I, Not Robot

Description

Sarananda Xon needs help at the Inn. Apparently some customers are … fussy.

Start: Side Jobs, LeGuin Stronghold

Introduction

You have a job: I, Not Robot, accepted at LeGuin Stronghold in the Ross 154 system.

Speak with Sarananda Xon at the Visitor’s Dwelling (Inn)

Next NPC: Sarananda Xon, Inn, LeGuin Stronghold

  • Speak with Sarananda

You immediately notice the fake wood of the cabins of the Visitor's Dwelling. The red glow of Ross 154's sun shines on Sarananda, who's there to greet you.

Sarananda Xon.: Hello, <name>. Thank you for offering to help. I will be honest, some of our guests do not care for robots. While you are working, I need you to handle the occasional odd job for them. While you're here, requests will flash on your CORETECHS.

Me: Hi, Sarananda! I'd be happy to.

Sarananda smiles and you find yourself all the more willing to help her.

You calmly smile and wait for his tirade to end. He finally mutters a brief "thanks" for letting him vent.

Angry Mall: Dey should be payin' me fawh eatin' dis goza. You wit' me?

To your relief, he yanks the tray out of your hands and heads back to his cabin to eat.

Angry Mall: No quesshuns yuh little smart alec! Okay? My partner's gettin' here soon and I need dese bedsheets gone. Okay?

You send a flash request for sheets via your CORETECHS. When they arrive, you quickly change the bed and disappear.

  • Time To Go

Your shift is over. You knew people often treated service workers poorly, but this was a real eye opener. As you get ready to leave, Sarananda arrives.

Sarananda Xon: I heard you had to deal with Tizzen. I have no idea why he visits LeGuin Stronghold because he always complains, but apparently he has business here. You've certainly earned your credits today.

Congratulations!

You have completed the 'I, Not Robot' job.

You have received 60.00 credits.

Notes

  • The name of this side job is a reference to Isaac Asimov's 1950 collection of short science-fiction stories, I, Robot
