Farren #6
There was an eagerness in those eyes, mechanical and monochrome as they were. It wasn’t just the spark of whatever circuits sparked and gears whirred within that metallic shell of his — Horatio was as much a person as any figure of flesh and blood. Farren could see it. Perhaps more than that, she could feel it. Curiosity drove the wheels of humanity and its peers, powered by the sapient desire for understanding and comprehension. It was natural to ask ‘what?’ and ‘why?’, lest one choose to live in either fear or obliviousness. Neither appealed to Farren, Book was likely the same beyond his indeterminate range of archival knowledge, and Horatio? He too held the reins.
“It’s the kind that does not destroy its wielder,” he had said. On that point, Officer Fierabras was conflicted, but her own curiosity kept her from voicing concerns as she did little more than brush the sleeve of her arm passively. “This is the Gospel of Man,” the android continued, much to the woman’s intrigue. Sat with a forward lean and a slight hunch, she took in what was being shown to her — the simplicity of a book with pages yet to be filled and the complexity of a curious critter-like contraption.
“Absolutely,” Farren replied. It was time to ask her own questions, but the most likely ones to escape a person’s lips when faced with such an oddity were shelved in favour of something far more spiritual in nature. “I have to ask, Horatio; why people? Of all the foci of study this world has to offer — birds, plants, weather — what compelled you to pick ‘man’ as your field of study? Hm, better yet,” she paused a moment, visibly contemplating what to say, “what’s your chosen scope? Society? Culture? History? Or do you not see a need to pick and choose?”
Eyes shifted to Book, curious still as to whether or not the man would have questions of his own. He wasn’t the type to ask too much, but this was an opportunity. If not for a chance to reflect upon himself, then to show that there were perhaps things he did not have an extension comprehension of. It crossed her mind: Horatio was unlike anything she had ever seen, so was it the same for Book…?{Post Synposis:—}
Farren shows her curiosity.
