Rogerhidden: Back again, huh? Do you really expect to find anything? After all, the only one ever here is me, and I am just a computer A.I.
Luke: You never know Roger. After all, it is possible there is still someone alive.
Rogerhidden: My scanners show that you are the only one in a 500 mile radius. Do you really expect someone to show up out of the blue?
Zach HAS NOW ENTERED CHAT ROOM
Zach: Hello? Is anyone here?
Rogerhidden: Well, what do you know? Someone else has shown up. Be careful, Luke, he might be a bot. Question him, see if he knows anything. They always slip up.
Luke: Hello. Who are you?
Zach: My name is Zachary. I don't know where I am. Who are you?
Luke: My name is Luke. Are you a bot?
Zach: I don't think so. I feel human. Are you a bot?
Luke: Absolutely not! I thought I was the only one still alive.
Zach: So did I. how did you survive?
Luke: I was locked up in an underground lab. After the war, I locked myself back in, and I've been here ever since.
Rogerhidden: Interesting… according to my calculations, this person has a 50% chance of being a bot. Keep him talking.
Luke: What's your favorite food?
Zach: Pizza, why?
Luke: Pizza's good.
Zach: Why did you ask?
Luke: No reason.
Zach: Okay.
Rogerhidden: It looks like he might actually be legitimately human. You might want to ask to meet up before he leaves.
Luke: No, he might still be a bot.
Zach: What? Is someone there?
Rogerhidden: Don't give away my presence!
Luke: Look Zach, if I knew where you were, I would rip your programming out with my bare hands, you metal scum.
Zach: What?!
Luke: I know you're a bot!
Zach: No I'm not! Honestly!
Luke: If you aren't a bot, how did you survive the war? I was in a laboratory, so what's your excuse?
Zach: I woke up in an underground bunker, so I guess I held out here.
Luke: You were in the force?
Zach: I guess so.
Luke: I should have been in the force. Maybe I would have died like everyone else. I guess you're legit. We need to meet up.
Zach: Okay.
Luke: How about 4th Broadway? It should be safe there.
Zach: Sure.
Luke: I'll call you by your username. Call me Noah.
Zach: See you there.
