I'd like to take a trip to Old New York. Or New New York. Or whatever it is they're calling it these days. It's a personal matter, nothing serious for anyone here. However, given my... unfamiliarity with the current time and my public status, I would like to request someone come along with me as an escort or a distraction for nosy cits while I take care of my business.

I'm willing to accompany you on anything you need to do while you're there. [Assuming it's legal.] No need for a wasted trip on your part, after all.

It's true. Everyone wants some of our spare freedom.

So I'm gonna head into what might be dangerous territory for me.

That the reason why they named you that?

[thedreamisdead]

No big drama. My grandparents named my mother that when they first moved to Mega-City One. Full of hopes for the land of opportunity, I suppose. They believed in the American Dream. Never met them, they all died before I was born, but my father told me about them.

My mother was killed by the Judges. My father got pregnant with me a few months later and decided to start over. Do things right. Named me after her.

Hang on. Your father got...

What?

[thedreamisdead]

Men can have babies. True, the practice has died out largely due to robot midwives, but...

Well. In any case, my father didn't quite go that route. He was a bit... odd. After my mother died, he had his moved into her body. A guilt complex, I suppose. Had his original taxidermied up with robotics and programmed with some of his classics. Like I said, a bit eccentric.

Before he had the brain transplant completed, he had the doctors impregnate her.

[deafleppard]

That's weird.

Like.

So... weird.

[thedreamisdead]

I'm well aware of my father's oddities.

You're welcome for the reminder.
