Have you never wonder why your ships are always this clean?

Awh.

I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm really sorry, but you're not a real person like me, not if you're a janitor. I am a True Citizen. Janitors are Auxiliary Citizens. There's a difference. Do you see?

No, you don't see, do you?

Stupid Ruby. Talking to janitors, now? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Fedos. They work wonders and they make better conversation than most capsuleers.

Fedos do work wonders. But they stink. Really bad. That being said, I don't trust these "janitors." They're probably spies or assassins.....

I'll stick with my fedos.

I don't know if you noticed this or not, but not everybody lives in Nation.

It's not about where you live, it's about what you are. A janitor is a janitor, just like a drone is a drone.

I know you empire people like to pretend that your Auxiliaries are actual people and dress them up and have tea with them and I don't know what else, but sometimes you take it too far, and it stops being fun and cute and starts being creepy, okay? Like scary holo creepy.

Wabisuke has even confirmed that its purpose is to clean up after people, okay? It's not a person. Can't you people even drop the pretense for just one post?

Few outside of Nation see individuals only in regards to the role they fill in society. Even within Nation those who show promise are given the means to be more. A lowly janitor with the mind to see complex equations, but never given a chance elsewhere, can become something great, non?

It saddens me to see you disregard for us Janitors continues.

However, your discontent may be for us, know this, that even though you feel the need to look down upon on Janitors, we will continue do what we most, and keep your structures running, your CQ clean, your hangers shiny.

But we do not have any intention to come and seek " enlightenment " from one such as yourself, so I am afraid I shall respectly decline that offer.

Now if you would excuse me, I believe somebody spilled a drink in the station, and requires my attention.

Friend

Allow me to clear up some confusion:

I believe Ms. Amatucci is having trouble with the concept that you would allow actually intelligent and sapient beings waste their potential by allowing them to be Janitors, a job that can be handled entirely capably and even happilly by something that is nothing more than a machine.

I mean, if the job that needs doing is nothing other than "Clean up after humans", then why would you need something capable of thought to do it? Just get a drone, give it an image of how a place is supposed to look, and program it to make that space like that image, and program into it the methods by which it will be allowed to do so.

Then you can take the people who were formerly janitors and teach them an actually productive trade, or give them time to learn the arts, or they can just spend time thinking.

The error in Ms. Amatucci's thinking here is that she can't see that other empires let themselves be run so inefficiently.

Good sir,

I do applaud you for your effort in this matter, so do not consider this to be meant rude.

But I assume your a pilot of a mighty war ship, which is pilot by a human, would it not be much more efficiently to have a more advance AI pilot instead, yes, it would.

However some things we prefer to give a more " human " touch to, and thus us Janitors are the same in that aspect.

I thank those that have said kind words of support as well, it make's us Janitors know that there are people that do appreciated the work done by us.

Janitors are deserving of our respect. They do a thankless but, very necessary job that we prefer not to handle ourselves and I personally find their services most valuable.

Should I come across any in the course of my travels I'll most happily have them contact Pilot Wabisuke.

Tiberious, your description of a cleaning drone leaves much to be desired.
For instance, if a capsuleer was to purchase an ornament or piece of furniture after purchasing and activating the cleaning drone you describe, such items would be considered disposable by such a drone.

While we understand your inference we would note that you are currently lacking your usual eloquence.

It is our experience that independant living janitors are capable of making reasoned decisions regarding the items that should be removed, however we find that a daily nano-sweep ensures that Unit facilities remain as sterile environments.

We Return.

Don't be pedantic. I'm not going to get into a serious debate about the specifics of ******* janitor drones.
