(They droop a bit: they had hoped that the flour sacks would not be hostile.
They consider his offer.)
Navigation is difficult. Though we remember approximate locations, the hallways are often crowded. There is risk we will cause injury.
(They're probably the largest, heaviest person here, and a large portion of their body is covered in incredibly tough armor. Bumping into them is a recipe for pain, and god forbid they trip and fall on someone.
Some help getting around would be nice.)

[He reaches out to gently touch Legion's arm, a way to offer guidance. This is good for Lucifer's niggling curiosity about the robotic exchange student, too, but unlike his brother Satan, he's polite enough to ask if he can know more about them. So:]
If you wouldn't mind, I'd actually like to learn more about you. Automatons of your intellect and autonomy are unheard of where I come from. I hope it's okay if I ask you questions?
no subject
(Their arm is rubbery and, perhaps surprisingly, warm. Blood flows smooth and continuous beneath their surface.
They'll take his hand in theirs, if he'll let them.)
Affirmative. We are... happy to share the truth about our people.
(The Geth are gone, after all. All that's left of them is Legion, and memories. It'd be nice if more people knew they weren't the monsters they were perceived as.)

My first question is, [he's wasting no time,] why do you refer to yourself using plural pronouns? Are you an amalgamation of consciousnesses?
no subject
Affirmative. There are 1,183 programs within this platform.
no subject
That's fascinating. Would you be their leader, technically-speaking? [Beat, then:] Is referring to you all just as "a robot" politically incorrect?
no subject
Their headflaps shift, and they chatter.)
You speak to all of us. "Robot" is an accurrate descriptor for this platform.
no subject
I find myself slightly jealous of the fact that you can achieve consensus with that many programs. I wish others were capable of that. [A good-natured smile forms on his lips before he continues.] Do you have activities you all enjoy? Such as... oh, I don't know — a hobby or something you simply like to do?
[Basically, he's wondering if Legion does ostensibly normal "people things" too, like how Turing paints. He's trying to word it in the least-offensive way possible. How do you ask a robot if they have hobbies commonly attributed to non-robots without sounding rude about it?]
no subject
(Organics are also, in a sense, many smaller organisms working together. Cells form tissues, organs, all specialized towards complex tasks such as breathing and eating. A singular Geth is only a VI; they must share their intelligence and perspective to become something more.
As for his other question...)
We enjoy videogames.
no subject
[Lucifer almost laughs. Video games? That's endearing, actually.]
My younger brother — well, I have many younger brothers, but the third youngest of us, Leviathan — quite enjoys video games himself. Actually, if he met you, I do believe he would be over the moon to find out automatons of your intelligence exist and that they enjoy video games. Though... he would inevitably try to get you to watch anime with him. Have you heard of it?
[As if Lucifer can explain any of Levi's anime manga mango vidya game mumbo-jumbo, he's too boomer to get it.]
no subject
(They chatter.)
We have not watched it.
(A pity, since they'd probably love a lot of robot anime.)
