Face

1xpp1 came into the kitchen. "No," said 1xtw5. "That is not the Earther face; replace." A quick duck and peek into the hallway mirror revealed that the face worn was, indeed, not an Earther face, but the ooze plate for Sol9. "I shall rectify," it said and returned to the sleeping chamber. Emerging again, moments later, 1xtw5 approved. "Yes," it said. "We are unlikely to fail our mission today." "Your assist was vital to our success," 1xpp1 sighed and, in its best Earther voice, added, "and I shudder to think what would've happened if you had not saved me from myself." "Intergalactic war and a painful death," 1xtw5 responded, pleased that the partnership was agreeable and productive.
