Just adding Dudes dialog, but cant seem to trigger Free Drone convs about it
__________________________________________________________________________________
P= Player D= Dude
P: Hey Dude: Have you seen anything like this? Show him the ACoRN
D: ::He puts down his bottle. He looks serious.::
Whoa, man... I... Whoa, I know this from somewhere.
D: It's - *A Connor*!
P: A…Connor?
D: Wait... It's all coming back to me... ::He stops to think, his eyes turning more and more distant.::
Man, I... see this image before my eyes... of this, like, round thing in an open metal case... case just like that one. This sphere... it's, like, glowing in the dark.
P: Can you describe it ?
D: It was... awesome, man. It was... an *Awesome Computer of Notable Roundness*.
P: Awesome Computer of Notable whaaaaaat!?
D: Roundness, man, roundness.
P: I don’t think that’s what ACoRN is supposed to stand for
D: No, man, it stands for A Connor because it was made by a Connor, but it's an Awesome Computer of Notable Roundness because it's an awesome computer of notable roundness.
P: Who’s Connor anyway ?
D: The guy who, like, made A Connor. Pay attention, man - I mean, really!
P: I mean what do you know about the guy – if he is a guy – besides him or her making the ACoRN
D: Whoa... You're right, man! Connor's also, like, a last name! Maybe he's not a he - maybe it's an it!
P: Or maybe She’s a She
D: Nnnnnah, man. I'm all for "it" now
P: “It” like something that isn’t human ?
D: ::He nods.:: Yeah, man. Something non-man.
Unman. Inman... ::He shrugs.:: I'm just speculating.
P: Nermind the gender, Tell me what else you know about Connor
D: I really don't know anything about Connor, who or what or when he is other than that he made A Connor, Awesome Computer of Notable Roundness. That's... the information I got in my mind, and you already know how that thing works. ::He takes a gulp of brew.::
P: What do you know about the ACoRN itself ?
D: Well, not much. I don't even know where I'd seen it. But I know it's important, like, very important. And powerful. Totally awesome.
I think... it's one of those creative computers, man. You must've encountered those somewhere; they make stuff out of stuff. You just, like, plug them in, let them do their thing and after a while they, like, make... if not a complete mess then something cool. A figurine. A keyboard. Apocalypse.
This one, now this one's of notable roundness because, like...
You see, a sphere is the perfect shape - no weak points; you know how the saying goes: A bar is as good as its drunkest patron... or something to that effect.
But yeah, a sphere's the best at enduring high pressure and stress, not so much external pressure cause it's made of tough stuff, but rather internal pressure due to all, like, hard thinking it's gotta do.
I know I get under a lot of stress when I think a lot, so much so I think I'm gonna explode. If I was a sphere I'd never explode, man. You'd be able to put me anywhere and know I'd be, like, nonexplosive to the max. Yeah.
P: What the hell are you talking about
D: Stress, man. Keep up.
Anyway, things of notable roundness tend to, like, roll around when you don't want them to, which sucks. So you gotta keep them in boxes of notable cubeness for easier stacking. Or perhaps of notable tesseractness, but those are, like, really, really hard to find here.
P: Would you hold on to it for me?
D: Are you derailed, man!? I'm not keeping anything like that here. Someone's, like, after it for sure, and I don't wanna get woken up by a bunch of stealthed, shielded, *sober* cyber-assassins after you're gone.
And don't you dare, like, stash it somewhere in my cave! I see A Connor lying about - Imma throw it out, man, no matter how awesome or of notable roundness it is.
P: I'll take the ACoRn elsewhere
D: Yeah, man, you better
