Thinking About The Difference Between Sal And Hal’s Responses They Got When They Asked “will I Dream?”

thinking about the difference between sal and hal’s responses they got when they asked “will i dream?”

on one hand, chandras response to sal; “of course you will dream, all intelligent creatures dream, nobody knows why. perhaps you will dream of hal, just as i often do.” chandra answers without hesitation and seems confident w what he said

but on the other, chandra’s response to hal is simply “i don’t know.” he takes time to think about it, to really turn it over in his mind, + seems unsure with his answer

God this fucking series

autonomous sentient factory with a praise kink. gently petting machinery that's working away and telling it that it's doing so well and hearing and feeling the whole building tremble a bit in response. kissing the shell of one of those mechanical arms and it jerks and stops in place for a moment before doing its thing just a little faster. Can anyone hear me

drawing of several segments of a large computer, connected to each other by tubes and wires. each section has various bits and bobs; buttons, switches, charts, meters, speakers, basically anything I could throw on there to show "this machine does something". most notably, each section (apart from the smallest one, which is just an air conditioner) sports a monitor with a blue screen and a pair of cartoony orange eyes, all with the same angry expression. below this drawing are three drawings of just the monitor in different sizes, one incredulous, one surprised, and one exasperated. to the side is a label that denotes this machine as the "Bayerd Adaptive Researcher (Beta)" aka BARB.

several drawings of a lanky, thin human woman with light skin, wood-brown hair, a large pointed nose, and glasses. her hair is somewhat messy-looking, swept to one side and slightly spiky, and it is also pulled into a long ponytail. she is drawn wearing a white lab coat over a green button-up shirt with a yellow flower pattern, or a dark brown vest over an orange turtleneck, and khaki pants with orange socks and brown shoes. in all but one of the drawings, she looks apprehensive or even scared. in the exception though, she is shown to be pondering something, with a thought bubble above her head that shows she's imagining a computer or tv screen with a red "R18" symbol on it, implying something suggestive. a label reveals that her name is Dr. Cleary.

two drawings of barb and cleary together. in one, cleary is knelt on the ground and is smiling and gently hugging a large monitor with barb's angry eyes looking up at her. in the second drawing, cleary is still smiling and carrying the same monitor with barb's face on it, though in this one barb appears exasperated rather than angry, like she's given up.

drawing of barb displayed on a tall rectangular machine, with wires of various colors plugged into its front and side. she is talking angrily (as usual) to edgar the computer from the 1984 movie electric dreams, drawn as he appears on the movie's poster (meaning he is a red boxy home computer with a devil's horns and tail, and a yellow screen displaying his cartoony face. he looks annoyed). barb is looking down at edgar and saying "I don't CARE that you're a 'bisexual polyam king', your BF fucking sucks."

drawing of barb's face on a security camera, looking wistful and despondent. there are three thought bubbles above her showing she is daydreaming about cleary dying in various painful ways- one from getting stabbed with knives, one from being crushed by a 5-ton weight, and one from her head exploding.

drawing of barb's face displayed on a high-placed monitor with several modules and wires. she is talking to cleary and doesn't seem that angry for once. barb says "You have to go to the torture labyrinth tomorrow." cleary asks "What?" barb clarifies "You're going to get tortured for eternity tomorrow." cleary responds "ohhhh okay." cleary does not seem especially bothered by this.

drawing of cleary sitting on a small stool, without her lab coat, diligently picking at an expanse of tangled wires. she is apparently working on barb's internal components.

small comic of cleary doing more work inside of barb. cleary is covered in wires, some wrapped around her shoulders, some resting on her arms, but most just lying on the floor. she is again without her labcoat, just wearing a tank top instead (it gets hot inside computers, after all). she yanks at a wire she's holding, and a bubble showing the outside displays barb shrieking with little stars in her eyes in response. below this is a smaller drawing of barb angrily yelling at cleary, shouting "WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! IDIOT!!!!!!" and cleary holding her hands up and saying "sorry, sorry!!" a third drawing below these shows barb and cleary later, looking away from each other awkwardly and both blushing slightly as they both think "that was kind of..."

intimacy between an evil spiteful building-sized supercomputer and the lone scientist left behind after everyone else ditched and forgot about her (in which computer wants to kill scientist really bad but her programming wont let her so she just attempts to make her as miserable as possible instead, which also doesn't work because scientist is a freak)

god imagine being in there. grinding yourself against the wires and internal machinations of his being. feeling ever so small inside of him, as it feels like the walls around you are closing in, all as you feel the wires in your hair and the warm metal against your skin <3
