Report in.

Maybe I'll decide to care.

Don't see why that's important. It's over, isn't it?

[biocomposer]

It is. And you weren't in control of that other Jasper's actions. But those experiences can still have an impact on you.

[justsayyes]

It's not like I'm upset or anything.

I'm...

It's fine.

She was strong.

[Which is certainly Something for Jasper to say about any human. Even one that's also her.]

[biocomposer]

Strong in what ways? Physically, emotionally...?

[justsayyes]

Of course you're going to be all analytical about it.

[biocomposer]

Of course.

So...?

[justsayyes]

So how do you feel about your breach self? Why do I always have to be the one picked apart?

[biocomposer]

You don't. It's just unusual that you take an interest.

My breach self was...vulnerable in a way I'm not used to. It's a strange memory to have.

[justsayyes]

Yeah, well. I'm sick of us always talking about me.

You care about being vulnerable? On the Barge?

[biocomposer]

I don't enjoy being vulnerable anywhere. But regardless, I'm simply not used to it.

[justsayyes]

What, do I need to punch you more? You're a human. And not even one who's much of a fighter.

[biocomposer]

Comparatively, I agree. However. You're referring to physical vulnerability and not, say, emotional resilience.

[justsayyes]

Whatever. Don't see what the big deal about that is.

[Even if it was kind of what she was getting at, calling her human breach self 'strong'.]

[biocomposer]

What the big deal is about non-physical forms of strength, you mean?

[justsayyes]

Not all of it, maybe. A soldier who can't handle battle is worthless. But that's not what you're talking about.

[She can't even really articulate what it is, the kind of strength of self he has. The flexibility. The ability to heal.]

[biocomposer]

I don't think it's what you were talking about, either, in reference to your other self.

[justsayyes]

She was only human. Guess she had to do things differently. Doesn't mean anything.

[She's not jealous. Or a discomfited by the idea of a version of her in that life experienced more happiness than she ever did doing what she was created for. Than she ever has doing anything.]

[biocomposer]

No?

I think you would been benefit from that kind of strength, just as I might benefit from greater physical strength.
