She is surrounded by all the mid-century conveniences and kind of creepily a dress that her father has laid out for her.

And instead of dialing zero for Hank and his help, she leaves and comes across a couple of crucifiers from the Legion.

And she's ready to smack them with something she finds on the wall.

But she no longer needs to because now they're nice guys.

And she realizes why.

Doesn't have to use the fire extinguisher on them because they have been shipped.

They have been automated, manized.

And now they're best of buds with each other and with her.

So that kind of gives us a sense of the lay of the land here.

And as she's wandering around, we get this water cooler conversation between Sherman and Gregory, we learn their names are later, who are former members of opposing tribes from the surface and very cordially just offering each other the chance to get refreshments first, which I don't know if you saw this, but this reminded me of there was a viral video in November of these two phones with chat GPT talking to each other.

Oh, yeah.

And they're just like each addressing the other, not realizing, I guess, that each LLM is talking to an LLM.

They're just like both talking about how they're going to keep the good vibes rolling.

And it just continues almost infinitely because they just keep picking up prompts from each other and there's no substance to what they're saying whatsoever.

That's kind of what we're getting with these brainwashed LLMs.

people here, refugees or not really refugees, people who have been abducted from the surface.

And we also get this look at their synchronized movements of the automated men and women as they are, you know, choreographed, just assembling more and more of these devices.

Lucy continues to wander around, and she finds her dad, Hank, bearing his scar in a vault-style unit in the simulation section.

And he, even though he appears to be somewhat surprised when she wanders in, he takes it in stride and...

He just says, we never got to discuss all quiet, did we?
