hand to get him right side up and it starts slowly moving forward. Ryuji takes out his communicator and immediately films this as it happens, because, why not?

He posts two videos on the network- the roomba moving down the hall and one, a few hours later in the fitness center as it crawls from the edge, and dives right in.]

Oh shit! Are you supposed to do that?

Whoa, whoa- I don't know how to fix you if you--- WHOA, COOL.




Hey, sup?

Just lettin you guys know the pool looks crystal clear now. All thanks to this little dude.

I figure I should give 'em a name but uh

Everything that comes to mind is kinda lame

Anyway, I think it's good? Anyone wanna give it the first try?

2B-san...

What's it gonna do? Threaten to steam and iron our jumpsuits?

[historyrepeating]

[Well that's nostalgic.]

Just 2B is fine.

I've seen machines merge together and create new life, you can never be too careful when it comes to things like this.

[ryuji]

[That's terrifying and so crazy that it probably means it'll happen.]

EH?

Dude, what kind of mecha roomba do you think it's gonna make?

[historyrepeating]

[Just imagine the white haired mini android with no dong that would plop out...]

I don't know, and that's why I told you to be careful with it. Is there anything nearby you could use as a weapon?

[ryuji]

[Listen, if it came between the roomba needing to defend itself and a room full of anti-roombas trying to form a pool cleanin', human destroyin' machine, Ryuji would be happy to tape a knife right onto Simba and let him battle it out, robot royale style.]

I'm pretty good with what I got.

Let's just say my moves are particularly great against machine life
