[Journal Entry]

[dreammoonchild]

I feel like there was a job I gave you, Uncle Onni, to get back to me on, but damned if I can remember what it was to be about.

Maybe something about robots before you transferred to R&D?

I think there was also something one of the Samasus was yelling at me about?

...Do you mean the whole thing where a bunch of the OOPARTS regulars want to make sure they can still do their job and not be totally taken over by the robots? Because I believe we talked about that. I know I made it clear they still wanted to do beat work and that the Twelve Peers system was meant to be more a monitor and archival system...

[dreammoonchild]

I swear there was something else...

And the Twelve Peers is meant to be a general sweeping system.

Some jobs are gonna be taken over by robots.

... Maybe we can roboticize some people as a compromise?

[becomeanwarrior]

...If you try to roboticize Suguru I'm not going to try and stop whatever happens to you afterward, Babs.

Some jobs are fine, just make sure Suguru is able to do her job the way she likes. She's one of our best.

[dreammoonchild]

Then she'll need to compromise that a chain of management above her either needs her to be a robot or religiously zealous to whatever we're calling Mom's Faith this week.

Since OOPARTS is the Earth Front of the Faith's ... like Knight Templars?

[becomeanwarrior]

And I'm telling you and Editorial, Earth isn't ready for a militant clerical sect given how little removed we are, in the grand cosmic history level of speaking, from the European Crusades. I can't speak for the faith of anyone on the team but myself and former Head of Dispatch Mikata.

And I've already offered her the chief's chair, she's not particularly interested.

[remarkablerain]

Boy, looking at this...... might be no wonder why I've been getting mixed messages, you know. You guys seem like you're on two entirely different pages when it comes to your robot armies.

[dreammoonchild]

Yes, when he should of gotten all of these memos.

So, do you want to be a robot or go through training?

[dreammoonchild]

Oh!

I remember, since this is an Onni thing, but you can chip in, Miss Samasu if you want.

Mom's considering retiring and handing most of her stocks to me, and giving me the Chairwoman Position, and Mrs. Kiriya would take my job.

[remarkablerain]

I'm not going to be a robot.

... and okay. But what should I be "chipping in" on, about this?

[dreammoonchild]

Religious training it is, then.

Do you think Mom's being a flighty broad and should we keep her chained down to her desk, or should I allow her some release from stress but I have differing ways of running BV.

... Do I come off as extremely corporate in a really soulless suit way?

[remarkablerain]

What's even involved in "religious training"?

I feel like if you let her go she'd end up just going back to working again like nothing happened in a year.

Also yes, at least to me.

[becomeanwarrior]

...She absolutely would forget she resigned and keep showing up to board meetings, Suguru's right.

[dreammoonchild]

So should we let her out to pasture anyways, as per her whim?

[becomeanwarrior]

I mean, probably? I think if she tries to stay fully retired she'll go loopier than usual.

[dreammoonchild]

Clarify.

[becomeanwarrior]

Noriko needs projects to work on to occupy herself. She might have some non-BV projects she wants to work on but once those occupy less time, she'll probably want to start doing work again.

Noriko loves projects, she just burns out easily.

[dreammoonchild]

So what do we do about her ease of burnout.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I dunno, honestly. I don't think she's really harming anyone, she's just kind of weirdly eccentric as most people are when they have that level of wealth, Babs.

[dreammoonchild]

I'm aware.

I just want Mom.

But doing what she wants without running into a wall emotionally?

[dreammoonchild]

Listening to me give religious instruction, hypnosis, sermon, and theological philosophy in a Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

While you sit at a school desk.

With no shirt on.

There may be a Burger King Crown on your head.

[remarkablerain]

...

Can I ask why OOPARTS is suddenly a religious front, anyway? I mean, last I checked the employee handbook, it kinda.

Wasn't.

[dreammoonchild]

I ascended to Godhood.

Mom and my aunt(s) decided to consolidate BV as the core religious organization of The Faith, and OOPARTS falls under it, so, what would a security force be in a religious organization.

"But BV isn't a church"

Mom is God

I'm her high priestess, and the company's Senior Vice President, follow the logic of Mom, and thou shalt know truth.

I can get you an appointment with her if you want.

[remarkablerain]

Technically I feel like I could just walk around and she'd grab me on her own anyway.

But yes, let's make an appointment. I guess.

[dreammoonchild]

Yes, I think you'd prefer to dress nice rather than have her grab you in undress.

[remarkablerain]

Ugh, okay, dress nice, alright.

[dreammoonchild]

You do realize the fact the militant clerical sect exists is due to yourself uncle?

Mom and Aunt Moeko and Aunt Momoko helped themselves to your table top gaming books and got the idea from them.

[becomeanwarrior]

Y-You can't lay that entirely at my feet! Not even retroactively!

[dreammoonchild]

Why not. They were your books.

[becomeanwarrior]

Just because they were my books doesn't mean you have to go and have a whole church wing devoted to clerics and paladins, you know!

[dreammoonchild]

Your books said that was part of a functional church order.
