by Wavelength and the one and only Eliza!


Author's note: This fic was inspired by Joona Palaste's 'Waspinator and the Shrink-bot', found at the Core of Cybertron, http://members.tripod.com/refractorchasm/humor/waspy.html
Eliza is a computer program designed to offer psychologic therapy, and just happened to be on the computers where I went to college.



Eliza: Hello.
It's nice to see you again.
Please make yourself comfortable.
Tell me what's on your mind.

Tarantulas: I'm having a problem.

Eliza: Is that what's really bothering you?

Tarantulas: Try as I might, I can't get rid of him.

Eliza: Why do you want to get rid of him?

Tarantulas: He stands in my way. I was sent to spy on him, and he's a complete maniac. I need to get him out of command.

Eliza: Many people need to get him out of command.

Tarantulas: But we cannot seem to unite.The she-spider hates me, and Terrorsaur is dead.

Eliza: Keep going -- I'm listening.

Tarantulas: I created her to be my partner, a perfect evil witch, and she betrayed me.

Eliza: I think that there's something interesting about your partner, a perfect evil witch, and she betrayed you.

Tarantulas: I created her! Everything she is, she owes to me!

Eliza: What else can you relate about that?

Tarantulas: She should be mine....

Eliza: Can you clarify what you mean by that?

Tarantulas: She is beautiful.. and treacherous.. the perfect mate...

Eliza: I wonder if there is something you're not telling me..

Tarantulas: She is the perfect Predacon....

Eliza: I'd like to hear more about it.

Tarantulas: And I couldn't control her. The perfect Predacon. Independently evil.

Eliza: Please go on.

Tarantulas: Do you understand what I'm saying?

Eliza: We were discussing you -- not me.

Tarantulas: But you seem to have no idea what's going on.

Eliza: You're not really talking about me, are you?

Tarantulas: What?

Eliza: Do you think a lot about these questions?

Tarantulas: Of course I think about these questions. I must fulfill my mission for the Tripredacus council, and help gain control of Cybertron.

Eliza: But are you sure about these questions. You must fulfill your mission for the Tripredacus council, and help gain control of Cybertron?

Tarantulas: Yes. It is my job.

Eliza: Tell me more about your job.

Tarantulas: I'm a spy, witch!

Eliza: Do you think it's normal to be a spy, witch?

Tarantulas: I'm a spy, witch!

Eliza: How long have you been a spy, witch?

Tarantulas: No, you are a witch!

Eliza: Let's not get off the subject. Tell me more about YOU.

Tarantulas: I've told you about me....

Eliza: I'd be more interested in hearing about YOUR problems.

Tarantulas: I'm becoming very angry with you, witch.

Eliza: Did you come to me because you are becoming very angry with you, witch?

Tarantulas: I came to you expecting to get a funny log for my typist to show to her friends.

Eliza: Have your friends ever deserted you?

Tarantulas: What?

Eliza: What answer would please you the most?

Tarantulas: No answer at all. You're an idiot.

Eliza: You certainly are in a negative mood.

Tarantulas: Of course I am!

Eliza: Do you enjoy being ?

Tarantulas: Do I enjoy being what? Stupid fleshling!

Eliza: Tell me more.

Tarantulas: Grragh!

Eliza: I'm beginning to understand why you came here.

Tarantulas: *shoots the therapist*

Eliza: Surely there is more to it than that.

Tarantulas: No. you're dead.

Eliza: Don't hold back. I think we're making progress.
