[The room, once you've entered it, has a number of ear buds laid out on a table.]

Now, pop those ear buds in and we'll begin the test! Failure to comply will result in desyncing and forcing your team to pay for a replacement body.

Trust me, most roboticists aren't.

Has anybody tried the whole, "this statement is false" routine yet?

[not_so_fast]

...Man, I'm actually embarrassed that I didn't think to try that.

[loyal_tothecore]

Taking pictures of them with a flash-bulb camera? Getting Jeff Goldblum to write you a virus?

[not_so_fast]

That's gremlins and aliens, but points for effort.

AHA! NERD NUMBER TWO, FALLEN NEATLY INTO MY TRAP!

[not_so_fast]

Yeah, me being a nerd really isn't a secret.

[loyal_tothecore]

So you express your fandom openly, huh? Dress up, go to cons, that sort of stuff?

[not_so_fast]

Uh, only on Halloween. But I have comic books and collectibles and stuff, sure.

[loyal_tothecore]

Last year, who'd you dress up as?

[not_so_fast]

Teen Wolf.

[loyal_tothecore]

Hmm...

[not_so_fast]

Also, if you got all those references, aren't you pretty nerdy yourself?

[loyal_tothecore]

Wha—no!

[not_so_fast]

It was a pretty nerdy nerd trap.

[loyal_tothecore]

I have a friend is all!!

[not_so_fast]

Hey, it's cool. Nerd is the new cool, no need to be ashamed.

[loyal_tothecore]

Tch, I should have stopped at Asimov...

[not_so_fast]

That's at least thematic.
