Involvement

Act Three

Slow-Butt plays with his friends on a small stone-paved space at X: -166 Y: -75. He and his two mates,  Cinnamon and  Punkins, are standing near Golbraith's Home. He is waiting to take his turn in a game where the kids pretend to be a  Steel Watcher scanning two others as citizens to check their 'records'. However, his friends obviously toss the 'watcher' role to each other, denying Slow-Butt a chance to participate.

If spoken to, Slow-Butt complains that he is bored waiting for his turn to portray the automaton. If a party member takes part in the game and asks Punkins to scan them, Slow-Butt complains that they jumped the queue.

If the party tell Punkins about Cinnamon's "spy candy" (detecting it prior), Slow-Butt gloats about it, saying he calls dibs on this sweet.

Idle banter

  Halt, citizen! Prepare to be scanned!

  I am holding very still! Go ahead and scan, Watcher!

• Punkins

• Punkins

  Hold still, citizen. Initiating scans and stuff.

• Cinnamon

  Go ahead! I am totally not an Absolute spy!

• Punkins

  Humm zip humm humm zip!

• Punkins

  Violation! Violation! Whoop whoop!

• Cinnamon

  No way, hee hee! I know my rights and I have nothing to hide!

• Slow-Butt

  Ha ha! Fun at last! Punish her, Watcher!

• Slow-Butt

  Aw, come on! When is it my turn?

• Punkins

  Be patient, citizen. Or else!
